We had reached our limit of 1,000 messages.

I would like to see AJ and Kai win- tonight was really good but I also saw zilch in John and Johannes's Couples Choice. I did enjoy his jive. I did not vote for anybody. I also think the dance-off will be between Rhys and John and John will be saved.

OMG Charleygirl5 I really hope not. I believe Rhys is much better than John.

Calendargirl Sun 12-Dec-21 07:14:47

I will stick my neck out and say it’s a foregone conclusion that Rose and Giovanni will win next week, which is probably fair as she has consistently given a good performance week on week, whereas AJ has had a couple of blips.

A shame, as AJ would have been a winner any other year.

Yes, I don't think we've touched on this before but maybe being deaf actually makes for far more precision in Rose's dancing. It's clean, without being sharp. She never makes a mistake and as I said earlier, she makes it look effortless. I've wanted her to win from day One.

I like John and Johannes and the couples choice was different from their usual gyrating hips and wiggling bottoms routines , however I have to confess to prefer watching the wiggling bottoms than the attempt at ballet they chose. Im sure Rose and Giovanni will win barring any accidents.

Although I’ve never watched Strictly, I’ve just discovered Kai was born and brought up 4 miles away from us!

It wasn't ballet.

vegansrock Sun 12-Dec-21 08:21:14

I think it was contemporary dance which can be called a sort of modern ballet , I didn’t mean classical Alegrias

Josianne Sun 12-Dec-21 08:21:16

I appreciated the J & J dance for its drama and story telling, but I'm not a huge fan of these dances which stray so far from ballroom where I feel safer.

Josianne Sun 12-Dec-21 08:25:16

As a point of interest, did you notice that most of Rhys' messages were from little kids, the Cbeebies brigade? Its lovely he is inspiring them to dance, but being so young are they actually the ones who will vote?

Aye, ok. ?

Let's not fall out.

Gwyneth Sun 12-Dec-21 09:15:24

Definitely Rose and AJ in the final and for me Rhys rather than John. I don’t feel John has developed as much as Rhys throughout the series.

Grandmadinosaur Sun 12-Dec-21 10:36:04

I haven’t caught up with latest posts on here yet so ? nobody has put a spoiler on.

I am so cross with myself. I’ve just been on FB and the first thing that comes up on SCD page is a post by someone announcing the finalists. Grrrr knew I should have stayed off it.

Josianne Sun 12-Dec-21 10:41:56

Noooooo! Poor you!

I'm drowning everything out with the roar of F1 this afternoon so I don't read or hear anything.
Long dog walk now.

Mollygo Sun 12-Dec-21 11:08:07

Don’t worry Grandmadinosaur, there aren’t any official announcements yet, only speculation.
How many of us on here could predict who are the three finalists will be and be right.

TillyTrotter Sun 12-Dec-21 16:09:01

I don’t need to be right about the final 3, I just like the way we can chat about it on this thread and put ideas forward as to who it might be ?

Josianne Sun 12-Dec-21 16:13:56

And I like the way I can calm down a bit tonight on here after the F1 race, (still cross!) Unless of course Rose leaves then I will be distraught!

Kali2 Sun 12-Dec-21 16:16:25

Honestly, just wouldn't know how to choose ...

Grannynannywanny Sun 12-Dec-21 18:38:14

I’ve just caught up with last nights show and loved it. I thought AJ and Kai were fabulous tonight, especially their quick step. Rose and Giovanni’s waltz was beautiful. I hope AJ and Rose make it to the final with Rhys. I feel John and Johannes have peaked and their time might be up.

Charleygirl5 Sun 12-Dec-21 18:44:46

We will soon find out who is on their way home. I cannot believe we have the final next week and then zilch for a year. They must, next year, as used to happen, show everything on the same night and then there will be no spoilers.

Grandmadinosaur Sun 12-Dec-21 19:43:04

Yes the series seems to have flown by Charleygirl .
We also have the Christmas special and I’m booked to see the tour in February.

grannyactivist Sun 12-Dec-21 19:57:54

Well I disagreed with the judges. ☹️

EllanVannin Sun 12-Dec-21 19:58:56

As predicted.

Sparklefizz Sun 12-Dec-21 19:59:05

Me too. Rhys should have gone through.

TillyTrotter Sun 12-Dec-21 20:00:19

My lip trembled with Rhys’s ?
He is a super dancer and any other year would have made the final but the competition has been fierce this year.
John & Johannes know they are going into the final as the underdogs since the public didn’t save them and next week the Judges don’t get a vote.
