KEEP DANCING

Me too.

I voted for Lewis and Balvinder.

Another one who is pissed off that we won’t get to see Lewis and Katya’s showdance.

The final is going to be a real let down now.

I'm gutted. Definitely not overly fussed on watching the next couple of shows now. (And I voted for Lewis flat out BTW)

I said weeks ago Karen would win. I definitely think she will now, and we'll deserved.

I’d prefer George to win over Karen tbh, she is too one sided.

This has to be one of the most rubbish eliminations of strictly, total nonsense for him not to be in the final.

Honestly don’t think I can watch it next week tonight just makes a mockery - Amber and Lewis are by far the two best dancers in the show, the choice of music last night and choreography was terrible for both Karen's dance and Lewis’s dance - manipulation by the powers that be

He got all my votes as he is such an exciting dancer.

Jeeze, if George wins there will need to be an inquiry on the voting akin to Eurovision and Israel nearly winning. Presumably his YouTube followers don't actually watch Strictly?

For fuck's sake ☹️
Don't think I'll bother to watch the rest

She might not be too bothered, getting publicity all the way to the final

He’s had a good kick up his career though. Not bad going. And I think the people left in will be more competition for each other, Amber aside.
Bal, George and Karen all have challenges and will be less predictable than Lewis, Amber and two not so great. And if the non ringer wins despite two professional dancers, well it won’t be about the dancing.

So I’m not sad. I think it will be good. And George is still in!

It’s hardly “manipulation” - wasn’t Karen bottom of the leaderboard? She’s clearly popular with the public.

The final is now going to be, Karen will do her stiff as a pole twirls and Balvinder will be boring and Georges partner will do all the dancing while George looks on baffled and Amber will do her day job.
Gutted

😂

Devastated- voted for Lewis every week. Should've been Karen and George in the dance off. So disappointing.

I can't even comment on that. Amber should not be in this show

Not only can I remember all his dances, but I watch them back weekly. I think George is doing fantastically well given he is a beginner, and I think he has improved so much over the weeks. I find him a joy to watch.

It all seemed very manipulated to keep Bal in. All the gushing about her having a hard time being in the DO so many times seems to have worked.

She should have gone weeks ago.

On the spoiler thread one poster said her young DD votes for George but never watches Strictly.

As others have said, I'm struggling to remember any of George's dances - apart from the thingy last week when he ripped his coat off and started laughing half-way through!

Yes I've seen stuff saying that George is destined to win with the new voting system being so easy for his millions of followers to click a button 5 times with zero interest in the show. Anyway we will soon see

I asked my students about him. They've never heard of him...

The guy on Traitors, yes. The ones on I'm A celebrity, yes. George, no. Weird.

If George were to win I would find it the most nonplussing win ever. Even when I haven't agreed with some of the winners before I could at least see why the public had appreciated their time on the show and that they had done some memorable routines. George seems OK and he has done some nice routines but a win for him would be all about a pre-existing fan base, rendering everything that actually happened on Strictly completely pointless. I wouldn't like that precedent.
