Hey everyone, so I just read this interview from Hamza and Jowita this morning and my heart is just singing!! :))


Apologies beforehand for the Mirror link, I've copy-pasted some extracts of the interview if you don't want anything to do with the Mirror:

''''
Jowita says his lack of confidence has been the biggest obstacle in training.
But, even so, she says: “We don’t play it safe. I think he’s capable of doing anything. He goes for it and he doesn’t give up.
And for Jowita, 28, she is grateful to have landed such a gifted partner.
She says: “The amount of messages we are getting after every Saturday night is amazing, and we try to reply to all of them.
It’s so nice because he came from a world where there is no dancing. He’s a cameraman. There’s no humans. He never danced in his life.

Hamza is finally letting himself think about winning, and, unsurprisingly, wants to do it for Jowita.
He says: “Winning would come down to sharing this stage with this absolutely amazing woman and knowing what she’s been through in her life and what I’ve done in my lifetime. It would just be a dream come true.
I can’t give her anything in life that she can’t get herself. The only thing I can do is do my best on that dance floor.
And hopefully we lift that beautiful trophy together.
....
Whatever happens tomorrow, Jowita and Hamza will definitely go on the Strictly stage tour in the New Year.
He also wants to make documentaries in Jowita’s native Poland.
Hamza, who lives in the Highlands, tells her: “I’m going to take you to Scotland first.“ He adds: “She wants to go on safari to Africa, and I said yes.
After Christmas, he will return to his day job. He says: “I want to show my love of the natural world. If this platform’s given me a boost to do it, I say thank you Strictly and the BBC.
But he says: “I can guarantee you I will keep dancing... just not for nine hours a day.

Fingers crossed 🤞

Watched ITT late last night, a clip from Richie and Gio's quickstep was shown. I really enjoyed that particular dance by them.

Hamza and Jowita are just so sweet together. Janette has improved as an interviewer, imo, but she still cuts across people quite obviously from time to time. Time gets wasted on some filler and then she cut across Hamza, last night.

That clip of him with the robin - adorable!
That quickstep was sensational. I think if he wasn't screwed over with that fecking lion king dance and costume we would have had a very different show the last few weeks. I really like him. Bump janette aside for Richie!

It was brilliantly choreographed by Gio. I remember writing here that Richie could be a finalist after seeing that :(. To go from that to the fiasco that was Musicals Week and then to be ditched by Gio must have been tough. I like Richie and he’s clearly popular with the other celebs - I’d be happy to see him replace Janette if she left

This interview is precious - they're the most beautiful pairing. Such a natural affection and respect for each other.

I've seen some horrible comments under iterations of this interview with some vile specimen calling him "a sack of potatoes in a suit". Luckily Hamza's got the birds on his side and they might just come over all Hitchcock on anybody who dares to be mean about him.

😭😭😭😭😭😭
 
How could anyone call Hamza a sack of spuds in a suit? His loveliness just radiates from him. I’ve never seen a sack of spuds move like he does, or do lifts, in fact they usually just sit and wait for someone to lift them the lazy lumps of starch. (Also to that meanie he wore a kilt at the weekend and looked fabulous in it).
Although my last choice to win is Molly, the way she and Fleur have handled being in so many dance offs has been exemplary. If that had been me I think I’d have got to a point and just thrown it in a dance off. Good luck to them all in the final
 
I’m not sure Richie would’ve troubled the final but with better dances/production and different pro (or Gio not pulling whatever he did) I think he could’ve had an experience like Ellie T. She wasn’t the best dancer but was lovely, funny and had a fab partnership with Jojo.

Poor Richie, he will go down in SCD history for me as one of the saddest departures. He would have gone further with almost any other pro. Gio was a terrible choice for him. I was never a Gio fan, but I actively dislike him now.
 
I dunno - for me it’s better than last years final which was both a forgone conclusion and underwhelming with only 2 contestants. Like, I know my fave has zero chance but I like both Hamza and Helen so not bothered who wins.

Hoping for topless writhing and some good dances!

same! it has been an underwhelming and slightly flat series, but i feel like the final is already better than last years (even though last series in itself was stronger).

i genuinely don’t mind which of the four wins, though i am hoping for hamza or molly (one of those is less likely than the other though!) - just looking forward to seeing some good dances again.

Exactly. As much as I liked both Rose and John, last year's final was a bit of a borefest - if it wasn't the endless filler to try and use up the time slot, it was the constant 'let's try and make Gio and Johannes cry' interviews. Although I'm sure they try that this year too 😂

It helps that my favourites have a chance of winning, but I'm really looking forward to this final and have enjoyed the series. Boring I know, but I like that they all seem like good eggs and get on really well (and no boring showmance drama)

Same here.

I enjoyed last year, and while I felt that Rose was the nailed on winner from the start, I loved the competition that the others put up to her, especially Rhys, AJ and John. The final did feel like a foregone conclusion though.

I have enjoyed this year because - to me - there wasn't that feeling of there being a clear winner from the start.
And I thought there was a nice camaraderie among all of them, and some really good pairings.

I enjoyed seeing Kym surpass her own expectations. Loved what Nikita and Ellie S achieved together. Loved Ellie T's humour and what she said which brought a tear to my eye - that she was proud of what she had done in her time with Strictly. I loved Tony best. He was never destined to win but he entertained me week in, week out and he gave it all he had.

Most of all I have enjoyed the chats on here. I only discovered Tattle this year. What was my life before? I have no idea 😁
 
When I see Gio like this more casual and laughing around I really like him! He does seem fun with the likes of Kai, Gorka and Nikita. It’s when he’s all polished up and looks a bit sour I go off him.

His PR direction confuses me greatly-his last few partnerships on Strictly and his lockdown lives and lessons have clearly shown that showing more personality and being warmer/more goofy makes him more popular, but they seem to insist on marketing him as this slightly skeevy ‘Italian stallion’ who is aloof and a bit boring? It’s baffling.
