Strictly 2018

Maybe Ashley or Fay won`t win after all, remember how everyone was convinced that Debbie McGee, a former dancer, had it in the bag? I`d like to see Stacey, Joe, Lauren and Charles in the final show, all previously non dancers, how can they all be judged on how they``ve improved during the show when some start off completely proficient? Take it back to how it originally began, as a show for non dancers to learn how to dance.

I totally agree callgirl

Tedious, irritating and well past its sell by date.
Katie Piper is a brave and resourceful young woman but as for the others, ...........

I hope that Stacey and Kevin will win and I suspect that they are getting a lot of public support. She is a first rate investigative reporter and on Friday night the Children in Need programme will include an item by her on homeless youg people. She may have started as a non-dancer but she's certainly a dancer now- thanks to Kevin.

I see that Danny decided not to appear on It Takes Two tonight. Sour grapes?

Anyone think Stacey and Kevin's dance was absolutely knock-'em-dead fantastic last night?? For a non-dancer she is amazing, and I hope she wins. For some reason I don't like Ashley, and anyway, she has had performing experience before, like Faye. I like Stacey and Joe because they have started from scratch.

I agree Sparklefizz about Stacy and Kevin's dance. I was totally entranced by it. It definitely should have got 4 x 10's!! She is my favourite and everyone else's, as far as I can tell.

I thought Stacey and Kevin's dance was fantastic but a bit spoiled by the terrible music. Normally Dave Arch's arrangements are very good but that one was just a racket.

DanniRae You used the word "entranced" and I agree. I couldn't take my eyes off them. Some people's dancing is electric and dramatic, and S & K's is definitely that!

After tonight`s dance off, I`d love to see Ashley and Faye in the dance off next week, that WOULD be interesting!

I am firmly of the opinion that old pop stars should hang up their microphones.
I’ve always quite liked Sir Rod but dearie me.
He and Sir Paul should just go out for a quiet drink.

Agree pamela.
I felt that the song was a miserable dirge but wondered if he was aiming at the funeral music market.
Maybe trying to take over from Frank Sinatra's My Way?

I heard Rod Stewart say he wrote that song after the death of a friend. I think he is fab.

I think that was absolutely true but it didn't appeal to me at all. Too maudlin!
I used to be a big fan and cooking on Christmas day was always done to the music of Rod Stewart or Status Quo!

Like everyone else I thought Stacey, with Kevin was an absolute winner on Saturday. Surprised to see Ashley in the Dance Off given how good she is, perhaps a bit too professional rather than an absolute beginner though which may well prove to be her downfall. Rod Stewart was awful, his voice, which I loved once, has disappeared, so should he. Can't believe I liked him back in the 70s, queued for hours to see him when he was with The Faces at a venue called "The Rainbow" in Finsbury Park.

How could Ashley be in the dance off ? Lauren has done well but there is no way her dancing is up to the standard of the rest. Next week she should go or we’ll be missing out on some really good dances.

I think Ashley was amazed to be in the dance off. I thought Lauren and Graeme probably deserved to be . I do like Graeme but he did do that big trip in his routine, poor man. I think Lauren was lucky to stay in I think she had reached her limit now. With Ashley in the dance off poor Graeme had no chance. I think Ashley is a bit complacent though perhaps bring under the red light will make her think she cant assume she'll always be ok

Being not bring

I really grew to like Graeme and thought his dancing improved enormously, though he was no match for Ashley. As Ashley is obviously a great dancer, it would seem that she is not very popular. I can't say I warm to her either but I think it's ridiculous that she was in the dance off.

I think Lauren should have been the one to go.

I am sorry to see Graeme leave, he brought a lot to the show and improved enormously. Yes, Ashley is a good dancer isn’t she? Heard/read last week that she has had loads of previous dance tuition/experience. Maybe that’s why not so many people voted for her. I do hope that one of the non dancers wins, Joe or Stacey. Otherwise the competition seems irrelevant.

I'd like to see Stacey win.

If Lauren had been in the dance off, Graeme would have had a chance but against Ashley he had no chance.

I used to enjoy this show but now I just take a quick puuk on iplayer and fast forward most of it.

My toes were curling when Shirley messed up though.

not sure what a puuk is

I don't like Ashley much and I don't really know why, so maybe others feel the same and didn't vote for her. I am keen for either Stacey or Joe to win because they have had to start from scratch with no experience of performing at all .... and maybe that is the thing not to like with Ashley!
