I think his CC will be a complete and utter cringe-fest but will still get him a high score.

I think so too.
I just want him in the dance off for the tantrum. It would be EPIC. 🤣

Both Fleur and Molly have ended up in the dance off with high scores from the judges.
I want at least one of them (if not both) to stay out of it this week.

Can't see it happening though.

Fleur has fallen into the dance off with scores of 29, 32 and 35. I don't think that those marks are very high.

'Oooh I've let Nancy down! and me kids! How can I look them in the face?!' But yeah, sadly, I think he'll get through and we'll get a Dance-off Diva Showdown.

They’re really decent marks? If someone like Hamza or Helen had got those scores (they prob have at some point but I don’t keep track and cba to look), they would’ve been saved cos they seem to have a solid fanbase. Fleur lacks that, unfortunately.

I guess that I think of high marks as maybe 35 and above. To me, 29 and 32 are average marks. Not low but not high either. 🤷🏾‍♀️
Fleur's supporters seem to be fair weather people. Like they won't vote for her if they don't like her dance.

I agree with everyone about Will's CC. It will be likely be utter cringe but praised to the rooftops and could easily be the most popular dance of the night on social media. He could potentially close the gap behind Hamza and Helen! I'd be shocked if it doesn't go over well (no matter how much I will hate it).

I think you're spot on. I will be amazed if he is not in the final.

Thank you!! Hamzas Charleston is looking good, I’d love for him to smash this week.

I love Hamza, he's been my joint favourite since early on, but I sometimes think that his laid back nature comes across in the dances and he needs a bit more oompf for dances like the Charleston.

Looking at those training clips, I hate to say it but I think Fleur looks the weakest in both dances. He's my least favourite, but Will looks to have upped his game there.

But who knows what the night will bring!

Let’s remember that Tilly’s CC got 40 last year (I know Cynthia was on the panel instead of Craig but it was an across-the-board WTF for me)

Cynthia was by far the worst stand-in or any judge that has appeared on the panel. Her critique was useless too.

Cannot remember which week or dance it was but she was so afraid of favouring AJ (seemingly their paths must have crossed before) that she gave her an 8 (iirc) when the other judges gave her 9's and 10's. It was so strange that she said wtte that she was proud of AJ then proceeded to slap her in the face with a dubiously low mark.

one of the wildest 40s (probably THE wildest) that has ever been given on this show. even tilly and nikita themselves looked vaguely confused by it.

for me, a 40 has to be a dance that is absolute perfection in all aspects. but when you’re throwing 10s around like they mean nothing it’s natural that we get some really odd “perfect” scores. the only dance that really springs to mind as warranting a 40 from last year is rose and gio’s tango.

i don’t remember really having many in 2020 though! to this day i don’t know what more craig wanted from maisie’s quickstep 🤦🏼‍♀️

Yeah, am not sure about that Charleston choreo, and it is such a #cursed dance this season, but maybe it will be fine? Hoping for some lovely Italian styling for Vito - even just the pinstripe and braces get-up Gio and Graz had doin this number.
I thought Will's Paso was not looking right in the clips, but I am sure I'll be corrected on that by Shirley!

I also wonder about dance order - with three Pasos surely the one to go first will probably have lower marks as they will want to build up to 10s? so that might be Fleur first, then Will, then Molly.. (and similar with Charlestons.. with Fleur probably going before Hamza..)

But at this point I might as well put my tinfoil hat on and join in the endless wrangling on DS!

I agree re a 10, it should be for a dance in which everything is perfect. And the 10 paddles need to be taken away from three of the judges 😁 especially in the early stages. They can only have it back under strict conditions 😁in Shirley's case she would have to promise to drop that 'it's never too early ' ...

It annoys me slightly when the judges give an 8 or 9 but don't say what would have brought the score up. Or they waffle on and on about something vague. I know Joanne Clifton gets criticised mostly for her tyres and pencils 😁 and all that. But I like that she points out stuff that helps me to understand what would improve a particular dancer's scores.

Motsi used to puzzle me, especially when she first started, she would rave about a dance then give a relatively low score. Anton has been all over the place this year, imo. He can give good and critical feedback but then his scores sometimes don't match it.

Just to add regardless of who we like or who we don't, I think they all deserve their places, and I do hope all of their performances go well.

i like motsi overall (i think her energy brings a lot to the panel) but sometimes her comments are just: you danced! i watched it! wow! look at you dance! you look beautiful! dancing!!! and then a completely random score that relates to nothing 🤣

anton can give wonderful feedback (like joanne, as you say) but then give a score that doesn’t reflect it in any way. craig does the opposite sometimes by saying he really liked something and then going 8 or 9 with no real reference to what he thought was missing.

a 10 for me is the dance was amazing and there is nothing within it that could be improved. three of the judges seem to think a 10 is, well i really liked it 🤣
 
Apparently, Fleur's Charleston is Lindy Hop based. It also wasn't choreographed by Jenny, who did the other Charlestons that we have seen so far. Fleur's Charleston was choregraphed by Matt Flint.
