2nd Strictly Come Dancing 2023 thread

Lovely tender opening dance.... and what a surprise to see the dog!!

Aw the dog! I've got one of them!

So has my daughter!

Here's mine.

Gorgeous!!!

Bobby is back to his first dance, isn't he? I think he will beat Annabel (if she is the other one).

Beautiful Joseann 😍

From now on I am going to adopt Vito's phrase to say I am happy about something ("I am over up the moon!") Love it.

Lovely opening dance by the professionals. Great to see the dog, my son has one just like it, too!! (love yours, Joseann).

Phew! Thought for a minute that Bobby was going to be out.
Annabel is so gracious and Johannes such a lovely man.

My thoughts exactly, Sparklefizz.

My eyes are itchy.

Right desition, Annabelle was so gracious. I think the correct three went through.

Next week should be brilliant !

I think Johannes and Annabel have been the most beautiful partnership I've seen on Strictly. Definitely a special bond between them.
Right result to Bobby but seemed v close to me.

It's going to be nail biting next week!

A real tear jerker at the end.

I agree Sweetpea. Annabel was very needy because of her grief and Johannes stepped in to become her comforter. I think she will miss Strictly but I imagine Johannes will keep in touch. It was thoughtful of him to mention her children.

Going to be a perfect final.
How lovely was Annabell, poor Bobby was on tears.
Looking forward to next Saturday.

Definitely the right decision, but Johannesburg is so lovely and wha5 a special relationship he and Annabelle have, so lovely to see.

Sparklefizz spandex will definitely be the order of the day for all Gransnet dancers in the special edition of Gransnet Strictly.

Sorry spanx

Are we off to South Africa then maddyone?
Sorry 😆

Looking forward to the final next week. See you all then.!

P.S. I'll remain an "armchair judge" in your new show....!!

Johannes seemed more needy and emotional than Annabelle and last night, when they were talking to Claudia whilst waiting for their scores, Carlos was stood behind them in floods. Maybe something else going on as well as Annabelle’s grief.

I had to have my hankie tonight!

I shed a few tears for Annabelle and Johannes. She handled it really well but poor Johannes appeared heartbroken.

Strange that Tess made particular mention that Shirley hasn’t needed to use her casting vote previously, then hey presto, it was needed tonight.

To rack up the tension maybe?
