Really high standard again last night.

Rose, John, AJ, Tom and Rhys will not be going home for sure.

I too think it will be Ugo in the dance off, but will they pit him against a better dancer just to make it easier for the judges.

I thought Ugo was the one likely to be in the dance off but it did cross my mind to wonder if he was really well enough to return this week. covid does vary with the length of recovery time, the worry is that they will push themselves to recover and do some permanent damage. the problem with so many catching it is possibly because this year they seem to be continuing in their normal jobs so are mixing with other people. (maybe on transport?)

I loved Rose's Viennese Waltz and also liked John, Tilly and AJ. Dan has improved a lot but it could be him and Ugo in the dance off or maybe Sara. Not easy to tell as they all have their own following.

I think the standard is really high this year :-0

Last night I thought even Dan had upped his game :-D

I am very much a ballroom fan and my favourites last night were Rose's Viennese Waltz, Tilly's Foxtrot & AJ's Argentine Tango :-D

The Rumba is always a difficult dance for the celebrities and last night it was no exception. Although I have to say that I thought Sara's dance was way better than Ugo"s :-0

I think it should be Dan & Ugo in the Dance Off with Ugo to go but I think Dan has a large following so it could be Sara but still with Ugo to go :-(

Another good week of dancing. Rose and Giovanni, John and Johannes and AJ and Kai were the best for me. Really enjoying watching this year.

Although Sara is good I just haven't warmed to her at all.

Ugo might be in bottom 2 this week

I heard that too on the news.

Falling like flies this year. :-(

Judi has tested positive so she and her partner, Graziano, are isolating and will not appear in this Saturday's Strictly :-(

Yes we had predicted Greg but I still can't warm to Judi, her dance was not that good so she could well be next....... but who knows???

What a shame Greg had to go.

I have only ever seen him in serious drama, so it was lovely to see him smile so much.

Week 5 looming. :-D

I think Shirley liked Greg :-0. Shirley said something like "both made a lot of mistakes this evening, totting them up I would have gone for the person who made the fewer mistakes,......the person I would save is.Greg" :-0

I think we all agreed that it should be Greg :-)

Onto Week 5 :-D

Well, you all thought the same as me, it was a mish-mash this week.

I too did not know about Rose's hearing aids. Hopefully she will get them fixed and back to form next week. She is such a lovely dancer.

Adam and Katya's tango had a lot of lifts, but not enough footwork for me.

I think Dan and Greg in the dance off too, but I think Greg is popular with the audience, so maybe not.

Tom looked great in his tails, and Sarah surprises me more every week.

Ah I missed that about Rose Belle, I didn't realise she had a problem with her hearing aid. I don't know if she has one or two aids, I imagine two, but from personal experience, if one was broken it would throw her off balance. Hope she can get it fixed, not easy these days if like this area they are still doing everything remotely.
I am not keen on Katya either but I agree she must really trust Adam and the lifts looked effortless.

I thought the two Tangos were by far the best :-D Sara has turned out to be a surprise package and looked and danced the part :-0. The lifts that Adam did were exceptional for a male celeb but I guess his upper body is very strong being a breast stroke swimmer :-D I'm not a fan of Katya but you have to admire her for trusting Adam with those lifts :-0

A lot didn't do as well as they have done, Rose, John and AJ :-( But they will still go through to Week 5 :-D. It must have been even more difficult for Rose if her hearing aid had broken :-0

For me Rhys' legs seemed to be all over the place, I think he'll do well in the Charleston :-D

I thought Tilly did well with her Paso and Tom looked the part with his Foxtrot :-D

Judi proved she could be serious but I'm not sure how technically challenging her dance was :-0

Dan's Cha Cha was entertaining and compared with his foxtrot last week it was an improvement and he looked like he was enjoying it:-D

So that leaves Greg :-0. I agree he should be in the dance off and should go home :-(

It will be interesting to see who else will join him in the dance off though :-0

There didn't seem to be anyone who really stood out tonight did there. Craig seemed a bit odd as well. Yes definitely should be Greg in the dance off quite a few at the bottom of the leader board with similar scores. Maybe Dan will be the other one in the dance off. You can't tell really who is popular and who isn't. I suppose Sara and adam stood out, I can't remember who else all much of a muchness!!

Such a shame 2 celebs were missing this week . I enjoyed the show but thought the scoring was all over the place.

Greg should definitely be in the dance off but who with ??.

I saw that about Ugo too. So now we are two couples missing this week, so how will they fill the time?

Will everyone have a 'buy' into next week?

Gosh survival of the fittest this time then

Just seen Ugo Monye won't be dancing this week due to historic back problems :-(

I read that last night, such a shame he has had to withdraw. His heart specialist advised him. I did like his tango a couple of weeks ago.

Will they not have a dance off this week?

Oh that is a shame but his health must come first, I am sure all the training is a strain if they are not fit.

Robert Webb has quit Strictly due to his health. He had a heart op a few years back and was beginning to get a few symptoms so was advised to quit :-D <3
