Strictly, yay!

I suspect Rhys is the giddy one?

That should have been Sara and Dan in the dance off. I'm sad that Adam is out too.

I’m sorry that Adam’s gone, he wasn’t the worst dancer this week. Neither was Tilly. It should have been Dan, he’s several levels below everybody else in my opinion. A nice man, but that shouldn’t be what it’s about.

I'm glad Tilly is still in. Dan should have been in the dance off.

Dan knows he’s the worst dancer, it must be difficult for ones like him who see others being voted out. They must feel really guilty and awkward.

I’m glad Tilly was spared. The least talented dancers weren’t in the dance off but I think the result of the dance off was fair.

I think Dan must have a big fan base who are voting and saving him from the dance off.

I remember John Sargeant years ago saying he felt awful when he was still in and other better dancers were voted out.

I dont think either Adam or Tilly should have been in the dance off. Personally I thought it should have been Sara or Dan, Adam after them too.

There were some surprised faces at being safe from the couples who thought they were in the dance off!

I believe Adam should have stayed not Tilly, but also agree Dan would have been first choice ?‍♀️

I agree, I also think Dan must have a large fan base.

Sara is not the slimmest but that outfit was horrendous as was the colour of it. Dan's ghastly light green suit was not far behind.

I love the excitement A J, John, Rose and Rhys bring to Strictly this year.
Many who watch like the “Dan” ‘s who “have never danced before”.
For me his progress is too slow and he’s a bit careful. Throw yourself into it Dan and seem like you’re hungry to win! ?
(Not that I think he will win).

I’d like to see AJ and Rose in the final, but who would win if that was the case?
I thought Tilly should have gone last night but there was never really a chance of that. Dan really needs to let himself go-or he will go, but as a non dancer from the start I think he’s done well.

AJ was also a non-dancer from the start like Dan, but Dan is an awkward mover.

I can’t remember which judge it was but one of them said to Dan he needs to push himself. He really does IMO. He should have gone this week.

Anton said something about Dan needing to be the Man!

Dan is still appearing on BBC Breakfast so I would imagine he's so short on sleep he doesn't have enough time/energy to practise as much as he should. He's very likeable but he's not a natural dancer.

We are all writing him off before his next performance!
He might just surprise us! Or maybe not.

I think that’s where Dan is at an advantage. He appears on BBC Breakfast for a couple of hours every day during which Strictly is frequently mentioned. He’s getting plenty of publicity and has lots of fans voting for him regardless of his performance.

From day one I put my head on the block for AP as eventual winner. That's me decapitated (again!). Not unhappy with his removal though.

To my amateur eye, I thought Adam’s jive was pretty good, compared to Dan and Sara. The judges keep saying how wonderful she is ‘in hold’. Maybe, but that’s no use unless you also look good on your own,

I agree .... and as a woman "in hold", she is being steered and guided by Alijaz (sp?)

Adam was criticised for looking at Katya during the jive supposedly for guidance, yet dancing in hold with a male pro is giving far more "guidance".

Sara or Dan should have left.

I thought Adam's jive was awful and he was the right one to go!

Is Strictly going to Blackpool this year? They don't seem to mention it on the show.

But then I do fast forward all the talking a lot.
