2 votes for Helen 1 vote for Will here

OMG! I'm so excited that His Dark Materials is back next week! I really enjoy what they've done with it. And then Happy Valley on New Year's Day! My cup floweth over.

Frostine · 11/12/2022 21:01

Will and Fleur in the dance off for me . Will to go.

FlamingWreath · 11/12/2022 21:02

Is it just me or this year is there no one who just really blows you away? Everyone is just quite nice and good. There haven’t been any stand out dances like Jay and Aliona’s jive or Fay and Gio’s Charleston.

IReallyLikeCrows · 11/12/2022 21:03

@CuriousMama That's brilliant. They mustn't have had a hat in his size!

m00rfarm · 11/12/2022 21:05

I thought Will did that very acceptably - I do not get the hate for him. It is Hamza I am still not getting. Seeing his legs and feet in the kilt made them look even worse - but clearly I have no idea!

Willmafrockfit · 11/12/2022 21:08

HAmza is popular because he shows joy

Aquarius1234 · 11/12/2022 21:09

I liked Will fun dance.

keepcalm11 · 11/12/2022 21:10

I cant help but think if Will's CC was half way through in the order it would have had lower scores from the judges. But because it was the finale they felt oblidged to go OTT. I dont seriously beleive Craig thought that was a 9

Musermum · 11/12/2022 21:10

No wow factor of past years for me. Voted Helen cos I love her and Gorka and would like them to win, Molly as I think her paso was great, and Will cos I was at uni in the 90s and remember buying Pills, Thrills and Bellyaches on cassette. Tbh don't mind who is in the final...

Love Bez's hat

RedToothBrush · 11/12/2022 21:13

Loved Will tonight.

The BBC don't want him in the final.

Have to say that he has no hope in the dance off even though I loved his cc and he nailed it.

The only way he gets to the final is if the whole of Manchester vote for him. (and they should!)

Cos Manchester la la la...

(not happening though)

BogRollBOGOF · 11/12/2022 21:13

Voted Helen, Fleur, Hamza.

Hoping for a Molly/ Will dance off with Molly to go through. I don't want to see her knock out someone I prefer.

I was clapping like a demented seal I love. HIS Dark materials!

Trinidading3 · 11/12/2022 21:16

Hamza to win definitely!!! No competition whatsoever....
🏆💯

Newmove12 · 11/12/2022 21:17

2 to Will - he had a bad week but I think he deserves the final and I don’t get the hate here. 1 to Hamza

xsquared · 11/12/2022 21:17

Hamza was great as always.

Fleur wasn't as wow as I think she ought to have been but how lovely is Vito?

Helen okay but AT should have been more confident. The end wasn't great.

Molly's paso was very dramatic amd what a Paso should be, I think.

Will's Paso was a bit awkward when he had the cape but Nancy looked great. Hated the couple's choice. I just don't think it suited him. With him being at bottom of the leaderboard, I think its only right that he leaves the competition this week.

Neither Molly or Fleur will win, but they are benter dancers than the others and should be in the final. At least one of them will be in the dance off though. :(

ThePoshUns · 11/12/2022 21:18

2 for Helen, 1 for Molly

My Scottish DH loves it when non Scottish people wear a kilt. Especially to Scottish events.

Same here! Love it when people of any nationality wear a kilt! I’ve seen it at weddings think it’s fab!

xsquared · 11/12/2022 21:19

Better dancers, obviously!

EsmaCannonball · 11/12/2022 21:20

Cannot tell you how much Shirley got on my nerves. Let's hope she's poached by DWTS.

Much preferred all the pros back up in the Clauditorium. Much better atmosphere.

Loved Nikita looking like a preppy murderer from Cabot Cove.

Three pasos and none of them much cop. Will's was technically the worst but more my cup of tea. I particularly liked the beginning where he looked like he was having issues with a purple shower curtain clinging to his wet.

There was a bit of Molly's paso where she looked like Bet Lynch chasing after a punter doing a runner without paying for his hotpot and lager-shandy. Didn't see what the judges saw in it.

I can't believe I'm admitting this out loud on here, but I thought Tom from McFly (who otherwise completely bored me) did the best paso since Austin Healey. That's the kind of paso I like.

Vito is just adorable. Carlos is such a good dancer, I would like to see him paired with someone more involving.

Loved that Hamza actually drove across the dancefloor in his waltz. So many of the male celebs do tentative, niminy-piminy steps in the ballroom dances. It was quite impressive.

BadSantaToo · 11/12/2022 21:21

Hamza lives in Scotland and is treated in his local area as one.
