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.

Layton, Annabel and Ellie.

Grannynannywanny Sat 04-Nov-23 20:34:56

Ellie, Annabelle and Nigel for me.
I think Angela R and Angela S might be in the dance off.

Calendargirl Sat 04-Nov-23 20:35:12

I think the dance off will be Adam and Angela R.

And if there’s any justice, she should be out.

Dinahmo Sat 04-Nov-23 20:38:06

I think that Ellie is in with a chance in the final. I voted for those that I would like to stay in rather than those that I think may get to the final. So - Angela S, Krishnan and Bobby.

For the first time in weeks, I didn’t bother to watch.
Leyton does not appeal- he’s definitely a show dancer who makes it all about him. The judges erratic marking makes a nonsense of the scoreboard.
I’ve predicted who will be in the dance off and who will go without even seeing it. It only remains to see if I’m right, later on tonight.

Sara1954 Sat 04-Nov-23 20:39:47

I was going to give three votes to Ellie, but I just love Krishnan and Loren, so they got one.
I agree, Adam and Angela in the dance off, with Adam going through.

Sparklefizz Sat 04-Nov-23 20:47:26

I hope Angela R goes, but I do wonder if the judges are trying to keep her in until Blackpool.

Joseann Sat 04-Nov-23 20:49:09

I think that's a possibility Sparklefizz.

Stunning, exhilarating African (Pro’s + Guests’) dance at the top of tonight’s Results show, choreographed by Oti Mabuse.
Johannes was having the time of his life centre-front.
Joyous - I hope we see more African influenced dancing in Strictly.

Tilly it was spectacular.

Sparklefizz Sun 05-Nov-23 19:30:15

Angela R and Kai in the dance off. I don't want to sound mean but I hope she goes home tonight.

Grannynannywanny Sun 05-Nov-23 19:31:09

It was fabulous. I’ll be rewinding that opening dance at the end of the show!

She should go because she doesn't do as much actual dancing as the younger ones.

I disagree.
Whoever is up against Angela R will go home.
They’ll save her. But I wonder for how much longer?

Allsorts Sun 05-Nov-23 19:38:39

Think it’s time for Angela Rippon to go although she’s good for her age.
My favourite is Nigel and Ellie. It’s been good this year apart from I didn’t believe a word about why Abbey went,

Oh yes!👏👏👏

Fix

Calendargirl Sun 05-Nov-23 19:57:34

Oh honestly!!!

Joseann Sun 05-Nov-23 19:58:09

Poor Adam was let down by the lack of content and poor choreography. A shame his partner didn't let him do more. In my opinion.

Calendargirl Sun 05-Nov-23 19:58:12

Oh, well said Adam!

Sara1954 Sun 05-Nov-23 19:58:20

RosiesMaw
You were right, but I really want Angela to go now.
I don’t think Adam had his best dance.

Blinko Sun 05-Nov-23 19:58:40

Rosiesmaw correct!

Joseann Sun 05-Nov-23 19:59:15

Blinko

Rosiesmaw correct!

Grrrr!

Sparklefizz Sun 05-Nov-23 19:59:51

Grrr! They're keeping her in until Blackpool.
But, as you say, Joseann, Adam was let down by poor choreography.

The only thing is that I feel Adam's not well and needs a rest. He's a great guy. I really like him.

ginny Sun 05-Nov-23 19:59:57

Oh bother! I was hoping Angela would go.
Loved the Pro dance.
