According to my mum, her over-60's group are mad on Will :rolleyes: 🤣

this doesn’t surprise me 🤣 he CAN pull it back imo, if he makes a conscious effort, but even the training vids on ITT this week made him look difficult. when you have someone like tyler there, who is much more of an easier personality, i wonder eventually how loyal his fans will be.

am aware that over-60s are very loyal though 🤣😉 and i do fully expect him in the final, i just wonder if he’ll actually win.
 
I’m not sure on fleur and Molly winning or being in the final tbh. They probably should be on talent but I can see a quarter final dance off between the two of them tbh. Mollys a sweet girl but she’s really really dull and a bit forgettable.

I think Hamza/Will/Tyler/Helen will possibly just edge her out if they keep up their journey contestants trajectory. If Helen has her break through moment she could edge out fleur but if she doesn’t then maybe she could reach finals.

I think one of them will make the final and it will likely be Molly. Does she really fit the 'confident' stereotype anyway?

Fleur seems to be the Pixie Lott of this series.

I don't see Tyler as a finalist, radio hosts always struggle with fanbase and he's rapidly using up his fun dances.

she doesn’t fit the confident one but she definitely fits the stage school one. a lot of people still assume going to stage school makes you a trained dancer and if her vt on saturday is her at sylvia youngs like has been suggested then i wonder what that means for her. ultimately i can see her having a maisie type of journey, will never win but probably should. may be the shock fall at the final hurdle before the last weekend. she would deserve to be in the final though, based on current evidence.
 
Halloween is definitely happening, it's in the schedules for next week.

At the start I thought Fleur would be the ringer who is dragged to the final by the judges, but now I think it will be Molly, and she will probably take out everyone she comes up against in a dance off, Ashley Roberts style.

And Shirley! Tyler is a case in point - if he was a girl Shirley and the public would hate his cockiness

I don't like Tyler's cockiness, and Shirley's favouritism puts me off him even more. For me, only Hamza out of the men has the winning combination of danceability and likeability.

agreed with your whole post and sorry to chop it down so much but THIS 👏🏻

hamza, for me, is the one to beat right now. he’s the perfect storm of a contestant - nice guy, was good from the start but not TOO good, still has a lot of fun dances left in the bag, has had his big “moment” now, likeable and enjoying the experience, not too recognisable or “famous”, has a dynamite partner and a great partnership with her….. no one else matches him on all those points really.

if i was a betting girl then i would put money on 🤣

I got Tony Adams (bless him) in our office sweep. My pal who takes Strictly very seriously got Hamza, and was deeply depressed she didn't get Will or Helen as those were the obvious frontrunners before the launch show, and she didn't have a clue who he was.

But still, she popped a free £15 bet on Hamza to win, and so did her daughter. At 33/1!

What mardyarse- I mean Will could do with now is a classic cheeky Charleston. He needs to show his fun side as I think the serious dances are doing his general reception and demeanour no favours.

Will and 'fun side' just seem miles apart atm. He just seems so constantly aggrieved at something or another 😂
He and Jayde are the most frustrating atm. Just bloody dance and stop overthinking it.
 
Will’s a buzz kill and I cba with him at this point. I don’t think there’s an obvious winner this series - there seems to be a new favourite every week, which I actually like.

I also think trying to gauge who the favourites are from social media or forums will almost always give a false reading. It’s easy to forget that there are so many people who watch and vote who aren’t on these platforms.

I know I’ve posted this before but it’s always worth another watch. I think this did have potential as a feature (better than this week’s gimmick that’s for sure!) but they only did it in 2012 (I think)




PASHA 😍! He could bang me harder than a barn door blowing in a gale

Fun fact - this scored 40

Oh my God THANK YOU for posting this. I can remember this dance and the "fusion" theme so well and whenever I mention it to fellow fans who have watched for years they think I'm mad and can't remember it. I remember loving it at the time but interesting that they didn't bother with it again.

Sidenote Kimberley's Charleston is still up there as one of my faves!

Agree with this a Charleston would be good but I see he has serious dance this week especially the music he has been given.

At the moment I would say Hamza and Helen are the frontrunners. At the moment I think it will be Hamza, Helen, Tyler, Molly in the final.
