The right four are in the final but it’ll be a huge shock if it’s not a Hamza or Helen win. I think Molly is technically the best dancer left by a fair bit but with her and Fleur being in 4 dance offs apiece, unless all the Will voters go for either of them then I think it’s highly unlikely.

I would like to see Hamza win but I don’t think it’s a foregone conclusion

I agree. The DM doing their usual baiting so maybe that will influence the Will voters to vote for Helen. Either way, I don't really think Hamza can lose. People go on Strictly to up their profile, and his has skyrocketed. He would be great as the new face of nature documentaries on the Beeb. Helen already has a good presenting career, but could do other things, and Fleur and Molly could move into musical theatre or adult TV for Molly. That is the point of Strictly.

absolutely agree.

imo, on pure dance ability then molly should win. but this show is so rarely about pure dance ability, so i can’t see past hamza or helen. i would have 1000% said hamza a few weeks back but i think it’s going to be closer.

it might be the most likeable group of finalists we’ve ever had though. i am happy for any one of them to win, which is rare 🤣

Possibly unpopular opinion but despite sometimes (often) finding Shirley and Anton annoying/wildly over marking I don’t miss Len or Bruno at all and wouldn’t thank anyone for bringing them back. The only former judge I miss is Darcey.

I don’t particularly miss them as individuals but I do miss the personality Bruno brought as this current panel is a bit boring, and as much as he was a moany old bat you could always count on Len to give proper critiques 🤣

i feel the exact way about bruno. i miss the energy he brings and his genuine excitement - i didn’t expect to miss him as much as i have! i don’t really miss len AS much because when he got in a grump i feel like his critique could be quite mean.

i feel like the panel would benefit from a youngish guy tbh. ideally in anton’s place. derek hough (imo) does well on dwts, maybe an ex male pro would give a nicer balance. i haven’t been impressed with anton this year really.

I agree, it's the right four finalists. Loved their interviews last night on ITT. I think it's definitely between Hamza and Helen, but if it goes to Fleur or Molly, that's okay too. I would so love to see how Vito or Carlos would react if they won. 😁

I wonder where Will's vote will go, possibly to Helen? I agree that Molly is the best dancer, I think this will open other possibilities for her, and I thought what she said last night when asked about winning was just perfect, and sincere.

Apart from Jayde, I liked all of them this year, and was delighted seeing the clip last night with all of them back for the final. Especially Tony! I was watching an old episode of Gogglebox last night which featured his first dance where he looked so uncomfortable. He went from strength to strength, imo, after that. He is MY winner 😁.

I always thought they missed a trick not employing Karen Hardy as a judge. She was a beautiful dancer and I enjoyed watching her on ITT when she came on to discuss the choreography from the weekend show.
I'm not a fan of Shirley, I think she definitely struggles to judge some of the female celebs fairly and her cougar behaviour towards the younger men is uncomfortable viewing-and if it was a male judge acting in that manner towards a female there would be uproar! - plus Anton has been a massive disappointment, I need an interpreter for some of his ohh ahhh critiques because I've no clue what he's going on about !!

i LOVE karen and she would have been wonderful.

anton has been very disappointing; aside from all the oohh and aaahh the constant dragging of his previous partners is just a bad look. and when he gives decent critique he never backs it up with his scores.

the energy balance of the judges is all over the place right now. shirley and anton almost cancel each other out, motsi (bless her) uses lots of words to not say very much but i do appreciate her positivity. craig is then a level above them. they need a bit of a shake up.
 
Absolutely agree. I do love Motsi, I think her comments are fair and her passion for the dancing is heartfelt which reflects in her ott outbursts ( plus i love seeing what wig and dress she is going to wear every show ! ) . And Craig imo gives the most honest comments which he backs up with his scoring plus I think he's mellowed. He's nowhere near as vicious as he once was!

If there was ever a celeb that deserved the Richie-treatment, it’s Jayde (unlike, y’know, Richie…)

I had thought that Karen and Jayde got on very well but when I went back to Karen's farewell post for Jayde she posted a video of the two of them and a caption that reads:

Thank you so much to all the fans who supported @msjaydeadams and myself during our strictly journey.
.
We loved every second ♥️
.
Sending all the love to all the couples left in the competition.
Smash it ♥️

so nothing specific about Jayde, and I don't think she's mentioned her again. Very elegantly shaded!

it was some elegant shade! especially when (to my memory) karen has always written very warm and genuine posts about her partners when their strictly time ends. i remember her post to greg last year being lovely.

very telling!! 🤣
