Why wasn't he done up like Ms Bassey.

[joeysteele]

Interesting the 2 more slowest dances were in the bottom 2.

[joeysteele]

No surprise once I saw the dance off couples

I also knew once Sam was in the bottom 2, these biased judges would vote her out.
Probably neither this week should have been in the dance off.

Not a good night in my view.
Shirley certainly has something against Nikita though it seems to me.

[Holly Christmas]

Well I'm disgusted. I already knew the result because I've seen the spoiler but didn't want to give anything away. Terrible decision.

Firstly it was the wrong bottom two completely. Should have been Wynne the cheat and Pete who made a total ballsup of his performance.

Secondly Sam was better than Montell and should have been saved.

Waving sticks and operatic singing is clearly the requirements for getting support on this Show nowadays.

[Nicky91]

should've been Sam vs Pete dance off, and Sam would've easily been saved tbh


but the stupid horny housewife votes



MoJo were in the bottom 2, because many people probably thought they were as good as safe

and they danced it same quality as first time around so Sam stood no chance at all

[Nicky91]

Pete is on way overdue borrowed time now



as for Wynne, he danced a good rumba though, as for the operatic singing ending, well we're at that stage where most couples need to do something extra to give that additional oomph or wow factor


Sam played things way too safe, she could've done much more in terms of playing Taylor, for example a beginning with a guitar prop or something similar choreographed to something from Eras Tour, recreating the love story music video was way too basic, really shame on Nikita for not doing enough




MoJo cleverly used the high note in IWALY to their advantage for a fast spinning moment as well as Montell did great for a non-actress slaying the part of Whitney so incredibly well, i mean big boots to fill since everyone also knows the bodyguard musical versions across the world by now




JB needs to stick with Lauren hopefully, finally he ain't mediocre anymore

[Nicky91]

finalist material

Chris is obviously gonna be in the final, no matter if judges keep undermarking him lol


Tasha also a sure thing for the final i think


i also see finalist potential in MoJo still, voters just need to wake up and realize no one is safe


Jamie also is above the likes of JB, Shayne now so stands a good chance of being the 2nd man in the final


Sarah i see more semi finalist in at this moment, but honestly that also would be great considering she is 55, and she can keep up nicely with the youngsters



Wynne will leave at Blackpool i think, also he doesn't deserve to be called a cheat, stop with this senseless hate i like him, same amount as i liked Mark Benton, similarly a good trier what he is




Pete is hopefully a goner this upcoming week

[Nicky91]

all those trailer trash crisp eating fishwives who vote for Pete ******* Wicks

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

So excited for Jamie and Michelle Argentine tango!

[joeysteele]

It really is absolutely ridiculous on Strictly that the dance that puts you in the bottom 2 is the dance you are FORCED to do again.

A routine the judges have already commented on and voted on.
Then get to choose again.
Stark raving bonkers.

Even on Dancing on Ice with ice skates, the skate off is done to a different routine.

Stop this of the BBC too misleading viewers that the results show is done on Sunday.
Ridiculous.
On Saturday a neighbour of mine recorded Strictly then on Sunday played it back with timing of the routines and dances.
Less than 40 minutes of a 110 minutes show was actually dancing.
All the rest the tedious VTs and the endless chatter and nonsense from the judges.

They could do the lot, routines, guests, voting and results plus the dance off in that over an hour where it's more like the Strictly Judges show.

Lol. Senseless hate? Compared with what you've said about Pete and Jowita (disgusting) calling Wynne a cheat is very mild. I do stand by my words that it's cheating to enhance his performance and scores by singing at the end of the performance to compensate for the crap dancing. The judges even included the singing in their comments and reasons for the high scores. Makes a laughing stock of the show. They are supposed to judge on dancing. The lack of dancing I should say really. He mainly just stood there while Katya danced around him. He's been babysat on route to the final by the biased judges. He should not still be there based on dancing ability. I don't see how anyone can argue otherwise. He is crap.

Well said.

It seems it's now, ' Strictly (be)Comes the Voice and Dancing '
Good way to get more votes if the dancing was weaker, as long as your face fits with the judges however.

the judges also talked about his dancing though?


it was mainly Motsi who included the singing in her comments



Shirley (The Queen of Rumba) gave him praise for his efforts to the technique and the correct hip rotation



Pete though does the same move in every routine he does so far, same lifts in the salsa this week, as in his american smooth, also i don't judge lifts myself, i judge technical content, and his salsa content was non-existent, no hip action whatsoever, also very stilted whereas in salsa's you need to keep moving throughout the routine


unfair him still being here, and Sam isn't (comparing two novices where Sam has been improving and Pete hasn't)

The fact that Wynne scored higher than Sam this week makes a farce of the Show imo.

who cares?

Well I don't want the leaderboard to be a complete farce.

I don't even dislike Wynne (although I don't particularly love him either) but imo Sam was better than both Wynne and Chris, and the leaderboard should've been reflective of that I personally feel.

And we're missing my personal eye candy of the series now.

Don't get me wrong Tasha's pretty in a more bland sort of way imo, and I know that Montell will have an appeal with a lot of men, but they're not my personal type so I'm going to have a temper tantrum about it.

strong eye candy, never on strictly though



compared to the hunks that are Ingo Rademacher, John Schneider on the american versions in their respective seasons they competed in



and also DWTS their still married couple, Robert Herjavec and Kym Johnson were also quite something steamily hot

[Santa Goth]

I've had a conversation with one of Tasha's family members on Facebook, nothing too in-depth, but we had a chat regardless.

I'm gathering that the abuse that she's been receiving in some corners of the Internet has been upsetting her family and Tasha herself.

And obviously it's not nice to see (especially over what's meant to be a fun Show like Strictly) but I did say to them that it's the nature of Reality TV (especially when discussing the Show on the Internet) it's basically never really going to change.

I do personally think that some people could express their dislike of Tasha better, but I ultimately didn't agree (and still don't) agree with Tasha's family member that people shouldn't say anything at all if they've got nothing nice to say, as ultimately like with any other TV Show, people are allowed to say what they don't like about the Show.

And if Tasha is a problem for some of the audience, then I feel that they have a right to say it, even if the people are being twats.

They all get that. They need to ignore it. I think she's doing great.

Personally I would advise Tasha (or any of the other contestants) to not read too much about themselves on the Internet if it is going to severely impact their Mental Health.

And I agree with you that she's obviously a good dancer, some people being mean about her on the Internet can't change that.

She also does seem like a nice person, and she's not exactly ugly either, so if anything these really hateful people are probably jealous of all of that about Tasha.

I wish that I had said that to her family member now, it probably would've made them feel better.

Obviously I would have to omit that Sam was best girl imo, but that doesn't make Tasha horrible.

Tasha doesn't deserve hate at all

okay she has past dance experience, but whatever dancing she did (likely commercial stuff and ballet) she still has all the ballroom, latin techniques to learn from scratch, ballet just helps you with posture


i mean Detlef D! Soost has 41 years of Hip Hop experience but he had to start from zero on lets dance, with the latin and ballroom which he also struggled with in early weeks, credit on Ekaterina Leonova for getting 41 yrs of hippy hop out of him and making him an allround dancer, and Mock if u liked Sam for her sexiness, well shame you can't watch the german version, Ekat is pure FILTH with her choreo's
