Same here - bring it on.

Oh, not many threads reach 1000 posts these days. It used to be quite common in the old days.

Ready here too. Got a nice glass of Pinot blush poured and some chocs I bought today. I’m nervous for them when it gets to this stage but it should be a great show.

I’m eating fish and chips Grandmadinosaur and ditto!
I have a glass of Pinot blush too. ?

Motsi has gone back to the 70s!

Just gulped down my dinner and wine, so catching up quickly.

Oh gosh, the boys made me cry---what a stunning dance, full of expression and emotion.

Me too EV. ?

Pina Bausch, anyone?

Loved AJ. Next to Dan I thought the dancer who has improved most is Rhys. I enjoyed his dances the last few weeks. John did have more of a role in their couples dance, perhaps why they chose to do it, but I don’t really get that sort of dancing.

I love them all I’m happy for anyone of them to win now. Rose brings my DH to tears every week and what I’ve loved about the boys is that not one of their dances have been camp. Loved their pirates dance and I’d love to see that again also Rhys and Nancy doing Spider-Man.

EllanVannin Sat 11-Dec-21 20:03:36

Well done to the lovely AJ as well, a difficult dance.

Grandmadinosaur Sat 11-Dec-21 20:05:59

I agree * EV* she’s come back strong after being in the dance off last week.

Sweetpeasue Sat 11-Dec-21 20:12:42

John and Johannes--- Fantastic Jive.
But Im not a fan of some contemporary dancing so sorry, a bit underwhelmed with their couples choice.

A fabulous dance from Rose. Exceptional.

I'm the other way round!

What?

I think it is someone German?

MayBeMaw Sat 11-Dec-21 20:21:43

Googled her now (thought she might be distantly related to a Spanish cousin, Pina Colada)

Grandmabatty Sat 11-Dec-21 20:22:44

I've been underwhelmed by John this week. I wasn't keen on either of his dances. AJs rumba wasn't great either. However I think Rhys might go home

GrannyGravy13 Sat 11-Dec-21 20:23:22

Rose & Giovanni stood out for me.

I agree I think it’s between Rhys and John to go.

Alegrias1 Sat 11-Dec-21 20:24:41

Famous choreographer of contemporary dance.

Grandmadinosaur Sat 11-Dec-21 20:27:21

I think dance off will be John and Rhys and I’d like Rhys to stay.

Sparklefizz Sat 11-Dec-21 20:27:48

OH MY WORD!!! What an evening! I think it was probably the best semi-final ever.

I loved AJ's Quickstep - fabulous old-style glamour like Fred & Ginger. Made me want to cry. A well-deserved 40.
And their Rumba - very sensual. Fantastic.

And Rose - what can I say? I am still feeling very moved by her Argentine Tango. Couldn't take my eyes off them.

With John and Johannes and their Couples Dance, I didn't like the lift at the end which they held for several seconds.

Anton was ultra irritating with his oohs and aahs and all his snuffling over Rose's Arg Tango. Why can't he just speak in a proper sentence? Craig put it simply as "This dance deserves to be in the final."
