So given George's stitch up with K Pop, Coldplay, and Harry Styles for a jive lol (in successive weeks) what makes you think they go from putting him bottom of the leader board behind the likes of the terrible LaVoix and Elle, to suddenly to giving him the tools to win the show? Genuinely intrigued.

I reckon Jay was so far ahead of Kelly in the voting that he could have stayed at home and won the final. Probably just wanted to create a bit of competition.

Indeed, the producers opted not to reprise the best dance ever seen on scd (at that point, or subsequently), for a bit of competition
 lol they were absolutely desperate to get him beat. |

I don't see any of them as stitch ups. Coldplay are perfect for the core audience.
The K-Pop nonsense is huge with the kids. Many of whom no doubt watch with their parents on a saturday night. It fits with the prods being desperate to get the views on tiktok. Harry styles and one direction were the biggest act in the world at one stage. So again hardly a deramp The comments he's received every week have always been hugely positive. Certainly in comparison to Lewis, who is clearly the best dancer I imagine they put him bottom last night to create some drama and a shock elim. Which they got |

I did lay some off before the final though. When he wasn't doing the Jive. I was hoping they'd push the lovely Georgia
 , but they pushed the awful Kellie instead |
|
By:
My recollection of that series now was that Jay pretty much only had that standout dance, and they were chipping away at him for most weeks after that Jive. I think he went to 8-1 or something extraordinary. But in those days they had a vote cut off, after the cut off, bizarrely the judges stopped attacking him, and he was smashed back in :)
|
|
By:
I remember that being a hard watch in the final. But the nerves were eased when a few dances in the judges comments suddenly took a turn accepting Jay as the winner :)
|
|
By:
It never really transpired why they went so shady on Jay. Unless it really was down to Len an his betting proclivities.
|
|
By:
Yep, dodgy Len I reckon. They all looked sick when they didn't get Kellie over the line. Which suggests it was probably close
|
|
By:
Gonna put my neck on the line and say this is the weekend we get a flip flop at the top

Alex dancing to MAggie May next week,
Song rings a bell, no idea who sings it though. |
|
By:
How do you know what she's dancing to next week?
|
|
By:
She had it on in the background on an insta story, said she was hoping to get though as she'd be dancing to 1 of her favourite songs next
|
|
By:
Can't beat a bit of Rod to play to key demographic. Not really sure about the song choice for this week. But a decent Salsa can win the competition so fingers crossed.
|

By:
Rod?
|

By:
Maggie May-Rod Stewart

|
By:
i'll google him
|
|
By:
Haha
|
|
By:
You on the Alex train?
|
|
By:
Karen
|
|
By:
I'll Google her
|
|
By:
She's the 1 who topped the vote first week, been given unsuitable choices since and now has all the dances she'll be good at upcoming.
Saved you a google |
|
By:
You topping up at 50s?
|
|
By:
Correct
|
|
By:
Nice food luck
|
|
By:
Good*
|
|
By:
Thank you very much
And good luck to you with your Alex and Vicky bets Though after you backed them so early in the show at big prices luck won't be necessary so much for you. Always nice to see someone pick a big priced runner and do well with it. |

By:
I don't really see her as a decent pick
Finally something we can agree on ;) |
|
By:
|
|
By:
Claiming you don't see George as a decent pick is a certain level of denial, to be fair. Since he went odds on in October! But, you're entitled to an opinion of course :)
|
|
By:
One of the faves from the offset, came into the show with a huge ready made support. The only way it's a decent pick is if you backed him from the start and cashed out when he went evens.
|
|
By:
He's still evens
 He opened about 7 or 8/1. Was backed a little. Then drifted after Lewis was named as a replacement. The drifted to 20 after the launch show, for some strange reason. So I think he qualifies as a 'decent' pick |
|
By:
In percentage terms, he's clearly not just a decent pick, but the best pick. As things stand
|
|
By:
But he remains null and void if he continues to drift out, then gets beat?
|
|
By:
Clearly everyone is eventually null and void in the end. Apart from the winner.
George has hardly drifted. Despite 3 poor weeks. So not sure where this drift is, that you are seeing There's at least one very keen backer. I wouldn't back at these prices and have laid a little after his disappointing Jive, but given he's hardly drifted after 3 poor weeks, if has a good week, he's likely to shorten a fair bit |
