That's been a forgone conclusion since about week five - the others are only there to make up the numbers. If she was to dance in the final like Ann Widdecombe she would still win.

Re: Strictly 2021
Personally I feel there are too many lifts and tricks in some of the dances which Len would have called ‘faffing about and time wasting’, and I would agree. It’s supposed to be a dancing competition not a circus act.

Re: Strictly 2021
If it's AJ in the dance off all she needs to do is not cock up that last lift.
Of course the way the audience vote has been going Dan could be safe again, which could put the boys in the dance off. I think they've gone off the boil now the novelty has worn off

Ridiculous decision. The judges have no idea what they are doing. I'm never watching Strictly again.
Not till next week anyway.

Re: Strictly 2021
Ben, I’m with you, I had Dan going through as well. Credit where credits due, for me he was much better than AJ and had improved much more in the dance off. A bl**dy fix if you ask me.

Re: Strictly 2021
Dan is out. Surprised he lasted this long but considering he was a true beginner and a reluctant dancer he did well, or in football parlance "the lad done good".

…& he managed to leg it from the Strictly studios to host the American Football prog after MOTD…thought he would have had to stay in his bubble until after this evening’s dance off

Re: Strictly 2021
If the contest was based on percentage improvement then Dan would have walked it by a mile. Although I liked AJ from the start, she is not much better now than in round one.

Re: Strictly 2021
I'd agree Dan is without doubt the most improved dancer but the competition is about who is the best dancer now. For the dance off they're told to judge on that alone. Nothing that's gone before counts. On that basis AJ won it by a mile.towny44 wrote: 05 Dec 2021, 22:48If the contest was based on percentage improvement then Dan would have walked it by a mile.

Re: Strictly 2021
Each to their own, but I still think Dan should have gone through. My decision is final

Whatever you might say Dan should be in the semis that's my decision and I'm unanimous in that.

AJ and Rose for the final. John and Rhys to battle it out for the final spot. Likely Rhys to go out.

They were all brilliant. Shame someone's got to lose out for the final but I think it might be Rhys.

Re: Strictly 2021
But just suppose that the dance off is between AJ and Rose - who would go?
