Normally at this point in the series, I have an all out favourite that I sit on my sofa rooting for. Yet this year, this is not the case. I like all the celebrities that remain, and find watching the results show a little unsettling. I simply don’t want to see any of them go home, which I understand defeats the purpose of both the Sunday night show and the competition itself.
I love Holly Valance and I have for the past two weeks been concerned when she was in the bottom two. In her audios she comes across as relaxed and laid back and I just love that Aussie approach. She also looks absolutely amazing week in and week out. Much the same has to be said for Jason Donovan although he does, to me at least, appear more competitive than his Aussie counterpart. When he’s interviewed by Claudia Winkleman or Zoe Ball on Strictly - It takes two, who can’t help but want to root for him too? He just comes across as so likeable.
In terms of favourites based solely on dancing, then I would if pushed have to say Harry Judd and Chelsea Healey. They both give incredibly strong performances every week and in my very humble opinion, they’re likely to be the last two standing as the competition nears its conclusion. But then let’s not forget Alex Jones and Robbie Savage. Not least because of the partnerships with James and Ola Jordan respectively. Both of these pairs are brilliantly entertaining on Strictly - It takes two, on their audios and on the dance floor. I love watching them.
With the celebrities that I was not really enamoured with now out of the competition, I just can’t decide who I want to go home tomorrow or who I want to win. I sort of wish that the climax of the show was not in sight. In past series it has always seemed far easier not only to pick a firm favourite and also to take instant, and inexplicable, dislikes to other celebrities competing. Yet this year is a conundrum, although if I could use my vote to oust the presenters then I would.
I appreciate that Sir Bruce is a TV legend, but I find him and his jokes antiquated. Daly, I find is just not that entertaining. Am I the only one that thinks a pairing of Claudia Winkleman (who’s one lines and quips on the Sunday shows always make me chuckle) and Anton Du Beke (who comes across as having an excellent sense of humour) would be an instant family favourite?
