I think the dance off is going to be Robert and Dianne (I donā€™t think heā€™s coming over as engaging) and Nadia and Neil, with the latter going.

I loved Sara and Aljaz, Rose and Gio and Dan and Nadiya - Dan has been a surprising hit for me the last couple of weeks but both dances have suited his physique. Those were who I voted for (definitely 3 free votes if you sign up to the BBC website, 6 on the final - I vote every week)

I didnā€™t think Tilly and Nikita deserved the marks they got - parts of it were good but I didnā€™t think the swivel was there and her dress and boots werenā€™t great (definite wardrobe šŸ˜¬ tonight). I think Rhysā€™ Cha Cha Chaaaaar lacked the normal content youā€™d expect - he said he preferred the more free styling bits but isnā€™t that what Coupleā€™s Choice is for šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø.

My tips for the final are Rose and Gio, AJ and Kai, Rhys and Nancy and John and Johannes and I think J and J will win.

I don't think it'll be Robert (yet) as Dianne has quite a big largely teenage fanbase who will probably vote regardless of whether they watched. I still don't see her appeal, but that's beside the point I guess. I think after a few weeks people will get bored if he keeps doing the straight dancing as he's kind of forgettable and also, sorry to say, not nice to look at in a sea of very attractive male contestants. Then again, if he brings back the comedy schtick people will get bored of him too. I don't see him getting through to the final as there's a lack of chemistry there, but I think we've got a few more weeks of him yet.
 
Is it just me or is Ugo SUCH a sweetheart and gent! He seems so understated but I like that about him. Iā€™m interested to see how far he can learn and improve, was nice to see an improvement this week already.

The jive to ā€˜good for youā€™ was an all round awful concept - poor gorka. I feel Ninaā€™s dance was worse though - just - and I wouldnā€™t be sad to see Neil go.

I love Rose - just amazing what she can do.

I definitely expected him to be more gregarious tbh, it looks like heā€™s not having a great time. I hope he isnā€™t in the dance off yet, maybe after they chucked him out in Scott Millsā€™ rejects last week his confidence dipped but I enjoyed his tango.

Iā€™m still catching up so Iā€™m looking forward to seeing who everyone else thinks will be in the dance off

seen a "spoiler" on twitter, but it's still too early for a proper spoiler, I think, mole or no mole

gigantic pinch of salt needed, but it still could be plausible

god, I love covid protocols for like not infecting people reasons, but my kingdom for a proper audience for the spoiler!

trying desperately to post a screenshot, but my phone is hellbent on still posting krusty. anyhoo, an account by the name of @strictlyspoiled is saying it was a nina/katie danceoff with nina losing

like I say, huge pinch of salt may be needed. but I can see that it's plausible and I needs my spoiler itch scatched!

both the spoiler thread on ds and dave thorp (strictly spoiler on twitter) have said they have no mole tonight, due to the reduced audience

the ds spoiler thread is still full of people picking times for the spoiler tho šŸ˜¶

apparently, there's a twitter account called telly stats who was somehow very accurate last year

I do miss having a spoiler tbh, as I have no patience

@glasgow27 i have to apologise, last year you said Dave Thorp got his info from an audience member and I was sure it was the warm up guy! He must go down to Elstree every Saturday night between 10 and 11 to try and catch someone from the audience willing to spill, unless of course he encourages people with tickets to contact him via the website

ETA - I called Nina Nadia too šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø

For a long time Dave got his spoiler from the DS thread: thereā€™s an active (and, in non-Covid times, very successful) search on there each week for an audience member to act as a spoiler mole, and I believe Dave used to crib the spoiler from there. Over the last few years heā€™s been more active in the organisational side of the DS spoiler operation, but I get the impression that heā€™s not quite as ā€˜well-connectedā€™ as he likes people to believe. He seems to rely heavily on other online spoilers.

Is it the two toned teeth? Just kidding, the heart wants what the heart wants!

We were trying to figure out who he looks likeā€¦he definitely looks like someone but we couldnā€™t think who it was

I think he looks like Luke Evans. But there's somebody else who I can't think of either, 90s gameshow host type?
