Strictly Starts Tonight

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

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

Too much smoke swirling round Helen's feet.

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

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

Ooh, a 10 from Anton!

What a dramatic start from Fleur?

Fleur's Paso -very dramatic especially the ending.

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

And then Troubled Blood.

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

👍

Strictly is on this evening at 7.15pm, results tomorrow at 8.15pm. See you later.

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

Thanks TillyTrotter.

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
owing to the World Cup football.

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!

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

I found this video of Motsi dancing.

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

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.

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

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

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 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.

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