Strictly, yay!

The opening dance was beautiful. It gave me goosebumps.

Me too. Very moving.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

I agree with everything you've said Sweetpeasue.

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

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.

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 .....!!!!!)

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.

Lovely interview on ITT with Sara and Aljaz tonight.

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

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.

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.

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

Strictly is on even earlier this evening!

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

Missing Craig already.

How many poodles were sacrificed for that hair Tilly?

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

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

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.
