Chris x 3

Do you think they put Tess back in the storage cupboard when the show ends, ready for next week?

How come they say to Sarah your jive wasn’t quite soft enough for a jive. So a jive must have a certain style. Yet the AT well Pete, it doesn’t have to contain the basic steps?
Not on.
The AT was originally danced by 2 men so would be nothing like Pete’s AT.

Spot on. The judges comments are ridiculous.

I've said before that Pete might do a Chris Hollins, but this really feels like his moment to go...? Its the Leaderboard Marks vs Votes Maths I can't work out.

Ive had posts deleted for less.

But yes she is dead behind the eyes, all she ever does is repeat back what people say to her. People say to her!

Back to terrifying phroggers on My5 for me :)

Jowita's not wrong that Pete's chronic lack of rhythm has been a massive handicap for her (and him I guess) to overcome. I don't think that anyone so lacking in musicality has got this far since Christopher Parker.

Credit to Jowita for giving him some substance to get this far.

The June comment from Anton made me laugh.

I think that Tess does a very good job of keeping things flowing and that she’s a good chalk-and-cheese partnership with Claudia.

I didn't enjoy Layton at all last year either @FagsMagsandBags

He was very arrogant, everything was sexualised and he seemed to be unable to take either instruction or criticism.

I think this is the toughest week to call.

Should they end up in the D/O I think both JB and Tasha would be safe. The others I just don't know.

Chalk and cheese?

By that do you mean personality and no personality?

Inkanta · 07/12/2024 20:22

That was a good show Everyone dancing their personal best.

The costumes were good too. Presumably simple for quick changes, but they were much nicer for that.

EvilRingahBitch · 07/12/2024 20:24

Having run all the permutations I think that if Sarah gets more votes than JB then Pete's in the DO, so I voted Sarahx3.

Not in the spirit of fluffy positive supportiveness I know.

awaynboilyurheid · 07/12/2024 20:25

Voted for Chris, Shirley has lost her mind over Pete it’s all a bit much.
I mean if anyone deserves the title MR Strictly it’s Chris overcoming so much to dance and dance well.
Loved JB and the wonderful Lauren’s paso it was dance of the series for me , if they win I wouldn’t mind.

I might have done the same if I was able to run the numbers😂

Sunbird24 · 07/12/2024 20:26

If the steps aren’t what matters when judging a dance, but rather the feeling, I did cracking salsa, jive and charlestons at my works do last night…

SueFielding · 07/12/2024 20:27

Pick your pity wisely.

Chris - Blind
Tasha - Deaf
Sarah - Old
Pete - Tone Deaf
JB - mid competition partner change and snooping wife

MassiveOvaryaction · 07/12/2024 20:27

Do they publish the actual numbers of the public vote? Only I'm a little bit really very cynical and think that perhaps what we actually vote doesn't really matter at all and it's the producers that decide..

xsquared · 07/12/2024 20:28

No ties this week, so Pete gets 1 for being bottom if the leaderboard.

If he is the second most popular, then he gets 5 in total.

Let's assume Chris is most popular, so he will get 7.

If JB has the least votes, he could still end up in the dance off, but with Pete, if Tasha and Sarah get 6 in total.

I think it really could be Pete's last week if he isn't top in the public votes.

I sincerely hope so. If he's in the dance off anyone should beat him anyway.

ItsBehindYouSequinsAndStilettos · 07/12/2024 20:31

example?
JB 5 + 3 = 8
Tasha 4 + 1 = 5
Sarah 3 + 2 = 5
Chris 2 + 5 = 7
Pete 1 + 4 = 5

This would mean Tasha vs Sarah
If Sarah's vote beat JB Tasha vs Pete
People are talking about vote being rigged but let's face it, only JB has a chance of beating Tasha.

NetZeroZealot · 07/12/2024 20:32

I want Pete and his horrid greasy tatttoos to piss off now
