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.

The background to Annabel's Jive is too distracting.

1960s psychedelic!!

Joseann Sat 14-Oct-23 19:34:19

Catching up, I like Adam's waltz so far.

Sparklefizz Sat 14-Oct-23 19:31:03

I agree Tilly. She's greatly improved.

Zara has excelled tonight. Surely she cannot be in the bottom 2 again?
Together with Graz they look a beautiful couple tonight.

Sparklefizz Sat 14-Oct-23 19:22:25

Really love Zara's dress. It's fabulous.

Krishnan did well considering no dance experience.
Loved Adam's waltz and Ellie's samba.

Agree about Shirley's hairstyle.

Sparklefizz Sat 14-Oct-23 19:20:08

Yess, I thought "elf" when I first saw Shirley. That hairstyle does her no favours.

I'm finding Anton highly irritating this evening.

Calendargirl Sat 14-Oct-23 19:17:17

Don’t know if it’s her hairstyle or her earrings, or a bit of both, but Shirley’s ears look very large tonight.

She looks like an elf!

Wish Anton didn’t shout so much! It sounds so OTT.

Sara1954 Sat 14-Oct-23 19:16:01

That’s Anton

Sara1954 Sat 14-Oct-23 19:15:32

He’s very vocal tonight

TillyTrotter Sat 14-Oct-23 19:15:08

A lot I liked about Krishnan’s Paso!
He is coming on a treat week by week.

Sparklefizz Sat 14-Oct-23 19:07:24

Aaarrgh! Shut up Anton!

Sparklefizz Sat 14-Oct-23 19:05:53

WOW ! I really loved Amanda and Gio's Foxtrot. It made me tearful, not really sure why..... just so emotional.

TillyTrotter Sat 14-Oct-23 19:01:05

Jody overmarked in my opinion.

rafichagran Sat 14-Oct-23 18:59:43

Luba.

rafichagran Sat 14-Oct-23 18:59:25

Lovely waltz from Lubs and Adam.

Sara1954 Sat 14-Oct-23 18:52:45

I agree about Ellie, she looked amazing to me

Sparklefizz Sat 14-Oct-23 18:51:33

Loved Adam's waltz. Elegant and romantic and calm after Ellie's frantic samba.

gillgran Sat 14-Oct-23 18:47:54

Great start, I have a TV remote this week!! Rugby has been, & will be playing on DH's TV.
Like others I'm letting it all flow around me. smile

Sparklefizz Sat 14-Oct-23 18:40:00

Well, to my untrained eyes Ellie & Vito's Samba looked great!

Sparklefizz Sat 14-Oct-23 18:29:48

Can't stand Alan Carr. Why does he speak in that silly voice? It can't be natural surely?

Think it possibly could be a theme night tonight. Not long to find out .....

TillyTrotter Sat 14-Oct-23 18:24:54

🤞 fingers crossed Sparklefizz .
I’m sitting comfortably waiting for the start. I’ve not taken to the Alan Carr Quiz before Strictly - has anyone?

Is it a theme night on Strictly?

Callistemon21 Sat 14-Oct-23 18:22:37

🤞

Our TV picture kept breaking up then the TV would shut down, couldn't turn it on again. All without a power cut.
I reset it all, so far so good 🤞

Sparklefizz Sat 14-Oct-23 18:09:06

Keep fingers crossed for me that I don’t have another sodding power cut like last week!
