Strictly, Yay! Continued .....

I called it last night but can't say that pleases me

Well I disagreed with the judges. ☹️

Me too.

Does anyone else think the judges had probably made their minds up before the dance off?

I felt sad for Rhys tonight, not even sure it was the right result now. I think as someone has just said John & Johanas peaked too early.
Anyway it is what it is, looking forward to next week.
(At the moment I have the dulcet tones of Bozza in my ear!!)

Me too.

John's dance was good but a bit more heavy-footed than Rhys's.

But what do I know?

Well I for one wouldn't have liked to have to make that decision.

So did I. Gutted for Rhys.

Wrong decision in my opinion, but they were unanimous.

I wish the judges decided the final, not the public as the pressure groups will now go into operation.

Wish all four could have been in the final but regardless of what happened tonight, the winner next week, I hope, is Rose.

I think Rhys will be snapped up by some promoter. He could appear in Grease or West Side Story or any of those shows. He's a terrific dancer with boundless energy.

I loved his energetic farewell dance.

DH said he could have danced like John (for about 30 seconds).
Should I challenge him?

Set up.
Rhys is a much better dancer than John.

Terrible decision, I felt. Thought Rhys Samba had more content than John's Jive.
Quite low tonight. Strictly has been a wonderful series this year and has been something to look forward to. The final next week will be amazing though and look forward to the showdances.
Great night--all finished off with a sombre note by BJ on the expected next wave. ?

The final is as predicted, although I would like to have seen Rhys go though.

I'm going to go against the grain, I'm really happy the boys went through. I never enjoyed watching Rhys dance although I can see how good a dancer he is.

But Rose to win next week.

I didn’t like John’s dance at all. It will be a close contest between Rose and AJ next week.

I think it was the right decision. Rhys has done brilliantly well but I thought John was better.

And I thought the race was the best one I've seen for a long time and Max drove brilliantly.

Rhys was never going through to the final. The Beeb now have their dream team.

A gay couple, a black TV presenter and a deaf contestant. Two black TV presenters would have upset the balance.

Cynical moi? ??

I’m in team John - based on the dance off he was technically better IMHO. Rhys great too though, close call.

I must be cynical too. Thought that for a bit merlotgran.

I think as far as the gay coupling goes, it was far more successful with the boys this time round than with the girls last time, though to be fair the girls were stopped in their tracks with covid. I wonder if it will be a permanent thing?

the gay coupling

Do you mean the same-sex couple?

Katya's not gay.

I thought the same as Merlot, but substituted "northern" for "black"

I could not choose last night between John and Rhys. I think unless Rose falls she will win because she has a large following from her TV days and now the deaf community.

I also do not think it should be the public's decision- we obviously miss the odd step that goes wrong. I do not think it should be down to personality although they all are superb dancers. My vote is with AJ.

OK

Sorry Alegrias my first thing in the morning eyes just looked at merlot's above comment in the box.
