2nd Strictly Come Dancing 2023 thread

Is Cher miming?

Really enjoyed all the dances & dancers. I'll be happy whoever wins.
I'm sure this will have given all their careers a huge boost.

I can't remember what I normally do on a Saturday night.!!

Who is Ollie Alexander?

It’s all very emotional. I’m torn between Bobby and Ellie.

I agree * Sparklefizz* and Bobby to come so far without previous dance experience is an amazing achievement.

All 3 celebs have raised their profiles massively, so their careers will shoot onwards and upwards.

I can't get through via the app.. Had to phone in.. So it appears lots are voting?

For me that Tango was dance of the night.

I'm surprised there's no Charleston in the final.

I think there would be a public outcry if Layton won for all the reasons previously mentioned. Yes, he's a brilliant dancer but ......

Yes I agree - the BBC were daft to have him as a contestant.

Unless of course ……………

He makes a mistake
Or the viewers decide that having a professional dancer and choreographer as a contestant is unfair and tell the BBC what they think about that in their votes.

Of course, he could win.

I think there would be a public outcry if Layton won for all the reasons previously mentioned. Yes, he's a brilliant dancer but ......

So how come a contestant whose profession is dancing wont win!? It would not say much for his ability if he looses against people who have never danced at anywhere near that level.

Unless of course ……………

Makes it all a bit of a mockery really.

Leyton to win, a brilliant dancer, this is a entertainment programme and he entertained.

Ellie has my votes.

DH is voting for her as well, not that he realises yet!

I’m still with Ellie and Vito

Ellie to win for me.

Ellie and Vito are phenomenal.

I agree merlotgran

I thought Bobby’s dance was a bit safe.

Craig has praised the choreography but Bobby's dance choreography wasn't a patch on Ellie and Vito's.

I think Motsi looks lovely tonight, she suits the pared down look.

I agree, Ellie is a foregone conclusion.
The important thing, for me, is to just enjoy Layton's exceptional performances, so I don't care if Ellie wins, that's fine.

Ellie has made the most progress.

Many of these contestants in this show have had dance experience. Many went to stage school. In this series alone Nigel had years of musical West End experience.

I wish Layton was being pushed to win but if you read MSM and social media it's all Ellie
