Strictly 2018

I've seen that face too petra!!
I really like Stacy and think she will win and that makes me happy for Kevin too - he has been unlucky in the final so many times.

I think the voting public see through Charles' false modesty, as I do.
When other celebs have given a good performance they know it and accept the praise, but Charles puts on his "oh no, you can't be talking about me?" face.

In the final it’s more of a popularity contest than a dance contest, so I think the bookies favourite is Stacey. Those who have danced professionally on stage, however good they are, don’t tend to win.

I think it must be more and more difficult for them to find “celebs”. Plus it might be that the dancing is less watchable if all were no -dancers.

I’m with Sparklefizz on this - Faye and Ashley both have years of dancing experience which is not only SO unfair but seems to me to be against the spirit of Strictly.
Still don’t understand how these two were invited on the show - obviously don’t blame them for accepting.

Faye and Giovanni were absolutely brilliant, I thought, and the choreography was fantastic, but Stacey's performance was so emotional and moving and I want her to win.

Rosieroe I agree, Joe's performance wasn't as good as I was expecting, but I don't particularly like the Samba anyway.

Darcey was a bit off the mark last night. She criticised someone's arm (can't remember whose) and then gave them a 10.

Much as I like Joe I thought his performance wasn’t good last night - but the judges thought he was wonderful. I can’t understand how Charles was at the bottom of the leaderboard after being told his was the best male rumba they’d ever seen. I so miss Len.

Faye and Giovanni were superb.

I’m backing Stacey to win, although I also like Faye and Giovanni. Just don’t want Ashley to win! I think Charles is going this weekend which is a shame as I think he’s a good dancer.

I also enjoyed last night's show. I have a feeling that Ashley and Charles will be in the dance off because they do not appear to be very popular with the TV audience, irrespective of how they perform. If that happens I think that Charles may be saying goodbye.

I think the final maybe between Stacey and Joe and my money is on Stacey.

I really did enjoy tonight`s show. I would love Stacey to win, she`s been great every week, but particularly last week and tonight. I`d also like to see Charles in the final as well, loved their rumba, I don`t like the overtly sexy ones that some produce, this was nice, sweet.

Yes, we’re backing Stacey and Joe too. Suspect Joe may struggle but Stacey will do well. We’ll see .

Brilliant show, I would love Stacey to win as she has no previous dance experience. My second choice would be Joe.

Thoroughly enjoyed the ABBA opening sequence ??

What a superb show tonight!
Loved the abba opening number and the judges participation.
Stacey - mesmerising and highly emotional !
Charles - strong and sexy.
Faye - very engaging and technically excellent.
Joe - entertaining but lacking something
Lauren - beautiful and confident but not strong enough to keep her in I think!

Oh, I like Neil Jones, but must admit to hating those sketches, don`t know whose idea they were.

I didn't see that, but there has always been something about him that I don't like and I don't even know what it is. It's not as if I'm a fan of Katya's but I just think he's a bit creepy.

Has anyone seen Neil Jones doing a sketch on It Takes Two dressed as Nell someone or other? He is supposed to be teaching a dance along with a very weird looking women and he looks completely weird too.
I literally can't watch it because it so awful

They wouldn`t know which way to turn, would they Anno? It was a little unfair of the judges last night when they announced their decisions, they usually comment on how both pairs have upped their game, but last night Craig said it was a no brainer, and all Bruno could go on about was Ashley`s hips!

I want to see Ashley and Fay in the dance-off together. Much scratching of judges' heads would be fun to watch.

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!

not sure what a puuk is

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.

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

I'd like to see Stacey win.

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 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.
