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 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.

Parsley3 Sun 12-Dec-21 21:03:31

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

Alegrias1 Sun 12-Dec-21 21:01:01

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. smile

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

Sweetpeasue Sun 12-Dec-21 20:18:40

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. ?

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

Calistemon Sun 12-Dec-21 20:14:39

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

Sparklefizz Sun 12-Dec-21 20:14:23

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.

muse Sun 12-Dec-21 20:13:02

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

eazybee Sun 12-Dec-21 20:12:28

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.

Well I disagreed with the judges. ☹️

Me too.

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

But what do I know?

So did I. Gutted for Rhys.

Kali2 Sun 12-Dec-21 20:08:59

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

lavenderzen Sun 12-Dec-21 20:03:44

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!!)

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

Grandmabatty Sun 12-Dec-21 20:00:20

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

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.

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

Me too. Rhys should have gone through.

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

As predicted.

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.

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.

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.

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

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