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)

Kadinsky I was thinking that yesterday till someone reminded me he made it to the final last year. Was it with Emma? They were a lovely partnership

Kandinsky Sun 01-Nov-20 20:05:42

Anton is in his 50’s so will never get paired with a young one who’s actually really good.

Sparklefizz Sun 01-Nov-20 20:04:47

Anton's in his late 50s, I think, so maybe he would struggle with 12 hours a day of practice 5 days a week, and is happier for an easier ride.

Yes, Jacqui was very gracious in defeat.

Kandinsky Sun 01-Nov-20 20:04:00

I wonder how much she got paid for appearing on strictly?
Poor Anton looked so embarrassed -he might as well have been dragging a lamppost around the dance floor.

I don't think anyone likes Anton somehow judging by the partners he's had.

I just said that to DH!

she may not be good but she's better than me.

Ellianne Sun 01-Nov-20 20:00:52

Yes, honeyrose, she sounds like a nice person.

honeyrose Sun 01-Nov-20 19:59:25

Yes - Jacqui’s gone. Not a surprise - but she was very gracious in defeat. Poor Anton has not got very far again this season, bless him.

The woman clomps along like a carthorse grin

Callistemon Sun 01-Nov-20 19:56:37

She's out

Sparklefizz Sun 01-Nov-20 19:55:17

Aaarrgh! Jacqui really is terrible!

Callistemon Sun 01-Nov-20 19:55:10

Why on earth do erstwhile politicians want to appear on Strictly confused

Although I must say I warmed to Ed.

Callistemon Sun 01-Nov-20 19:53:05

HRVY is doing well but he’s not very bright bless him, he can hardly string a sentence together
Well, he can't even spell his own name, TwiceAsNice

EllanVannin Sun 01-Nov-20 19:42:29

It stemmed from last year Sparklefizz, when he made such a song and dance about an injury he sustained during Strictly so had to drop out.

Sparklefizz Sun 01-Nov-20 19:32:45

I don't like him either. He's smug and smarmy.
But actually I didn't think his dancing was too bad, so maybe the audience aren't keen on him either?

EllanVannin Sun 01-Nov-20 19:28:01

What makes me dislike Jamie ? And he's in the dance off too.

Sparklefizz Sun 01-Nov-20 19:27:14

Max has got "go to bed" eyes (am I allowed to say that?)

Sparklefizz Sun 01-Nov-20 19:23:47

Yes, scary. I've always been a wuss where Halloween is concerned shock

Ellianne Sun 01-Nov-20 19:19:42

Scary opening number, but good.

Sparklefizz Sun 01-Nov-20 19:13:06

I agree about Jacqui TwiceasNice. In fact, Craig said that Anton's idea of "sticking her on a swing at the end" was genius, and saved her having to dance a few more steps.

TwiceAsNice Sun 01-Nov-20 18:39:11

Think Jacqui will go she’s a terrible dancer and OMG the fans it was awful! Bill Bailey is better than I expected but I really don’t like him . HRVY is doing well but he’s not very bright bless him, he can hardly string a sentence together , but he was touched to see his man. Please not dozens of Nans this series! I do love strictly though I do need something to look forward to.

Yes, Shirley did have breast implants and had them removed last year. I believe she went for a routine breast scan and was told that with implants in they can't get a clear picture of the breast. This alarmed her and she had them removed asap.

PamelaJ1 Sun 01-Nov-20 17:36:07

I am sure that Shirley had breast implants then had them removed.
Is Craig on happy pills? He seems to be being quite nice.
Bill was such a surprise.

Deedaa Sun 01-Nov-20 17:07:16

7 year old GS2 told his mother that he couldn't believe she'd never heard of HRVY because "He's really famous!" grin

Luckylegs Sun 01-Nov-20 16:13:58

I agree, Caroline Quentin’s face was a picture! She was either trying very hard not to cry after the flak she got last week or she wasn’t happy about something.

I’m not that impressed by the boxer girl, she is, obviously, solid as a rock, heavy on her feet and too mannish for me. Lovely smile though. It wasn’t fair to let them have couple’s choice so early. Poor Jacqui Smith, fancy giving an older lady who isn’t a natural dancer, the samba to do in week 2! Mean, and mean of Craig to only give her 2. It wouldn’t make any difference if he’d given her a 5, I don’t think anyone else got less than a 5.
