General Chat

This is the closest Strictly to Remembrance Sunday, so I wonder if any of the dancers will be in uniform?

The professionals usually do a group dance to honour the Armed Forces.

Another beautiful dance from Rose and Giovanni , I thought the middle with no music was brilliant. I really would like them to win.

The energy in the dance by Rhys and Nancy was something else I'm amazed he could stand after that.

Wasn't keen on Sara's dance this week .

Dance off between Dan and Sara I think.

The disappointment of the week for me was AJ's Paso, especially after last week's Charleston, it really just wasn't her dance ..... we're now getting to the stage of the competition where you don't get many second chances, if any:-(

The surprise of the week was Dan's American Smooth but thereagain I do like it when a man dances in tails.....he wasn't Fred Astaire but an improvement.....I thought Craig was a bit mean with his score of 4 :-(

My favourite dance was Rose's Couples Choice, once again I thought it was clever choreography and beautiful to watch :-D

I also liked, in no particular order ;-), Rhys' Charleston, Sara's Argentine Tango & John's Samba :-D

So, for me, based on the dances this week the dance off should be between AJ and Tilley.....with Tilley to leave:-(

The professionals are doing a tribute dance to The Forces tonight, so I wasnt far off.

Yes, it is getting tougher all around for the celebs.

AJ was a bit of a disappointment, but I hope she does not get booted out for it.

Dan improved, so maybe he will be in for another week. I am surprised how he keeps leaving Claudia to shout over the balcony, no-one else does it.

Rose was exceptional, as was Rhys, with John being well, John, always good.

I fear Tilly maybe in the dance off with Sara.

I absolutely loved Rose's dance, so beautiful and so descriptive of her world (and almost mine if I left my aids out) The piece in the middle when the music stopped and you could literally hear a pin drop was beautiful. How did they keep the audience silent for that, or did they somehow shut off all mics?
I also like Rhys and thought Dan deserved more from Craig as he did really well. and doesn't he look the part in tails.

AJ was a disappointment, I expected more. John was good, and I think possibly tilly and Sara in the dance off. And Tilly to go.

Brilliant dances again tonight.

I think there should be an award for the best choreography of the series.

Probably Rose and Giovanni two weeks ago.

More speculation in the papers this morning about certain celebs being pushed while others lag behind. :-( :-(

Well, I have to say I was surprised at the result especially after the comments made by The Judges on Saturday night to both celebrities :-0

Perhaps Gordon promised to cook Xmas dinner for The Judges :-0 ;-) :-D

No something not quite right about the dance off.

I know Sara would have gone in the next few weeks, but there are worse dancers in the competition. How are they hanging on?

There is going to be more speculation now. There was a piece in the DM yesterday and probably other papers about the BBC keeping Tilly in because they want to curry favour with her Dad to return to the BBC from ITV. I am not saying it is true but people will believe it. I do think (although I am by not means an expert) by watching the dance off, that they were very close. I can only think the Argentine Tango is a more difficult dance technically and maybe Sara didn't perform it correctly.

I haven't read any of the newspaper articles but I do think the result stinks....especially as The Judges were unanimous in their voting, it just smells a bit :-0

I thought Sara wasn't athletic enough to make enough of the leg flicks and postures/body shaping in the Argentine Tango. I rather like Tilley and she has enough to handle at just age 20 and Uni as well, but she pushes on and works hard despite the rumours.

Rose has been a delight from the start and her last dance was beautiful. Rhys really suited the Charleston, but AJ was a disappointment. Dan has improved now he's lifted his head up, but he likes himself too much for me. John and Johannes are such perfectionists with every detail.......always a delight to watch.

Craig will not be on the show this week.

He has tested positive for Covid. :-(

Get well soon. <3

Rumours ( :-S) Darcy may be back for one week. That would be great.

I hope it isnt that bloke from Dancing With The Stars. He is so exciteable.

I'd like to see Darcy back, I really missed her when she left :-(

The problem though would be there is 3 women and 1 man, a bit lob sided.....but as it should be for only one week I'm sure the Show could live with that :-D

How about Len returning for one week. <3

Actress Cynthia Eviro is going to stand in for Craig..... apparently she has appeared in Musicals in the West End and in film :-D

Thanks for that Belle. :-)

Even when I Googled this lady I still dont really know who she is.

Never heard of her. Hope he is getting better and it will only be for one week.

Same as me Maddie & AnnG :-S

As AnnG said, hopefully just for the one week :-D

Still wish it was Darcy though :-(
