Strictly '22 #15 Balls to the ⚽️. Its all about the Glitter Ball!

[xsquared]

Welcome to the shiny new thread.

One less day to wait for the next installment of Strictly!

@TitsInAbsentia yeah @FitYeDaeinYeMadRadge 's OH spotted it as well definitely on the shoulder, which is so much weirder than the cheek

Helen n Will did look close !
I saw him kiss her shoulder
I have ' player' vibes from him, but it might have been just him being friendly

Think you're right here, Kym off tonight.
I mean tomorrow.
Wow, shame they've all got to schlep back to the tv centre tomorrow eh ;)

Voted for Helen, Molly and Fleur. Difficult to choose tonight but I think Kim to go home.

Really tempted to look at spoiler as I am out tomorrow, but I shall sit on my hands.

I think the Kym is where she should be on the leaderboard. There is no way Will should have been top though.

Helen looked good style wise and the performance was great, but for me there was very little in the way of dance. A bit like when Michelle Visage was doing Vogue.

Watch the celebrity first then watch a second time and concentrate on the professional dancer. They are so talented and committed. Sadly I think it’s Kym’s time to go, but they are a fabulous bunch this year.

Will also had both arms around Helen's waist. Not a good look!

One vote each for Helen, Hamza and Fleur.

Totally agree with this. As part of a larger production, it would be stunning, and very interesting in the smallness and precision of the movement and balancing; but as part of a dance competition but overall a bit unsatisfying.

Ugh, I wonder if Will's wondering arms are unsolicited? He's such a creepy, smarmy git!

Being poorly last week probably knocked Kym for six . She seems to be a bit tired , which isn't s understandable

Is understandable I mean

Watched them all back.
Hamza - loved how connected they are
Helen - loved how sassy she was
Molly - loved how joyful she was
Kym - was in awe of the first half of it
Fleur - love her but only liked her QS, didn't love it
Will - liked the routine but least memorable/rewatchable for me

See you all tomorrow x

Voted 2 for Helen and one for Hamza.

Whilst Helen did really well, I always feel like she's dancing each part separately and there's no delivery of the dance from her heart. It's like she's thinking 'now I do the arms, now we do that step'. I just find her hard to connect with.
I love Hamza and I think he has such natural ability. I also feel he has had some duff music to go with dances, especially the weird Jurassic Park rhumba and having to do a samba to the slowest number in the Lion King. Even with that disadvantage, he was fantastic and Jowita is an amazing teacher and choreographer.

I missed it will kissing Helen’s shoulder ...that’s quite intimate if he did. I always thought he’s be a bit of a player got that vibe ...

I love Cabaret.

is it wrong to want to break Gorka a little bit?

Sorry Gemma you lucky lucky bugger

I think Moll and Fleur for DO.

I love Fame. Footloose. Dirty Dancing. As I danced out of the pictures for each of them over the years, I found my orbs to leave the place I didn’t fit.

It is about the feeling.

And I felt it with Kym. I was young, still had my own face and I was free. 🤩

Ha! Just been on Monkseal's twitter and he, too, made a taxi for Kym joke. I think this means we are simpatico.

She really doesn't need another man like that.

@FitYeDaeinYeMadRadge I shall never forget your kindness!

I might look at the spoiler later although I can't see it being anyone but Kym going and I'm pretty sure she'll be in the dance off, but if she's not then all bets are off.

I really wasn’t a fan of Helen before this.

Im a thrawn, ornery bit of a gal. Not one for changing my mind.

Ouiser. Ms Boudreaux if you will.

Ok lass. Ye’ve changed my mind. You make me happy.

Good on you. Ten from me.

I've just treated myself to watching Faye and Gio's charleston, followed by their theatre Jazz dance. Goodness, she was good. I know she was a bit of a ringah, but she put so much into it and she wuz robbed in the finals.

I really enjoyed Helen's dance tonight. I suspect the other performers also appreciated the "fuck you ex" element and the fact that she brought it off so well.

Ouiser. Ms Boudreaux if you will.

Could I beg a translation?

Well I've got a bit of catching up to do... my mum just texted me to say what did I think if the show? 'What show?' I said... totally forgot!!!!!

Steel Magnolias.

Ouiser is a bastard.

So am I.

But her friend Claire loves her (a little bit)
