3 hours a week?!? How could you learn a whole routine to any kind of standard in 3 hours!! How did she get on?
She was bad, displayed the silliest rumba face ever, not bettered to this day. I have to fess up to some delight at discovering there is something that Vorderman is not good at 😳
 
Unpopular opinion 🫣 but Helen pulls in a tit tonne of votes because her ex dipped his wick elsewhere

I don’t think that’s necessarily an unpopular opinion.
Helen seems like a really nice woman, she appears to be enjoying herself and has done a couple of pretty decent dances, but I think I’ve said before that having an absolute shitgibbon for a husband isn’t a reason to win in and of itself.
She’s not playing the sympathy card herself, but I’m sure that’s why some people are voting for her.
However, I do think you may have underestimated the number of people voting for Gorka’s bum. 😳

I think people under estimate the Blue Peter effect as well … Gethin/Matt/Helen were all on around the same time … and probably had a bit of crossover? And they’ve all done well. Add in a bit of Countryfile and that’s lot of Strictly basis covered.
 
She is every bit as ambitious to win it as Will. She just hides it better, imo.

Nothing wrong with wanting to win, of course, it's a competition after all!
I do admire the fact though that she has at no time, tried to bring the horrible relationship situation she was/ is in, into the programme.

Actually an old clip of Strictly was on an old episode of Gogglebox recently and one of the goggleboxers said to the other something along the lines of 'I'm so glad there are no sad stories on Strictly like there are on X Factor. Strictly is so feel good.' 😁

I’d be surprised if they allowed her to ditch the CC (Idon’t think anyone has got to the final not having done a CC, I know John did his late last year) but it is cutting it fine for her and Will, but it will be interesting to see what story they hang it on.
 
She should probably be next to go. Her jive was her only stand out dance imo even though her quickstep scored higher it wasn't that memorable. I would like to see her do a couples choice with a similar vibe to the jive but if she has any more sexy latin then surely she's got to go!
Every week as she’s about to dance I’ve been saying “this is the one she’s going to really wow us with…” and bar the jive, it’s not happening.

I wonder when they’re scheduled for CC - they’d be insane not to incorporate her tap background. But I think @Curtaintwitcher45 is right - the votes are coming so she’ll probs make the final anyway 🤷🏻‍♀️

Can they announce the songs and dances already? It gets later and later the less celebrities they have and the show is in three days!








Do you think they’re still waiting to see if Kym’s coming back or no?
 
I'm not sure Helen utilising her tap background would actually be a great idea so late in the competition - she's managed to escape the ringer claims unlike Molly, but if she were to use a different style she's clearly trained in I'm not sure it would go down too well.

Good point, I didn’t think of it like that. Mind you, if they CGI’d her husband’s face onto the floor and she tap danced all over it, she’d probs get away with it 😉

Kym was back rehearsing with Graziano yesterday.

No, I think people would be fine with it and love it because it's Helen and she has 'golden girl' status this year. Wouldn't go over well if it was Fleur or Molly.

I had forgotten that we had CC's yet to come.
We know what Will's story will be anyway - me kids... 😁

There is talk of Will doing a CC (to Miss Saigon) and dedicating it to his wife, whom he met doing a musical together. This risks reminding unwitting viewers that Will is actually a bit of a ringer, but as with Helen, I doubt it matters. Once you've been designated by the GBP a girl-next-door or sexy, relatable dad, nothing can change! (Meanwhile Fleur or Molly breathes next to a stage set and it's 'who does she think she is??/'I heard she once starred on Broadway'

I can see him asking to do a CC to a rap he’s written. He’ll say he’s just thrown it together but actually he’s been working on it for years. He’ll also insist on doing the choreography because no offence Nancy but you don’t have kids, so…and it’ll look like an SM:TV skit for which he shall receive a 40

You do realise how disappointed I will be if this does not come to pass? 🤣

100% spot on.

Ugh, I’d almost forgotten about Matt Baker. He gave me the absolute galloping ick when he did Strictly, and I LOVED Aliona.
