2nd Strictly Come Dancing 2023 thread

I said that to DH Sparkle

Lovely to see a quick glimpse of Amy in the group dance.

Johannes is a contestant on the Christmas Celebrity Sewing Bee right now!

Blimey! Esme can dance. 👏👏🥳🥳

Please can we get costume designer Vicky Gill involved in our GN Strictly? I'd love to work with her!

Annabel and Johannes were a lovely partnership. He has become one of her family. If I didn't already have enough GC, I'd adopt him as a grandson myself! When we have our GN Strictly, please can I be a judge? I think I have a good handle on Craig's vocabulary.

I don’t think Layton should have been on the programme , nice as he is, he was already an accomplished dancer, having the advantage over the others. Think Elle should win but Bobby is brilliant too. Both extremely nice young people and very genuine.Annabelle lovely and I think the programme has helped in her grieving progress.

It's pretty much the final I expected. I would like Ellie to win, if she dances as well as she can

Annabel was just pipped at the post by Bobby tonight and I think it was the correct decision. Craig has been out of sync with everyone all series!
Annabel’s dress looked gorgeous - and she danced the Viennese Waltz beautifully. The first dance - not so good IMO.
Bobby had pulled out all the stops this week and I am pleased he will be in the Final.

I’ve really enjoyed watching Annabelle and Johannes, I’ll miss them. Bobby’s tears were genuine, he seems such a lovely young man.

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?

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

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!

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

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

Are we off to South Africa then maddyone?
Sorry 😆

Sorry spanx

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.

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

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.

It's going to be nail biting next week!

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.

Next week should be brilliant !

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

My eyes are itchy.

My thoughts exactly, Sparklefizz.

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