I’m finding all the dragging out of dead relatives tedious now.
Too X factor.

You will be sulking!

Balvinder with one each for Alex and Karen based on Balvinder being most at risk. If she is in the DO she is toast.

Performed well, but still the weakest dancer, and not brilliant dancing.

Off to vote.

Chris is so lucky to have had such a lovely dad.

Ffs Shirley and Anton. Knobheads

9 ffs

Ugh.

I would get started on the sulking now then because there’s no chance!

I don’t know if anyone watches it takes two but alijaz and chris were talking this week about how technically challenging it is for them both switching from rehearsals to live performances due to the difference between Chris and la voix - it’s a change in body shape & size which changes everything like frame, balance, centre of gravity ….

they both have to try to navigate that and so no… it’s never gonna be technically perfect to be fair.

9s? Really?

Yep poor Balvinder been stitched up from the get go

He is. It's tough for so many gay people still.

How can Shirley and Anton give the same mark they gave to Lewis? 🙄

Probably @Holluschickie I can hope!

Nikita must have felt the chill

I liked the La Voix story, about growing up in an old people’s home and so on… until he started talking about his Mum.

Alex 3, George 2 from me

I like La Voix's speech there about the tough times . There was no 'blubbing'. I thought that was dignified and heartfelt. His mum only died six months ago. I agree that sometimes dead nan stories are a bit much but I think people should be able to talk about what drives them. And clearly his parents were a big part of his support network throughout his life.

Have we had any dead relatives from Karen?…yet?

@RainbowSnake I can live in hope. I was bang on the money with Ellie and people told me it wasn’t possible

it is ridiculous
Feel sorry for Balvinder . Always bloody under marked

unless the others pull their socks up out of the blue, i've a feeling Lewis will take it this year.

I know he's a ringer, but no-one else is even close, or even looking close.

Madness!
