SPOILER-FREE THREAD

Figgygal · Today 14:00

I'm wondering how long molly can keep going its almost cruel to watch

I know what you mean, but she’s in a tough industry and has at least been able to showcase how good she can be, which is probably why she agreed to do the show in the first place.

That's true @Bluffinwithmymuffin

Read somewhere that Kym will be able to return to the show, after being out - assuming she is well enough, of course.

Hamza. If social media is anything to go by, posts relating to him and Jowita usually gets the most likes and views by a factor of 10 than the next most popular.

I'm still not sure whether Helen has a big enough presence to make her a Strictly winner. She's got underdog written all over her.

I feel pretty sure Hamza will win and I hope he does. If, for some reason, he is not the winner then I think it will be Helen which I would still be happy with.

I can't see it being Fleur as she has been in the dance off so doesn't seem to have the fan base.

Thanks for the new thread!

Oh no, poor Kym being poorly
:(

Posted this, but on old thread: Just saw that Kym has tested positive for covid and won't be dancing on Sat night.

They all seem so close (physically) that I would not be surprised if others get it, as well. Wonder what they would do in that case.

Agree - that exactly what's been bugging me and I hadn't warmed to Helen at all - until this Saturday and I actually enjoyed the dance because I think she did too!

Surprised the song and dance list isn't out yet.

@xsquared ah, I see now.

I think Helen’s one of those naturally good, rhythmical, super fit, hard working types who was bound to do well regardless.

It’s a shame Kym’s gone out. I’ve never voted for her but enjoyed some of her dances. She added something to the mix and could have made it to the final by the skin of her teeth. Stranger things have happened.

Is Kym getting a bye or is it a withdrawal?

I like ambitious young women. Or for that matter, ambitious older women. But I know Hamza is going to win. It's a done deal, I think.

BBC says she’s just out for a week and will be back

Cheers Chessie!

That's a shame about Kym so near to December - poor old (irritating) Graziano- he missed a week last year with Judy Love as well didn't he. Kym when her hearts in it is a very good dancer. I loved her AT. It's dancing like that that makes me think- well, I wouldn't want to be your mate, but I take my hat off to how you move.

Oops, sorry, jumped the gun there re Kym!
I’d better read the article.

Dh doesn't like Helen much, he thinks she is simpering / fake
I loved her dance last Saturday: it was fun and frothy and she acted it well too.
I think she'll make the final

Thanks for the new thread Polka.

I just can't warm to Carlos but I don't know why. It's not because he's a noob, I love Vito and Jowita but not him. I'm sure he's not losing any sleep over it, it's just kind of odd for me to be like this.

Ellie may go this week

Hamza and Jowita on ITT are adorable. They are doing an AT - looking forward to it!

I can't wait for Hamza's AT. It's my favourite dance and I am hoping he will be good

Oh poor Kym. I'm surprised they didn't give a Will a bye earlier in the series actually, he sounded really unwell one week.

It does seem late to get a bye, but you can't really help when you get ill.

I feel exactly the same about him. It's very weird and definitively not a newbie thing as I love Jowita - she's my new favourite and Nancy is up there too. Also really like Vito although think Fleur would be better with a more experienced pro but I do like Vito in himself.

Carlos makes my blood run cold. It's a very odd feeling.

I was also surprised they didn't give Will a bye the week he was ill. He looked and sounded awful and could have infected everyone else!
