So, fellow fans, what do we think of the lineup? A very mixed bunch, personally only know of five, I’m sure we will soon have our favourites. Can’t wait for the glitz and glamour to brighten the long dark nights looming?

I'm not feeling the strictly love tonight. They're all a bit meh for me so far. I think they're being very cautious. I don't like the couple's choice dances and was surprised at Tilly's marks.

Years ago, we would just have thought that Motsi was having a ‘bad hair day’.

TillyTrotter Sat 20-Nov-21 19:36:24

Too many Pittcity and all in vain. It’s a 1 from me for that hairdo.

Pittcity Sat 20-Nov-21 19:31:14

How many poodles were sacrificed for that hair Tilly?

Gwyneth Sat 20-Nov-21 19:30:40

Missing Craig already.

TillyTrotter Sat 20-Nov-21 19:22:09

Really enjoying Musicals Night couples’ performances so far tonight and the Pro’s opening dance was splendid!
Motsi’s hair …….. hhmmmmm ?

Strictly is on even earlier this evening!

I doubt that they can see all the nuances - we certainly miss bits by not being able to see the whole picture.

Why can't Craig appear via Zoom to give his scores? (unless he is feeling absolutely dreadful, of course) Bruno used to appear via Zoom from the US for a while.

Lovely interview on ITT with Sara and Aljaz tonight.

Did he say he was leaving for good? I keep reading stories he is?

Janette has confirmed he wasn’t leaving for good. He just meant leaving this series.

I think they might simply reduce favourites to the remaining three if it is only for one week. Love to have Darcey back though.

I’d like to see one of the ex Pro dancers stepping in for Craig. Someone like Erin who is excellent when she’s been on It takes two.

Two more great shows at the weekend, I always enjoy watching.

Yes Grannynannywanny, I just heard about Craig, ( maybe he was feeling off-colour on Saturday, & that's why he scored that 4 .....!!!!!) wink

Grannynannywanny Mon 15-Nov-21 18:36:11

I read Craig has tested positive for covid and will be missing from the show this weekend. I hope he’s not too badly affected.

I wonder who’ll stand in for him.

Thought the opening dance was absolutely beautiful, it brought me to tears.
Glad Tilly went through.

Casdon Sun 14-Nov-21 20:34:14

I’ll miss Aljaz, he’s my favourite male dancer, but of the two in the dance off I think it was right for Sara to go.

It’s a no from me to James Blunt singing that song though, I can’t hear it without being reminded of Bryn and Gwen driving back to Barry from Billericay.

Thought it was close tonight but was rooting for Tilly and she was on top form in the dance off.
James Blunt's solo song at piano about saying goodbye to his love was beautiful.
Can't wait for musicals themed dancing. See Rhys will be doing the jive so think he's going to be good - - right up his street with his boundless energy.

I agree with everything you've said Sweetpeasue.

muse Sun 14-Nov-21 20:21:16

So pleased AJ wasn't in the dance off. I have really enjoyed watching Sara. Lovely person.

Sara and Tilly both put in a huge effort for their dance offs but Tilly has more to give and I’m not sure Sara had.
Aljaz did a marvellous job of showcasing Sara’ strengths and they were a very likeable couple.

Kim19 Sun 14-Nov-21 20:04:57

Thank goodness we saved AJ. Just shows that voters are very discerning even though that dance was pretty awful. Yippee! It's a bad time to have a hiccup, though.

Sparklefizz Sun 14-Nov-21 20:04:49

Well, Dan's fan base have kept him in, although his dancing was definitely better this week. Glad Tilly has stayed in.

The opening dance was beautiful. It gave me goosebumps.

Me too. Very moving.
