I see ITV have announced the launch of their rival show Dance Dance Dance in 2017 :-\

I thought Daisy accepted being in the dance off with very good grace. It must have been a shock with how good she is but she didn't show it.

I felt Lesley hadn't listened when the judges had told her about keeping her shoulders down and leaning back to get the 'vase' effect. I think she was superb and has such stamina and was better than some, but would have looked much better with that better posture.

I think most of the contestants listen with good grace Ann. Daisy is a lovely dancer, very graceful.

I wonder if Lesley was getting a bit weary. Who knows what happens behind the scenes.

Why did Louise go to Paris to practice under the Eiffel Tower? Any more than Greg went to Stratford. I know it is an entertainment programme but it is a bit excessive I think.

If there is to be a rival show on ITV, then we will be tearing our hair out!

:-D :-D :-D

Before it even begins tonight, I am still with Greg and Ed being booted out. Was watching It Takes Two in the week, and am going on that.

Piece in the paper this morning that The Curse of Strictly may be affecting a couple of the couples.

One of my least faves STILL in, I hope he goes soon.

:-D

Still sticking with Greg. He looks very lacklustre. I must say that Ed was brilliant in some strange way. At least he dances with gusto. No technique, but gusto!!

Daisy was very good, but could have used her hands a bit more, with flamenco movements. Mr Handsome made a couple of boo-boos, but I am willing to forgive him.

Ore was not so good this week, but I don't think he will be going anywhere soon.

Can someone please explain why Kevin and Louise come down the stairs first each week, so that they are slap bang in the middle of the contestants?

Clever marketing?

Evening MtG.... :-D

Time for Ed to go, better dancers have gone before him.

Would love to see Anastasia go.

Perhaps Kevin and Louise are always first because the are ready first from make-up :-D

I think Anastasia should go.
Daisy's pasa doble was enjoyable because it was authentic.
Ed made us all laugh. I think he does try hard,

Yes Mr. M you could be right. And piggies might fly over Elstree. Just watch next week and see who is slap bang in the middle of the screen. And as for that dopey kick!

Anyway, we will know soon enough. Who will be cha-cha-cha-ing out of the door.

Did not enjoy last nights show at all.

Think the make up and costumes distracted me
and the majority of the dancers from doing their
best.

The bottom two... Ed and Anastasia for me, although
Ore, Danny and Laura were poor.

For me it was the worst music night of the series - and the worst Halloween one ever.

Loved some of the costumes and make up but the choice of music was awful.

I dont think any of the dancers were very good last night

Still feel very upset Anton was out as he loves getting dressed up for Halloween and by all the stories it is his last dancing year.

I know who I would like to see in the dance off but cant see it happen as she did one of the better dances last night - just dont like the sugary sweet attitude of her.

I make it Anastasia & Louise in the dance off as she was off form so was Mr handsome but he is too well liked to be in the dance off.

Did anyone else see Anastacia shrug Daisy off and the end of the show ?

That was rather uncomfortable .
Daisy didn't do an after show interview either?

I did not see that GL, what a shame. Daisy looked really disappointed at being in the Dance Off for the second week running.

It was a bit up and down this week, but I still think Greg should have gone. Ed is far too popular to go yet, I just hope he does not stay when another person who is more deserving gets the boot.

gL yes I saw that she shrugged her off and turned to somebody else.

I'm fed up with Claudia and Tess - they're as bad as Brucie!!!

MotownGal

MotownGal Report 31 Oct 2016 09:42

Beloved said he saw the shrug. Daisy ended up kissing the back of her head. I must watch it back again.

I don't mind Claudia. But unfortunately I think Tess is a little lacklustre.

It made really uncomfortable viewing MotownGal.

By the time all the hugs and kisses were done, Daisy was left standing on the outside of the mass group hug.

Right at the end of the show, all the celebs said their piece about the night.
All except Daisy !

Tess did say that Daisy had a very difficult week but, I'm now wondering if her distress had anything to do with being in the bottom two last week ?

I've never liked "over smiley" Tess Daly

Annx Report 31 Oct 2016 10:38

I noticed that too GL. It looked quite unpleasant as she turned her back on her as she approached and I didn't see Daisy go near her after.

I've said before that it's Tess's voice I don't like......the louder she speaks, the lower it goes! I thought I would like Claudia being in it, but she has got too silly! All that faff she keeps adding when the contestants are waiting for their scores adds nothing to the show. Give me Zoey on ITT any day.

I did love it when Darcy was telling Judge Rinder not to pout so much and he made a kiss face at her!! She couldn't help but laugh.

Before the show started on Saturday I thought that it would be Anastacia and Laura in the Dance Off.
However, while watching the show, I thought that Laura danced very well, so was likely to go through, Daisy looked nervous throughout, but had possibly done enough to stay. Ore and Danny were both below par, and looked very worried after their performances.

So I changed my mind and thought that Ore and Danby would be the unlucky two.

A few of the contestants looked overwhelmed by their make-up. Especially Ore and Daisy. Perhaps adding to their 'not so good'. performances.

I had noticed Anastacia and her attitude to Daisy after the dance-off. Most disconcerting. I wonder if A. said anything to D. before or after appearing to be so rude.

I know that Edd isn't a good dancer, but he is a great entertainer. So perhaps he won't go next week, even if he is at the bottom of the leader board.
At the moment my feelings are that Louise will be in the dznce-off next week.

But I will probably change my mind a few times between now and the Results Show.

Sunday Night's show is filmed on Saturday night but it explains why the couples are still in their dance clothes with the same makeup.

I was away last weekend and missed last week's Saturday show.
I logged onto Twitter on Sunday morning to check what was happening
Without thinking, I looked at the tweets from someone named "Strictly Spoiler"
I thought he/she was making a prediction?

This person tweets the dance off results late Saturday night/early Sunday morning

Therefore, last Sunday morning, I knew that Daisy and Lesley were in the dance off and Lesley would get booted out.

Yesterday morning, I couldn't help but look in again....Daisy and Anastacia were to be in the dance off and Anastacia would be voted off.

I need to avoid Twitter on Sundays !
