The hate Dan’s getting is having the opposite affect and making people like him more

Well it does matter to those of us who want a fantastic finale with wonderful dancing.
Yeah I'd be a bit gutted if either AJ or John didn't make it - I know Rose is going to win, pretty deservedly, but a final with those 3 would be high quality.
I feel like Rhys needs to be put out of his misery now.

It wouldn't surprise me if she is left on the sub's bench next year. She isn't very tv friendly and doesn't seem to support her partner the way Aljaz or Katya does
Agreed and completely humourless, I also don't think the relationship between her and Rhys is great he seems nervous and scared of her to me and not at ease at all.

Dan seems to love the sound of his own voice. He's like that uncle at weddings that tries to be funny and crack jokes at any opportunity for attention. Crap dancer and doesn't deserve to make it this far. WHo's voting for him? Is it the Christian community supporting their man? I'm baffled.

Rhys I think is a one-trick-pony. Great at all the high-energy dances, but that's about it really. His dance this weekend was dull as dishwater. And for god's sake, please close your mouth! You look like The Mask!

Tilly I think left at the right time but I quite enjoyed her to be honest. Great chemistry with Nikita (wouldn't be surprised if they got together in the future). And loved Gordon's face when he took his top off yesterday!

AJ and Kai are great, she's an amazing dancer. Part of me wonders if she's almost too good that she becomes forgettable? Her standard is so high that a 9/10 score is becoming 'ok'.

John and Johannes are my faves. John does really well to move his unit of a body around, and Johannes is the best pro in my opinion. Think they still have room for improvement though!

Rose and Gio - I think they will win based on sentiment. She's really good, maybe not the best, but the added difficulty for her makes her worthy of the win!
I don’t think AJ is forgettable to the public. She’s one of the most talked about every week.

I agree on Rhys it's become uncomfortable viewing.

Cynthia made it very clear she is friends with AJ so I wonder if she marked down to not show favouritism

For me a lack or progression is just as bad as not being very good. For that I think John should be out next. I don't want Dan to win but I'm not against him being there as he is at least learning and improving. He isn't a joke act.
If I say to someone, “you know I love you…” (or words to that effect) then it’s going to be followed up with something less positive. I wonder if she didn’t like the routine. I kinda hope it was that rather than they’d told her to mark Dan about the same as everyone but Craig’s comments did not match his score of 6, I thought he was whipping out the 3 paddle. I don’t want there to be jiggery pokery at this stage of the game but I can’t help think strings are being pulled somewhere.

I think Dan’s a nice guy, I think he’s having fun and he’s grateful to still be there. And if people want to see him go then get voting for your fave, it’s more important than ever!

I’d let Nancy get another chance next year but 10 weeks in and I do agree that something hasn’t really clicked with her as a pro. The only connection she & Rhys have is the OTT energy while dancing, otherwise little chemistry.

I don't think she's a strong enough choreographer, and hasn't toned Rhys down, or actually told him that he needs to have rest periods between dancing. He seems exhausted and overwrought by Saturday. Both of them together aren't a good partnership as they seem to wind each other up into hyperactivity. I only really want Rose and AJ in the final, I don't mind who the other one is. Johannes I think has been a disappointment as a pro too, as I spend all my time watching him, while John just fades into the background.

Don't hate me but I feel like Rose isn't thaaat good...
I mean obviously she's up there and she deserves to be in the final but I feel like she's not actually the most exciting to watch. Maybe it's because she can't hear the music but I feel like her dances lack feeling even though they may be technically perfect. Again, it's obviously very impressive what she's achieved but it feels a bit like people are like 'oh, she's deaf, give her the glitterball now.' She also hasn't had much of a journey compared to the others. I just feel like I haven't seen a really good dance from her for a few weeks now (no, I didn't like the couple's choice 😅)

See, I think it's the other way round - Rose always brings lots of feeling and characterisation, but she's not always technically great. But I agree that she hasn't had a brilliant dance lately. I think her absolute best was the beautiful tender Titanic themed foxtrot they did.

I think Nancy will ease into it, at the moment she’s very eager to please so she gets a partner next time. She doesn’t want to be a Neil character who’s on the bench more than he’s dancing. Nancy is very excitable and that comes across as a bit annoying . But if she gets another chance she will mellow and be not as frantic.

I quite like Nancy and I don't see a lack of connection with her and Rhys personally - I think they get on quite well. There isn't any chemistry but Rhys doesn't strike me as somebody who'd have that with anyone.

I'll tell you what though, somebody on here pointed out that Nancy has a really big head and I can't stop looking at how large it is.

Also remember with Nancy that she was trained in China so will likely have more of a rigid background and it could take longer for her to warm up and show her own personality rather than purely focus on competition. Culture could play part of it
