Am glad for Nikita that's he's in the final, he so deserved it.

Nooooooo Grin

I have no problem with same sex couples in Strictly. But if they have two men, they should also have two women. Otherwise it's just one less job for a woman. Grrr.

Her VW wasn’t worse than Bobby’s paso was it? Aren’t they in with a chance?

FitYeDaeinYeMadRadge · 10/12/2023 19:50

Layton and Nikita I just love.

Bobby too.

greencheetah · 10/12/2023 19:50

Bobby should be safe if he makes no mistakes. 😬

Ibizabar · 10/12/2023 19:50

I'm so happy Layton made the final.

Me too. Over the moon for him and Layton

pickledandpuzzled · 10/12/2023 19:51

To be fair part of Nikita’s job is to cover his partner’s weaknesses and show off their strengths!

chaosmaker · 10/12/2023 19:51

He does dance this beautifully :)

treacledan71 · 10/12/2023 19:51

Vito is such a nice man.

Simonjt · 10/12/2023 19:52

We’re very very pleased for Layton and Nikita here, but especially Nikita, he seems to have worked so well with all of his celeb pairings.

FitYeDaeinYeMadRadge · 10/12/2023 19:52

LOVED THIS!!!

the dress of my dreams

Jellykat · 10/12/2023 19:52

Aw Bobby enjoyed that more it seemed, as did i..

I'm conflicted. I love Nikita and he's excellent the last 2 years and it's great to see him dancing full tilt but I feel he's allowed Layton's talent to impact his choreography. Too many tricks and not enough work on synchronicity. That said, they are great to watch.

chaosmaker · 10/12/2023 19:53

I thought Nikita had a free ride this year

PastorCarrBonarra · 10/12/2023 19:53

It’s a fair DO I must say, although Bobby was my favourite this weekend (I’ve never voted for him before, I liked Amanda and Angela S before).

The DOs have been fair this season with the exception of the one that denied Krishnan a place at Blackpool (and in fairness he probably would’ve got the boot at Blackpool had he gone through so he only went a week early imo).

Dogcatmousedog · 10/12/2023 19:53

Surely that was good enough for Bobby

Nikita's a fantastic pro. He makes everything seem so comfortable for his celeb.

SequinsandStiIettos · 10/12/2023 19:53

They should also have two women.

Nicola Adams and Katya
Jayde Adams and Karen

They'd probably have had both female couple this year had a high profile lesbian been up for it. I'd love Sue Perkins to, but don't think she ever will.

greencheetah · 10/12/2023 19:53

He completely forgot about his bloody hands but that should secure his final place. Annabel isn’t in the same league.

MouseMinge · 10/12/2023 19:53

Why was everyone so worried from week one that Layton would be voted off despite it being obvious that it was never going to happen? There's never been a surer thing in the history of sure things. It would be like watching a biopic of Jesus and wondering if he ends up on a cross at the end, or Titanic and being shocked that the ship sinks. [/s]

I think it's one of the things that has made SCD less enjoyable for me this year and why I don't agree that the series would have been less without him. It's always been clear that he'd be in the final and the rest of it was just who would the other three be and then who would the other two be. To be fair to Layton the fact that I'm seriously ill might also have made me less than engaged with the show this year but I know other totally healthy people who've found it less enjoyable than usual this year, so I know it's not just me, but I also know that lots of people have loved it as well, so, you know, horses for courses and all that jazz.

I do like that the Glitter Ball Trophy is still 2004-circa naff! A disco ball with some plastic letters stuck on it, like the Blue Peter team knocked it up one Friday.
