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!

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 ?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Aye, ok. ?

Let's not fall out.

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?

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.

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.

It wasn't ballet.

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

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.

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.

Sweetpeasue Sat 11-Dec-21 23:19:32

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

Charleygirl5 Sat 11-Dec-21 22:46:12

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.

Sweetpeasue Sat 11-Dec-21 22:36:43

I agree*kissngate * I feel Rhys is much better than John. Especially since Rhys has been able to control his emotions a little more while dancing.

kissngate Sat 11-Dec-21 22:29:58

AJ was my favourite tonight followed by Rose. Rhys was unlucky to do a samba however he tried his best. Did not like John's couples choice and as for his jive he barely did any steps but showed off with some flicks. Sorry but he isn't half as good as Rhys although it's likely to be Rhys sent home. Rose or AJ to win.

Kim19 Sat 11-Dec-21 22:12:41

I was going to give all of my votes to AJ but I simply had to give one of them to Rose. Both couples quite wonderful. The other two were pretty good too but felt the men were more about themselves than their dancing.

Hellogirl1 Sat 11-Dec-21 22:04:46

I personally couldn`t see why the judges were so enamoured of John and Johannes`s Couples Choice, I thought it was boring. And their jive only seemed like a jive for the second half. But what do I know?

BigBertha1 Sat 11-Dec-21 22:03:01

Rose's Argentine Tango was perfection but I might add A's rhumba was very moving.

comment from the Guardian blogger on Rhys:

Shirley’s going full shimmy and she’s not even wearing a sports bra, it’s pure danger

Forsythia Sat 11-Dec-21 21:10:34

I thought they were all wonderful and can’t predict the dance off. A really high standard all round.
As for Anton, I suppose he’s trying to develop a persona, like Craig and Bruno, to ensure he stays next year as I read Bruno is angling to return.

TillyTrotter Sat 11-Dec-21 21:04:44

It was a mighty semi-final wasn’t it?
I voted for Rose, AJ and John so by default I am saying Rhys to leave.
If Rose and Gio dance to the standard they did tonight I think they will be the worthy winners next week.
A J is a winner too - she has a career pretty much assured in the West End if she wants it I would imagine.
