Strictly Come Dancing 2023

I'm a bore because I really don't like Halloween week.

I dislike the weird costumes.

I'm not a Halloween fan in general, but as a long time fan of Strictly I love to see all the costumes & make up!
Enjoying this week so far.

Zara and Graz’s dance and costumes were so much fun!
I hope she can avoid the dance-off tonight.
No wonder her confidence is not high - she has been in the dance-off so many times.

I did too TillyTrotter. I am beginning to think the judges constantly under-mark her.

It’s difficult going first, but I thought Angela S’s dance was worth more 9’s.

It was theatrical and dramatic and not what I expected, so I loved it (also the music!)

Angela S was very balletic, it suited her.
I agree with Craig about the strange bourrées in the middle?

OMG! Angela S and Carlos - absolutely amazing choreography!

Wow! Well done the costume department !!

Oops, I think I got that wrong! As you were.

Has he? Well that will make a mockery of the dance offs if it's between Eddie and Zara again?

Well, I wouldn't want to come back if I thought I'd have to face another dance-off and be eliminated again!

Eddie has been reinstated, I believe, so aren't they back to where they were?

Good point Joseann

Just thinking out loud, (as you do over a cup of coffee), I'm guessing by Blackpool weekend they have to be left with the right number of couples, because these are also the ones who go on tour?? So somewhere will we have a non elimination week now Amanda has left?

Strictly is on at 6.40 pm this evening, and I notice that on Channel 5 at 8.25pm there's a programme "Strictly Come Dancing's Greatest Moments" going right back to the original "Come Dancing" (which I used to watch in black and white with my Mum as a child).

I don't know what that will be like, but will give it a try.

With or without Anton

Oh well, I’m definitely up for that then

On his own for me. Giovanni has solos already choreographed from his touring show, so it wouldn't take much.

Or Anton could get off his chair and join him!

A solo?
What on his own with no partner?
Who is his pro partner? I can’t think.

I vote Gio performs a solo.

Ooh yesssss! I love Gio.

amanda's partner Jonathan Goodwin was paralysed from waist down, 6 months ago while performing a stunt on americas got talent so is in a wheel chair at side of stage as she dances . I'm sure that must affect her decision to quit. very tough.

Disappointed for Amanda and Gio. I was really enjoying their performances. It’ll be interesting to see how they rearrange the show. I can’t clearly remember now how they’ve dealt with similar circumstances in the past when dancers have dropped out due to injury or whatever reason.

I agree 😊

I vote Gio performs a solo.
