I think the Angelas and Annabel might be in trouble this week.

Votes to Sangela, Annabel and Krishnan.

Krishnan was objectively the weakest, but I'm still enjoying watching him perform and enjoying his enjoyment.
Angela S could slip on voting despite a stronger week. She's still progressing well. As is Annabel.

TBH it seems pretty open to me. Judges' voting is an unfair advantage to Angela R. Krishnan still has a popular number of votes. Layton and Ellie should be safe on scores and voting and the rest looks pretty open for DO territory risk.

It's been a strong week on performance, singing and trousers.

crumblingschools · 11/11/2023 19:37

Need more than 3 votes!

WatchOutMissMarpleIsAbout · 11/11/2023 19:33

Are the votes independently verified I wonder?

That's such a good point, how would anybody know if the producers are making it up. The voting stats are never revealed

Samcro · 11/11/2023 19:39

Voted Krishnan, Angela s and Nigel
loved Leytons 🕺 dance

Aquarius1234 · 11/11/2023 19:39

Bobby makes me uncomfortable. Eeeek

Objectively on dance alone the bottom two should be AngelaR and Krishnan but I enjoy him so much I've chucked him all my votes to try to save him.

Bluffinwithmymuffin · 11/11/2023 19:43

SAngela
Bobby
Annabel

RAngela and Krishnan bottom 2, Krishnan to go.

SaraBarca1 · 11/11/2023 19:44

I think Layton and Nikita have more sexual chemistry than John and Johannes - who had more of a married couple type of vibe, where Layton and Nikita have more sizzle

I think Krish might go (sob)

MeinKraft · 11/11/2023 19:45

1 for Anglela S and 2 for Krishnan. I find myself in the very unusual (for me) position of liking all of them!

Definitely Nikita is not afraid to go there

I absolutely love Johannes and I think Nikita's come into his own massively this year. To be fair I'm probably watching them more than their partners but there's something so visceral about men dancing together well. Giovanni and Richie showed that it doesn't always work though!

I read something dodgy about Bobby's Dad a few weeks back. Not such a nice guy.

Go on..?

Lentilweaver · 11/11/2023 19:51

I wish Krishnan hadnt got the samba this week. With any other dance, he might have squeaked through to Blackpool. Though I think he has used up all his easy dances.

MavisMcMinty · 11/11/2023 19:51

I voted for Ellie, Angela S and Nigel - all in the top half of the leaderboard but that’s not a safe place to be at this stage of the series.

Krish should be in the bottom two but has two points rather than one for being at the bottom of the board (as there were two on the same score above him), and going by the number on here who voted for him, and being saved by the public last week, it won’t be him in the dance-off. If he is, he’s toast, obviously.

Also going by the posters here, despite his being top of the leaderboard if nobody votes for Layton he could be in the bottom two.

I fear for Annabel and think if she’s up against Angela R they’ll keep AR and send Annabel home. It’s all about the Let’s Face the Music Blackpool showstopper next week for - gasp! - the former presenter now competing, how amazing is that?!?! etc.

Yeah I think it will be him against Angela Rippon and they'll probably save her.

EsmaCannonball · 11/11/2023 19:51

Briefly thought that when Angela said she would show Kai how she stays energised she was taking him down an alley to visit Ryan, her amphetamine dealer.

I know she's not popular on here but, come on, when most VT's are 'Here's my pro having dinner with my family/Here's my little nephew visiting the training room/Here's me visiting my old school,' how can you not get behind a septuagenarian who gets cryogenically frozen for fun and then on the dancefloor pendulums between prim finishing school headmistress and Mad Max Thunderdome dominatrix? When she gets defrosted in 2276, will she vow to win that year's series of Strictly Come Dancing or will she hunt down the descendants of the winner of this year's?

Kai looked like a space captain from a 1960's American sci-fi series. Hope his nethers haven't been adversely affected by that blast chiller.

Nikita in a bandana = one of the Coreys from The Lost Boys. Nikita in a double-breasted suit = Douglas Fairbanks Jr. in Little Caesar.

Annabel gives me immense nostalgia for the 1980's, so I was delighted that she was dressed like a woman from a Ferrero Rocher advert. Love Krishnan, but she definitely won the battle of the sambas.

If Vito wants to conduct more experiments into blindfolding women and getting them to feel his body weight, I've got an old pair of 80 denier tights and can free up time between now and, let's say, 2060.

As a massive fan of Tenko, I was a bit delighted to discover that one of Nigel's childhood roles was a brief appearance in one of the episodes. That dance, however. Danny Mac's Gene Kelly-esque American Smooth is my favourite Strictly ballroom routine of all time. Nigel was a good 35 years too old for that niminy-piminy choreography. It just wasn't manly enough to bring out the best in him. It didn't help that wardrobe had put him an outfit that said more 'shelf-stacker' than 'An American In Paris.'

Bobby looked like the curly-headed son from Butterflies.

Bluffinwithmymuffin · 11/11/2023 19:52

covetingthepreciousthings · 11/11/2023 19:33

If there were a shock dance off do we think Bobby could be in trouble?

I wondered that. I hope not.

What are the chances - just read this comment while watching Dolly Parton singing that very song... 😲

PastorCarrBonarra · 11/11/2023 19:56

I really cannot predict this DO. I’d be shocked if Ellie got the red light but other than that, I don’t know.

covetingthepreciousthings · 11/11/2023 19:56

I voted for Angela S & Layton

BeBraveLittlePenguin · 11/11/2023 19:57

QueenOfThorns · 11/11/2023 19:35

I didn’t really like J&J, but their Pirates of the Caribbean paso is one of my all time favourite strictly dances.

DD’s vote went to Annabel again and I gave the remaining 2 to KGM because I’m assuming that Ellie is safe.

I've watched that dance more than any other.
Danny's samba a close second.

Can't imagine I'll be watching any of this series 2 years from now.

belgiumchocolates · 11/11/2023 19:57

cordelia16 · 11/11/2023 19:10

it's the space between their torsos while dancing in hold. you're not supposed to be able to see any gaps/spaces between them.

Thank you @cordelia16

Bluffinwithmymuffin · 11/11/2023 20:00

Forgot all about Nigel... too late now, but hope he goes through.
