Strictly 2024

I agree about the marking this year. The judges clearly have their favourites. They had a chance to eliminate Pete a couple of weeks ago when he was in the dance off but they ejected Shayne. Due to Pete’s huge social media following he might not be in another dance off and we could see much better better dancers being eliminated. That’s the most frustrating part of Strictly 😠

I thought Pete and the trousers this weekend were awful. I don’t like him anyway but those trousers were very off putting. His dancing is poor, I hope he goes next week.
I hope Tasha wins.

I think Tasha is very good, but I think Sarah is better,
A bit more character I think, Tasha is almost too perfect x

Blimey Vito

Sparklefizz

Blimey Vito

Yes, I think he amazing.

I love Motsi’s dress.

What a kaleidoscope of colours!

Lauren looks transformed by that wig and much prettier than with her usual hairstyle which (in my view) doesn't flatter her at all.

Well done JB and Lauren. 🤞

Yes, Lauren’s wig looks better than her own short style.

I realise JB has improved anyhow, but personally I think he and Lauren are a better and more successful partnership than him and Any.

Yes, I agree Calendargirl, JB and Lauren are a good partnership.

I'm not sure Jamie's partner is really getting to grips with his frame somehow, if you get what I mean.

I think Chris is incredible but he did struggle a bit with that Paso.

I think Chris is too wooden. Be interesting to see if he survives this week.

That Quickstep by Tasha and Aljaz was fabulous.

I think it will be Jamie and Pete in the dance off.
Chris is hanging on.

Oh, that Lewis Capaldi song and that dance!

Breathtaking!

A well deserved 40!

Neil going crackers behind Tasha and Aljaz!

Oh that was well deserved 40. Absolutely beautiful.

Tasha and Aljaz were wonderful.
All three votes have gone to Chris, I am just astonished that he is able to learn these dances

Pete and Montell in the dance off?

I do so admire Chris, he must be giving such inspiration to others, and Dianne must be an amazing teacher.

What a wonderful evening of dance tonight, plus the music was just right for once. That Lewis Capaldi song is heartbreaking.

Chris is amazing. It's really difficult when voting between those with prior professional experience and someone like Chris who has overcome so much to dance.
I don't think the Paso was his best dance unfortunately.
Loved JBs Charleston- I've liked him from the beginning.
Tasha and Alijas were just beautiful with that American Smooth/foxtrot

I had been thinking the same thing about the blonde wig on Lauren. It suited her so much better than the quite harsh short cut.

JB's Charleston was such fun, loved it.

I've never seen Vito wear glasses before as he did in the training clip. Goodness, I almost hyperventilated. Some men look quite delicious in glasses. Top that with that very... err....sensual rhumba. Well it was a great way to end a miserable wet and windy day!

I agree about Lauren, that blonde wig really suited her, I'm not very keen on her rather austere haircut. I thought she looked like a dead ringer for Amanda Barrie. She is a terrific dancer and seems to have a very happy disposition.

Tasha and Alijas really deserved their 40.

And that is why Craig hanging on to his 10 paddle until then is so telling.

The way the other three judges have doled out 10’s the past few weeks has been a joke in most cases.

I bet anything Craig’s ‘10’ is what they all strive for.
