....lose those ridiculous faces and just believe in himself more.

(I don't want him to win mind, so makes no real odds to me if my advice is poo-poo'ed

...keep everyone off balance and uncertain about him.

No one left in this contest has the element of surprise. (Until they surprise us!! ) but Judge Rinder is a walking personification of unpredictability.

He's got an inward character dynamic thingy going on that keeps you fascinated -- whether repelled or attracted (I don't feel that matters).

....hope he's popular enough to avoid a dance off cos his scores aren't high enough to see off a Louise or Danny or Claudia. Then he'll wanna hope the audience are in the mood for a different type of winner this year, someone untrained who's more about entertainment and improvement.

It's strange when this was supposed to be the year of the ringer that many of those left in have no dance experience and are learning week-by-week: Ore, Ed, Greg, Rinder, maybe Claudia too (?)

.....put a sedative in Ed and Greg's pre dance drink/meal as I suspect they are his main competitors for the public vote.

At the moment he's not standing out enough. He needs to continue to improve, but also needs a wow dance.

TerryM22, is that you?

Buy a gaffa tape and you know what to do.

Indeed. I mean each series usually benefits from the odd ringer just to keep the standard up and prevent the early weeks from being really awful. But I don't think we needed any this year what with Tameka, Lesley, Rinder, Greg, Ed, Daisy, Laura, Claudia, Ore (ok Claudia probably arrives with an advantage over the others). I could happily have watched those lot all series even if they'd never reach the same standard as a Danny or Louise - but I don't need them to, they're good enough and i find most of them infinitely more interesting. Even Naga had a min breakthrough the week of her Charleston and I'd have liked to have seen if she could have built on that.

Needs to keep the fun times rolling! I vote for him and love that we have a fun comedy contestant who can actually dance to a good standard. I look forward to his samba and hope it has an insane theme and a fun song!

I did love his more classic golden age themed quickstep though. Go on The Judge!!!!

... keep his mouth closed when dancing

Keep doing what he's doing and ignore the haters.

I think it'd be more like: "Judge Not Lest Ye Be Judged ! What More Must The Fantastic Rinder Do To Secure His Place As National Treasure In The Hearts Of Strictly Viewers??"

After a credible quickstep he needs an incredible foxtrot.

...keep getting better? Which, other than his bobbins Charleston, I think he has each week. His Foxtrot has the possibility to really shine, and while I'm not silly enough to see 10s, I am silly enough to see a 35, or a 36 if he keeps his face calmer.

...change his name to Clifton?










Sorry (not sorry).

....... take out a contract on all the rest!

........Sustain the improvement in the Foxtrot.

Simples.
