Strictly Come Dancing #23

[MidCenturyMadOne]

Mother of God! What a gorgeous man!

Indeed, very James Bond here.
Lord help me if my husband looks at my photo gallery on my phone at the moment!

I would hate to see AJ hobbling around her little face wincing in pain. She hasn’t had the rehearsal time at all.
If I were her I’d get some horizontal healing in with Kai instead

I’m sure there have been plenty of cuddles this week ( horizontal or not, might be hard with a strapped up foot)

 

[NonDairyQueen]

I had a dream about AJ and Kai missing Strictly and missed my alarm. I had to throw 3 packed lunches together in record time because the kids overslept and didn't have time to do them! They've gone in with a cream cheese wrap a satsuma and a cake bar

John on his stories saying "I think I know who's going to lift the glitterball and I'm so excited to see them win" I think they all know Rose has it in the bag, which is exactly why AJ shouldn't risk it unnecessarily.

Kudos to him, that’s so gracious (I hope that doesn’t come across as patronising <insert “look at your little face”>) To come out and say that is pretty special…but I can’t be the only one who doesn’t completely think it’s a foregone conclusion? If you had told me in advance Ore and Stacey would win their years I would have laughed in your face, especially as they, like Rose, are up against fantastic dancers

Hello New thread!

A sore foot wouldn’t be so bad with company like that

John on his stories saying "I think I know who's going to lift the glitterball and I'm so excited to see them win" I think they all know Rose has it in the bag, which is exactly why AJ shouldn't risk it unnecessarily.

They could still win, as could J & J

I agree

As much as I am with the school of thought Rose has this in the bag from the beginning there has always been a part of me that has wondered if AJ could take the Glitter Ball.
On form AJ could put in amazing performances hoovering up the floating voters and those that tune in for the final only. As well as having her own large following.

The two pieces of evidence to support a Rose win seems to be her huge SM numbers on anything to do with them, however she is reaching a wider audience and even an international audience that may not be voting for her.
The other is that she hasn't been in the bottom two but they haven't been near the bottom of the leader board since the early weeks and we do know like AJ she has a dedicated fan base.

AJ was in the bottom two in the quarter final but so was Ore and I'm pretty sure other winners have too.
Another little winner stat... Winners often don't get their first 40 until the semi final if at all!

There was still hope AJ could take the Glitter Ball especially after her storming Semi-final when she peaked just at the right time.

However right now we don't know if AJ can even stand unaided never mind dance.

There's no room for Amy and Tom's showdance ( which they have been practicing for 12 weeks...) hmmm I wonder How did AJ injure herself?

 

[Scottishfalpal1]

Just watching last nights it takes two. What has Jeanette done to her hair ?

Oh no! an oversight. We can shoehorn him into the hip-hop number. With Aljaz.

Looks terrible

Defo an inside job from chin and amy

I don't mind it a bit shorter but it is a bit of a Karen cut, isn't it?

 

[scdf1289]

What do people make of the relations between gio and rose? I don’t think he’s attracted to her in that way at all, his standards are super models and pop stars which lets face it, although she is stunning, she’s not either of them. Which is fine as I’m and millions of others aren’t either! He’s a bit of a dirt bag I think

Rose isn't interested in him at all and I think although he's a bit phased by (shock!) a woman not fancying him, he has a brotherly affection towards her.

I agree. Too good for him

Agree, definitely sibling type love, not romantic at all.

i get complete sibling energy from them; especially in that he seems very protective of her while she teases him relentlessly.

I think he's relaxed around her (and she around him) and they obviously work well together, which means that they're both having a good Strictly experience this year. He's said that he appreciates her positivity so I think they're vibing and having a nice time.

I get the sense that AJ and John are maybe more up and down emotioanlly, so while Giovanni has to work hard to adapt his teaching to Rose, he's maybe playing less of Strictly therapist role this series. This is just the vibe I get
