I adored Dev this week, they looked like they had so much fun performing and that feels more important than anything I think. Also enjoyed seeing basically everyone improve on the last two weeks besides Aneeka (I love her personality but that was cringe to watch :lol:). I’m not a huge fan of David but I hope he doesn’t have to dance off for a third week in a row.

 

With this being the first time I’m genuinely watching the show all the way through I’m a bit surprised by how likeable almost every contestant is. I’m so used to overly dramatic reality shows where each episode has villains or people to root against or forced drama, but this is just pure enjoyment all around that’s so peaceful to watch. I love how it’s a huge event of a show too, something to look forward to every Sunday/Monday for me :heart:

 

At this point I can see Catherine, Kelvin, Michelle easily making it to the end. Idk how well non-UK celebs fare on here but she seems very popular with judges and audiences so far. Saffron, Alex, and Chris I would love to grow too as personal favourites. I would love for Will to go far also

Next week's songs/dances:

 

Alex & Neil - Tango (Go Your Own Way)

Catherine & Johannes - Charleston (Single Ladies)

Chris & Karen - Jive (Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting)

Daivd & Nadiya - Quickstep (From Now On)

Dev & Dianna - Cha Cha (Dancing With A Stranger)

Emma B & Anton - Viennese Waltz (Send In The Clowns)

Emma W & Aljaz - Jive (Kids In America)

Kelvin & Oti - Rumba (Ain't No Sunshine)

Michelle & Giovanni - Salsa (Quimbara)

Mike & Katya - Quickstep (Come On Eileen)

Saffron & AJ - Contemporary (Because You Loved Me)

Will & Janette - Foxtrot (Senorita)

 

A lot of strange choices compared to the dances they're doing but I'm looking forward to Michelle's salsa for sure *.*

Ashley Roberts made the final last year (albeit having been in the dance-off 3 times despite being objectively the best dancer), I think the only other foreign celeb who has got to the final are Pamela Stephenson and Jason Donovan who are Kiwi and Aussie respectively ofc.

 

If they're good enough then definitely I can't see why not - Michelle certainly is! She's very likeable, and doesn't have the dance background furore that Ashley had so I can definitely see her doing it and getting there *.*

I still feel the winner will be one of the following 5.

 

Catherine

Alex

Kelvin

Will

Emma Barton

 

Michelle won’t win outright but I could see her in the final. With LGBT she has a huge fanbase but do women take to her that’s the question. I can’t see her winning the whole thing. She’s the one I’m a bit unsure of it’ll take a dodgy dance from her where she isn’t high on the leaderboard for me to see if she’s popular or not.

 

Dev and Karim will be in a dance off together at some point later down the line. I think Dev will go further on public votes alone than what Karim will but Karim could easily be in the dance off a few times in my opinion like who are his fanbase? I can’t see Saffron winning the whole thing either she’s likely to get 5th or 6th. She’s not as known as Joe or as popular as what he was and she’s probably to many right now seen as an afterthought like oh yeah she’s good but she’s not who people will talk of straight away.

 

 

If Kelvin's scores don't drop off in a major way after this week then I think he'll be unbeatable (and I am fine with that, Queen Oti finally getting her crown *.*). Other than that I think her natural talent, gay fanbase and the producers wanting her to be around as long as possible will keep Michelle in to the final Faye Tozer style but it'd take a miracle for her to actually win the thing. Then I think there's two 'brackets' for the last two final spots which'll be Dev vs Karim for the "hip young male" and Catherine vs Emma for the "female soapstar" slot. If I had to call it now I'd say that the rough finishing order will be

 

FINALISTS

Kelvin

Catherine

Michelle

Karim

 

NEARLY RANS

Emma B

Dev

Saffron

Will

 

MIDDLERS

Alex

Emma W

 

NO HOPERS

Chris

Mike

David

I think if Kelvin gets 10s every week though it’ll put people off voting for him to win the whole thing.

 

He could well have a “Jay” dance this week. Like didn’t say Jay have a less popular dance after his Jive?

 

The winner is usually like the third or fourth best dancer overall and it’s hardly ever who the judges like the best across the whole thing at least that’s how it’s gone lately.

Kelvin only got 28 for his Waltz, I think he's going to be better at the sexy Latin dances and the fun ones like Charleston, I can't see him being as good as the slow ones. We'll see how his Rumba goes as that's another side he'll have to nail, very different to his Charleston and Samba but not the same kind of slow as the waltz. They do tend to be a bit overgenerous on movie week, not usually to the point of 10s, but I don't think it's going to be the case that Kelvin is gonna get 10s every week from now on.

What a unpredictable show!

 

This will be the first dance off so far where I don’t think any of the judges bottom 2 will be there.

 

I’ve voted for David twice just because I really don’t want him there three weeks In a row and he evidently improved too. My other vote went to Emma W because I had a gut feeling telling me she needed my vote more than some of the others.

I want some of whatever Motsi was on to give Mike a 9, so in her mind he was on a par with Kelvin and Emma and better than Michelle, Saffron and Catherine :rofl:

Looks like the format I was posting on the DS thread ;) :D

Mike's 9 was utterly ridiculous

 

Some very weird scores this evening, but overall an enjoyable show - Love Chris more and more :)

I'll predict an Alex Emma W bottom 2. Though Alex could be replaced with David or Chris

I'd have thought it'd be Alex and Emma W too but I've got a feeling Dev may be down there too as a mini shock. Alex just isn't improving really so I hope so she goes out of those tbh, maybe she needs more work but like it's week 4 you'd think she'd be showing a lot more than she has so far!

 

Emma B was easily my favourite tonight, I don't usually like VWs that much but it was stunning and she really smashed it :wub:

Could be Will and Alex in the bottom two. How did Mike get a 9. I think only Motsi has the answer into that.

 

DEV IS OUT

 

 

 

He was in dance off with Emma Weymouth

 

 

Spoiler of who is out and who was saved in dance off

Spoiler's out:

 

 

Dev and Viscountess Emma were in the dance off with Dev being eliminated

 

:o gutted!

Surprised; but given the bizarre scoring, its not that shocking!

 

 

The leaderboard tonight and the way the judges scored some people highly who are usually low to me felt like we were due a bit of a shocker in terms of who went and the dance off.

 

However it does show you that

Maybe Dev never had much of a public vote anyways. I had an inkling he wasn’t gonna do too well with the public but didn’t expect it this soon.

 

It also shows you that Alex and Will have good backing with the public.

 

Also it also shows the judges must’ve at least based their decision on the dance given he’s been higher scored every other week (I think that’s right isn’t it?)

 

 

again, the spoiler reveals who’s gone.
