Only another month to go so I thought we'd better get the new thread up and running smile

I don't know many of this year's contestants so far but I guess we'll get to know them as the show continues. I see there are already comments that some of them have previous dance training.

Is Anton Trying to be like Bruno, he is so loud,I find it distracting, even my partner who was doing something else commented on his loudness.

Millie22 Sat 14-Oct-23 20:04:13

There's something very endearing about Nigel.

I really can't take to him, must disassociate him from the characters he plays!!

rafichagran Sat 14-Oct-23 20:06:54

I wish Anton would calm down a bit. I don't want him to start getting like Bruno.

TillyTrotter Sat 14-Oct-23 20:07:09

It’s interesting that Celebs who did not get the good comments/marks last week are getting them tonight,
I will vote for Adam,
for Zara
and I am waiting to see Bobby as I hope he is in my “top 3”again.

Millie22 Sat 14-Oct-23 20:09:58

Oh wait I've just remembered he was in Downton Abbey.

Sparklefizz Sat 14-Oct-23 20:15:33

Anton thinks he is so funny. He is his own biggest fan!

Every time I decide who I'll vote for, someone else does an amazing dance. I need more votes!

Sparklefizz Sat 14-Oct-23 20:20:11

Wow! Bobby! I couldn't take my eyes off him!

TillyTrotter Sat 14-Oct-23 20:27:07

He is something special isn’t he?
His late mum would have been so proud.

Me too, I like Anton but thought perhaps he was getting over-excited this week.

I do have a telepathic connection with him as I can accurately predict his scores, so I'll send him a message 😃

And he's an unpleasant Consultant in Casualty.

A terrific show! Who to vote for, that is the question? I need at least 6 free votes.

Will have to vote for Amanda & Gio because their dance made me very emotional, so I have to go with that. And have to vote for Bobby because he seemed magnetic tonight. Not sure of my 3rd vote .......

Have you caught up Joseann? What did you think?

Joseann Sat 14-Oct-23 20:33:44

For me ... Adam, Layton, Nigel.

Jade would have been so proud. I remember him being carried by his Dad, after he had visited his Mum in hospital x

He looks so much like his Mum

Sara1954 Sat 14-Oct-23 20:38:31

For me, Nigel, Ellie, Layten.
If I could have had a fourth, I would have voted for Angela S
I like Bobby, but not so much tonight.

Sweetpeasue Sat 14-Oct-23 20:41:12

My votes went to Adam, Ellie and Nigel.

Grandmabatty Sat 14-Oct-23 20:54:44

I thought the judges were sticklers tonight. I thought Adam did well and Ellie suffered from undermarking. I loved Zara too.

nanaK54 Sat 14-Oct-23 21:03:36

Voted for Gio, Layton and Ellie

Grandmadinosaur Sat 14-Oct-23 21:15:11

A difficult decision tonight. Voted for Annabel, Ellie and Krishnan . . Would have loved an extra vote for Adam who improved greatly this week.

Louella12 Sat 14-Oct-23 21:30:48

Layton is just superb

Deedaa Sat 14-Oct-23 21:36:19

I'm a year younger than Angela Rippon and I doubt if I could even stand up in those shoes, never mind dance!

Or run up the stairs like her!!

Well, he should be.

In fact he should be one of the professional group of dancers on Strictly.

Callistomom Thanks for telepathically sending Anton that message. Lol.
