I just feel like it’s too early to make predictions (not that I’m overly invested tbh as long as Will or Jayde don’t win). Someone could have a stand out week and someone else could have a shocker; anything could happen. It’s not like last year where it was obvious from quite early on that Rose was going to win. This series feels a bit more unpredictable.
She just has no journey: she's good at everything and has no real backstory. Carlos is also a new pro and unknown (even more so than Vito, who has a lot more SM followers than him..)
I love the Fleur and Vito partnership and for me it doesn't seem like its Vito's first year.
I can see him maybe struggling with the more traditional/technical ballroom! I'm also not the biggest fan of Diane's choreography...I feel that may also let him down somewhat!
Tyler has been at the top half of the public vote each week (going by Dave's poll).
Every week so far I think the vote has been very dependant on the dances. Tyler’s last three:a well themed energetic jive, an admittedly decent Charleston and a couples choice - were all real crowd pleasers. Him being in the top half of the votes is more a indication of a very crowd pleasing run of dances that suit him in being energetic and having lots of tricks and lifts rather than in how popular he really might be
I think after his crap- I mean couple's choice last week he may have lost some popularity. I've seen the word "cocky" and "Shirley's pet" thrown about a lot. Dianne has her staunch red hair brigade voting for them, mind - I'm not sure how much influence they have or whether their mums will let them stay up late enough to vote.
I saw someone on DS compare this series to Wacky Races which feels about right - someone zooms out in front one week but then crashes the following week and someone else takes over (with Hamza being out in front right now)
I haven’t either tbh. I think he seems alright. I do like him less the more Shirley fawns over him though, but that’s not his fault!
Can absolutely see Shirley not scoring him lower than a 9 for the rest of the series, no matter how his dance goes
Have you ever tried listening to his radio show? It is not really to be recommended. He comes across as like he thinks he is the pro in that I have not seen him thank or praise Diane on social media or any interviews or anything and on his radio when he speaks of strictly it is all me and I. I think that is cocky
Yes I look at another Strictly message board and Will is incredibly popularPeople feeling so sorry for him because of his cold and giving him multiple votes. Same message board absolutely loves pro Amy. So perky and pretty. Again
No I haven’t. Just going from how he is on the main show really so he could well be different on his own turf.
I've seen him plenty of times thank Dianne on his instagram; they both get along well if you watch the show and if you follow them on social media.
I just think that the response to being in the DO isn't necessarily always 'we will work harder' (most of these people are already doing long hours) but letting people get to see what makes you tick etc. (obv not helpful if what makes you tick is being a weirdo a la Tom and Amy but..)
