Tony is doing well for Tony but if any male celeb danced like he did they would be ripped apart.

Ok I’ll bite. I don’t believe that for a second. Will and Tyler just have to lace up their shoes and they get an 8 so there’s not a chance they would be ripped apart for anything!

Hamza is often pulled up on things the others do but he takes it on board and works on it. The Judges openly laughed in Tony’s face - they wouldn’t do that to any of the other contestants male or female.
 
I actually wonder if amy will be there next year and she hasn’t already given notice she’s leaving which is why they brought in Lauren as a replacement who’s also British. Part of me wonders if she wants a family and knows it might take time so maybe wants to do that instead. She’s had a relatively six year decent run getting half way each time.

I’m quite shocked Fleur is doing as badly as she is in terms of bottom twos. If you’d have asked me at the beginning of the series with the line up, I’d have expected her to be a front runner

Fleur is energetic and exuberant but overly so in those dances which require subtlety and flow - the salsa should have been more into the floor with a consistent flow through the movements. There was very little armography. It all seemed very contrived and spiky and I don't think the high heels helped.
Fleur's great and has huge potential but needs more 'light and shade'. I hope she & Vito can get this sorted.

It's my own opinion thats what would happen; both Will and Tyler have received critiques for their dances as well.

It's why people get annoyed the way scoring works for some contestants; that scores are sometimes given based on the improvement of that particular celeb and not on the dance itself. There were wobbles in Tony's dance and missteps and I'm sure if another male or celeb danced that they would have been marked lower down. I've no resentment for Tony staying in the competition just pointing out whats happening with his scoring.

I am begging the producers to give Amy *anyone* but "Pleasant and Inoffensive Middle Class 36 Year Old Celeb, John McBland" next year.

Give her an older chap and see if she can winkle a decent ballroom dance out of a 55 year old cricket commentator. Give her a ringer-ringer-chicken-dinner 22 year old Tiktok star who can do backflips and see what kind of mental salsa she can give him. Even let her sit out for a year and maybe get more inspiration and fire in her blood, when she sees Lauren/Luba/Michelle roar into top gear at their chance on the dancefloor.

But please. I beg you. No more John McBlands for Amy.

I’d bench her next series if I’m honest and give Luba her place.

Will and Tyler - in my opinion - have been overmarked more than they haven’t. Whilst there have been improvements they’ve gone more sideways than up. There is a huge difference between Will being told he’s got too much attack to openly laughing in the face of someone. And I can’t even think off the top of my head what Tyler’s been critiqued on.

Huge difference and I wonder if Tony had Dianne, you would view his abilities/criticism differently.

I'm not really arsed about Will because he's mardy but he's deffo had critiques; so did Tyler in his AS and his CC.

I like Tony he's giving it his all; I've said the same thing about other contestants in previous series; normally the 'duffer' contestants do get so far and get overmarked for their improvement week by week then the dance itself.

That lady singing is always on the radio, and she sounds like the record tbh.
The pro dance was tit though.
Shirley giving me Liza Minelli vibes

Not disagreeing with you, but as soon as I saw her, I thought it was Anita Harris. She died a while ago, but it is Halloween after all. Why is Shirley doing all these different hairstyles, she doesn’t suit them at all ?

To be fair, Tyler got critiqued by the judges last night and somehow still got 9's and a ten, not exactly the same as the judges laughing their heads off at Tony last week.
