Yikes I hope that was just a boring moment, but that clip's making me scared the Charleston's about to claim another victim. 😬
Really hard to judge anything from Fleur's clip. Tentatively hopeful Molly looks good. But no matter how they dance I'm worried for them thanks to the audience vote.
Tyler still not looking as good as I thought he would, so maybe he could be a shock boot?
Helen possibly not looking great either, but I doubt she's in trouble.

Tyler should just do what Gorka can do, shake his arse around in tight trousers and watch the votes flood in.
 
My theory about Tyler is that they paired him with Dianne because he was the best male celeb dancer going into the competition and they wanted to give her a decent shot this year because week 4 etc etc (they certainly were matched based on height).

The irony being he's had his thunder well and truly stolen by Hamza, someone Dianne probably would have been partnered with in another year (if Jowita was on the bench for example) - similar height, both kid friendly etc. Although I do think a lot of Hamza's thunder stealing has been down to Jowita being very clever with choreography and then gelling as a partnership - would he have done as well as he has with someone else? He is a gifted dancer so possibly

Anyway, cue a bit of panic with some weird overmarking to try and make Tyler look like more of a contender. I still think there's an outside chance he could make the final, but definitely doesn't look like a safe bet for it anymore

Now that I've written this, Tyler's's going to do an amazing paso isn't he 😆
 
Kym, Hamza, Will and Molly all look great. I reckon Tony will do ok (for tony) Helen looks like she's going to get the Laura Whitmore-Giovanni "well done on your spins" treatment. Just standing their shaking her hips while he runs around her. My guess based only on those clips is that leaderboard will go Hamza, Molly, Will, Kym, Tyler, Helen, Ellie, Tony. With Tyler and Ellie in the bottom two (because people like Helen and will vote for her), Ellie to go.

Yeah, I didn't notice until you mentioned it, but it does look like one shoulder's too far forward. Still think he'll be alright though, as both the judges and the audience would have to turn on him for him to go this week.

Yeah I presume there will be an emotional VT about his dad so I can’t imagine there being much meaningful critique for him and obviously there’ll be public sympathy

As Seann Walsh continues his cheap attempt at redemption in the jungle, it’s very telling that Katya and Neil are out as good friends still, whereas Sean’s ex Rebecca is tweeting Women’s Aid links about gaslighting and abuse.

Do we think its maybe time for Rebecca to move on??? I felt really sorry for her, but honestly, she's not the first woman in the world to have been treated badly by her boyfriend. And yes the mind gsmes and gaslighting are soul destroying. But let it go hen, get yourself someone better and chalk it up to experience.

If Oti had been given Hamza last year she would have been clearing a space on her mantlepiece for the Treble Glitterball back in Week Two. Maybe even the instant she spied him across the room at the Great Big Pairing Up Event.

I can almost see her vibrating with ferocious glee over the realisation Mr Yassin had a great deal of natural talent, could fling her about like she weighed nothing, and came across as a gentle and loveable sort on TV. Imagine it. Imagine her grin on Week One, blinding everyone with the sheer shiny-toothed smugness of knowing she was about to murder everyone elses' chances.

Katya too, Katya would have had the lad doing the sort of lifts that our mere mortal mind could not comprehend, and he would have been, very, very tired by Week Six, but still been a finalist. Someone like Flavia back in the day would have joyfully hauled him to the finish line too, he wouldn't have known what hit him.

The Ecuador Salsa Event wouldn't have happened with Amy or Dianne, I don't think, and most of the others are too tall for him, and in Nadiya/Lubas case, are too tall and so reserved the partnership would have faded into the background.

I don’t think it’s your place to tell anyone when the right time is to move on from an abusive relationship if i’m honest.

I think the issue is that most of us don’t have to see our crappy ex’s/abusers in the media in that sense. We can block them on SM. She can’t really do that

Yes, I was thinking Oti and Hamza would have been absolute dynamite together!

It would have been a crime to miss out on that Ecuador salsa, the stand out performance of this series.

Agree with everything re the Amy/Dianne/Nadiya/Luba. Amy is too bland, Dianne really doesn't get a great rapport with any of her partners (don't even remember her partnership with Joe on the show), Nadiya totally forgettable before Dan and since for that matter, Luba has more of a personality but has not had much opportunity to shine.

Jowita is just perfect for Hamza, so excitable and her choreography is getting to be almost as good as Katya, who is a pure genius. 😇

She got a lot of flak for speaking out at the time too. For many, the view was that she should maintain a ‘dignified silence’.Which is exactly the attitude that stops many abuse victims from speaking out, and which allows abusers to escape censure.

I don’t think it’s for me or anyone else to say whether the time is right to move on tbh. It must be so much harder when it’s someone who’s on TV because you can’t just block them and hope you never bump into them. Of course she doesn’t have to watch things he’s on but people on SM can be sly and tag her in stuff etc, just to stir it up.

He humiliated her publicly so maybe she feels she wants to keep reminding people what he did to her. And why not? He’s getting an opportunity to put his version of events forward and she can’t challenge that. And if she is putting out domestic abuse contacts etc then I think that’s a good thing. (I haven’t seen I’m a Celeb so I don’t know what he’s saying).

I have to say Neil has gone up in my estimation, I think between the video and after last week’s dance he obviously still cares for her and supports her. But their circumstances were different and Neil’s reaction isn’t comparable to Rebecca’s imo.

I don’t actually, and I don’t think anyone owes any ‘get over it and move on’ to any of the gruesome twosome of Hancock and Walsh (nor Boy George).
