We're moving so fast I'm setting this one up to be ready!

But WHY did they open the voting so early

Now Jayde really WAS stompy.

HA 😂

Four meh show dances. Fleur SHOULD win, I would vote for Jowita but don’t care about Hamza. My money’s on safe Helen with the back story

Fleur very rigid through her hips and middle.

fleur is too experienced in these shows, too x factory as said above.

Ha ha ha, to give you a taste of my vintage, former Strictly star, Sophie Ellis Bextor, was in her mum Janet's tummy when I was watching Blue Peter!

I've seen him. Not seen Kym though.

Because its live results.

That was weird. I don't remember them doing that in previous shows.

True. Nakedly ambitious too.

They do it every year. I've made the mistake of thinking we could vote for each dance before.

Vote bitterness (Helen) or jollity (Hamza) or neutral (Fleur) or reliable future talent (Mollie)

I'm voting for Gorka all the way. He's always been my favourite male professional. He's a bit short, but I can ignore that! I don't care who he dances with, he's my winner. Eye-liner and corset just make him sexier. Phew.

I feel, not meh exactly, but not terribly fussed who wins. They're all pretty good. I don't feel engaged with or charmed by any of them tbh.

Hamza got found out tonight - I’ve never quite got the hype. Fleur absolutely brought her A game but want Helen to run as a non-dancer is what Strictly is all about

Fleur was awful. Far too aggressive and stompy for me. Pop star does pop dance routine, nothing strictly about it.

Dreadful. I loved Molly and Hamza though and thought Helen was fab. Difficult to choose between the three of them.

I'm Peter Purvis , John Noakes and Valerie Singleton vintage!

It was Gethin for me. I still think he's very handsome, I think I saw him at an impressionable age!

If Hamza wins I fear he may end up being a pointless answer on future Pointlesses....

I saw Kym earlier.

He was in rehearsals with the rest of the gang this week, but I wouldn't be surprised if it their group dance was prerecorded yesterday... I can't see how they wound have fit it in today

I've really missed the ballroom tonight.

Hamzas week one foxtrot is my favourite dance of all time. I had no idea who he was and he just brought so much joy with that dance. I wish he'd done it tonight.

Think I’m Peter Duncan-era BP

Valerie Singleton and Christopher 🤔
