Remember as always this is a SPOILER-FREE THREAD.

I am moving to Team Helen.

Musermum · 12/12/2022 21:02

Helen for the win for me.

Alcemeg · 12/12/2022 21:02

Nancy terrifies me with all that pantomime crying etc. WTF.

2Rebecca · 12/12/2022 21:02

Stop the frigging "journey" cliches

I proper warmed to Nancy this year. Much calmer and totally lovely.

I agree.

EsmaCannonball · 12/12/2022 21:03

A 45 minute show, only five couples and no pro dance? Lazy. I really hate all the padding with repetitive VTs and conversations that everyone already had on the live show. It feels like the Results Show has become a bit complacent and 'phoning it in.'

Fleur is my second favourite left in the competition, and I really can't disagree with the result of that dance-off, but it never sits right with me that the mathematics of the voting system mean that the judges (and the producers) can almost certainly make an executive decision about who goes home in the semi-final. Will is probably third favourite in the public vote and, with the final based solely on the public vote, arguably the only one out of him, Molly and Fleur who stands a fighting chance of winning. In effect the final is now Hamza vs. Helen, with two celebs the public have been trying to jettison for weeks making up the numbers. In terms of crowd-pleasing telly, that doesn't make sense.

Craig's make-up looked like that episode of Dad's Army where they wear mortuary cosmetics in order to look younger.

Karen would have eaten all that pasta.

Hoping the post-watershed ITT is full of filth and effing and blinding.

Aquarius1234 · 12/12/2022 21:03

Nancy looked cute in that outfit.
I much much preferred her partnership with Will compared to Rhys? Past year.

IReallyLikeCrows · 12/12/2022 21:04

I don't understand how Will and Nancy can get to the studio for ITT so quickly. They've only just finished filming the results show. How does that happen?

Yes, sarcasm.

Aquarius1234 · 12/12/2022 21:04

So strange having ITT on a Monday evening after the result show..mad.

Exactly Esma

FitYeDaeinYeMadRadge · 12/12/2022 21:04

My stand out frock for Nancy was the line of duty one

i would buy that and twirl round Tesco

2Rebecca · 12/12/2022 21:05

I want a proper full ensemble pro dance in the results show

Mrsjayy · 12/12/2022 21:05

I can't decide between Helen or Hamza it might be down to the showdance , I think I'd like Hamza to win but not really fussed.

Musermum · 12/12/2022 21:05

Nancy looks stunning on ITT

Willmafrockfit · 12/12/2022 21:06

Molly looked like a delicious chocolate in that dress

covetingthepreciousthings · 12/12/2022 21:06

Does anyone know if Kai and AJ will get to
perform their dance from last year that they missed out on? I'm sure it was said they would come back to perform but then it doesn't seem to have been mentioned again. Would be a shame if they don't get chance but guess it's hard if they've not managed to keep up any training etc.

IReallyLikeCrows · 12/12/2022 21:06

@EsmaCannonball OMG, that is MY favourite episode of Dad's Army. Them standing in line with their corpse makeup on is one of the most hilarious things I've seen on television.

MavisMcMinty · 12/12/2022 21:07

Why wasn’t there a group dance starring Craig? Did they record it but someone got injured? Or was Craig as bad a dancer as his signature move suggests every week as he comes down the stairs at the start of the show? Or did I just dream them mentioning it on yesterday’s show?

FitYeDaeinYeMadRadge · 12/12/2022 21:07

Forest green must be in.

I need to go shopping. Lovely

Ooh is it my glasses? is it green?? She is so pretty

SolInvictus · 12/12/2022 21:07

Team Hamza for me, and I'm having Molly as my sub with Helen third and Fleur last.
I can't see Hamza not winning. Technically, Molly is the best dancer left in.
Realistically final 2 may well be Hamza and Helen.

I was wondering what you were on about then remembered Aj hurt her foot. Maybe they will have her back.

IReallyLikeCrows · 12/12/2022 21:08

If Hamza doesn't win I will be quite upset.

I'm loving Will and Nancy's honesty on ITT.

FitYeDaeinYeMadRadge · 12/12/2022 21:09

Hamza then Fleur for me.

and yes yes to AJ and Kai dancing

CuriousMama · 12/12/2022 21:13

This crying is getting weird

FitYeDaeinYeMadRadge · 12/12/2022 21:13

Oh man this is moving me and I have a hard bugger
