Strictly, yay!

Really felt this week 3 votes wasn’t enough, could easily have chosen about 6, several were so good.

Oh wow! That Paso Doble! I watched it twice and didn't want it to finish.

An amazing show tonight, quite restored my faith in Strictly.
Superb dancing from Tom, Rhys, A.J and I do like Sarah. Rose sent a tingle down my back, as did John and Johannes, but doesn't the powerful music make it.

Rhys & Nancy (he looked like the professional! , John & Johannes - wow! So any amazing performances tonight.
Refreshingly I didn’t hear any of the celebs complaining about how tiring the training is.
Dan must be losing sleep and stamina - he is up at 3 am on weekdays for his “proper job”.

I thought the costumes had gone up a notch tonight. Some of them have not been stunning. AJ for me.

It was a brilliant show tonight. My goodness, the hair, makeup and costumes department excellent themselves. Can't wait to see what they bring out of the bag for Halloween week.

I thought Rose was superb, as was Rhys. But oh my gosh, John and Johannes were magnificent.

Agreed, best dancers and performances for a long time- hard to choose.

Wonderful show. John and Johannes were fabulous. Tom and Amy did a very energetic performance after their covid isolation.

Tilly didn’t hit the spot tonight. I think she’ll be in the dance off with Dan.

Wow! What an evening of fantastic dancing and it's only week 3!!

For me the 3 main contenders are A J, Rose, and John & Johannes, and I've voted for them. Fabulous choreography.
I also enjoyed Tom's jive.

I was someone who wasn't keen on Anton becoming a judge but I take back my opinions because he's actually quite good with constructive criticism.

Did anyone notice Judi's worrying gasping for breath which went on for quite a while after she'd stopped dancing?

Amazing performances tonight and the costumes, makeup and sets were fabulous.

So many amazing performances tonight. It's difficult to name them all but for me Joanne's and John's Paso was the stand alone dance of the night. I think they're going to take home the trophy. Oh Rose was so beautiful, so moving. Rhys was incredible in the spiderman themed routine. So glad I've got tonight's performances recorded. Can't forget AJs too.

Johannes and John were amazing as was Rhys. Brilliant show tonight.

Oh my goodness Johannes and John ?

Nice for Johannes to get John after Caroline Quentin, was that only last year?

What a fabulous show. John and Johannes were brilliant. Amy and her partner too. All of them in fact. Superb show.

Some really good performances tonight.

AJ, John and Rose for me.

Does anyone else think that Motse has come out in her curlers tonight?

Yes. ?

A J and Kai for me, really beautiful. I know Greg is not the best dancer but I enjoy his performances.

So glad that Tom and Amy have recovered well from Covid. I was particularly concerned for her as I read that she has health issues with Crohn's disease. I enjoyed their dance, but my favourites so far are AJ and Kai, very powerful.

AJ and Rose are standout dancers so far tonight for me.
Judges marks seem more consistent this week too.

A well deserved high score for Rose. Their dance was beautiful.

Greg looked like the milk tray man not James Bond.

Does anyone else think that Motse has come out in her curlers tonight?

Poor Dan seemed to lose his concentration tonight.

I thought Nina danced poorly and was very stompy. Having said that, it was too complicated for week 2.
The same with Katie’s jive which was completely lacklustre. Surely these type of dances should come later in the programming when they’ve all got going a bit? Who can forget Jill Halfpennys jive or that of Jay and Aliona. Katie wasn’t a patch on either of them. Very poor I thought. But was it her fault? Should the jive come later in the series?
