We're ready for Blackpool !

Annabel deserves high scores.

Joseann Sat 25-Nov-23 20:02:15

Excellent!

Sweetpeasue Sat 25-Nov-23 20:03:17

Annabelle's Paso was great . Also what a difference when music is matched to the dance style.

Thought Layton’s was poor, and yes, I too thought the ghastly pink dress looked like he was just dancing in drag.

Liked Nigel’s and Annabel’s performance.

Layton overmarked, and Nigel’s marks didn’t reflect the comments.

Sparklefizz Sat 25-Nov-23 20:04:34

Perhaps Layton asks for female clothing!

Why do they keep dressing Layton in female clothing? I don’t get it and it puts me off. Sorry if that offends just the truth.

No idea, unless it’s to reinforce the idea that the dancing looks better with a man/woman couple. I agree with that, but Layton cross-dressing doesn’t really do it.

Annabel (and Johannes) and Nigel (and Katya) showed improvement again from last week. Annabel is doing so well in this Competition.
Angela and Carlos’s dance did not thrill me. Not sure why.

TillyTrotter Sat 25-Nov-23 20:11:45

Leyton’s dance was very good - again - but we expect that from him now.

Sparklefizz Sat 25-Nov-23 20:16:57

Bobby's Dad really made me tearful. He has done a good job with his boys.

Sara1954 Sat 25-Nov-23 20:17:11

Loved Annabelle

Sweetpeasue Sat 25-Nov-23 20:21:25

Completely choked after that one. Bobby blew a kiss at the end toward his solitary shadow. Danced that from the heart.

Callistemon21 Sat 25-Nov-23 20:23:00

Annabelle was very good

Bobby's dance moved me to tears.

Nanatoone Sat 25-Nov-23 20:24:40

Bobby was amazing. What a lovely young man.

Sweetpeasue Sat 25-Nov-23 20:25:20

Incredible dance from Ellie. I loved it.
Is there anything Ellie can't do?

Nanatoone Sat 25-Nov-23 20:26:03

Ellie, absolutely fantastic

Casdon Sat 25-Nov-23 20:26:16

I think Angela was the weakest this week.

RosiesMaw Sat 25-Nov-23 20:26:40

Nothing to choose between them, is there?

TillyTrotter Sat 25-Nov-23 20:27:59

Bobby’s beautiful story telling dance evoked tears for me too.
Ellie and Vito are just fabulous.

I think Angela was the weakest this week.

I thought Angela’s dance was too static, too much strutting and not enough movement. For that I blame the choreography.

Joseann Sat 25-Nov-23 20:29:28

Ellie, Annabel and Bobby.

Yes, AngelaS is in danger and maybe Nigel.

Calendargirl Sat 25-Nov-23 20:29:32

I think the dance off should be Angela and Layton.

Sparklefizz Sat 25-Nov-23 20:31:39

Oh gosh! This weekend someone will have to go home who is good ... someone I like.

I'm voting for Ellie, Annabel and Bobby.

Bobby was only 4 when he lost his Mum, yet he says he feels "blessed." Take note Prince Harry.

Sweetpeasue Sat 25-Nov-23 20:32:48

My votes went to Ellie. Annabelle and Bobby.

Shame such a short show tonight.

Sparklefizz Sat 25-Nov-23 20:33:12

I thought Angela’s dance was too static, too much strutting and not enough movement. For that I blame the choreography.

I think Angela would have done much better with a different partner.

merlotgran Sat 25-Nov-23 20:33:12

Another one here who thinks Angela will go.
