I agree that she really hasn't had an easy ride but she's remained positive through it all and given it her all every time. I think it's a shame people haven't warmed to her as her and Vito have a really lovely partnership and people usually love a trier.

Yes, I loved when he said yesterday about her 'don't try to make a lion into a lamb. Let the lion roar' or whatever it was. I feel like he gets her, even if that may end up in an over-enthusiastic waltz that displeases the purists, and a week 7 exit..

I thought that was lovely too - it's really important to have a partner who gets you and doesn't try to dull your energy. I might sling then a vote this week as I do like them.

Fleur is fierce! And utterly gorgeous. I want her to get to Blackpool, think she'll be in her element.

I really like Molly too, such a sweetheart. Another one who just gets on with it and stays upbeat.

Love Molly - she's a really bright and sweet person who is happy to take anything on. I actually also quite like Kym for being really no frills. Come to think of it, I like all the women really.

It’s getting to the point where Ellie S Ellie T and Tony are the weakest links dancewise.
Pleased that Molly and Fleur have some trad ballroom - hope it shows them off.

It looks like Tony might make it to the last 6 or so. I am not sure about Ellie T doing a rumba this week but both she and other Ellie have clearly got more voting support than Fleur (and possibly Molly). Gonna be interesting!

(if I were betting on the order of exits I'd say: Fleur, Ellie S., Ellie T., Molly, Tony. But there's normally a curveball somewhere!)
 
I am feeling like Fleur is near the end of her journey unless they go traditional this week.

Hope Vito comes back next year but think it might be better to give him a 'fun' type contestant who has no chance of winning. Think he & Fleur both suffered from expectations being too high and it's done a disservice to them. We've all seen his likeable personality on ITT so a partner he can really bring that out with and not worry so much about the dancing would be great.

I feel like Tyler might be the curveball - he doesn't seem to be that popular and his crowdpleasers have almost run dry.

Yeah look at Graz: criticised when he partnered Vick Hope (maybe partly because people had expectations of her due to her being young and fit? I have zero memory of them!) and redeemed via last year's work with Judi, then a steady upward curve with Kym. Also hopefully by next year Vito might have learned to leave the kitchen sink at home in choreographing routines!

I'd have said Nadiya or Luba for Tyler - he's tall enough and either would have finally had a chance. Might have also balanced him out a little bit.

A lot of the men were on the taller side this year. I think Will and Hamza were the shortest so realistically should have gone to the two shortest female pros, Dianne and Jowita. James was too tall for Amy as well, it felt like he was crouching at times so he could be more on Amy's level when they were in hold.

James really should have had Luba. I think this year has proved people care far less about the pro than they think given Amy and Gio went out so early, so hopefully we'll see more of a fair system next year.

Amy mentioned the height difference between her and James on ITT, making the lifts trickier to do

The pair-ups are good in general, but there's been fair few mismatches this year, I feel.

James would have possibly been less hunched and cramped-looking with Luba, and I really think poor Ritchie would have had a happier time with Kai. Gio could have got Kaye Adams instead as his Designated Duffer.

And I really would have liked to see Lauren with a partner, maybe Tyler? (nothing against Dianne, just like to see the benched pros get an airing, I do feel terrible for Neil and Cameron, sitting out year after year)

Yes to all of these! People were very excited about Lauren so I reckon her and Tyler would have been a dynamite pairing and a great chance for her to show off what she can do.
 
With Laurens short hair and because she's older than Michelle I can only ever visualise her with an older man (dont know her height) like a Dan Walker type.
