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)

Grannynannywanny Sat 14-Nov-20 20:42:34

Any predictions for the dance off tomorrow night?

Ngaio1 Sat 14-Nov-20 20:48:35

Did anyone note the wearing from Max tonight? I did not so interested!

Grannynannywanny Sat 14-Nov-20 20:50:41

Ngaio1 I didn’t notice it other than that Claudia commented.

I'm worried for JJ. Bottom of the leader board and lots of social media posts tonight disapproving of PH. Shame.

A couple of people have mentioned the group dance that's only on a Sunday night. Although everyone knows it's all done ( not the group dance) on the Saturday night.
Why do they maintain this silly pretence?

Grannynannywanny Sat 14-Nov-20 20:54:52

Does anyone else reach for the remote as soon as Strictly ends? I can’t bear the next programme The Wall. Or as the presenter calls it ..the Waw!

Puzzler61 Sat 14-Nov-20 20:55:12

Jamie in the dance off and maybe Maisie GrannyNW
Who do you think?

Same here!

petra thanks for putting me right. I don’t know why I was expecting it tonight as I always look forward to it on a Sunday evening!

I’m thinking JJ and Max for the dance off. If Caroline lands in the dance off with either of them I think the judges will save her. They all seem to love Caroline.

Sparklefizz Sat 14-Nov-20 21:04:41

Actually seeing PH supporting JJ put me off a bit too. I know they are genuinely friends but it just seemed too much, and PH is not the popular person over here that he once was.

But also JJ's dance wasn't that good tonight because everyone has upped their game and he hasn't, so I think he will be in the dance off ... and perhaps Jamie or Caroline. Caroline hasn't done any energetic dances yet and I don't think she'd be able to cope with them. Can you see her doing the jive? I can't.

Maisie wasn't as good as usual tonight but she has been very good in the past.

I looked in for a few dances to see how Anton was getting on as a judge. He seemed great at it. Luckily I caught Bill's dance and was amazed. I switched over after that. Enough for me.

They think we're daft, but they're daft to think that!

Same here - Neither I or Mr R can stand the presenter!

Charleygirl5 Sun 15-Nov-20 10:04:57

I have no idea what The Wall is but I did not fancy it so Strictly was all that I watched. I think it will be JJ and Max in the dance-off. I agree, Prince Harry did not help JJ at all, even if they were/are friends.

Next Saturday I think is week 5 so surely if Caroline survives she will be doing a jive or Charleston very soon? That will be a sight to see because she cannot move far or quickly on the dance floor.

TwiceAsNice Sun 15-Nov-20 10:22:33

Can’t stand Caroline or Bill so will be glad when they’re gone! There’s something about Bill Bailey that gives me the creeps

Charleygirl5 Sun 15-Nov-20 10:31:23

I would like to take a pair of scissors and razor to his head- his hair is horrendous.

This whole idea that people think they are keeping up a pretence baffles me. We get the results show on a Sunday to raise BBC ratings on two nights in a row. They are very careful to phrase everything they say NOT to suggest that they are all getting together again on the Sunday!

Ellianne Sun 15-Nov-20 10:58:09

They do slip up very occasionally on that one, more so when Brucie was there.

Calendargirl Sun 15-Nov-20 12:08:14

I had put my votes in before Motsi announced it.

Grannynannywanny Sun 15-Nov-20 19:43:25

I wonder who will join Maisie in the dance off?

Millie22 Sun 15-Nov-20 19:45:12

Unfortunately I think Max.

Ellianne Sun 15-Nov-20 19:45:27

Hmmm. I think the uniform saved JJ and rightly so!

Sparklefizz Sun 15-Nov-20 19:45:56

I was expecting JJ. Pleeease not Max.

Pittcity Sun 15-Nov-20 19:46:45

Why why why has Caroline been saved?

I agree that Motsi looks much better au naturelle.

Sparklefizz Sun 15-Nov-20 19:46:49

Maybe Jamie (hopefully??)
