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.
It says on the strictly site that the professional might then form a bubble with another pro to be able to do Sunday night dances once they’ve been kicked off so assuming the bubbles will be disbanded
 
I’m not feeling James Jordan this year. I feel he really doesn’t like Jason for whatever reason. But I liked his routine you can just tell he is loving every minute of it. And why wouldn’t he Luba is beaut

Ive a theory that James Jordan has a small penis. Ive no idea if I’m correct but it would explain the attitude and massive chip on his shoulder.
 
James Jordan just doesn't seem like a nice person. He knows his stuff about dance but seems so backwards in his views - he's the exact type of guy I'd hate to date. I've wondered for a while if he's a closeted bisexual hence some of his homophobic comments.

I suppose the only positive is that he does seem to genuinely love Ola and his daughter.

Didn't like him as a pro either - something really unappealing about watching him dance and his routines were dull.
 
I dont think Bill will win. I hope he goes far though he's good fun to watch

I hope he doesn't win but that's just me 🤞

I think he has the major surprise factor on his side which is actually being good when people thought he was going to be a dud. I don't know how long this will last though.

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.

It was nice to see everyone being supportive of each other.

I thought I was the only one that noticed Caroline's face after she got a bit of criticism; eeeeek 😬

Yeah Nicola's showdance was a bit meh for me; she did everything right in it but it really wasn't anything to say 'WOW' over.

Janette cant choreograph a great ballroom; simple as; she only got lucky because HRVY can actually dance so he can pull it off.
 
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?

Why do I think it? Because I could see he was out of sync with Dianne (I think it was on the kick ball changes and drunken sailors at the beginning that I particularly noticed). Contrast with Bill and Oti, who were hitting the beats at exactly same time.

In fairness to him, it was probably just a bit sloppy rather than actually being very out of time (it's very difficult to get the bounce and retraction to make kicks really sharp perfect in one week), and whoever decided he should dance in trainers is partially to blame as well.

I don't understand it — dance shoe makers are constantly making their shoes lighter and more flexible so the steps look better and are easier to dance, so they put him in trainers?! Not even sneakers, but clompy looking things. The Cuban heel of a latin shoe would have pushed his weight forwards too, which is where it's supposed to be in a jive, so would have made his life easier.

Funnily enough he didn’t have the same issue with Dancing on Ice when they had a same sex pairing.

Really he’s just bitter that Strictly sacked him.
 
I Don’t like HRVY. His name is spelt stupidly, why take out the vowels? It ain’t cool just silly. I also get a bad vibe off of him, I’d never heard of him really before strictly and have never heard his music so am guessing he’s only on strictly for publicity, or he might want to improve his dancing to perhaps work in theatre, as I know Joe Sugg has done that(as we all know he’s had previous training). A few years ago Janet was partnered with Aston Merrygold who was very good, until they did a foxtrot (I think) which wasn’t choreographed very well and he ended up being voted out that week, despite many thinking he’d make it to the final so that might happen to HRVY.
Don’t like Jacqui or Anton. She should be working to help sort out the country, not prancing about making a fool of herself. Anton is just too old for this, I actually voted for him to win last year in the hope he’d leave, but sadly he didn’t and I think he’s going to hold on as long as he can.
I think it is suspicious how oti isn’t with Jamie this year, maybe they thought he’d be better that bill and so didn’t want oti to have a good dancer again, or she knew Jaime wasn’t as good as bill and asked to change. Tbh, Oti has had some very good dancers over the years and they’ve all been younger so perhaps they just wanted to change it buy giving her Bill Bailey.
Also, found Nicola’s dance a little underwhelming, it had more of a contemporary vibe as all the other street commercial dance have been upbeat and fun, over the years. I think she’s a good dancer and will go far but am not too big a fan of Katya.

Agree with you about Hrvy. I don't like him at all. He clearly has had previous dance training, but it's the fact he makes out that he so new to dance & says he is so nervous, when it is as clear as day he is cocky af. He is trying to hard to act like a nice, humble boy next door, but just doesn't work. I'm hoping Jeanette's choreography let's him down & he is out sooner rather then later. At least with Maisie doesn't pretend that she's nervous or hasn't danced before, she knows she's good & owns it, so I can tolerate her. But Hrvy is just nauseating.

I've actually warmed to Maisie a little because of this reason; at least with her what you see is what you get so if she's not your cup of tea your going to know it.

HRVY is trying to pull off a Joe Sugg 2.0 younger version of trying to come across relatable and making it seem he doesn't know what he's doing when we all know he does. He should be like Maisie and own it; nothing wrong with that as it worked for Ashley Roberts, Faye Tozer and to an extent Karim from last year.

Aston was eliminated doing the viennese waltz to ''Who's loving you'' by the Jackson 5. To be fair it was not a good concept and song for a VW and coupled with the fact it was choreographed by Janette who is not a trained ballroom dancer it simply all went to tit. Obviously this was a kick in the teeth for Janette as Aston was an absolute ringer for the final and the fact that she was a part it in bleeping it up must of stung like hell.

It seems to be universally agreed that this is Janette's final year as she is turning 37 this month and has indicated she wants to start a family so this does seem to be her final chance to at least get someone to the final let alone win it.
