I hesitate to say the amount of time I spent watching a few gifs. My excuse is I’m probably much older than most and need more time to absorb images.
![]() ![]() ![]() Does anyone actually believe you? 😜 Awww, I'm so unappreciating the end of this series. Much as I've torn most of the contestants to shreds, it's been my favourite series ever. Proper baddies, idiot pros, surprising dances, Jay, Jeremy, Daniel, a proper wozrobbed, now if I could just control the judges' scores from my house, it would be perfect. |

Well, the show dances should be interesting, to say the least. G&G looks a wee bit 'meh', but should get them through, Anton and Katie's (because, hey, it's all about Anton) looks like it has the potential to be a massive misfire, I honestly think he's lost it, Katie looks terrified and I don't blame her
Kellie and TFF look like Uncle Bob and Auntie Beryl, at a New Years Eve party, getting drunk and attempting to relive their glory days during the War down at The Roxy jitterbugging away and trying to show the American troops how its done ![]() J&A - well, I'm completely biased, and I don't care so IT'LL BE EPIC AND BRILLIANT ![]()

Not even sure I can see any "show" in that dance. It's crazily big music but I'm not sure they can live up to it. Kellie & TTF... That just looked ugly in training. I just think she's going to lose steam and I'm not convinced by doing lindy and charleston Jay & Ourleona... Yeah, I'm biased too . But for something that is a mixtape of their greatest hits it's actually looking like it's going to be a coherent routine with something for everyone. The music choice also feels like an inspired "screw you" to Craig. (I still think Jay should have done a routine in a V for Vendetta mask at some point and then Craig could have legitimately complained about the blank face )

Well... If Joe Varney loses his shirt for the actual dance and not just training it probably won't hurt their vote

Morning
Does anyone else think Katie looks crackered in her training video. She looks to be unappreciating Anton making the choreography up as he goes along (probably early days I know). Maybe she's reach her goal of getting Anton to the final and just doesn't care anymore

Katie's just physically tired - it's been a very long 16 weeks. She's not used to 100% camera coverage while being trained in new choreography. Time is tight and there are constant interviews and intrusive media. On the night she'll be fired up by adrenalin and stage fright. No worries.
So how many hours of physical effort do you put in every day?? |

![]() Katie's looking less and less confident as the weeks have gone on, she may pull this out of the bag, but yikes, it's a hell of a risk (and I still can't figure out how on earth the singers are going to cope with the booming choir vocals )

To be honest, I think he may have gone stark raving mad, I mean, I know everyone was expecting Fred and Ginger type stuff, lovely old style Hollywood frock, tune and routine, he's great at that, maybe he wanted to surprise everyone, but, really, I don't think this is the time to be doing it.

She's very contained and elegant, power is not her thing. She's also not good at remembering complex choreography, but it's all about Anton, if he could dance it on his own he would. 🙄 I'm not looking forward to the many gusset flashes we're going to get from Kevin and Kellie, I have my cushion ready |

Whatever happens tomorrow, Strictly 2015 will always be the year Jay-was-in for me - and I know that this time next year I'll remember who partnered Alijaz, but I'll be struggling to remember who partnered Gleb, Kev, Anton or Joe.

I would understand if it was with say Layla Rouass, who could sell a dramatic routine and did look the part. But Katie? She did do a fab tango on week 2, mind you. But I am not entirely sold that overly dramatic dances are her thing.
But who knows, we may be all surprised. It's looking increasingly that TTF and Anton have gone frantic and and choreographed for themselves, whereas Joe Varney and Aliona have choreographed for their celebs (although Joe, if you're reading, I'd miss out the spins for Georgia, lovely as she is, she just can't do them well, and she's nowhere near as good as you, or Jay, at them, she's still not spotting. )

Who'd a thunk that before the series? 😱 Jay apart, Daniel was the revelation of the series for me, what a lovely man. |

Think that is a rookie mistake from JoeVarney. |
