*Wallace Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Lily coming through with the Karim save. Aww Colin. He's great and sad to see him go, but the game is getting tough with everyone being really good now. Happy he's made it this far, and barely being targeted too! Not Lily spending a whole paragraph dedicated to that showdance. Gah, that was a mess....what were Colin & Erin thinking? So upsetting how that dance lost it for them. And yes, I've followed but didn't actually watch the DOI drama. I'm happy 3 Strictly alums did it, and hopefully some DOI alums can do Strictly. But yeah that was a Chaotic hot mess of a season with half of the cast withdrawing due to injuries or covid. :fear: I don't know where or how DOI went so wrong with the protocols.

*Chris Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) This set of nominations were the hardest of nominations, so far, as it included a lot of my favourite male competitors and some of the better dancers to have been on the show. But a choice has to be made and I ain't letting go of HRVY, this easily . Anyway, I am not too much of a fan of having to let go of Louis Smith either as he was in my Top 3 of the series during his respective series. As a reminder, Louis was partnered with Flavia Cacace where they were frontrunners alongside Denise and Kimberley which were my Top 3 of the series. From the first few weeks of the competition, he really showed potential - I do like when a contestant who have the ability to go all out don't go all out right at the start of the season and that's what Louis did. He started being a contender during Week 3 following his Salsa - I think it should all been 8s around the board but there's always someone ruining a surprise. The following week, he topped the board with a fierce Tango which remains one of my favourite of his. He may have had some routines where he wasn't up to par to his standards but never stopped him from giving his all - it didn't impacted him making the quarterfinals. At the end, his great dancing skills paid off as he won Series 10 and will go on to win a Christmas special! Here's some of my favourite routines of his : SAVING: HRVY Edited August 31, 2021 by *Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Lily Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) Kellie Bright A contestant on Series 13 of Strictly, Kellie was best known as the resident EastEnders actress of her season, where she was paired with Kevin Clifton. The combination of the BBC connection and Kevin's popularity made them a couple who were pegged to go far, which was shown by their high scores and praise over the season. I liked Kellie and Kevin well enough and enjoyed a few of their performances, but did tend to think they could be overhyped at times and sometimes felt like their big personalities combined could be a lot to handle. This probably continued to show with their two appearances in the bottom two prior to their stint in the final. At the final I remember thinking the judges really overpraised the pair quite a lot in comparison to who I thought were two stronger and more deserving winners in Jay and Georgia. All this being said, Kellie had some nice performances and a fun relationship with Kevin. One of my favorites would be her Viennese Waltz which I thought helped her really bring out her acting background.

*Diana Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Louisa Lytton Is this how Wallace felt my round? I wanted to save everyone but unfortunately I had to cut someone. It is a hard choice to make because I did love Louisa a lot but unfortunately she is my choice to cut here and I think this is a fair place for her to go. As the youngest ever celebrity to take part in Strictly Come Dancing, Louisa was only 17 when she was partnered with professional Vincent Simone in the fourth season. I think it's amazing she did so well for herself at 17 but always feel a little yuck at the producers for taking advantage of teenagers on the American show too. They lasted a great amount of the season. My personal favorite dance of theirs was their cha cha and their Viennese Waltz. With their Tango coming in a close third for me. This is by far the hardest cut I have made so far.Saving Louise Redknapp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies on the difficult round, as I've gone through tough rounds as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Chris Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 (edited) Natasha Kaplinsky is known for being a well-respect journalist and TV presenter notably with Sky News, BBC News, Channel 5, and ITV News. Being a well-respected journalist, it was a perfect fit that Natasha would appear on the first ever series of Strictly Come Dancing on BBC. She was partnered with Brendan Cole - a professional that is often hit or miss, for me. She started off the competition with a bang with a Cha Cha Cha that scored 27 out of 40 - although she should have had received a 29 rather than 27. The following week, she impressed with quickstep and she continued to impressed week after week from a Foxtrot to an incredible Samba to Tango to Rumba to Paso Doble. She ended up being the first ever winner of the series and rightfully so, but over the years, she doesn't really measure up & I am fine with seeing her leaving this rankdown.
