Strictly Come Dancing 2021 #14

I’m going to third this, I’m surprised how much I’m enjoying him dancing! He knows he’s not the best but appreciates still being there, there have been no sob stories, he’s mentioned his wife and kids an appropriate amount (I’m looking at you McFurlough!) and after however many years I feel we’re getting to see the real Nadiya.

I think Rhys is technically a better dancer but his frantic style and sulking when he gets any sort of critique mean I would have Rhys leave before Dan

Yes, I agree with you all too. I didn’t know who Dan Walker was before Strictly, so my opinion of him is based on this alone. He seems like a really nice chap who’s enjoying the experience and has a nice friendship with Nadiya. He knows he’s not the best and is so appreciative of people voting to keep him in. I like him! Saying that though, yes, he is the weakest dancer left.

It was the line about being home alone with the baby since he was born. That felt rather mean, she got pregnant after one date and he's a young Olympian in an Olympic year what did she think it was going to be like with him?

It was two months, but yeah. She has played down her role in the kissgate fiasco a lot here. She had also originally said on insta that she persuaded him to take part. Even though I am sure it's been hard for her at home, she didn't make things easier during SCD by posting nice things about him and Katya much.

I enjoy Dan's persona on SCD and how he's brought the fun out of Nadiya. also Adam mentioned that Dan was the one who started the Strictly WhatsApp group for celebs and they all seem to love him.
Having said that, wonder what will happen if he stays tonight and a much better dancer goes..

I had Dan down to be the first one out so I'm quite surprised he was better than I thought he would be. Yes he's probably the weakest now but I think he's pretty harmless so he could still get the viewer vote.
And I want my girl crush Nadiya to stay in as long as possible

 

[Imainlylurk]

I have really grown to like Nadiya this season. I feel she comes across as really genuine, and sweet.

 

[Renegadedancer]

Roll on tonight. I need to go and get some snacks. I really fancy some chocolate covered popcorn.

 

[ComeForTheX StayForTheY]

I feel that unless Dan really finds another gear tonight then he should go
I read that thing by Adams girlfriend, all I can say is I highly doubt she actually wrote any of it, it was not authentic
I haven't watched any IIT this year but sounds like I'm missing out on the Janette show!

It says 'as told to..' so they interviewed her and probably edited it very selectively. I agree: it doesn't sound like her.
anyway, that nice 'nothing to see here!' story has 3 comments on the Mail online, while their latest bollocks about a Katya meltdown currently has nearly 400.. ☹

I think tonight will be Dan v Rhys - can't see any of the others, except maybe Tilly, scoring low enough, and if Tilly has a fanbase surely they will be out in force tonight.

 

[Sprezza]

Sorry but I disagree. I've never liked him on BBC but I'm surprised how endearing I find him and their partnership is really good. He is just a nice guy trying his best and he isn't all that bad (when not given a joke routine). It's boring when everyone is really good, he is like your average guy learning to dance and is improving.

I agree but it's time for him to go now

 

[Shesaidwhat?]

I have a feeling it will be Dan v Rhys tonight
I just think Rhys hasn’t got the fan base the other contestants have and Nancy really doesn’t have the like ability factor.

 

[LowCalCalzoneZone]

I'm intrigued as to how Sara's AT is going to go, especially with a disco track!? I didn't like her rumba, and they can't really get away with it not having a sexy vibe with an AT

I don't mind Dan, but from the rehearsal clip, it just looks like he's not really doing anything different - he just seems to move the same way in whatever style of dance he's been given

Saying all that, I think Tilly is most likely to be B2 again,

 

[Renegadedancer]

I don’t think Dan will be in the bottom two , I think there will be a ‘ shock exit’ this week.

 

[Definitely Maybe]

Just a heads up, Strictly starts earlier tonight, 6.40.

[UnknownTattler]

 

[Vanelope]

Tilly Rhys or Sara for the bottom two. Dan and Tom have more of a fan base and the other three should be safe.

Moment of appreciation for Gio imitating Amy's annoying laugh!

Bit rich of Kai to laugh at Antons teeth

I’m glad she is. I hate this idea that the bbc and general pr advice seem to have that defending yourself makes it worse.

Good on her. They are toxic. Sadly she’s probably put even more of a target on her back now
