I thought I'd take inspiration from Shirley's word of the week. We're down to the last few pages of #7 and I had some spare time so thought I'd get prepared.

Voted for Ellie, Bobby and Krishnan. I almost voted for Layton but I think he's bombproof in a dance off at this stage.

IMO Zara is the weakest.

Angela R, Krishnan, Ellie

Not very tactical, just my 3 fave

I've only seen clips so far but those would be my 3 too.

AhBiscuits · 21/10/2023 21:00

Ellie and Bobby for me 😍

IdaPrentice · 21/10/2023 21:01

I can't believe the judges gave Zara the same score as Angela S, how on earth was that fair?! I liked Zara's dance last week, but this one was awkward, no flow whatsoever.

Really didn't like Adam's couple's choice, very mediocre - the judges are a bit clueless about street dance (except maybe Craig).

Ellie was excellent.

I really REALLY hate the 'sad backstory' VTs.

EsmaCannonball · 21/10/2023 21:02

I've heard about those clubs in Cuba where they have a floorshow, and if Motsi wants to take Layton and Nikita and put them in one then someone needs to report her to the Metropolitan Police.

Is there a man who could wear electric blue foil-effect pleather and still look good? Yes, there is. I did feel a bit sorry for Vito when they accidentally electrified the banisters on him.

Talking of electric shock therapy, up in the Clauditorium Adam was dressed like they'd planned a One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest dance for Movie Week, come to their senses about it but didn't like wasting a costume.

I'm off to rummage through my drawers because I think Bobby was in my John Lewis pyjamas. He does have a really natural quality when he dances.

I do like Angela Scanlon but I haven't connected with any of her dances, partly, I think, because of the music and partly because you can see the effort.

Remember when they cut to Nadiya's mum in the audience and her face spoke for every Strictly viewer ever? I reckon Krishnan's dog is the new Nadiya's mum. That side-eye. They should have sat him between Shirley and Motsi and let his face sum up every dance.

Oh dear, that move at the beginning of Zara's dance, where Graziano put his jacket around her shoulders and she sort of clutched her stomach and jiggled about a bit, just looked like she was going to have to send him to the all-night pharmacy in search of some Feminax. Romance of a kind, I guess? I did appreciate Graziano looking like a pirate in a Tyrone Power film, though.

Loved Angela and Kai again. She gave it that earthy and yet aloof vibe that Flavia Cacace used to have. She just gets the feel of every dance.

I think Eddie is, sadly, a lost cause so I gave all my votes to Annabel. I don't think she deserved to be so low on the leaderboard. How often on Strictly do you get to see a Charleston performed by someone who could actually be a cousin of Bertie Wooster?

I think the finalists will be:
Layton
Ellie
Nigel
Amanda ( assuming her medical conditions don't get in the way).
Krishnan/Bobby dark horses who could take out one of the others.

Krishnan is a cert for the final Id have thought, he's along the same vein as Bill Bailey and Hamza. Starting off fairly weak, continuously improving and just totally loving it.

@cordelia16
Why does it seem so much longer ago than last year?!

I know... it really does!!

Was it really the same score? Gosh that does seem unfair.. they weren't on the same level at all surely?

Lentilweaver · 21/10/2023 21:08

Krishnan has the jive, samba and salsa to do yet, so those may trip him up. Though I hope not.

GrouchyKiwi · 21/10/2023 21:09

Heh, soz, wrong thread. You don't want my rugby chat here. Grin

Maireas · 21/10/2023 21:10

I don't think Krishnan is anywhere near as good as Hamza or Bill Bailey. They had so much more musicality. Krishnan is having a great time, but will struggle to get much further.

FitYeDaeinYeMadRadge · 21/10/2023 21:10

Thank you @lollipoprainbow

she looks beautiful silver. I thought I knew her face

CrushingOnRubies · 21/10/2023 20:56

Aston Merrygold and Tyler West both had eliminations the week they wore an Afro wig. Can't remember if there was another one.

Didn't Dev wear an Afro wig when he was kicked off.

He's the one I initially thought I was missing, but I looked at the pics of his elimination, and he had sort of a big upsweep bun rather than a full wig like Aston, Tyler, and Layton. So it was Afro wig adjacent :)

MrsJamin · 21/10/2023 21:12

Eddie and Zara in the bottom two this week, I think.

LuckySantangelo35 · 21/10/2023 21:16

I think it’s Zara time to go

HeadAgainstWall0923 · 21/10/2023 21:22

How amazing does Jowita look in the Clauditorium!!

ilovebrie8 · 21/10/2023 21:23

Hope Eddie avoids the dance off ! Should be Zara as she is so stiff …

TheMadGardener · 21/10/2023 21:26

Eddie and Zara should be the bottom two, and I reckon whichever of them survives this week will probably go next week.

Ellie and Vito are my favourites. Thought they were robbed of the top of the leaderboard. Vito is pure joy. I can see them doing that paso again in the final as a favourite choice.

I'm loving Krishnan's journey. He is living his best life. Gave them 2 votes this week. If you haven't seen Lauren's Instagram it's great, she does games with the pros and there's a lovely video of her singing with Krishnan playing the guitar. I hope they stay in for a long time.

I'm also liking the lovely relationship of Annabel and Johannes and hope they don't go home too soon.

Layton leaves me cold. He'll get to the final due to judges but won't get the public vote to win I think. The public likes a journey. Adam does nothing for me. Luba looks like she's just going through the motions but not really enjoying herself. Bobby seems to have loads of fans but I'm not finding his dances very exciting, they leave me a bit flat.

Angela R will probably get to Blackpool but will come unstuck when they only have fast dances left to do. I love Kai though. My second favourite pro after Vito.

Katya seems to be really enjoying having a decent celeb with Nigel and not someone hopeless she has to do only comedy routines with.

BogRollBOGOF · 21/10/2023 21:31

Voted Krishnan, Annabelle and Angela S. Angela S and Annabelle were on the harsh end of voting compared to some of the others. Krishnan is in the lower half of the top, and he's got the joy factor.

For me, there's no clear contender for the end of the line this week, but Adam, Eddie and Zara are all around the same zone. Adam's had the judges boost though so probably not him this week.

Gooseysgirl · 21/10/2023 21:50

I enjoy watching Layton and agree he'll make the final. But I won't ever vote for him and I doubt he will win, waaaayyy too much of a ringer

EvilRingahBitch · 21/10/2023 21:55

MeinKraft · 21/10/2023 21:04

I love Krishnan and he's improving solidly, but I don't see him as a finalist. I think he'll peak around Blackpool like Ed Balls or Susan Calman. I'd be happy to be proved wrong though.

Butteredtoast55 · 21/10/2023 21:56

And if Layton is ever up in the dance off and gets put through over someone like Ellie then he's certainly not going to win.

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 21/10/2023 22:00

Interesting show tonight! The best dance for me was Ellie and Vito. I love Krishnan, he has such obvious joy in being there.
I voted for Ellie, Krishnan and Angela R.

Can you imagine the outrage if this ever happened?

I wonder if actually the judges would do the right thing and send Layton home?

Lottapianos · 21/10/2023 22:24

'Krishnan is having a great time, but will struggle to get much further.'

I absolutely love him, he's great to watch, but he's really pretty ropey and I don't see him improving

I agree with Eddie and Zara for dance off. I hope that Eddie goes, for Karen's sake. She looks absolutely DONE with this series and clearly has other things on her mind

Cried at Ellie's paso. It was either going to be magnificent or a total embarrassment with that music, and they just nailed it.

First time I've properly enjoyed watching Layton dance. Fabulous
