Strictly 2025 : Build Up To The Final

[EineReiseDurchDieZeit]

KEEP DANCING

Oh course yes! It wouldn’t be live on Xmas day 😂

I'd be mixed about that I think . Whilst I thought them ok , the jokey demeanor wore a big thin at times .
I've heard the possibility of Holly Willowby and that name is a big no no for me , I'd much rather La Voix over her !

Rylan would be OK and I'm also surprised he's never danced .
Zoe Ball would be good .

La Voix isn’t anywhere near high profile enough

With regard to Rylan not dancing @HollyChristmas I watched his Grand Tour with Rinder and he has stage fright from his time on X Factor

La voix presented morning live yesterday wasn't the worst. I do think Chris is looking for an im to Tv work which i don't mind.

But maybe not Strictly,

I have a recollection that Rylan felt he was too tall to be a Strictly contestant. I liked him on ITT.

Yeah even when he did choreography corner he said he felt awkward.

I wonder if we'll ever see Tess and Claudia as contestants

OMG no. They're shocking dancers.

Tess in particular. When the judges do their entry dance each week, Tess behind them has no rhythm whatsoever, she doesn't even clap in time.

They are truly terrible they barely manage the "keep dancing"😀

😂
But maybe then we'll see their journeys...

I would pair Tess with Kai
Claud has to be with Vito!

Not high-profile enough, and not experienced enough for a flagship live show. Making the odd cued-in witty comment is really not the same as keeping Strictly running while dealing with a crowd in the Clauditorium/the judges and performing couple, with people yelling in your ear and the autocue going.

Rylan has blotted his copybook, hasn’t he, with his rant about immigrants?

I’d love to see Zoe Ball and Ian Waite. Zoe did ITT for ages and knows the ropes, plus of course stood in for Claudia. Ian is likeable and will have a rapport with both pros and celebs, and he and Zoe are a natural double-act.

I'll vote for whoever takes part in the arena live shows.

I would never watch again if a man dressed as a woman was the host.

La Voix is only ever capable of making things about himself. He'd be a terrible presenter.

Also, he has a singing career which would be hard to carry on with if he was doing Strictly every week.

Rylan has blotted his copybook, hasn’t he, with his rant about immigrants?

Yes indeed. He's another presenter which would lose me as a Strictly viewer, for that reason.

It has been so dull this year that after decades of viewing I’m not sure I will bother watching the final.
The constant ringers, the “comedy” vt links, the increasing theme weeks, the squeezing out performative emotion with family and finally the insertion of a bloke in a frock being referred to as “she” has ruined Strictly for me.
I think I’m done.

Of the finalists, that's just George.

Without Lewis and George, the tour line up would only have featured contestants who were eliminated before Blackpool. Unless you count La Voix as technically she withdrew.

People pay a lot of money to see the live shows. If the contestants cannot commit to them people should be told in advance.

Unless you count La Voix as technically she withdrew

La Voix is a man.

Stop! You are like a dog with a bone.

Well they are it is usually advertised who is going,

Just ignore it,

Ohhh, Aljiaz on ITT today reminiscing about his favourite dances and time on Strictly. He’s fab. Lucky Janette.
