aww it's a shame A&C went I really liked them.

, i was disappointed in Dianne shrieking that they got through with"Dead mum" dance

not a bit of decorum just a bit of woohooing! even Bobby hadn't a clue what the dance was about, he said I think I was meant to be dancing with my mum!

which ever producer who came up with dead mum dance should be ashamed !

Dianne is really annoying me this series and I am not keen on Bobby. Hope they go next week.

Iverymuchdoubtitdarling · 27/11/2023 08:55

I agree@Mrsjayy just not suitable for a dance on Strictly. I remember my daughter saying (aged about 8) “ I didn’t know mums could die”.
SCD is happy time! Let’s keep
it that way.

Mrsjayy · 27/11/2023 08:58

it just really irked me and the wooping dear god! least Annabel and Johannes were classier when they got through on her CC.

lollipoprainbow · 27/11/2023 09:04

She's always irritated me even more so this series !

Mrsjayy · 27/11/2023 09:27

I don't mind her at all she is excitable but she was totally inappropriate on the results show a bit of respect goes a long way.

Iverymuchdoubtitdarling · 27/11/2023 09:33

Dianne is a terrific dancer! I’ve seen her live many times. She’s always very generous with the fans too.

awaynboilyurheid · 27/11/2023 09:39

sequins WOW wish mumsnet had a "we are not worthy hands emoji "amazing statistics there. Thank you

LillianGish · 27/11/2023 11:46

Barefoot wafting is the best description ever so thank you to whoever first coined it. It perfectly encapsulates a style of dance which really has no place in the ballroom.

Choux · 27/11/2023 12:22

I think the producers / judges have decided the final needs to be:

Only one ringer - so Layton at the expense of semi ringer Nigel
One young contestant - Ellie is outperforming Bobby so she is in.
Either an older contestant or a total novice - Annabelle fulfils both more than Angela so she was out.

So it's going to be a Layton, Ellie, Annabelle final.

Choux · 27/11/2023 12:23

So expect unexpectedly, unjustifiable high marks for Annabelle for the next two weeks.

Houseplanter · 27/11/2023 12:30

If I put aside my thoughts on ringers I do think the best dancers are left. I can't think of anyone that was a shock exit (I'm sure someone will think differently).

For me, Nigel should go next. Apart from the fact I don't warm to him (slimey) his dancing doesn't impress me and he hasn't made the progress Annabelle has.

She is a great dancer, I just don’t think that her choreography is great. There is always something slightly amiss

There was no way Annabel's Paso deserved a 10.
She was ungainly in places and you can see Jojo still counting her in.

I suspect you're right about the final 3. Layton and Ellie are pretty much guaranteed.

Annabel has been pushed as the journey contestant so I wouldn't be surprised if she's in the final.

I agree Bobby would’ve gone if he hadn’t pulled the dead mum card but maybe he knew that. Really wish Layton had gone, it’s going to be such a bad final if he wins, social media will paste him.

@Girlontherailreplacementbusservice i did like the barefoot wafting Rose did when they danced in silence for part of it. Other than that I agree, too arty farty.

I would have loved the impact of the silent section of Rose's dance to have been something that was held back for the final. It would have been brilliant as part of a show dance.

I agree that she dances well but I always think her choreography runs out of steam as the weeks pass.

I feel like the producers want rid of Nigel, the judges comments have been harsh and picky, and his scores less than some other worse dancers.
I hope the public keep voting for him and shove their favouritism back up their arses!

Show quote history

I am definitely not one for conspiracy theories, but I cant help but think that's what it looks like.

The "too many mistakes" started in week 2 after they did their Vienese Waltz which I loved, and they kept bringing it up in weeks even when he didn't make mistakes.

The scores do not match the scores they gave him on Saturday as he only got 2 points more than his QS.

Nigel and Katya haven't done any daytime TV appearances or magazine interviews either, whereas the other 2 sure finalists have done quite a bit.

I'm not bothered who wins at this stage, but the manipulation by production this year has put me off Strictly.

Marshtit · 27/11/2023 15:37

i dont think Nigel is very much a ringer

xsquared · 27/11/2023 15:46

He's performed in musicals which many people confuse with being able to dance.

I don't know how much dancing there is in the musicals he has performed in, but I doubt performing on your knees as Lord Farquad is going to give you an advantage over those who have no dance experience!

Marshtit · 27/11/2023 15:51

exactly @xsquared

and he wont win either as he is not good enough, although he is popular

Butteredtoast55 · 27/11/2023 16:04

@EvilRingahBitch Oh yes please, any excuse to see just a snippet of that production. It's incredible!

Samcro · 27/11/2023 16:14

i like nigel, prefer him to bobby. it might be as I watched EE when he was in it. (love his neighbours stories) never seen Bobby do anything.

love Carlos , he is so funny

Ellie is the clear winner imo.

However, not being good enough has never stopped people voting just for who they like best.

I personally didn't rate Hamza last year as the winner as the other 3 were miles better than him dance wise.

Flyawaybirdfly · 27/11/2023 16:52

My favourite winner was the ringer that was Tom Chambers. apparently he learnt himself to tap dance. Still watch is show dance on YouTube.
I’m sure that was the year the judges wanted Lisa Snowden to win. Was watching one of her dancers on YouTube and she was a bit too tall for Brendan. Plus she was wearing a tiny leotard with trim. Amazing legs.
