The Strictly Come Dancing Spoilers Thread 2024

[EineReiseDurchDieZeit]

For the purpose of discussing leaked partnerships prior to air and as a place to discuss results prior to air.

KEEP DANCING!

Ha!
I'm trying to think of anyone I've had a real aversion to.
Even Jason's earnestness/monologues ended up cracking me up (no doubt due to Monksealisms at the time).

Now that you mention it I remember something to that effect

Pleased about that.

JB to win for me, but I don't expect that to happen.

I'm glad Chris is through to the final. He and Diane have worked so hard. But I don't think they should win because they're not the best.

JB won me over last night. I still want Chris to win though, purely because what he and Dianne have achieved is simply phenomenal. JB for second please, followed by Sarah and Tasha (not that we know placing below 1st!).

He also amusingly acknowledged that while he'd won the strictly glitterball, ten years on Ricky was in Hollywood headlining a huge Amazon Prime show while Chris was still presenting segments about mead-making in Pembrokeshire on the One Show.

I agree. Immense achievement, but he’s not the best dancer in a dancing competition.

No, the ringer is. So she shouldn't win!

What do you mean by the ringer?

The one who's already a dancer.

Oh yes.

Both Sarah and Tasha are trained dancers 😶.

'Sarah has been a long-time fan of Strictly but had reservations about signing on in the past. In 2019, her famous pal, Alex Kingston said: "Sarah Hadland and I talked about how much we'd like to do Strictly Come Dancing.
"Then I discovered that she's actually a trained ballet dancer. Hang on a minute! That's not fair!' So, I can't do it on a season when she is on it!" the TV star joked. By the time Sarah turned 19, she'd graduated from Laine Theatre Arts College in Epsom and was performing on London's West End. '

'Before she became a finalist on the 2022 season of Love Island, 26-year-old Ghouri trained as a dancer at Creative Academy in Slough and has since competed at major dance events. She specialises in commercial, which is a broader style of dance popularly seen in music videos or on stage at music tours'

JB danced with JLS of course, not quite the same thing as 👆.

Did Claudia say Jamie and Lauren instead of
JB?

Well I was sad to see Pete go and thought he came across like a very humble and nice person,he was clearly well liked by the cast.
He was the worst dancer left but so what! He entertained me and I thought his last two dances on the show where quite good.
Tasha and sarah both bore me a bit.
So whilst JB Is good I would prefer chris to win and part of that is for Diane.
(I remember watching something she was on-masterchef?? And she got upset to be voted off and said the same thing happens all the time to her on strictly)

I mostly don't really care about the celebs's personalities or whether they are nice/humble/anything ( in any case they all pretend for the camera). I mostly skip the VT's and I only care about the best technical dancer plus choreo. ( Though Krishnan won me over last year while not being great).

I don't think Chris is good enough to win, but of course he will. His achievement is phenomenal, I agree, but his dancing does not appeal to me.

It's not about the best / best technical dancer for me. It's about who's improved most from the start. I'm not a fan of whole / partial ringers!

Most people feel that way @NoWordForFluffy. 😊

I'd like JB to win but he won't. Loved his paso. I expect he will get the West End roles like Layton and Alexandra Burke though so that may be a consolation.

Does JB want a career boost and lead roles in West End Stage shows though? His day job is now a turkey farmer!

I always assume they all go on for the career boost - why else would they do it?

That's a contributing factor, but probably not the only reason. The answers from the first question tells you in their words.
