He's like a Scooby Doo villain. You can see his face change when he receives any criticism, he just can't take it. Then the tears learned at the Joey Tribbiani school of acting start. He would have gotten away with it if it weren't for us pesky Tattlers calling him out.

He was mardying (no it's not a word but I can't think of a better one) to Richie in the interviews backstage, on ITT, about how he feels when a dance goes badly... um I think, Will, Richie who was eliminated early on knows exactly how that feels. 🙄
I still remember the apology to 'me kids' in one of the early programmes and the 'we are not professional dancers'... 🙄

I wouldn't be all that surprised if the Hamza and Helen vote splits, as has been said upthread, and Will wins tbh. 🙃

Lol a hamper of Italian food! Gio knows how to play these people so well though. He can play up the 'Im just a poor Italian guy looking for love in the wrong places!' *SadfacewhileswipingTinder*.

I went back and looked at a few pages of the Georgia AT (though who can plough through literally thousands of pages??). I didn't see the hamper news, but at the start of 2016 season there is a lot of angst about whether they'll get back together (I think they split in August) and worrying about Gio liking pics of girls on insta :unsure:. The fact that this has been going on for *six years*, and shippers of whichever pairing are like 'oh I'm sure he's liked a pic of Miss Doncaster in her bra because he's studying lingerie manufacturing techniques. Italians are very into design, you know' is hilarious. No sign of LadyLav: she must have regally floated in later on..

italians are very into design!!! 🤣🤣🤣

yes like gio is sitting at home (in full polo neck and double breasted day suit of course) looking at victoria’s secret models and thinking “wow the intricate lace work on this corset is exquisite.”

how have i missed all this entertainment.

I agree. For me, mind you, I had absolutely no idea about her private life whatsoever. Dont read the tabloids or IG, etc. The only reason I vaguely knew who she was because she was on every wishlist on DS. But it's when I started seeing constant comments regarding her ex, it seemed like the only time people spoke about her was in relation to him. So, it seemed to me that was the main reason people were supporting her. It's just seemed to be a constant stream of, "You go Helen. That will show him".

But I like that the final is more unpredictable. It's a toss up between Helen and Hamza but then there is the prospect of them cancelling each other out and Will sneaking the win. I'm doubtful the latter will happen. But if he avoids the DO again this week, you never know.

I don’t know anything about any of the pros or celebs, because I watch only the two main programmes, so all these personal details are lost on me. I am happy if I actually have heard of the celebs in the first place. And that is becoming rare. 😂

No, but it is actually sad that Fleur and Molly have been in most of the dance offs this year. Based on dancing, neither of them have deserved to be there so often. I am just glad that neither of them take it personally.

ETA: Someone on DS seems confident that Fleur has the Paso Doble and Charleston next week.

Not that it makes a lot of difference I suppose, but Fleur is older, perhaps she can take the dance offs less personally, but I really feel for wee Molly, I reckon she will be upset and think people don’t like her. I find her so full of joy, and youthful exuberance. May have to give her all my votes from now on. Sorry Hamza, don’t think you will mind.

That's true.

If I didn't like Fleur and Vito so much, I would vote for Molly as well. I feel like it is too late in the competition to start voting for two couples. Every vote counts now.

fully agree. and fleur has done two similar competition shows (x factor and i’m a celeb) so i guess knows how the game works.

i feel for molly. she’s usually so positive and upbeat still in the dance-off but you could see it had gotten to her yesterday. i might throw her some votes too!

His Appreciation Thread had some sort of collection and bought him a hamper of italian food and a cookbook that they tracked to his residence … but he never thanked them. The gymnastics being performed to account for this (although it had reached his building, it was still waiting for him to collect, etc, etc) and then he posted a selfie with the hamper in plain sight and it all went quiet.

(no, I didn’t just use to read the thread for the S&G’s, of course not)

I know I’m in the minority but I love Fleur. She and Vito are a great partnership

Poor Molly did not deserve to be in the bottom two, I thought she was excellent, far better than Will and Hamza. I know there’s a lot of love for Hamza on here but he doesn’t excite me.

Quite a few people on here seem to like Fleur but maybe like Vito more. I like Fleur both as an individual and in her partnership with Vito. Her and Vito definitely seem more liked on here than they are on DS.
Hamza doesn't excite me either. I didn't even love his Salsa.

I also like Fleur and really like her and Vito's partnership. I think she's very dynamic.
 
I wonder if Molly doesn't get the votes because the older generation had never heard of her before ? I mean I hadn't , and I guess it's the more mature people who watch Strictly. Also Carlos being a new pro wouldn't have the loyal followers would he ? Hmmm
 
I also think Molly hasn’t been done favours by production - her VTs have involved Sylvia Young school and HRVY, reminding everyone she’s a ringer. They don’t really have a story for her bar ‘I’ve been in the entertainment industry for a long time’. Arguably her story is now people feeling sorry for her due to multiple DOs which might get her over the line to the final, but isn’t a game-changer

I liked Fleur on X Factor, I didn't really know much about what she had worked at, since then.

On the first night, I though 'oops she can't take criticism.' I was completely wrong.
She took some quite harsh comments especially from Shirley, in the early stages, weathered them, and kept bouncing back. Including from dance off(s).

She and Vito are genuinely funny together, as well as working really hard to keep their place.
