Last week's postponed Strictly is on tonight at 7pm. Apparently Rose & Giovanni will be reprising their winning routine.

Your DH isn't the RevChris111111111 is he? The one who keeps sending pms to other women on GN? 😲

Joseanne Sat 17-Dec-22 17:40:07

Shhh, I was supposed to go and support my DH at yet another cathedral Advent Service this evening, but I have politely excused myself!! In favour of the Strictly final, of course. My excuse is, I'm a dancer, not a singer ...... and it's cold out there!

I'll definitely be watching and voting, although I hope there's not too much gushing in between.

I'd like Helen to win and plan to give all my 3 votes to her unless one of the others does something fabulous tonight.

See you later. We're almost at the end of this thread. We might need to start a new one just for the Final.

Well, it’s the final tonight.

2.5 hours!

I find the final a bit tedious, tbh, 3 dances for each couple, the judges gush over all of them, and it seems to go on and on.

But I shall be watching, and voting, not sure who I want to win.

Joseanne Fri 16-Dec-22 09:50:02

I was thinking, if Helen and Gorka can pull off that one gasp moment like in the Rose and Giovanni dance, then they will win. The public are very reactive.

Glad Will has gone. Those glowering looks whenever he got criticism. Bet he's not easy to live with.

Yes, Joseanne - loved Giovanni's dance with Katya while Lewis Capaldi was singing. Also really like that song which I'm hearing a lot on the radio.

Sparklefizz Tue 13-Dec-22 11:02:42

Oh no. Photos of Will and Nancy sobbing on It Takes Two after their eviction. As a pro dancer, Nancy must have experienced times when she didn't always win. Disappointing, yes, but not heartbreaking.

Will ... well he cries at everything. He's an actor.

Phew.

Joseanne Mon 12-Dec-22 23:07:01

I was trying to do a count up; is it 3 of the new pro dancers in the final?
Giovanni was brilliant as usual in the dance alongside the singer. He covers the floor with his partner so well.

BigBertha1 Mon 12-Dec-22 22:35:54

I really couldn't be bothered to watch it tonight and it clashed with better probs so I recorded and just watched the end. I think if Will had made a better choice for his couple choice he might have stayed in. It was awful to watch.

I’m glad Fleur is through to the final. But I thought her black flat shoes were unflattering and made her look a little heavy footed.

Agree, thought they looked like black school plimsolls.

eazybee Mon 12-Dec-22 21:03:02

I would have preferred Will and Nancy to Molly and her partner.

Sara1954 Mon 12-Dec-22 21:01:48

I think it was the correct choice, but I really didn’t like Wills style of dance on Sunday, I wasn’t too bothered because my three favourites were through.

gillgran Mon 12-Dec-22 21:01:46

I'm looking forward to the Final, I assume it's back to Saturday night next week.

Sweetpeasue Mon 12-Dec-22 21:00:55

It was right decision for Will to leave. Glad about those who are in the Final.

Grannynannywanny Mon 12-Dec-22 20:59:48

Joseanne Mon 12-Dec-22 20:57:55

Thank goodness Shirley saw sense. Right decision.

Everyone crying, are they trying to compete with Ronaldo?

Callistemon21 Mon 12-Dec-22 20:56:33

Fleur was stompy and clunky.

I would have saved Will.

Sparklefizz Mon 12-Dec-22 20:56:13

Yes, I thought Shirley might save Will too, based on her treatment of Fleur earlier in the series. Phew!

Sara1954 Mon 12-Dec-22 20:56:08

Poor Nancy

Grannynannywanny Mon 12-Dec-22 20:54:55

I thought for a moment Shirley was going to save Will.

Calendargirl Mon 12-Dec-22 20:54:43

I would have laid money on Anton voting for Will.

Making Shirley decide.

Adding tension.

Sparklefizz Mon 12-Dec-22 20:49:29

I'm sorry but to me Will's dance looks like "Dad Dancing".
