True. But there was a disgraceful lack of her hot brother.

My first question was where's Billy?!

Oh my goodness I was crying my stone heart out on ITT. They were all so wonderful.
Thank goodness for Rylan otherwise I'd be drowning in a house of tears.

Tonight I want everyone to win! What endearing finalists

 

[Fillyjonk]

They are all a lovely bunch

I was fuming about that! But how sweet were her grandparents!

 

[Sea]

And for any old or new strictly fans if you've never included ITT as part of the strictly experience, do if you can, it really enhances "the Journey"

 

[Evesdropping]

They are all a lovely bunch 

I actually like each and every finalist this year. There are years where I'm not so pushed or a couple irritate me but this is a lovely group.

I feel a bit bad for thinking he and Matt would be insufferable, when really it was Jayde all along.

 

[ButtonDownTheHutches]

Let me make your opinion that slightly more popular by saying I share it. I've always got a strange, insincere vibe from him.

I’m a member of this club too. The only time I’ve found him bearable was with Faye, and that’s purely because she was so fabulous. Other than that, I’ve always thought he was a bit of an arse.

I still feel terrible about the awful things I said about Matt

 

[soccergirl]

Get you a man who can do both (weep helplessly on TV and grind in a giant ball of twine)

 

[Aussie]

I still feel terrible about the awful things I said about Matt

And so you should!

 

[Elleyunsun]

Catching up on some of this week’s ITT and Leandro and Maria’s performance is absolutely insane, so good.

I want Vito and Hamza to win together, how can I make that happen?

Omg this! Finally, someone else has voiced what I've been thinking since around week 5. Apparently Vito and Hamza get along really well too! (And they both love animals and have the cutest smiles!) They are the dream team. These two are the highlights of the series for me. No question.
If they dance the Argentine Tango I was thinking that Hamza would have to be the male lead, so he would be showing off Vito. Perfect.

I would pay serious money to go out and spend the day with both Hamza and Vito. That would be the best day of my life.

This is the real ship. Hamzita make way for Hamzito!

Vicky Gill pregnant again? Shouldn’t speculate I know but that burgundy dress is sticking right out

 

[Woolmercardington]

Thought it was interesting that Hamza said when he first met Jowita he told her he wanted to get to the final. Even the most unassuming of celebs must have that competitive streak.

Vicky Gill pregnant again? Shouldn’t speculate I know but that burgundy dress is sticking right out

If she is, then her hormone-addled pregnancy brain might explain some of the more baffling costumes this series (Bo Peep, Evil Halloween Bee …)

 

[LennyBriscoe]

I may or may not have cried all the way through ITT

 

[Vanelope]

Can Ritchie replace Janette? Please?

Hamza, Vito and Nikita need a travel/ nature series and Carlos can join in for dance intervals- like when Jane Mcdonald breaks into song at the end of a cruise. Gio and Anton who?

Aw, I remember after Blackpool someone posted a story from the train they all took back to London, and Hamza and Vito were sitting together happily watching something on Hamza's laptop. I presume it was footage from Hamza's nature treks, or Vito's videos of his goat (rather than something unsavoury..).

I think I was more referencing his marketed image than who he actually is- he pays a PR agency to make him as broadly marketable (and therefore successful at selling stuff) as possible. So it’s a bit mad that they don’t seem to be advising him that all of that stuff isn’t greatly popular with his target market (when probably that image fit better when he first came on the show and was younger). It kind of doesn’t matter who he actually is, good marketing will make you into who you need to be. He pays for their expertise and advice after all.

He's got a talent agent who would advise him on jobs to take and what to do to get the jobs he wants. They might have some PR people on the team but he wouldn't be a big enough celeb to merit having to have his image handled by a PR agency. (I used to work in PR)
