so Dave Thorp also does a poll on his site where people can vote and then shows the results. Over 100,000 votes cast and you get 3 each so quite a big sample. Bottom two were Tom and Rhys and then Dan with 10% of the vote. Rose got 30% and AJ 20% so I’m happy with that.

Don’t worry about it, he would’ve been secretly voting for Ricky and Natalie instead 😉


That was the most asexual dance about love I have ever seen, Matthew Bourne!! Amy did all the work and Tom’s love was so unrequited, it looked like they’d never even met before!

I'm so disappointed in Matthew Bourne. If they changed roles and had Amy following Tom and then her on her own that would have made more sense. Tom could have been cold and emotionless and would have been better.
Of course Amy wouldn't have let the chance to be in the lead go

This is maybe better as a poll at the start of the next thread, but I’d be interested to see how many people here vote (if they can, obviously people will be out) but if you’re watching it in real time, or close enough to still be able to vote - do you?

I use my three online votes (you get six in the final) and I have been known to vote on the phone too. If I have a favourite, I always vote for them even if they get a high score and then my other two will go on who I enjoy on the night.

I almost always vote (have missed it a couple of times due to watching it a bit later and missing it). I voted for Gorka and Rose 🤣 until Gorka left. Rose then got them all but the last 2 weeks I’ve split them with AJ as I think she deserves to go further.

It was a terrible routine which didn't showcase Tom at all. He mainly air grabbed and did lifts with very little else, and what he did do was a bit robotic and emotionless. He should have had more of a clear character and focus - Charleston or jazz routine to Master of the House, for example. Or if he was in Oliver, why not bloody do Oliver?

Because then he couldn’t showcase his sister and shamelessly promote her.

Will shamelessly admit I will give all my votes to Gorka until he leaves, and since then it just depends on the night, whether it's who I enjoyed the most or tactical. Last night it was 1 for AJ and 2 for John - I do usually vote for Rose, but I think John needed more help yesterday.

I only phone vote if I'm quite invested in a pair and it looks like they need more help, but I don't go crazy - just a few phone votes, max

I think this a tricky one and as Moderator, maybe @Oohthedrama could keep us right. With only 7 couples left, I can think of two contestants who aren’t popular here and a third who is often mentioned so I don’t personally think it’s obvious.

I used to read the Daily Mail and on a Sunday morning I would avoid all the Strictly stories but dickheads who read spoiler sites were posting the results in completely unrelated stories. So I stopped reading it at all on a Sunday, because then I didn’t want to know.

I personally think that if I don’t want to know then it’s up to me to avoid where it might be spoken of. Or the alternative is no spoilers at all, which is why I tagged a Mod in

Ok, my opinion, this was always going to happen on a chat thread, it’s hard to stop spoilers and reactions from being posted and on a thread like this, you’re making the choice to read it (knowing the results have been pre recorded and appear in numerous places online this morning) you take the chance you’re gonna see them.
so if you really don’t want to know the results, you need to avoid EVERYTHING until the show is over, come in to chat room, you’re 97.245% likely to see the results 🤷‍♀️
Or a photo of my lover 😐

I love Matthew Bourne but he's wrong here. I knew that the dance was meant to show the pain of unrequited love, which only made the dance worse because it didn't show any of that. It wasn't clear that Amy (Eponine) was in love with Tom (Marius) or that the love wasn't returned. I've seen more emotion from a cardboard cutout of Keanu Reeves.

I agree. He didn’t come across as Marius at all.
I know he wanted to do it because Carrie played Eponine, but that’s Eponine’s big solo and I think it meant everyone’s focus was more on Amy. They’d have been much better off doing a beautiful contemporary to “Little Fall of Rain”

I vote when I’m watching it live but there have been weeks I watch on catch up. I always vote Rose, AJ and used to vote John but last night I gave Tilly a vote to try and keep a slot on the bottom 2 free for Dan or Tom.

Ok I rewatched it as was only half-watching last night. I have zero knowledge of Les Mis but it was just boring - the usual contempowaft in bare feet, running away etc. Tom is unable to express emotion, but also that lift looked like Amy was strangling him or might snap his neck! The comparison to Gio and Debbie highlighted his inadequacy.

Would it help if another #SCD thread was set up purely for spoiler chat? Just an idea :-)
