I think it would be a huge loss if Katya & Oti left in the same year but I see where you are coming from @lizzolyn. Maybe a chance to just have a full clear out of the popular pros and start over.

I can’t see Katya leaving anytime soon, she’s nothing to leave for if that makes sense.

On a personal level she’s single (as far as I know) so isn’t settled down and potentially looking to start a family like some of the others. Then professionally she doesn’t strike me as someone who’s got lots of other opportunities coming her way.

I don’t really see any pro leaving as a huge loss tbh; they’re all replaceable there’s thousands of ballroom/Latin dancers out there who are just as good. Yes Oti is a good dancer and choreographer but she has been helped massively in popularity by getting ringer Danny and popular Kelvin and Bill. After doing the greatest dancer and the masked dancer and winning strictly twice she’s more known than some of the contestants however now that those shows have been cancelled there’s not really a job for her to fall into immediately after she leaves strictly so who knows she may stay for another series. I don’t think the public are as fond of Katya after kissgate tbh so I don’t see there being much of a gap if she leaves.

Johannes looked pissed off not getting amazing comments this week :rolleyes:

Yes of course he did but i get Michelle Visage vibes from this pairing, they expect to cruise through and win just on the basis of the LBQTetc thing. I remember some very cross comments about Craig as a gay man not being supportive etc from Michelle. But he's judging them as a couple just like everyone else- and surely this is the whole point at the end of the day, being a couple that people view the same as anyone else?
Correct me if I'm wrong but i just don't get the point otherwise 🙊

Does anyone listen to what Motsi says? It’s just noise now ‘blah blah blah… energy.. blah blah blah’

any Mc Fly fans here but wouldn’t vote for Tom?He’s not as good as he thinks he is and will be gutted if he doesn’t do as well as Harry by getting to the final at least.

Completely agree. It’s just noise coming out of her mouth. She never says anything constructive it’s just tit wow the energy comments. I like oti but motsi drives me insane.
 
There is something slightly off with John for me. I feel like he is acting the way he thinks people want / expect him to act. Its the hand on his chest, the intense looking at the judges when they comment on the dance. I'm not sure but there is something off with him.
I thought the dance by J&J was okay..ish. they spent too long out of hold and it was a bit blocky. I agreed with Craig.
 
I think people are misinterpreting Johannes disappointment yesterday as him being bitter/not happy with any negative comments.

The vast majority of the criticism aimed at them yesterday was the routine & choreography being poor/confused/not great. That must be really hard to hear as a pro who has probably put a lot of effort into said choreography! I’d feel pretty wounded if someone criticised my work like that. Ultimately, the dances Johannes puts together are what will see them through. I imagine he felt a mixture of a bit hurt/pissed off/gutted and disappointed in himself. He’s been really quiet on social media since last night. And John has been noticeably my gushing about how a
