Pleased Motsi isn’t wearing another huge bow.

Don’t think her bosom needs any emphasis.

Sparklefizz Sun 13-Dec-20 19:52:05

Shirley looks Hollywood-tastic with that dress and her hair.

honeyrose Sun 13-Dec-20 19:56:25

Sparklefizz - I agree, Shirley’s dress is beautiful. Very elegant and sassy. I’m not keen on seeing the cleavage she often displays.

LullyDully Sun 13-Dec-20 20:06:16

Claudia looks She reminds me of Cathy McGowan.

LullyDully Sun 13-Dec-20 20:07:50

Good decision.

Sparklefizz Sun 13-Dec-20 20:10:24

Oh. Sigh. I don't think either Jamie or Bill are "finals material".

Beauregard Sun 13-Dec-20 20:11:06

Yes. I thought they save Ranvir. But Jamie is a better all rounder.

Beauregard Sun 13-Dec-20 20:12:09

* they'd

Ellianne Sun 13-Dec-20 20:14:54

You're right Beauregard. Ranvir can only dance when hanging onto Gio. Jamie does move quite well on his own.

Calendargirl Sun 13-Dec-20 20:17:39

Bill and Jamie just making up the numbers though, it’s either Maisie or HRVY if any justice.

Millie22 Sun 13-Dec-20 20:18:44

Craig looked very undecided I've never seen him like that before.

Grannynannywanny Sun 13-Dec-20 20:58:35

LullyDully your mention of Cathy McGowan reminded me of something I read recently. I hadn’t realised Cathy is married to Michael Ball. They’ve been together 22 years.

LullyDully Sun 13-Dec-20 21:04:56

Yes I was surprised to find that when I googled her.

Kate1949 Sun 13-Dec-20 21:05:39

Oh yes Michael Ball and Cathy McGowan. I don't think they're married though.

Marilla Sun 13-Dec-20 22:52:20

Another Jay McGuiness jive fan. It was an amazing performance.

pensionpat Sun 13-Dec-20 23:27:11

I often watch Jay and Aliona’s jive on You Tube. Fantastic. And it was in week 3.

LullyDully Mon 14-Dec-20 08:26:50

I thought the jives and charlstons were a bit lacklustre this year. A few not bad but not as fun as usual.

Sparklefizz Mon 14-Dec-20 08:37:05

Jay's jive was so sharp. This year's have been rather "limp". And generally the choreography hasn't been quite as exciting as normal. I loved Ranvir and Gio's Argentine Tango but have missed input from Kevin and Katya who used to choreograph gripping dances. Why did Kevin leave?

Deedaa Mon 14-Dec-20 09:36:13

As far as I remember Cathy McGowan and Michael Ball got together when she went to interview him. It seemed such an unlikely pairing at the time but it's certainly lasted.

Charleygirl5 Mon 14-Dec-20 10:10:29

I agree, I have never seen Craig so undecided in his life.

Anybody could win it this week.

Calendargirl Mon 14-Dec-20 12:00:50

Perhaps Craig was trying to decide which couple would make a more watchable final, as I’m sure that comes into their decisions, despite the dance off supposedly being the only way they should judge it.

Interesting fact and yes they seem an unlikely couple. She used to be married to Hywell Bennett. Thought he was gorgeous grin

Pleased Bill got through. He has a huge public following. Pity about the poor camera work on his dance.

Sparklefizz Kevin left because of his theatre commitments. -Apparently-, he now regrets this with all theatres now closed.

Judy54 Mon 14-Dec-20 14:02:54

You are so right Elliane I would definitely hang on to Gio and never let him go grin

NotSpaghetti Mon 14-Dec-20 15:14:10

Bill is way too stiff for me. Jaimie I can't bear though agree he is better than Bill. Disappointing choices this year.

Puzzler61 Mon 14-Dec-20 15:20:25

There is a bit of a backlash against Shirley in some of the news today for voting Jamie through to the final in preference to Ranvir.
However, if the public had put in more votes for Ranvir she wouldn’t have been in the bottom two.
