Hurricane

Lmao how did Alexandra got 39 and all the others got undermarked Well bar Joe I guess

Undermarked and 2nd to go. She’s gone this weekend.

Mollie got a lingerie photoshoot out. She will also be on the cover of Health Magazine. Quite a bit of exposure there.

Wait, what?

AJ probably couldn't muster up a good routine with his sickness and he probably prefered the routine to be simple so that Mollie could learn it in time for Saturday, considering she was going to have less rehearsing time than usual. It happens. :unsure: Even beyond the (boring) routine, the props and theme actually worked AGAINST them this week. -_- The total opposite of what Gemma did in Week 3 (Movie Week) and what I was hoping for with Halloween Week. At some point in the performance, AJ put the pitchfork towards her so she can grab it, but she barely has enough place to put her hands in there. In fact, in the DANCE-OFF when they did the routine again, she literally CAN'T put her hand in there. You see her barely holding it. There's another part in the routine where she does some sort of Cha Cha run/chase to grab the pitchfork (AJ is holding it but takes it away in a "cheeky way"), but she just looks like she's stepping on her own feet, thus can't grab the pitchfork in time, and AJ has to move on with the routine....but it's actually just part of the actual choreography (the whole concept is that they are trying to steal the pitchfork from one another....................) ... It was just messy. I thought AJ's choreography for last week's VW was actually the best of the night, and a lot of people agreed on the internet, but this week, it was just boring. On the other hand, you've got people like Katya and Aljaz being very original (Katya moreso than Aljaz), so their "middler contestants" benefit a lot more from it. I don't want to put it on AJ's back because Mollie is quite honestly really "middling" at the moment, she needs to bring her game the f*** up, but AJ has done a poor job this week.

I hope she makes it to Blackpool. It would be nice if she came back guns blazing and the judges had nothing but to praise the amazing comeback, etc...but I honestly doubt she has it in her. Still, she knew the second she finished her dance that she was going to be in the dance-off (you can see the video on Twitter/Instagram), so she's probably being really hard on herself right now. I have a feeling Mollie will start rehearsing tomorrow whatever next dance she's doing to get as much training as possible.

I think she might get a wake up call from this as well. It might push her to work even harder. She certainly needs to, if she wants to keep herself in the race. But more importantly I hope some of the public starts voting for her, realizing she's not safe. I could see her using a few stops in her VT next week. Probably her dyslexia (visiting children in school?) or other charities she's done with the band.

Her weakness is that she just can't seem to deliver a very good Latin. :unsure: These are the ones people rave about. Almost all the frontrunners this season have set themselves apart with either a Paso Doble or a Charleston. (And it's exactly why Frankie started to stale halfway through the competition because she struggled with the Latin (while Caroline didn't) and was only delivering very good Ballroom numbers.) I've said it already but Mollie missed her chance. She needed to deliver a wow performance in about Week 4. Even if she followed it through with a more "mediocre" performance, the judges would have pushed the "journey" angle. Instead it's Gemma who's done it. We're moving into Week 7 now, if she gets a Ballroom number next Saturday, she might be safe as I reckon she will do well, but I doubt she will set herself apart like she needs to, and if she gets a Latin, she could end up just recreating another Salsa/Cha Cha Cha instead of a proper moment.

CONFIRMED

No second person has been announced yet, so I wouldn't believe it.

The Cha Cha Cha wasn't amazing this week, and the scores took a dip, so I think she will find herself in the second half of the leaderboard. She will need all the support this week.

Guys, this week Mollie might need a few of our votes as she's been struggling all week :unsure:, so I'd just like to let people know that you can vote freely, up to three times, on the BBC website if you register. Takes a few seconds. :angel: Otherwise, you can always throw a few votes on mobile or landline too, but it's not free :lol: Landline: 09015 22 5203 Mobile: 6 22 52 03 Or on the BBC Strictly website: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006m8dq Only when the lines are open obviously. :D

I'm just hoping it's produced better this time around? I can't explain it. It's not really that her first album had necessary a "cheap sound" to it, but more of a ... "live authentic" sound, and while I can understand why, you know, she digs that, I just think even country music can be expensively produced, you know what I mean?

YOU DID NOT, OH MY GOD :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

By the way, if anyone feels like watching Mollie's interviews on ITT, someone on YouTube uploads them everyweek. m6evkeHYTi8 lAkIffF50ZQ YyckjQsUPEs AlPVI2DEfsI Xf-7bPnjY48

AJ is fine and back in game, but Mollie's performance could still be affected by the fact that she didn't rehearse as much as anyone else as AJ passed the first few days lying on the floor because he was too sick, and then they lost a bit of rehearsing time trying to find her another teacher (it was one of the back up dancer, Patrick, and someone else too). Add to that, the fact that she's been rehearsing with many different guys, it must be a bit confusing for her. If they put her at the begining of the show four weeks in a row, I might actually believe they want her out. <_<

I wanted Brian out this week, but Simon needs to leave next week, so I really don't care, haha. I thought Mollie's VW was the best dance of the night. So beautiful and elegant. :wub: Also the third most watched performance behind Alexandra and Debbie. That makes for a really good top 3, that's for sure.

It might not be so obvious because the judges failed to score her rightly (so underscored, seriously -_- ), but I think Mollie has had a little breakthrough? :unsure: A subtle one, like I said. She's the third most watched performance...with a Ballroom number that was massively underscored! And she's gathering a lot of positive feedback for this particular performance (lots of "It's the first time I felt something watching Mollie dancing", "Nice of Mollie entering the race", etc. ) In comparison, someone like Joe who was overmarked and even got a 10, on a Latin number, is sitting at #5. So I guess our lovely Mollie is doing something right? :heart: :wub: ------- Next week she has the Cha Cha Cha, so it will most likely be really middle-ground (most Cha Cha Chas are on Strictly, for a reason), but I think she will still be safe as long as there are not too many ties.

Yeah she wasn’t. Good for her. 💕

-HHNbcPiI4M It was so gorgeous. :wub: :heart: You know the drill guys, like it, share it, promote it. :cheer:

I can't believe that the week where she produces an AMAZING piece is the week where : 1) she performs second - which is generally known as "the death slot" (it predicts lots of bottom 2) 2) Shirley undermarks it because Mollie performs too soon in the evening and she doesn't know what a 8 and 9 should be tonight just yet 3) Bruno isn't there to give her a free 9 because he always overmarks everything :lol: 4) The week where there are so many ties She's terribly unlucky. I'm thinking she's in the bottom 2 tonight. Could be against someone who was really good, in fact.

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.
