Strictly Come Dancing 2022 #26 Blackpool

[Spanor511]

Is it just me who doesn’t understand the whole “Hamza is the chosen one” thing that people seem to be going on about? Are we forgetting he got literal 4 & 5’s as scores in the earlier weeks, and was seriously underscored on halloween? Just because someone is doing well doesn’t make them the chosen one, it just means they are talented

He’s mega odds on favourite

I loved the Fleur dance!! I can’t vote but hoping my Vito lovers will vote accordingly View attachment 1744255

Christ alive! My only reason for voting for Fleur

And that’s the shows fault how exactly?

I was thinking the top was a bit Margaret Thatcher

It's one of Claudia's cast-off blouses!

Marking has been completely weird and inconsistent as usual. There is no way that Fleur's stompy Beyonce dance was better than her fab samba from last week. It wouldn't surprise me if she's in the DO, possibly with Ellie. Mollie wasn't quite in time for quite a lot of her jive and it was a bit basic and repetitive. Craig would also have jumped on the illegal lifts for most people.

Hamza was lovely, but not quite up to his usual standard. Helen was brilliant.

Where the duck did I say that? I only stated a fact. Calm down man. He’s the bookies odds on favourite….that’s all I said.

Hamza is a ray of sunshine who improves every week and has delivered some memorable performances. He's the only one I look forward to every week this series. And Jowita is so amazing to watch too. Now Oti has left, she's my favourite pro

My post was about Hamza apparently being the chosen one by the show, your unrelated post was talking about him being bookies favorite? Absolutely zero correlation and no one claimed he wasn’t bookies favorite but that had literally nothing to do with my post

Often I wonder how celebs would do with other pros but in this case, I wonder how Carlos would do with another celeb. On paper, it doesn't look great that an on-paper ringer like Molly hasn't progressed but I'm not convinced it's his fault because beyond good technique, she brings nothing to the table.

All I stated was he was the bookies favourite, so not just the chosen one from the show…..get a life.

I didn’t ask if he was bookies favorite, but cheers It’s Saturday night, have a wine or two and stop trying to start arguments with strangers on the internet

I was a bit underwhelmed by Hamza’s AS, I think he’s lacking coming out with any sort of presence or showmanship. There’s humility abd there’s not putting on a show! Compared to say Danny & Oti’s Charleston at Blackpool, or Ore & Joanne’s VW at Blackpool, it fell a bit flat. I still voted for him, because I felt he might need it

 

[wibblywobblywoo]

I love Hamza but I think every week is just nice now and nothing wow..

Kym was good I thought..she's definitely showing improvement and her confidence is growing.

Very underwhelmed by Mollys jive and yes Tyler can dance but was it exciting to watch ..not really.

Not a fan of Helen but I think she outdanced Fleur this week...still bloody love her and Vito so hopefully they will stay in.

Ellie seems to have lost her sparkle ...is she injured ?

And Will ...hmmm, he thinks he's better than he actually is!

My bottom 2 ...Molly and Tyler

Danny & Oti didn’t dance AS at Blackpool. I agree about it being slightly underwhelming though, think maybe nerves held him back a bit but I think it deserved the scores it got.

God a 4-page DS thread already on Fleur’s CC! Are we forgetting that the atrocity that was Tilly’’s CC got 40? Fleur is hardly destroying the purity of dance!

That was a bizarre top!

 

[calmyourritas]

Is there a mole tonight?

The hatred people have for Fleur on these online threads is actually scary. They hate on her for doing the exact same thing every other contestant is doing which is enjoying the experience and going out every week and giving it their best. I understand not everyone has to like her but my god some of the things people say about her are awful.

2 weeks ago I would have said Hamza was a shoe in for the win but now I don't know. He doesn't seem to be enjoying it as much and his dances the last three Saturdays did nothing for me.

I find sometimes a celeb just plateaus, if they have an experienced Pro especially someone skilled at teaching they can usually push them on or polish stuff they are being pulled up on to keep up with the leader board. Carlos is still getting used to the strictly machine himself so this year I can cut him a bit of slack. Whereas with Tyler I suspect it's more down to Diane being his pro.

I’ll be very shocked if he doesn’t, he’s still getting the highest social media engagement almost every single week and even tonight majority of people i’ve seen are voting for him. If you look at the views on the strictly twitter of each performance he’s getting over 20k more views than his closest competition (helen).

I think if he remains bookies favorite after tonight then he will run away with it.
