November 4, 20231 yr Author Annabel and Jo - just beautiful. Made even more poignant knowing Annabel's husband's fave pro was Jo :( Ellie really is incredible isn't she? Watching her and Vito is like watching two pros. Layton's jive was flawless *.* Looking at the top 3 on the Entertainment Odds poll...Nigel once again at the top 19.29% Nigel and Katya 16.10% Ellie and Vito 15.08% Annabel and Johannes He's been at the top since week one :o
November 4, 20231 yr Author I think what makes the winner even more up in the air is nobody is peaking early! Nobody has just been incredible from the first week - all of the frontrunners have had their ups and downs. I'd probably still say Nigel will do it, but I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if it's Ellie or Bobby!
November 5, 20231 yr Author I think Annabel or Krishnan will go next week with Angela R bowing out at Blackpool. Poor Luba :( She seemed so emotional. I hope she's back next year.
November 6, 20231 yr Author To win; 5/6 Ellie Leach 4/1 Nigel Harman 5/1 Bobby Brazier 12/1 Layton Williams 20/1 Angela Scanlon 80/1 Annabel Croft 100/1 Angela Rippon 150/1 Krishnan Guru-Murthy I've still got this feeling that it's between Nigel and Bobby :drama: Ellie's my fave so I certainly wouldn't complain if she does win!
November 6, 20231 yr I feel like Bobby has started to plateau for a few weeks now - maybe an Ellie/Nigel/Layton final could be on the cards? (with the latter knocking him out in a dance-off), perhaps wishful thinking as that would be the best case scenario combination of the remaining contestants for me - Nigel/Katya still my faves but the other two are also a joy to watch! I did like Bobby's samba but have not really warmed to his dances since
November 6, 20231 yr Bobby needs a breakthrough dance - although his had Tango and AT, both which don't suit his personality at all. I'd imagine he'll pick up again this week, but it feels like his momentum has gone. Mainly here for Layton and Nikita - they just have IT. They wont win, but their routines are just WOW
November 7, 20231 yr Layton and Nikita dancing Argentine Tango to Tattoo by Loreen :D Loreen returning :D
November 9, 20231 yr Angela R and Kai: Paso Doble to Hung Up by Madonna Angela S and Carlos: Waltz to With You I’m Born Again by Billy Preston & Syreeta Annabel and Johannes: Samba to Whenever, Wherever by Shakira Bobby and Dianne: American Smooth to Ghost of You by 5 Seconds of Summer Ellie and Vito: Rumba to True Colours by Cyndi Lauper Krishnan and Lauren: Samba to Bamboléo by Gipsy Kings Layton and Nikita: Argentine Tango to Tattoo by Loreen Nigel and Katya: Couple’s Choice to Just The Way You Are by Bruno Mars
November 9, 20231 yr Layton is not the only one in this year's cast with experience or training in some form of dance, yet he is the one who is called out for it.
November 11, 20231 yr Layton is not the only one in this year's cast with experience or training in some form of dance, yet he is the one who is called out for it. Personally, I’m really glad he is competing. But he’s obviously much more experienced than everyone else. It’s farcical to pretend otherwise. I tend warm to the celebs who seem most sincere. Which is why I like Angela S ❤️
November 11, 20231 yr Layton is not the only one in this year's cast with experience or training in some form of dance, yet he is the one who is called out for it. I think that’s because he’s the one where it’s more blatantly obvious as you could watch Laytons routine as a casual / first time viewer and genuinely not know which one of them is the pro. He’s as good as the pros which is why it feels more obvious in his case the rest of them who have past experience are good but you can still tell they’re the celeb partner as they’re not anywhere near as rounded.
November 11, 20231 yr Spectacular Argentine Tango from Layton & Nikita!!! :wub: sadly no 40, maybe next week? :lol: Really liked the direction for Nigel & Katya's Couple's Choice but wasn't keen on the song choice
November 11, 20231 yr Author I'd imagine we'll get our first 40 in Blackpool! Ellie, Nigel or Layton...have a feeling it could actually be Nigel! Missed tonight's show :( Will catch up tomorrow afternoon. Edited November 11, 20231 yr by Jαsє
November 18, 20231 yr Author Nigel looked absolutely gutted didn't he? The more the weeks go on the more I'm becoming convinced that it's going to be one of those rare years when everybody expects it'll be Ellie who wins, but that doesn't happen and we have a shock winner - Nigel. Just a hunch here but I think he could be picking up a huge sympathy vote.
November 18, 20231 yr He did :( on paper it should have been such a moment, Quickstep in tails at Blackpool and in the pimp slot, sad for him/Katya that it didn't quite come together all the way through. I think you're right that he still has huge public support though and Angela S had a great week... maybe an Angela R vs. Annabel bottom 2?

I *think* it's gonna be Angela R and Bobby :o Annabel seems to be doing great in the post Blackpool online polls! Bobby and Layton are actually struggling which I'm surprised at because both were really good tonight; I felt it was Bobby's best dance in weeks.

November 18, 20231 yr Author The dance off was between Angela R and Bobby! The judges unanimously sent Angela home.
November 19, 20231 yr Angela S deserved to top tonight. I don’t think Ellie or Layton were as good as they have been tonight so the 39s for them felt a bit iffy (like compared to their previous dances what scored 39 they just didn’t compare in my eyes). Angela S was fantastic though and Annabel. I think Bobby did well too. Nigel is definitely one who seems to get a lot more critique to the others (they were some issues) but it wasn’t as drastic as pointed out. Looking at the spoiler I’m not too shocked but will share some thoughts in a spoiler tag so avoid looking at that if you don’t know result. With Bobby being in the dance off I wonder if next week we might actually see a “bounce back” type vote. Something tells me Annabel is the next person producers may want out (it feels obvious it was Krishnan last week, then the rippon this week). I still have a hunch Layton is just one dance away from being in the dance off too. Even with those high scores now it’s possible he could drop into it (BUT now he’s had couples choice and a lot of crowd pleasers he must be due a dance that isn’t a 39 esque dance). However I’ve noticed Motsi’s extreme bias towards him and it’s only really Craig who actually scores them fairly. Edited November 19, 20231 yr by Jord
