I was wondering about that myself - (a) who is the tory 'bird' (have we gone back to 1970?) and (b) how do we know anything about her politics? The same thing seems to happen on the Bake Off thread where people are accused of being Tories.

Does me head in all this to be honest. Going back to Strictly I think Dev was unlucky in having a dance he wasn't as relaxed with. Certain type of dances don't suit people. I can actually see other favourites go out if the general standard stays as it is.

Yeah - he was in that dangerous position where he was clear of the danger zone, but not high enough to be sure. He possibly doesn't have that big a fanbase who would also watch Strictly, so he fell into the bottom two and was unlucky enough to have an opponent who was not too bad. I can't stand all of the conspiracy theories that follow when someone like Dev goes out.

If some of the judges hadn't been smoking a rather strong strain of weed or worse on Saturday, though, giving the likes of David James an 8 (!) and 'Magic' Mike a 9, then Dev would've had more points on the board and been less likely to fall into the bottom two.

I'm not so sure - I thought David James deserved to stay on as his improvement since last week was amazing. Mike Bushell didn't deserve a 9, but he's very popular due to his BBC Breakfast appearances and I think the public vote will keep him on for a while yet. I thought Alex Scott should've been in the dance off.

Genius idea to get injured in training. That way you don't have to perform and still go through to next week.

Was only on last week cos Bruno was on holiday.

AJ and his lass to win or the Viscount. Reckon it'll be AJ due to likability as I don't think the posh girls popular due to being in bottom 2 etc but based on talent(ones I've seen) I'd go for them two doubles

The commercial and lyrical dances and the over marking for them is a bit annoying.

What have the judges been smoking? Wrong person goes home again.

I watched both their dances tonight, I just thought Mike gave more of himself in that performance, whereas Catherine just did what she had too. So in a way I do understand why he got the vote over her.

It was a hard one to call - I feel a bit sad because I do like Johannes. I thought perhaps he was so good he makes his partner look worse than she was. Mike probably improved the most on the night.

Red Viper · « **Reply #213 on:** October 28, 2019, 01:39:29 pm »

They were both bad in the dance off. She was just really, really, really bad. Think she went wrong at least four or five times.

Red Viper · « **Reply #214 on:** December 9, 2019, 09:54:46 am »

Bit of a shame it's only ringers in the final this year.

sinnermichael · « **Reply #215 on:** December 14, 2019, 03:17:11 pm »

Kelvin and Oti will win this. It's a popularity contest as much as a dance contest and they're the most popular couple, hence they've never been in the bottom two. The judges scores on the night are largely irrelevant.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #216 on:** December 14, 2019, 07:41:45 pm »

I like Karim best but in truth any of them would deserve it. You can't ignore the Anton factor either. I would say Karim is the least popular one for whatever reason.

He is the best, and most likeable.

But the masses like their soap stars.

Kelvin should win it but I have a soft spot for Anton and it wouldn't surprise me if he nicks it at the death [emoji16]

Used all my 6 votes for Kelvin and Oti. She's so beautiful and should have won a couple of years ago

And I'm not over it

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #220 on:** December 14, 2019, 08:37:23 pm »

I have to say now I've really enjoyed this final and I don't really mind who of the boys wins. I think Kelvin probably will, but all three have done themselves proud tonight. I really enjoyed the show dances because they were all about dancing, not throwing themselves around with endless lifts. It's been a really enjoyable series this one.

He's off CBeebies, not got the fame of the other two.

Both of the blokes are better than the one off Eastenders, but Anton always getting the duffers could sway the voting towards them tonight. Never underestimate the British public where voting is concerned

Red Viper · « **Reply #222 on:** December 14, 2019, 09:33:23 pm »

Can't argue with that. The show dance alone was worthy of winning any series.

I need to see Jessica Ennis Hill on this show next year and my life will be complete.

Go in peace to love and serve the Lord (until the sound of Satan returns sometime in bloody September ffs).

Bill Bailey on it this year should be a good laugh.

Nicola Adams will also be part of the show's first ever same sex couple.

I see Jason Bell from the NFL show is on this year. Anyone who watches the NFL show (which is bloody great btw) will know Osi is going to rip him to shreds EVERY week

Yeah they’re a great double act, as a fairly part time NFL watcher they’re both really good at explaining things to idiots.

Should be cracking television this series - with the hosts saying how many times people were tested before and after each segway clip, and constantly talking about procedures etc. We get it...

liverbloke · « **Reply #236 on:** October 20, 2020, 08:24:37 am »

my girl made me watch this a few years back and I have to say that I really enjoyed it

she even got me to a dance class before the lockdown - man that was embarrassing and all the other blokes looked like they'd be press-ganged into going to

but I enjoyed dancing with my girl - if you could call it dancing

be great if Klopp did go on it

and the (small) controversy about 2 girls dancing together - friggin ell women have been dancing together for as long as I know at family dos and clubs

now having 2 men would've been more controversial for the BBC but maybe that's to come next year

but to sound controversial myself here, I think if 2 men, or women, are dancing together then the dances have to be made for those sexes as the majority of dances are for a man and a woman and can look 'awkward' when attempted by same sexes - to me anyway

Last year during one of the music acts on the results show, Graziano Di Prima and Johannes Radebe danced together. Apparently it received about 200 complaints from idiots who found it 'offensive', but overall, it got a positive response.

yeh I saw that - thought it great and because that dance was choreographed for them then it wasn't awkward at all

I remember the innocence of my little nephews dancing together at one wedding - but not forgetting of course that at age they hated girls anyway

Personally I don't see the point of it, it's just being done to tick a diversity box, Dancing on Ice had a male couple, Strictly now has an all female couple.
