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.

Apart from Angela I’ve enjoyed them all so far

There is no point in criticising the choreography because the contestants are not the choreographers - the contestants trust them and do their best with what they are told to do.

I loved Ellie and Vito. Time for Craig to give his no 10 paddle an airing I hope.

Sara1954 Sat 04-Nov-23 20:05:55

Clever Ellie. Loved it.

TillyTrotter Sat 04-Nov-23 20:05:57

WOW* Ellie & Vito!

Sparklefizz Sat 04-Nov-23 20:06:00

Ellie - fantastic!!!!!

Grandmadinosaur Sat 04-Nov-23 20:07:24

Just brilliant. My winners.

Louella12 Sat 04-Nov-23 20:08:08

I don't get the hype about Ellie at all. It's a if they want her to win.

Joseann Sat 04-Nov-23 20:09:06

Well deserved Ellie.

Sara1954 Sat 04-Nov-23 20:09:06

I’ve forgotten all the others, Ellie can have all of my votes

Grannynannywanny Sat 04-Nov-23 20:09:33

I do want her to win !

Sparklefizz Sat 04-Nov-23 20:09:35

Louella Aren't you watching her dancing? grin

Great scores for Ellie and Vito. Well deserved.

Joseann Sat 04-Nov-23 20:13:20

Adam's partner made that all about her I thought.

Grannynannywanny Sat 04-Nov-23 20:14:10

I thought Adam looked a bit sluggish

Sparklefizz Sat 04-Nov-23 20:15:11

Adam doesn't look well to me. I know he has Rheumatoid Arthritis. He looks extremely tired.

Sara1954 Sat 04-Nov-23 20:16:57

Sparklefizz
No, he doesn’t look great, maybe he’s feeling emotional

TillyTrotter Sat 04-Nov-23 20:17:19

I agree, it’s as if Adam has peaked some weeks ago and he is not in the best of health although always cheery.

Sparklefizz Sat 04-Nov-23 20:17:56

Maybe.

Sparklefizz Sat 04-Nov-23 20:19:56

I hope Adam puts his health first.

Grannynannywanny Sat 04-Nov-23 20:23:30

Oh sit down Shirley !

Sparklefizz Sat 04-Nov-23 20:26:55

I think they should lay off the "Jay jokes" (Krishnan's son). He's a 16 year old boy and he looks a bit fed up with it now.

Nanatoone Sat 04-Nov-23 20:26:59

Ellie excelled tonight. Absolutely beautiful

Yes, quite annoying!

TillyTrotter Sat 04-Nov-23 20:29:57

Bobby is getting 2 of my 3 votes as the show would not be the same without him.
1 vote for Ellie who I’m fairly confident will get through.
I aGreen about Claudia and Jay. The joke is wearing thin now.

Sparklefizz Sat 04-Nov-23 20:30:20

I've voted for Ellie, Nigel and Annabel.

I think the time has come for the judges and public to stop making allowances for Angela Rippon's age. They haven't made allowances in the past for dancers with only one leg.
