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

Hamza has been my number 1 since week 1 but Helen was my favourite last night. I do like her.

Kim19 Sat 03-Dec-22 09:08:47

Molllie, Helen & Fleur for me. Thought Hamza was really poor.

Allsorts Sat 03-Dec-22 16:09:29

Helen for me, I’ve been where she’s been and I just want to hug her, she’s done so well.

Joseanne Sat 03-Dec-22 17:34:03

I watched Helen on my phone in time for the results programme. You are all right, just wow! Such new found confidence. I'll go back and watch it on the TV later to get the full effect.

Sparklefizz Sat 03-Dec-22 17:38:49

I've just watched it again too Joseanne - absolutely fabulous and so different for a Couples Choice.

Joseanne Sat 03-Dec-22 17:41:45

I liked the cheeky wave she did in defiance.

Sparklefizz Sat 03-Dec-22 17:52:49

Yes Joseanne, I did too.
Well, the two I wanted to go through are through, so I'm a happy bunny.

Mollygo Sat 03-Dec-22 17:54:43

So Mollymoo is in the dance off again! Obviously the public don’t vote for her, but she was far better than Hamza this week.

Joseanne Sat 03-Dec-22 17:55:21

Poor Molly. I could feel what I think was going through her mind. I've always liked her myself.

Sparklefizz Sat 03-Dec-22 17:57:25

Yes, I agree that Molly was definitely better than Hamza this week.

Sparklefizz Sat 03-Dec-22 18:17:56

I'd like a follow-up in a few years' time to see if people really are "friends for life" ! I don't like all that gushing.

sad
So what do I know?
I thought Kym was fantastic and suspect bias in favour of Hamza because he is male, cuddly, outwardly the antithesis of a dancer -of course nice with it but is that enough?
Kym danced him into a cocked hat tonight.
NB she is a Gran ! Are you on GN, Kym? ? Respect!

rafichagran Sat 03-Dec-22 18:20:06

Right one went tonight. I dont agree what posters are saying about Hamza though. I enjoyed his dance.

TillyTrotter Sat 03-Dec-22 18:27:33

It was Kym’s week to go. She has been nervous in the earlier weeks like Helen, but whereas Helen let go last night Kym seemed too contained.
Bring on the Semi - Final 👏

TillyTrotter Sat 03-Dec-22 18:29:15

I feel for Mollie, she does nothing wrong but doesn’t pick up the public votes like others.

Grandmabatty Sat 03-Dec-22 18:34:53

I quite agree Tilly I felt Kym was holding back and her dance needed more exuberance.

Sparklefizz Sat 03-Dec-22 18:39:47

I think what doesn't help Molly is that she went to the Sylvia Young Theatre School and actually took the cameras there for a film clip, so none of us are in any doubt, and maybe the public feel she has a head start. I don't know, I'm only guessing.

Someone had to go tonight - in my mind it was either Kym or Hamza.

lixy Sat 03-Dec-22 18:40:59

I felt that the right one went tonight. I did think Kym needed a bit more oomph, but then she has had Covid which wipes most people out for at least a week.

GD is here and watched with us - her mouth fell open at learning Kym is a gran - and she was quickly reminded to be very careful about what she had to say!!

Calendargirl Sat 03-Dec-22 18:46:05

Well, out of the remaining five, to my mind Hamza is now the worst dancer, so think next week will be interesting.

TillyTrotter Sat 03-Dec-22 18:53:48

2 dances to polish for next week’s show too. The younger Celebs sometimes find it easier to remember the routines.
Will is the oldest competitor now but he is an actor so he is used to learning lines which may help him.
I think one is a dance they have done before plus a new one, but not sure about that.

MerylStreep Sat 03-Dec-22 18:54:26

Molly hasn’t got the adult following that the others have.
I would have bet the bungalow that Anton would vote for Kim.

Joseanne Sat 03-Dec-22 18:55:32

Did I hear right it is on Sunday next week? If so do we get the results the same night?

Joseanne Sat 03-Dec-22 18:56:24

Anton did it for the suspense moment!

Grandmadinosaur Sat 03-Dec-22 19:01:12

The result show is on Monday 12th at 8.15 Joseanne

gillgran Sat 03-Dec-22 19:39:31

Always a shame, as it gets towards the end when all the dancers are good, when they go out.
I enjoyed the results show, already looking forward to next week.
(how great to watch, when our TV only seems to be showing football at the moment, at least when DH is home!!)
