Strictly Starts Tonight

Thank heavens Mollie went through. Thought her Charleston was terrific. Admired Kym too. Thought Hansa should have gone.

I think it was the right result tonight, Kym has done really well, sorry if that sounds patronising Kym, you have been amazing, but time to go.
The ‘I’ve made a friend for life’ thing is annoying. My granddaughter and I always say, did you hear that? They’ve made a friend for life? Wonder if they’ll ever see each other again?
I’d love to see a follow up show where we could see if they actually remembered each other.

I felt Hamza should have gone based on last night's dance; his bulk hampers his versatility. It is a mistake to introduce the back-up dancers; they showed up Helen's stompy movements in Cabaret, and in the Charleston I scarcely watched Molly as I was mesmerised by the new dancer, very tall with short dark hair who danced her off the stage. Don't know her name but think she comes from the Midlands. Perhaps she could replace Kevin, (quickly).

I had the same problem, I couldn’t take my eyes off her. She was mesmerising

It looks like the Strictly Semi Final will be on Sunday instead of Saturday because of the football.

I agree Hamza wasn't as good last time... the new dancer is Lauren, she's amazing! Saw her on stage with Giovanni on his tour earlier this year.

She’s amazing, hope she gets a partner next year

I found this video of Motsi dancing.

Thanks MerylStreep, Motsi looking great.
When was this? & who is she dancing with? At first I thought he looked like Brendan Cole!

Interesting MerylStreep, Motsi certainly swivels well!
Then I read all the comments in German. They certainly don't mince their words if they don't like something!

For fans who may have missed this ……..

Strictly semi final has been moved Live Show Sunday 7:15 pm BBC 1
and
Results Show Monday 8.15 pm BBC 1

Thanks TillyTrotter.

Love that video of Motsi dancing, and Hit the Road Jack is one of my favourite Ray Charles songs. Thanks MerylStreep

👍

And then Troubled Blood.

Good to have an evening of viewing I can look forward to,

The girl contestants all look pretty tonight, nice colours.it's

Fleur's Paso -very dramatic especially the ending.

What a dramatic start from Fleur?

Ooh, a 10 from Anton!

I love Fleur's hair. I wonder how long that took to do.

Beautiful and powerful, undeniably. Personally though I wish she didnt always look so angry, though in a Paso - - why not? Just me.

Too much smoke swirling round Helen's feet.

Oh I really liked that. Helen looks beautiful in white.

What a beautiful moving waltz from Helen & Gorka. It made me feel very emotional.
