December 11, 20213 yr Author Rose really just did THAT Argentine Tango when she couldn't even hear the music.. I'm in awe of her. Her and Gio's partnership will go down in Strictly history. What an absolute joy it has been watching their journey on the show.
December 11, 20213 yr Rose really just did THAT Argentine Tango when she couldn't even hear the music.. It may just be her best dance yet and I thought nothing would’ve beaten her Tango to Shivers or that couple choice! She’s absolutely floored me at how much of an amazing dancer she is like even if she could hear she’d still go down as amongst the best dancers we’ve ever had on the she but to do all that as a deaf contestant!! She deserves the world. I honestly feel gutted so many favourites of mine done the same series I never really rooted for anyone last year but in this series I’ve loved so many contestants Rose and AJ are my girls though and I’ll fight for them till the end! Rose is really doing so much for the deaf community though isn’t she and her profile is gonna skyrocket after this!

It may just be her best dance yet and I thought nothing would’ve beaten her Tango to Shivers or that couple choice!

Rose is really doing so much for the deaf community though isn’t she and her profile is gonna skyrocket after this! Yup, it's definitely my fave dance from them now. I wonder what they'll do for the final? I'd be gobsmacked if we didn't get their couples choice again!
December 11, 20213 yr The BBC quartet left... AJ and John don't really have anything specifically to do with the BBC from what I can tell?
December 11, 20213 yr Just thinking of the final and what dance each will choose as their pick to do again. So, i have a feeling Rose and Gio may do an entirely silent dance as their showdance in the final or at least incorporate a silent part in that so we could see the Argentine Tango again! But the Couples Choice was such a moment and probably the most discussed dance of the series we may well see that again. For the other couples ill predict as well on what theyll do if they get in the final! So for J&J ill guess theyll do the Pirates of caribbean dance again, Rhys's would be the Charleston same with AJ (although AJ has had many wow moments its hard to imagine what she'd go with maybe the Quickstep as she did get her first 40 with it. Im nervously awaiting the spoiler!! whoever leaves ill have a sense of sadness as they all deserve to be in the final and as I said earlier this likely wouldve been the final four as I suspect Robert wouldve been eliminated by now however I feel like Robert leaving gave Dan a bigger vote, I think their supporters may have been similar when they were both competing although I feel Robert had more ability and was lumbered with routines to make him look silly.

December 12, 20213 yr John vs. Rhys dance off - Rhys eliminated So happy with the dream AJ/John/Rose final three!!! Rhys did really well to make it as far as the semis too. I guess this reveals that AJ’s public support is stronger than John’s based on their leaderboard positions? Very pleased that she’s straight through this week after dance-off last time, looking forward to seeing her and Kai’s reactions
December 12, 20213 yr Aww Rhys </3 such a shame that we couldn't have a 4-person final this year, the standard has been so good! Really loved this week's show - can't wait for next week :heart: (well, slotting it around IRL plans, but I'll find a way :kink:)
December 12, 20213 yr Author I wasn't a fan of Rhys to start with but his star has really shone over the past 2-3 weeks. His final dance was SO good :wub: He truly went all out which is what you need for a Samba! Last nights semi final is getting raved about online and I totally agree - one of the best semis in the history of the show. Finale night could be a special one :wub: Edited December 12, 20213 yr by Jαsє
December 12, 20213 yr Aww Rhys </3 such a shame that we couldn't have a 4-person final this year, the standard has been so good! Really loved this week's show - can't wait for next week :heart: (well, slotting it around IRL plans, but I'll find a way :kink:) Echo all of this Jade. I'm also never busy on Saturdays then this Saturday for the final I am (I swear every december night out I have I miss the Strictly final :lol: :lol: ) Rhys deserved to be in the final so I'm gutted he missed out but nobody deserved to go and he just fell unlucky. I did prefer him in the dance off for me (J&Js couples choice was my favourite of their dances last night so was surprised they went with Jive). But overall id probably say John was a better dancer but there wasnt much in it and you could argue Rhys and Johns main critiques were like the opposite Rhys often getting told he had too much energy and to reign it in, John being told to let loose and bring more. I do feel like its Rose for the win with ease but what a series this has been. AJ and Kai rightfully getting in the final :cheer: :heart: :wub:

AJ and Kai rightfully getting in the final :cheer: :heart: :wub: Haha typical :lol: I'm away for the weekend but my Sunday is busier than Saturday so I'm hoping to sneak away to the hotel room for a couple of hours on Saturday to watch :kink: I'm with you guys in thinking that Rose has it in the bag but it'd be so deserved, I'd be happy for any of them to win, I'm just thrilled that they're all in the final, bring on the showdances *.* as for dance repeat discussion I'm not sure if I can see Rose's CC being repeated just because it was so impactful the first time, aided by the fact that the silent moment came as a surprise, so it'd be a tough one to replicate. We'll see though I could be completely wrong! I'd love to see AJ's jive again, the quality for week 1 was already outstanding, imagine what it'd be like now *.* I also loved John and Johannes' very first dance, what an opening show that was. Excited to see what we'll get as they all have impressive catalogues of dances! It was a shame that AJ and Kai didn't get a proper celebratory reaction tonight as their fate was just the fact that Rhys and Nancy were in the dance off and not them. Ah well, they seemed more than thrilled when talking to Claudia at least :P really happy that they sailed through after last week, I adore their partnership. So cool for Kai to bag a final position in his first year and AJ is a total star. I got into Strictly so late (my first year watching was 2018!) so can't compare the quality of this semi to many other years, but it really was special, glad a lot of people seem to think so.
December 13, 20213 yr Whoever wins this series I’d say is the best winner since Caroline Flack. I think because this series has been so strong there’s a few contestants who may have been a winner in another series (in an alternative universe AJ is a winner) but part of the fact this series has felt so strong is because of the strong partnerships and how there felt like there was a real hunger in all of them to just throw themselves into the experience. It will be such a series to follow. I definitely see Kai and Nancy with celebs next series too to get to the final four in your first series with a partner in a series like this wow. I know it’s only a small thing but I think the Semi final should be *just* a public vote however I’m guessing if that were the case many mega talents wouldn’t have made the final Ashley Roberts probably being an example.
December 15, 20213 yr AJ has suffered a foot injury and is currently using crutches :( really hope she'll be alright </3
December 15, 20213 yr AJ was supposedly due to dance both the Jive and Charleston in the final! Hopefully the dances can be changed to accommodate her injury and she’s able to do dances what are.. less impactful if that’s even a word? I know any movement or dance will be bad for her but I fear those dances are likely the worst two for her for an injury. Hopefully she can dance but it may be better for her to dance if her dances can be changed. Fingers crossed she actually can dance it would be gutting for her to miss out on performing she’s a warrior so I’m sure she’s pushing herself to get on that floor.
December 15, 20213 yr Eep I've just seen AJ and Kai's ITT interview and it really doesn't look good :( trying to remain optimistic but she looks so uncharacteristically deflated, the injury sounds nasty and they haven't trained since Monday, she still can't even walk without crutches yet let alone dance... I wish moving the final was an option </3 Wishing her all the best anyway, health ofc comes first!
December 15, 20213 yr Author Someone from DS Ligament damage can vary - I have torn my ankle ligaments a number of times. Even if AJ's is less severe - she describes it on insta as a 'repeated traumatic impact injury', the fact that she is on crutches and unable to bear weight 3 days before the final suggests, sadly, that she will be lucky to walk on it by then. Just watched ITT. Yeah, if I'm being honest, I don't think she's going to be able to perform... :(
December 17, 20213 yr Author Heartbroken. They've provided me with so many incredible moments over the winter and I can safely say they're one of my favourite all time Strictly couples. They've had so many brilliant dances but I always think back to their week one Jive and my jaw dropping; the fact she came out and did a Jive of that quality on the first live show blew my mind and I was *so* looking forward to seeing her do it again tomorrow night :( At least they went out on a massive high. I assume they'll both be there tomorrow night so I'm hoping they pay massive respect to them by showing a montage of their dances/interviews/etc.
December 17, 20213 yr Me too Jase :heart: I haven't been in a great place mentally for the past few months or so and have clung to Strictly a lot as comfort escapism. After a few weeks it became clear to me this year that AJ and Kai were my firm favourites of this series. I became really drawn to them on the dancefloor and off - I didn't really know much about AJ before the show but I'm in awe of her now, such a ray of sunshine and a real inspiration of making it after a lot of setbacks. She should be incredibly proud of how well she's done! Like you said, she made her mark immediately with that Jive and also got to leave the show with that perfect 40. What a shame that their time on the show had to end this way :( I hope she gets well soon :heart: I actually bought tickets to the tour so I'm hoping she'll still get to keep dancing on that. It's only next month which is a bit soon but who knows, maybe Covid will delay it anyway. The outpouring of kindness on her social media posts is wonderful to see - clearly well loved in the industry and by fans of the show <3
December 17, 20213 yr Hopefully we get to see the showdance on the shows launch next year? It deserves to be seen and to see her have that final moment to end her journey the way it should’ve been. I’m devastated for her. I can’t remember this ever happening where a finalist has had to miss the final! (Just imagine what would’ve happened if it was only a two person final…) AJ can have her head held high though she’s been an incredible contestant and is a star she’ll do well off the back of this show and I’m glad the nation have got to see her personality in full swing I’ve liked her for a long time now but I’m fully a stan now! Props to Kai on having such a mega first year on the show true. A great partnership and some amazing routines we’ve seen from them. Edited December 17, 20213 yr by Jord
