I can’t deal with this 😂😂 he looks so pretentious
 
I thought Ellie may win the tour after winning the show as she seemed to have a lot of likeability across the board but alas it seems the trajectory of recent years of the winner of the show not winning the tour has continued. From watching the tour in person it did seem Layton and Bobby had more crowd pleasing dances and seemed to be able to jeer up and entertain the crowd more.

I'm still surprised Will won more dates than Hamza last year! 🤣

In the politest possible way, I feel like both Hamza & Ellie were very plain in their personality/dancing in the arena. That regular guy/girl appeal worked on the main show but I think the audience preferred those with a bit extra on tour. The real successful winners who got both the main show and tour wins were always ones with that extra something, or failing that, hot men.

Yeah I agree personality wise Ellie and Hamza fade more into the background. After seeing this years tour in person Bobby and Layton's dances were overall more exciting plus combined with their personalities and the likability of the partnerships they were in it was more memorable than Ellie's. Maybe the whole Ellie and Vito of ''Are they going to get together or not?'' during the tv show helped push more votes but seeing as that's not what happened then it sort of was like a led balloon; sort of the same with Hamza and Jowita last year. I didn't see the tour last year so cant comment on what it was like in person but I would have thought based on his dances alone it would have been enough for Hamza to win the tour.

Rose and Kelvin were the last main show and tour winners; they both won for obvious different reasons but what they both had in common was both of their series didn't have the most exciting contestants to give them a run for their money on the show or on the tour.

She’s absolutely phenomenal. I’ve got a three-decade deficit on her and I absolutely could not do that!

This just screams that KFG has realised he’s vanilla as duck, so has stuck a pair of heels on to try to look like he might be interestingly ‘fluid’.

He’s such a desperate ‘pick me’.

I think also those who have won the actual show don’t care as much about the tour, and generally the tour is a way for people to vote for those who didn’t win as a sort of compensation. Layton is a natural performer hence his wins and Bobby is very engaged with the audience. I think Helen’s win last year was down to people loving her on the show though as she didn’t light up the arenas as much as say fleur

I don't remember any 'are they or aren't they?' with Hamza and Jowita? people just really seemed to like their rapport. There was more tabloidy stuff pushing Dianne and Bobby this year than Hamza and J.

I didn't really warm to the Kai/Helen partnership that much on tour last year but I guess you can never predict what people will latch onto, and she had a fairly big 'wuzrobbed' vote on tour I think.

It felt like it more towards the end especially but then I guess the tabloids picked up on it more after the final when the 'heartbroken' reports came out when Jowita was pictured with Giovanni.

I actually forgot Helen was partnered with Kai on tour; which makes it more odd as she wasn't dancing in her original partnership but she really picked up steam towards the end of the tv show run so thats why she probably garnered more tour votes.

Hearing Layton say he didn’t expect to win any is actually sad, instead the complete opposite happened

Well this made me cry at 11pm on a Sunday night 😭 I’m so happy for them that they’ve felt so much love on tour. They are one of the best pairings Strictly have had & they deserved to be celebrated for the incredible partnership they formed. I really think Strictly has been the absolute making of Layton - I can’t wait to see what he does next.
