For all the social media chatter I’ve seen I’m going to assume that Bill is topping the public vote and I can see him sustaining that all the way through in the same way that Chris Ramsey did last year except Bill seems to be more of a mover than Chris ever was.

I wonder if Bill could actually win if he keeps up the momentum, tonight's Quickstep was quite good.

Would be interesting to see how they'd handle Oti winning twice in a row - they make it really obvious that they don't want consecutive wins by the same pro.
 
I don't mind Bill its more Oti I wouldn't want to see win again. She's had it lucky this year in the fact she's not got an actual dud the year after her win.

His quickstep was good tonight; not much actual quickstep in it but he did well with what he got; he may struggle with more upbeat latin dances in the future but who knows he could be like a chris ramsay from last year and make it quite far.
 
Regarding whichever celeb goes home tonight - do they have to stay in the bubble with their pro until the final?

I can't help but think that the final group dance would be pointless this year if they had to stay in a bubble for several weeks or if they had to quarantine again for a 10 second cameo appearance. IMO, the couples should just disband their bubbles once voted off.

Based now on the fact Bill's got a musical ear and rhythm and Jamie's proving to be a pretty awful dancer, doesn't the fact Oti got swapped from Jamie feel suspicious? Bill is obviously going to go much further than Jamie and they'd have already seen Jamie's ability last year.

Each year they don't want the previous winner to win and because they said they based this year's couples on suitable personalities it felt weird they swapped Jamie and Oti so assumed it must be because he's bad. Now I'm assuming either he requested someone new or she saw how bad he was and she did. Just starting to feel like another example of making sure Oti and Janette always get the good ones.

Doesn’t it mainly go off height? As bill is taller than Jamie. And Oti taller than Karen. But just because he’s musical doesn’t mean he’s going to be amazing. I mean look at max .. I am so surprised he’s so nervous I really didn’t think he would be and someone further up said he was out of time which is really surprising
 
I've never watched Strictly before but last night found myself getting into it and my boyfriend too after the announcement 😂 I thought Ranvi, Maisie and HRVY were the best pretty much because their evidently the best dancers probably. I agree there does seem something off about HRVY, I think it's the nice guy act is a bit too forced.

I like Bill and I did expect better from Jamie. I find it mad the way him and Karen have the same hair
 
I thought Jamie was really good 😍 especially for a beginner

Since when does being in a boy band mean you understand music 🤣

I think Bill has surprised them. I expect he was paired with Oti thinking he wouldn't do that well. I thought they had high hopes for Jamie last year, so I am shocked by how bad he is.



Thanks for the spoiler. I hate that they drag it out over 2 nights.

I just mean he obviously knows when music should be in time or not. I’m not saying he should be a good dancer. But I don’t know why people are saying bill is going to win just because he’s a musician 😂 but then again lee Ryan also a boyband member was terrible if I remember rightly

I was surprised how off-time Max was tonight actually — I didn't think I'd need to worry about that with him.

Just wondering why you think Max was off time?. None of the judges mentioned it last night. And both Natalie Lowe & James Jordan tweeted that Max had good timing. So maybe you where the one off time?

I was loving how supportive some of the pros and celebs were in the background of the other dancers. Jamie Karen exploded when Max finished his dance and its great that not all of them are ruthless in their focus to win.

I think Caroline could be someone to watch as her face as soon as she got criticism was brilliant and I thought as an actress she'd be able to hide that better. She obviously thinks she could win so if she keeps getting criticism it could be interesting.

Also anyone else massively underwhelmed with Nicola yet?

Wasn't shocked how badly Janette cheorgraphed her dance seeing as ots a ballroom. It was pointed though that Luba and Dianne got called out last week but silence about this from the judges this week.

And finally the wardrobe deserves a massive call out for the tightness of the trousers on Alijaz and Gorka.
