duck OFF YOU BEG

"zero dancing background" again.

We see you, Dianne. So sly to the other two finalists.

God, would I love Juliet to ban Dianne from her group 💪
They are lapping it up. Really underhand tactics to get a win and totally disrespectful to not only the other couples but also to her partner. I’m sure Bobby would want people to vote for him based on his performances not from his ‘professional’ trying to get votes like this.
 
I've thought for a while now that if Strictly happen to have a wheelchair user as a celeb, Nikita will be their pro. He's more than proved he can adapt his choreography and he seems to have the right attitude.
I do think Nikita would be great as he has shown he can adapt his choreography, but at the same time it would be nice to see one of the other pros get the chance to show what they can do. I do think going forward though that Nikita will be a very popular pro that is requested by celebs taking part, this series has been the making of him.
 
My 80 year old mother is a die hard fan and it’s difficult to have a discussion with her about anything critically because she thinks everything is, to quote Anton ‘quite marvellous’

She did say however that everyone giving their grief stories shouldn’t be allowed and put her off voting for that couple. In her words ‘I’m on to them, trying to win my vote by making me cry’. So let’s hope there’s loads more like her who’s also ‘on to them’ and won’t vote for Bobby’s CC.
 
Someone is stepping up their campaign by not just replying to other posts…

Okay this pisses me off no end. I don't like that Facebook group, going by what you have shared here. I don't think anyone should be engaging with a page like that that is such a free for all for hate (even it's subtly hidden) but an actual Strictly professional should NOT be allowed post tit like that.

It's not on. It's not fair to Bobby, she's not doing her job right. I understand she's going through a hard time but this isn't it. I spent this whole series thinking Bobby can't dance, this weekend I realised he could, maybe if he had a different professional he could have been a winner but this is not how you win Dianne.

She needs to go.

He definitely has the right attitude. And a great imagination. I haven't loved all his routines this year, found a lot of them to be too "busy" in a way that I could feel like he tried to fit an extra 3 or 4 things in that he could have done without 🤣🤣 but he would be excellent in a scenario like this! And you would know he would make that celebrity feel on top of the world the whole time 🩷🩷🩷 I love him!
 
Can you really be an underdog when you're a young, popular actor from a soap with an emotional backstory, who came into the show as bookies favourite?

I wouldn't necessarily say having dance experience gives you the only advantage. Having broad public appeal is also a really good start.
Yes there’s a reason why we all thought Bobby could be a winner as soon as he was announced. Having a good backstory, being a non-dancer are advantages, not disadvantages (as long as you can move).

Oh she’s back! Di, stop! What a leading question (tempted to reply that I vote for the hot Italian pro who may or not be shagging his partner and see what see says..)

TELL ME I'M GOING TO WIN! Don't you have enough to be getting on with this week Di? She's being completely destructive and careless.

First thing in the morning during the week of the final she shouldn’t even be thinking of that. She should be focussing on Bobby and their performances, not how to make sure that people vote for them so she can win regardless of how he actually dances!

If she wants to engage fans then she needs to be posting on her page not going into groups in a blatant attempt to manipulate the votes.

If I was Vito or Nikita I would be furious at this.
 
Neither is going up against a professional dancer and his pro.
Not the right way to do things but if there arent any rules against it then she isnt doing anything wrong
By saying he's never danced

Someone would have had to go looking for that comment in order to moan about it.
Personally I think they are two very different issues. No pro should be posting on that Facebook page like this.

I am one of the people who doesn't feel Layton should win because of his extensive background in dance. It's very different to Ellie having ballet classes as a child. It was his job for two full years. To me that is a totally different advantage. I also haven't exactly loved his dances this year, I think the Charleston was absolutely brilliant and the AT but felt their black pool performance and last week was a hot mess.

I think Dianne's behaviour is embarrassing and she should be pulled up on it. It's not professional.
 
I'm pretty sure Dianne is dyslexic so it's not exactly her fault if she spells something wrong.
That is why I suggested asking someone else to proof read for her. It certainly wasn't meant as a criticism of anyone who has dyslexia. If she was diagnosed in school then she would/should have had learning support in class so there is absolutely no shame in asking for assistance.
 
I think it's the leading nature of that post that annoyed me (and I didn't go looking for it, it popped up on the FB group - totally different thing if she's posting on her own page). 'Just wondering.. do you prefer perfection or progress?'

Put the phone down! Even Bobby called her out on her phone use during rehearsals.
