Jonnie and Gemma are the ones that are stealing the "journey" angle from her. She really needs to set herself apart from the middlers. It's hard to know whether or not she's getting another Latin or Ballroom next week. It could go either way. I think she will be much better at Ballroom, so hopefully this is it. Davood and Charlotte were in the bottom two this week with Charlotte out so maybe. Hey guys btw! <3

I think if Mollie can get back into the 30s next week and progress from there, she still stands a good chance of making the finals or at least the semis.

It's a bit scary because some of the dances she will have to do in the upcoming weeks are quite a bit tricky.... Charleston could be a challenge for her (unless she gets it for Halloween - so maybe just like Gemma during Movie Week, her lack of technique will be hidden by the performance value), hips action was lacking in her Salsa, so I think she will struggle with the Cha Cha as well. The Samba is a dance everyone fears for some reason. (As far as Latin go, I think she might have a decent Rumba in her. Argentine Tango too. ) The good thing is that her remaining Ballroom could be good : Waltz, Viennese Waltz, Foxtrot...and Possibly Quickstep, I'm not sure yet how she will perform in that one.

She at least beat Davood in the vote this week which was surprising! Hunky (very hunky in this case x) men tend to get lots of vote.

Not 100% sure, but I think she is signed to a modelling agency...which is enough to be considered a model, I suppose. QUOTE(SeanmanjiGrey @ Oct 15 2017, 05:25 PM) Where has Mollie come in previous weeks in terms of performances? Mollie gets a lot of traction on YouTube, she's usually in the top half of the most watched performances, even with Ballroom which is surprising (Latin are always MUCH popular). But, somehow, when BBC Strictly posts her performances on Twitter or Facebook, she's usually in the second half - in fact, quite near the bottom most of the times. So it's quite hard to gauge her popularity properly. ( I can only suggest that everyone takes the time to like and reblog/share her performances if you guys have a Twitter and Facebook account ). Youtube Views Week 1: 3rd (Latin) Week 2: 6th (Ballroom) Week 3: 6th (Ballroom) Week 4: 4th (Latin) (but could go 3rd as she's up against Jonnie's Ballroom number) I do want to point out that Charlotte has managed to be higher than her on Week 2 and 3 based purely on the total wreck her performances were. Now she's out of the competition, so that shouldn't happen anymore. Next week Mollie has a Viennese Waltz. It could go both ways. Either it's a tad sterile, so it gets something like 27 to 31 and doesn't get much traction on YouTube because it's too 'simple', or she does a truly beautiful and classy number that gets her a good score (32-36) and might give her a lot of views despite the fact that it's Ballroom.

QUOTE(Hurricane @ Oct 15 2017, 12:04 AM) Hmm Davood is a goner, let's be real. I know that now Really surprised at him being bottom 2, I had it in my head it might be Mollie when the time went on and she still wasn't safe.

get me started, hot like fire Joined: 21 June 2012 Posts: 6,221 User: 17,262	My biggest complaint is that it's hard to properly make your mark on the competition (or at least, the public!) with a Ballroom number - which I think is a shame (I usually prefer those as I find them beautiful). Also, this week was the perfect moment for her to set herself apart, and Week 5 or 6 is a bit too late to do so... Gemma has been extremely lucky and I think that's why she will get a place in the top 4 and Mollie won't. Gemma had a Charleston during Movie Week and hid the fact she couldn't do swivel with a high-performance value, and a gimmick (Baloo and all) and it really gave her traction that week, and she followed that with a good and intense Paso Doble. It was the perfect one-two punch. Mollie followed a weird Cersei-in-a-country-outfit tribute with a mild Salsa. Look, I'm hoping the Viennese Waltz is beautiful and she gets a good score, but I'm not getting my hopes too high and I have definitely adjusted my expectations now.

You know she would come alive then I mean, 'Subeme La Radio' is a bop in itself, but I get it. Funnily enough, they gave Susan a Little Mix song this week. Strategy-wise, I don't think Mollie needs those. Being in a pop band and being partnered with the youngest pro in the competition, she's already appealing to the much younger audience of the show. So it's nice that she's getting classic (and older) songs that can appeal to a older generation that might not be looking at her otherwise.

I don't know about the exact numbers, but I know they don't give you the big numbers right away as some people would take the cash and just do f*** all and get eliminated first to get out of it.

Brown cow, stunning! Joined: 7 December 2009 Posts: 67,176 User: 10,139	She did well this week! If only there'd been a fourth judge to replace Bruno in his absence she could have got another 8 or 9 and ended up on a solid 32/33 but 24/30 is very good! I think she's definitely more in her element with more "classy" slow dances but with her personality I'd also love to see her getting a pop banger to dance to. Same score as Aston this week!! I know he's peaked earlier and is sort of plateauing a bit, but she is definitely going in the right direction. EDIT: Same score as Gemma too!

I'm thinking she's in the bottom 2 tonight. Could be against someone who was really good, in fact. This post has been edited by Hurricane: 21st October 2017, 08:00 PM
