re Kym's AT - rewatching this - so impressed with her flexibility and determination. She has real grit.
Graz is now one of my favourite pros - as well as the dark-tuxedoed & pony-tailed eye-candy - he seems so kind and supportive and is having the chance to shine this series (out of the Gio shadow?) and long may it last.

She was incredible, and Graz looking like a mafia don didn’t hurt either
 
Out of interest, does anyone know the longest time that the novelty contestant, for want of a better word, has stayed in? I have a vague memory of Joh Sargent (I think) asking people to stop voting for him because he’d stayed in so long and other, good dancers were getting voted out. Didn’t Dave the hairy biker have a longish run too?

I don't have a problem with the way Fleur brought up her dad - it wasn't overdone and tbh, I don't like people referring to grief as a "sob story". Call me a softy snowflake but that's incredibly tactless when somebody has died.

Noticed Vito getting all teary eyed at his parents (and also his gorgeous mother! No wonder he's a looker)

I didn’t mean to be disrespectful when I referred to it as a “sob story” - it isn’t a great term and apologise if I’ve offended anyone. But, I didn’t appreciate it when Jayde spoke about her sister and I didn’t appreciate it last night - in fact, less so with Fleur. She hasn’t deserved to be in a dance off, she certainly didn’t deserve any hassle and abuse re last week’s dance off…but I’m afraid I think it was a blatant attempt to get votes. I might have missed it but I don’t remember saying it at the start (which you might have expected if it was her dad’s favourite show) but I’m happy to be corrected. She’s competitive and wants to win, I do get that. But showing pictures is very emotive and imho, CC is the opportunity to pay a fitting tribute to a loved one.

She’s a great dancer and I understand her frustration at being in the dance off when other less competent dancers have sailed through. But I feel how I feel and I don’t like it - and wouldn’t if it was Tony or Hamza or anyone else.

christopher parker arguably has to be the worst dancer to ever get so far.

i do think that more recently, as we get into the final few weeks, the public’s affection for a not great comedy-ish act starts to wain. i could see tony have a dan walker or even a chris ramsey sorta journey where he goes far further than he ever should but eventually leaves near to the end.

Okay...caught up with last night ...
Thoughts...

Hamza - glad he's nailing the Latin aswell as the ballroom! Probably not 10 worthy...but he's an angel and needs to be safe, so ill allow it...

Ellie T - I thought her Rumba was quite good? She's one you can see is improving every week. Craig was unnecessarily harsh...

Molly - very good dance. Terribly undermarked. I like her more and more every week. Absolutely hate that song though!

Ellie S - not the best Charleston unfortunately...out of time with Nikita and no swivel (though as other have said, she might not be able to do it)

Tyler - don't like him or Diane. Posture was terrible, dance was boring!

Kym - not been her biggest fan...but that AT was great!!

Will - trying to hard, can clearly see he wants the glitter ball! His posture when in hold looked a bit off at times and some of the footwork looked dodgy!

Helen - sweet jeebus Gorka's arse should be hung in an art gallery!!!
I actually really enjoyed their jive, mistake aside she done very well!
I know I'm in the minority on here...but I really like her and love that you can see her feeling more comfortable and confident every week! Gorka is hot as ever

Fleur - bottom two bounce back with a nice safe waltz! It was good!

Tony - look, I know he's popular on here, but he needs to go! *hides*
What was up with Katya post dance!? She looked fewmin...

Scoring was as mental as ever!! Shirley needs to take her tiny shoes and f*ck off!
Special mention for Claud's sparkly jammies!!
 
My memory isn't that great but wasn't Fleur in quite a few sing offs X Factor (cos she wasn't that good a singer) till they gave her Uptown Funk with a heavy production so you couldn't really hear her singing???

I know she did well on I'm a Celebrity but it's a much more polarising show.

And I think that's part of the issue - she's a one hit wonder who's been on a fair few reality shows.

Which I suppose is better than Molly who's a stage school kid with no hits.

I know this won't be a popular opinion but I'd be happy to see Tony outlast both Fleur and Molly. They're both better dancers but with Tony you've got the element of entertainment and surprise.

I didn’t think I’d ever say this but I’m watching Lorraine Kelly host Queens for the Night on ITV and she knocks Tess out of the park. How can Tess be so bad and stay in the job so long?

I wasn't a Brucie fan AT ALL most of the time, but I could imagine him handling Shirley's Dianagate well - 'eh? Who's this Diana you keep talking about?' or something like that.
Why does Shirley keep doing it? It is just so wierd. Being charitable maybe she has a friend called Diana and has a brainfart when she means to say Dianne.

i feel like bruce definitely would have pulled her up on it - probably in a comedy way like looking over his shoulder or behind diane like “diana? who’s diana?” but enough to point out to her that she’s doing it. diane is absolutely a more chill person than me because i would 100% have said “thanks sharon!” as we were leaving 🤣
 
Just catching up on last night. Hamza and Jowita - what a partnership they are! 🔥 absolutely love watching them.

Tyler for me is not getting any better as the weeks go on 🤷🏻‍♀️ his bum is constantly stuck out and it takes away from the entire look of the dance. Feel like it’s the first week that the judges have actually given him that feedback. Also shocking that Shirley has now referred to Dianne as Diana two weeks in a row. Well done to Motsi for finishing her feedback by saying “Tyler and Dianne!”

Kym and Graz were sensational. Absolutely loved that routine, wow. She has amazing legs.

Felt so sad for Ellie T and thought the feedback was harsh and the scores were rough too. Felt like she really tried hard to do her best.

An amazing improvement for Ellie S from last week! That theme and routine really suited her.

Gorka’s bum is a thing of beauty. 🍑

Overall a good show I thought!

BIB- I would do that too. 🤣

It's a bit like when someone at work repeatedly spells your name wrong in an email even though it's right there in front of them in both your email address and signature.

It's disrespectful to say the least not to get someone's name right. Does she do it deliberately, I wonder.
She should write down all the names if she can't remember them. 🙄

There was a drama about that, I don’t know how they did it but she sang it before Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson released it, so it got rush released and Mark Ronson was understandably annoyed about and I don’t think Fleur helped matters by saying it got to number 1 thanks to her.
