The emotion from both of them throughout the whole dance was really intense. The first AT performance (which I have rewatched far too many times) Nikita kept an intense brooding character from the start till they were stood in front for the judges. Last night I could see the emotion in his face throughout. The dance was a break up and this was the end of their journey. I know they will dance on the tour but they have spent 6 days a week together for months, have stood strong together, continued to push boundaries allowing Layton to be exactly who he is in the face of significant hostility and have clearly forged such a close bond that I think they will feel lost without each other for a while.(nikita trying not to cry with his little pouty mouth when the AT was over too 🥲🥲)
If that was the bit where Nikita was blowing glitter into the camera, I care not. whoever choreographed that bit … give them a biscuit.The only issue I have with Layton's show dance was that there was 20 seconds where there were was zero dancing from him, just Nikita's face in the camera while Layton literally just walked from one end of the dancefloor to the other...was weird. Felt like something else was supposed to happen?? Cause it was at odds with the rest of the routine!

These two are definitely friends for life, matching nail polish 🩷🩷View attachment 2635433
Vito looks like he's a very messy (but fun!) drunk!The last slide, thank me later
I agree with all of this. Why risk the dance with all the lifts? Same with the sodding props. The dance just looks disjointed when it’s all lift, lift, lift and oh here we go, another lift. Meh,I wasn't a huge fan of Ellie's showdance but I knew I wouldn't be as I don't like megamix dances - they just never flow right for me. I think she danced it brilliantly but the actual dance gave me that feeling when you stand up too fast after lying down.
I'm gonna say it: lifts do very little to impress me, really. Less is more and I'd rather see dancing.
Some nice predictions! Though I hope Kai is front of the queue for someone young and talented after Kaye & Grangela.My predictions for next year (not that anyone asked for them)
A Les/Jody style duffer for Dianne
A middle of the road mum (Kym Marsh style) for Nikita
A fun and loveable Alison Hammond style duffer for Vito
Potentially a same sex partnership for Luba
A young Karim style ringer for Katya to show off her choreography and take her to the final, even though they won’t win
An unexpected ringer for Lauren and Johannes (Ellie/Hamza style)
The old lady duffer for Carlos
And then a steady mid ground (Annabel/Angela/Nigel) bunch for Kai, Gorka, Nadiya and Nancy.
Bye bye/bench for Gio and Karen
Get well soon LadyLav!Well I heard from a good source that Shirley likes to shake her bust in the toilets!
talking of which, I read on DS that LadyLav is in hospital. I feel bad - hope Gio’s plight didn’t give her a nasty turn. Genuinely hope she’s back to her insane stanning soon!
That's how my husband looks at me. I think he's glad strictly is over because he knows I've fallen HARD for Nikita, the beautiful boyThe emotion from both of them throughout the whole dance was really intense.

This look to each other

There was no standing intensely in character at the end. Nikita just went straight to him and embraced him. I’ve said it before but we all want someone who looks at us the way Nikita looks at Layton

I think Jodie is too big for this show right now isn’t she? One day hopefully!!!She is far too much of a big name to do Strictly and if she did would probably be partnered with a man but Jodie Comer would be amazingLuba and Villanelle
Yes please take poor Kai off duffer duty for one season at leastSome nice predictions! Though I hope Kai is front of the queue for someone young and talented after Kaye & Grangela.
I don't think he was ever supposed to catch her the way he did. I think they were trying to do this - lift at 33 seconds - but she fell.I’d very much like to see a video of what that end lift was meant to be because for the life of me I can’t see how it could ever have gone to plan
Think they also did it on DWTS with Iman & Daniella. But I agree, it was a stupid move, too risky for amateurs.I don't think he was ever supposed to catch her the way he did. I think they were trying to do this - lift at 33 seconds - but she fell.
Whatever it was supposed to be, I think it was incredibly stupid of them to attempt a lift like that, especially after Nigel's injury. Made me proper pissed at Vito, and even moreso at the producers. The routine already had loads of impressive lifts, so needlessly foolish to risk serious injury just to cram one more in.
