KEEP DANCING

Use this thread when the other is full, thanks!

I agree with you.
I was trying to make a joke, that obviously didn't land 🤦.

@pizzaHeart did you miss the "my contestants" and her comment to lewis about him being her faN?

I actually feel quite upset, really. It's such a small thing. I remember Dr Ranj introducing Makaton, which was lovely. I like the way some of them flutter wave instead of applauding as well.
Having Ellie, Chris McCausland, Rose, Katie Piper, and various para athletes has enhanced this show so much and is one of it's absolute strengths.

I assumed she meant he’d been very welcoming to her as a late starter on the show.

💯agree with you.
I'm racking my brains to think why people would find someone touching their chin with their fingers annoying but it's beyond me. It doesn't interrupt or impact the flow of the show in any way at all and is no different to people doing the ❤️with their hands. Which nobody seems to have a problem with.

What was the "my contestants" thing?

The “my contestants” was surely just a slip of the tongue though? In the moment, talking rapidly, she surely meant to say “my…” what? Colleagues? Fellow contestants? The other dancers? And she might’ve meant Lewis was her biggest supporter, which he probably was, coming from a similar camp; dancing background, massive ringer etc.

I’m not an Amber fan, but I think she’s all right, not as up herself as some seem to think.

She meant he was supportive and "her fan" are you being deliberately obtuse or did you genuinely not understand her tone.

Nikita is very obviously delighted with Amber as a partner!

Yeah she corrected herself, they are excited and hyped up after the dance and sometimes trip over words, I do think some posters are looking for things that are not there about Amber.

I've noticed that when there is anyone of Amber and Lewis' calibre of dancing on the show. They can't attack their dancing so they call them fake, cocky, faux modesty, humble brag etc. That happened to Alexandra Burke, and this year Lewis and Amber.

Ah! Must have missed that! That explains why she’s done better at Strictly than any other professional footballer who’s taken part.
Dancing was not part of her job though, unlike Amber. I have nothing against Amber, as I said previously I think she and Lewis were both amazing to watch.

Next time the judges throw shade at the public for who ends up in the dance off, someone should remind them of the time they gave Balvinder and George the same scores as Lewis...

I’m not sure I can be bothered watching now, the remaining contestants are just a bit…dull. Lewis may have been a ringer, but at least he had a bit of personality.

Contestant on I’m a Celeb, actual name Morgan, social media handle, Angry Ginge

I was surprised because I could've sworn that people like Robbie Savage, John Barnes and Alex Scott also reached the semi finals. Maybe it was the quarters instead.

Equally it's not hard to be the most successful footballing contestant when your competitors include the likes of Tony Adams, Paul Merson and Peter Schmeichel 😄.

They always get a bit arsey when the great unwashed have a different opinion to them! 😄

The judges really after all these years don’t understand voter logic

No, they really don't....

I agree. I don’t actually care who wins now. I like Bal a lot and would like to see her win because for me she has had the bigger “journey”, but I don’t think she will and it will just be predictably Amber now or possibly Karen, and I just find them both meh to watch, although they are both obviously technically very good.

I think it will be George because of his huge SM support. Even when he performed lack lustre dances and scored badly, he wasn't in the DO.

I doubt Amber will win, because of what happened this week.

I stopped liking her the week she did Ariana Grande and was acting like she really thought she was Ariana Grande. She seemed so full of herself and if I remember correctly she was in the dance off that week, so others must have seen it too. I hope you are right and she doesn’t win.

My mate has a rule where she will only vote for people she’s heard of prior to the competition or someone whose fame credentials are obvious. Are they properly famous basically. Not anyone you’d have to google to find out such as George. She voted for Balvinder 5 x on Saturday

The fact that, as pp said, she's finished a run in the Great Gatsby musical, where she did the Charleston every night, has probably made people hesitant about voting for her.
