Well we traditionally have a thread - so I am starting one.

All mothers of contestants are strictly (!!!) barred!

I'm rooting for JJ Chalmers! (I hope that's his name)

Ellianne Sat 12-Dec-20 19:19:10

Ranvir comes up with the goods every week. She's safe.

rafichagran Sat 12-Dec-20 19:19:09

Ranvir was beautiful tonight.

EllanVannin Sat 12-Dec-20 19:18:28

That waltz was lovely.

Sparklefizz Sat 12-Dec-20 19:18:07

So tender and beautiful.

Looking forward to Harvey. Ranvir and Giovanni are a lovely partnership. Missing JJ. One of the things I enjoy is the variety of music.

Grannynannywanny Sat 12-Dec-20 19:14:13

I thought Karen was fab

Ellianne Sat 12-Dec-20 19:12:37

Me neither Sparklefizz.

Sparklefizz Sat 12-Dec-20 19:12:32

I'm not going to take note of the judges' comments as they say one thing, then mark another.

Sparklefizz Sat 12-Dec-20 19:11:00

Hi there!
I thought his "bum spin" was a bit messy.... but I am not a Jamie fan.

Grannynannywanny Sat 12-Dec-20 19:10:21

I was thinking the same Ellianne

Ellianne Sat 12-Dec-20 19:09:15

Evening!
Jamie not quite on the ball for me tonight. Got better.

please note! it was Musicals night, they were dressed for the musical they were asigned too, The matching 'school uniforms' were copies from the musical 'Everybodys talking about Jamie' on at the Apollo theatre London!

The pro dance from Priscilla Queen of the desert! Currently on in London....... etc etc

Well I thought they were going to perform the school desk number from Mathilda when they started!

I don’t agree about Bill, he’s got excellent timing, and doesn’t miss steps or bungle them often compared with most of the others - I think people are prejudiced against the way he looks, or maybe his weight/age in that he doesn’t look like a professional dancer - but his actual dancing is good, and that’s what he’s being marked on.

I just don’t know how Bill keeps surviving . The judges all gush about him and I think he’s very mediocre. Sorry to see JJ go but I’m sure he’ll be thrilled to see his children again.

Beauregard Mon 07-Dec-20 09:18:15

Bill too. Same expression whatever dance he does.

Puzzler61 Mon 07-Dec-20 09:00:45

I’m trying to imagine Jamie doing a Rumba - and failing!

NotSpaghetti Sun 06-Dec-20 23:16:27

Maybe he'll go next time Marilla.

Grannynannywanny Sun 06-Dec-20 23:14:51

I noticed just before the judges were about to give their dance off decisions that Shirley was sitting with her face in her hands.

I wonder if she was already aware that it was a split vote and she was going to have to make the final decision. She looked very uncomfortable.

Hellogirl1 Sun 06-Dec-20 23:07:54

Grannynannywanny, that`s just what I said to my daughter! Len didn`t like props, especially the over use of them. Most of Jamie and Karen`s dance consisted of moving those flipping desks about and jumping on and off `em!

Grannynannywanny Sun 06-Dec-20 22:50:20

I usually love Karen’s dancing. But I’m not enjoying her pairing with Jamie this season. They bound out each week in hyperactive mode and I find them too over the top.

They’ve morphed into the terrible twins with their matching outfits and hair. I think if Len Goodman was still there on the panel they wouldn’t have survived the dance off.

He’d have marked them down for all the furniture moving in this weekend’s routine.

Marilla Sun 06-Dec-20 22:18:14

Stunning dancing from Dianne and Anton.
I see tiresome Jamie got through again.

paddyanne Sun 06-Dec-20 22:11:24

I was sorry JJ went,I thought his dance last noght was miles better than Bills yet the marking was n't showing that.I will admit to not being a dancer so maybe it was just me .
I'm sure he'll have got a lot from the show and be glad to get home to his family

Callistemon Sun 06-Dec-20 21:58:07

I like Joe a lot. I think he has a fun side but is quieter than Diane. I think he will develop!
He was hedge laying this evening, kittylester!

Hellogirl1 Sun 06-Dec-20 21:54:54

Another here who loved Anton and Diane`s dancing, but the singer, terrible!
I was so disappointed to see JJ leave tonight, I was so hoping to see the back of Jamie, he gives me the irrits!
Looking forward to HRVY`s rumba next week.
