It’s the Semi Finals baby! Going back to catch up with your comments but my hot take on the SF:
Rhys and Nancy Tango - not a patch on his AT. All the power seemed to come from the song. He just always looks so disappointed with what they say (unless they’re fawning). Nice of his dad to introduce himself to Rhys
Rhys and Nancy Samba - not as bad as I worried it would be. Shirl dancing like an old lush at a wedding. Tough dance but think he was a smidge overmarked.
Craig really wasn’t joking, I bet the Witches of Elstree were ripping Rhys a new
hole off camera
AJ and Kai Quickstep - beautiful, my favourite dance of theirs. Stunning dress (feathers were a bit distracting). 100% worth a 40.
AJ and Kai Rumba - I genuinely don’t think there’s anything sexual between them at all, they have a great chemistry but I don’t think as a couple couple. Looking forward to seeing their show dance (I hope it’s less disco and more ballroom-esque)
John and JoJo Couple’s Choice - the last thing I would want to do is offend anyone, and I’m painfully aware that I’m a heterosexual female so my opinion is really worthless. But I didn’t like it, I didn’t think there was much actual dancing. I wish they’d gone for a more uplifting take on what it’s like to be a gay man - not to minimise their experiences but because them doing this IS helping gay people nowadays (along with, hopefully, many other things). Their dance didn’t do it justice
The people who said Rose was pushing her deafness, I would be interested to know if they think John and JoJo are doing the same with their sexuality.
John and JoJo Jive - tough dance for him and I think he was overmarked. JoJo outshone him again. Rhys’ face when they panned into the crowd
. Genuinely don’t think they deserved a score of a point less than AJ and Rose
Rose and Gio Waltz - beautiful. She’s my favourite contestant of all time and her partnership with Gio is next level. Aww Anton
Rose and Gio AT - faultless. Impossible to tell she’s not a pro. That should be a dance in the final.
Shirley - “I just want to close my eyes and capture the moment and put it in a basket”
My husband - “oh
duck off and record it like everyone else”
I think it will be Rhys’ Samba v John’s Jive and Rhys will go. All our online votes went to Rose and we phoned too -
@Fillyjonk, you got me panicking that people will think she’s safe!
