KEEP DANCING

Yes true but the judges definitely over mark him I think

I was voting for Jamie at least one vote each week, which will now be going to JB and Tasha.

And he won't.
On Dave Thorp's poll Chris is consistently the highest scorer. Every single week.

I just think Montell is not a well known enough celeb to have a big fan vote that's all

Pete is popular with a specific demographic

Chris is still getting votes even though he's plateaued a bit because fundamentally he is doing very well for someone at a monumental disadvantage

Maybe the judges are actually judging the dancing?

Yes I know that's their job but let's be honest, the best dancer rarely ever wins. Why keep people the public aren't bothered about for weeks and weeks, especially as Montell has 0 chance of winning it. Surely it's better to keep people the public want to see.

The judges have too much power and it should be like the old days when the couple that came bottom of the combined judges and public vote is eliminated. With the dance off it means unpopular but technically good people are kept week after week and it gets boring and predictable.

A very accurate summation.

JB for the win for me!

I voted for him, he’s funny (I know it’s a dance comp though🤣) & is dancing blind! That’s extremely talented to be able to do it! Plus he’s lovely & humble imo.

I want Pete to leave but he’s obviously getting votes.

Now we're down to 6 contestants, which means it's Poll Time!!

I'm not sure that there's a lot of uncertainty this year, but it'll be interesting to see how MN opinion goes. Please do go and vote.

Ellie absolutely obliterated the competition in my MN polls last year from week 10 onwards.

JB is also lovely & very good.

I would end the Dance Off as a thing if it were up to me. Bottom vote goes even if it makes for Shock Exits

I thought that was such a weird OTT remark - I can understand her having PTSD from the Lindyhop disaster back in 2017/18?? But last night was not remarkable!

I think it could be Montell and Sarah in the DO next week.

Don't suggest that to the BBC.

There wouldn't be a show in Sunday.............

No, it was shite.
🤣🤣🤣

They managed without a dance-off for four series and still had a results show.

It's a shame Mack and Mabel isn't more well known as a musical (aside from the Torvill and Dean routine). It has so many good songs that would work for ballroom or Charlestons.

Surely if Pete is getting masses of votes there is every chance he will win?

I think Jamie could have turned it around if he had been saved - JB was in the dance off weeks ago and has greatly improved since then. Being in the dance off once can be a blip and the celeb comes back with a bang, winning more public support as a result.

But after 3 dance offs we know that isn't going to happen now with Montell. She's a good dancer but she has no chance of winning - however I wouldn't be surprised if the judges carry her to the final. The judges will save her over Pete, Chris and possibly JB. She would have to be against Sarah or Tasha to be sent home.

Agree.I think Montell staying in puts Sarah at risk.

Watching the results show late. What is this musical "sex"? At least I've heard of Mary Poppins. If I had a choice I'd go for an old musical. Wicked I've heard of but that's about it

This is what I am now predicting. I'm quite excited to see if I'm right or wrong

There's no evidence that Pete is getting more votes than Chris.

I strongly suspect that Chris is shipping in votes by the tonne, but because he's not normally bottom of the leaderboard it's not as obvious. Even my DPILs who pay no attention to Strictly at all are rooting for him.

It's 'Six'

@2Rebecca

It's SIX

The Wives Of Henry VIII

@StarDolphins

Yes I know and he has done really well, he is lovely but it is frustrating when better dancers are eliminated
