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.

Yes, I've been very underwhelmed the past few weeks, too. I think he's been getting overpraised since the Salsa happened. I really do like him and want him to have another stand-out before the final.

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.

I realised that as soon as I posted it, their AS was great but I was thinking of their Charleston. He danced it well I just feel like he’s a bit timid or acts like he probably shouldn’t be there. Don’t hold back Hamza!
 
Hi guys how is everyones evening?

I was at a family members house at a gathering half watching the show. My thoughts:

-Beginning of the show saying to Craig that he hasn't given a 10 and there has been no 40 yet is just asking for the judges that they must give a 40 tonight which isnt fair; let them mark how they want to mark.

-Hamza - He was good but had 'pigeon toes' as mum mum kept saying throughout the dance; he's the obvious winner so I'm resigned to the fact that any obvious mistakes will be ignored.

-Molly - I think she was let down by the song choice, not exciting enough for a jive in Blackpool. It was a good dance but felt like she lost power by the end of it.

-Kym - I'm sorry I was distracted by the songs and the singing but from what I remember she did well enough. Noticed Graziano had Will's mardy face while getting some of the critiques.

-Tyler - Deffo loved the music! The lifts at the start weren't the best but once he got into the dance he was good. The lift at the end was great.

-Ellie - It was clunky in places, did she forget some of it?? The lifts were lovely thought. Didn't appreciate the cheat code of having Johannes and the male dances dancing the last 10 seconds of the dance while she got lifted in a Glinda circle.

-Helen - I missed it due to toilet break and chatting; didn't like the outfits and think it being Blackpool it could have been a better song, theme and outfits given but after rewatching she did amazing! It's times like this is when she could give Hamza a run for his money even if he has got the win wrapped up.

-Fleur - I didnt know what to make of it really; its not like she danced badly but it was too all over the place with a megamix as it was too stop-start. Deffo not a worth a 40! This could bite her in the arse next week as I think the general public opinion is that it did not deserve a 40.

Will - I had a bit of dejavu because at our family gathering some of my family were up dancing and I thought my dad danced in the tv for a second! :LOL:
 
Like Fleur but that dance didn’t deserve all 10’s. It was so mechanical and the transitions were sketchy, just seemed like moments of static staccato movements, some walking over her dance partner and onto the next song. It should have worked and should have been a show stopper, but it wasn’t.

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.

Yeah people love him. All it really takes is one dance for people to go absolutely nuts for a celeb.

He's probably the best of a boring bunch at best though. I think he's plateaued (is that even spelled right? Why so many consecutive vowels. My brain!)

He'll have to pull out another stomper in the next few weeks I'd say.

I think if it had have been a dance to lose my breath and not a mega mix it would have bowled me over.

I think as long as he continues to dance well he will win, I don’t think he even needs another standout if i’m honest. I’ll be happy about it, Helen is great but I connect much more with Hamza personally.
