Strictly Starts Tonight

And I can't forget Craig's pathetic comment on Saturday about Will needing to show Tyler some hip moves.

Yes, that was very poor to play one off against the other.

I am hoping Hamza wins because not only is he a good dancer but he just seems such a genuine and lovely guy. He doesn't make a big fuss when he gets voted through, but seems grateful and humble.

Tyler is so lovely, and I enjoyed his dance, he should never have gone. Shirley B obviously voted for Mollie because she's afraid of being criticised for not favouring women. And I can't forget Craig's pathetic comment on Saturday about Will needing to show Tyler some hip moves. Really hope Will goes next.

They are all good dancers who are still in it, so it's inevitable that a good dancer will be voted off. I think the type of dance, music, costume and where in the show they appear all have a bearing on the vote. I thought Molly and Tyler would be in the dance off. The fact that the vote was split is an indication of the quality of both dancers.

I expected Kym and Tyler to be in the dance off. I think Tyler was too good too early iykwim. He really stood in the first couple of weeks. But I think in the past 2 weeks others have overtaken him and he was left behind.

I can't forget Aston Merrygold going in 2017. He ended up in the dance off and Shirley's deciding vote eliminated him.
He went on to win a Christmas Strictly special, up against, among others, Anita Rani and Caroline Flack.

Sad to see Tyler go. I never agree with the voting on Strictly, I have never got over the lovely Adam Peaty being voted off in favour of the chef's daughter (can't remember the names) a couple of years ago.

Tyler started off really well, but the last three weeks he hasn’t been so good, so I thought he should go in this dance off.

I really like Molly, but didn’t like her jive, it was disappointing. Don’t know if it was the music, but I felt she could have had a routine that was better somehow.

But out of the two, definitely right decision, IMHO.

We thought Ellie should be the next to go and then Kym. Very sad that Tyler has been voted off this week - had expected him to be in the final three.

I wanted Tyler to get through. I thought that Molly's previous theatre school training would count against her whereas Tyler had to start completely from scratch.

In reality neither of them should have been in the dance off. I thought Kym and maybe Will would be in the bottom two.

Tyler was lovely and dignified. Very close call.

Yes Sparklefizz I felt those lifts were a bit cumbersome.

I feel really sad about this. I initially thought Tyler could win. Def thought he'd make final.
Don't think Samba is the greatest 'showstopper' but Molly is very good so....

I can't believe it!

Tyler is a great dancer but I think some of those lifts were ungainly.

I like Tyler.

How on earth will they choose between the 2 of them?

Oh no. I really wanted Tyler to go further.

Hope Tyler is the one to go.

My chin just hit the floor!

Graziano was fabulous...didn't see anyone else on the floor. Love Hamza what a great dancer. Helen was amazing, her best so far. Don't know what Fleur was supposed to be doing it looked aggressive and ugly to me...Not my kind of music.

I disliked Fleur's dance too although she did well and was accomplished; it's more musical theatre.

Yes. Kym or maybe Will.

Yes, 3rd time now. Maybe Kym next?

Whaaat? Molly in the dance off ????

Fabulous start and Sam Ryder too.

Lovely to see the children dancing.
