Started this thread as a diversion from all the political ones.
Only watched the first half hour as I wasn’t that bothered who was partnered with who really. Find the launch show a bit drawn out TBH.
Realised I only knew 5 of the 15 contestants, but that will change as the weeks go on.
Liked Tess’s gown, thought Claudia’s outfit looked similar to the PVC macs we wore in the early 70’s.

Merlot, that really made me laugh. I wouldn’t be surprised to see it happen either.

Saffron`s OK as long as she leaves "Nana" out of the conversation.

Can't believe the result tonight. Catherine should not have been voted off.

Millie22 Sun 27-Oct-19 20:38:45

I really liked Catherine but Shirley has just used her casting vote and it's the end for her and Johannes. This series seems a bit all over the place but at least Anton is still in.

I’m not too bothered about Catherine, but I have really enjoyed watching johannes

AllotmentLil Sun 27-Oct-19 22:23:46

I’m really sorry about Catherine ?.

TwiceAsNice Sun 27-Oct-19 22:52:50

Can’t believe Mike won instead of Catherine . Nobody is safe this series it’s all very unpredictable. Won’t stop me watching though! Love Johannes and he was so upset

Sara65 Mon 28-Oct-19 06:56:13

I’ve been expecting Mike to go out every week, but he’s still here!
I think Catherine has done well, but this week wasn’t her best. As TwiceAsNice says, no one is safe!

Sparklefizz Mon 28-Oct-19 07:59:06

I don't rate Mike at all! Can't believe he's still in after his stompy rabbit dance last night.
But some of the other dances were brilliant.

Yehbutnobut Mon 28-Oct-19 08:01:37

Weird that Mike is still on. He’s not even remotely entertaining or funny though he seems to think he is.

DanniRae Mon 28-Oct-19 08:48:10

I totally agree with Yehbutnobut.
I can only think that they keep someone like Mike in as the 'comedy' element. But to choose him over Catherine?? Crazy angry

Sadly, I see that Will Bailey is now out of Strictly, his injury will not allow for him to continue. Obviously he wasn`t going to win, but he was doing so well, I think he could have gone a couple more weeks, so it`s a shame.

Stupendous dancing so far tonight!! Karim was just fantastic!

rafichagran Sat 02-Nov-19 20:25:11

Karim, Michelle and Kelvin were brilliant.

Sparklefizz Sat 02-Nov-19 20:26:16

Yes raficha. How can the judges point out that Mike made several mistakes and yet give him 8's?

Sparklefizz Sat 02-Nov-19 20:27:27

And Anton was behaving like Brendan used to - arguing with Shirley and talking over her. He's not funny!

MawB Sat 02-Nov-19 20:37:24

I thought Mike was clumpy and stodgy, call that a Charleston?
Emma will be the one to go, won’t she?

Sparklefizz Sat 02-Nov-19 20:47:06

I think so, MawB

Millie22 Sat 02-Nov-19 21:18:34

I'm a bit concerned for Anton tonight and Shirley is mean to Emma every week. Karim and Amy were brilliant.

Ellianne Sat 02-Nov-19 22:04:43

Yes, why is Shirley so unkind to Emma?

merlotgran Sat 02-Nov-19 22:09:54

Maybe Shirley should have taken this week out as she's recovering from an operation. I thought she was a bit tetchy.

Nannylovesshopping Sat 02-Nov-19 22:29:22

I’m another one who think Shirley is very mean and unkind to Emma, every week she has a pop, not very professional at all☹️

Desdemona Sat 02-Nov-19 22:43:52

Karim, Michelle and Kelvin look like they will be the finalists.

Mike does well for the entertainment value and because he really goes for it.

Only one person can win it in the end.

LullyDully Sun 03-Nov-19 07:34:40

Anton was very rude I thought.

Washerwoman Sun 03-Nov-19 07:42:17

I don't normally mind Anton but he was rude.Proably frustrated with his harsh Shirley always seems to be critiquing Emma.But he also did his partner no favours in that rumba.Emma was trying her very best -wearing that daft wig -and he was pulling those silly faces more suited to a comedy dance like the Austin Powers routine,which were distracting and unnecessary.
