Honestly is getting to the point now that more people were at the show last night than were at the Blind Begger pub with the Krays.I've just had a look!!the obsessive analysing of who posted to insta or not for clues!! ...Maybe consider its final week and everyone is just getting on with training...
How could anyone say anything nasty about Hamza? He's not the most exciting of contestants but he is just so lovely
Soccer...please, for the sake of your mental health, slowly step away from DS!
Yeah, I think the people who follow Fleur and Vito on insta and see all their stories see their great relationship, and likewise Vito is a star on the Strictly socials - but that is probably a small part of the viewers. I've seen people say they've only warmed up to the pairing in the last few weeks and I don't think the producers have really done a great job showcasing any of the couples' stories on the show, beyond a bare 'Hamza is nice and shy'; 'Molly has friends from stage school'.. etcHow could anyone say anything nasty about Hamza?

On a similar note, Fleur is actually an incredible human being with amazing compassion and kindness but her true character doesn't seem to come across on the show. Same for Kym. I think the producers spend too much time on showcasing their personalities on socials when the celebs and therefore the "story" of the season would fare much better if they did more of that kind of thing on the actual show. Back in the day we used to see so much more of their personalities in the interactions with judges or on the VTs (I'm glad they stopped doing all the really cheesey tit on the VTs though)
It's difficult to warm to the personalities if we're literally just seeing them talk about how hard every dance is and not being shown any of the wobbles or laughs they have in training.
Jesus this is turning into a longer comment than intended. But remember when Kara Tointon was on it and they showed clips of her storming out and everything. Much more engrossing!
A mouse that used to live in my cousin's friend's mechanics house was there and he said
And just being on the show seems to be a career boost … a lot of the people who didn't win have gone on to have pretty good post-Strictly work
Yes, exactly. They really messed up somewhere. I've no doubt if they focused more on showing us who they are on vts etc it would be a much less flat season.
If Will wins, literally everyone else in the semi finals ( or even the Quarter Finals would have been robbed
They got rid of showbiz and politics ( the most popular threads) thinking that would get rid of the dross, but predictably they just migrated over to other threads and they lost loads of others who foundation be bothered to post there!There was me thinking this year has been relatively drama free and DS is a absolute bin fire right now
I'm a Helen fan but how anyone could be nasty about Hamza is beyond me. He's a sweetheart
Well, he’s actually more than likely ahead on points over Helen.
He looked liked my child in a huff trying to take a fancy dress costume off
I am still puzzled at Will getting basically no critique for weeks, topping the leaderboard with two mediocre-ish dances and then *suddenly* the heel turn from the judges. What was with that? why not critique him fairly and marvel at his 'journey'??

I know. It’s bonkers. There were obvious flaws (bum sticking so far out you could balance a cup of coffee on it for one) with the foxtrot but a bit of a ee-mote-ing reach and grab and all is forgiven. Obviously being strangled with a cape doesn’t give the same pathos.
