Strictly 2024

You were right Sparklefizz. Pete - saved by the trousers!

Thank goodness - the right person has gone home.

Right decision by judges 👍🏻

Sparklefizz

Wow!!! Stunning opening dance by the professionals. I love the Argentine Tango.

Yes fantastic- and with the appropriate music.

Personally I think Shirley is a poor judge. She says ridiculous things such as "That is the best footwork I've ever seen!" (As she was on the professional circuit for years, that can't be true.)

She makes sexist comments about male dancers which are inappropriate - can you imagine if a male judge made those comments about a female dancer?

And she has her favourites and over-marks. And she and Motsi give standing ovations which I don't think is fair.

I have read a lot of comments online suggesting she should go, and I wish she would.

I didn`t like Sara and Vito`s dance, but I`ve only ever liked 2 couples choices, with them not being a specific dance, I don`t know what I`m looking for.

I really want Wynne to go, I’m fed up with the over marking, and the ridiculous heights of Shirley’s enthusiasm.
Sara is by far my favourite, I love watching them dance, and honestly, I wouldn’t be in the least surprised to see Pete get through again.
Actually, I thought the standard was lower than usual for Blackpool

JB is my favourite too, I think he has improved and he comes across very well. I love him dancing with Lauren they make a lovely partnership.

If it’s Montell and Wynne in the dance off I’m not confident the judges will save Montell. I think Wynne is consistently overmarked every week. The judges love him.

I think, especially after the performances last night that they will go with the idea that Wayne got to Blackpool, we ignored all the kerfuffle about the hand, so now he can go.

Oh yes, Chris and Diane to win.

I love watching Johannes dance so I want Montell to stay. Pete's trousers were almost painted on. Possibly he and Wynne may be in the dance-off, but if his trousers save him it will be Montell I think, with Wynne going.

I have a feeling Pete’s over the top silly dance will win him votes
But he didn't really dance at all. Just strutted about and stretched out his arms!
You're right, the trousers might save him!

JB and Lauren covered the entire ballroom floor whilst dancing.

I agree ferry23 about Montell’s footwear and also their choice of music. I’m wondering if she might be in the dance off with Wynne. If so, I suspect the judges will save Wynne yet again.

I have a feeling Pete’s over the top silly dance will win him votes and he’ll go through to next week.

Wynne to go in the dance off with Montell. I think Wynne was kept in by deliberate over marking after the handsy/joke incident.

I felt Montell and Johannes were let down the music (again!). Dancing a Salsa to a tune without a salsa beat must be a real challenge. When the band played a few bars of Latin beat in the middle it came to life but just for a few seconds.

Plus she had an awful pair of clonky silver glittery plimsolls on which did her no favours.

I'm with escaped, Pete , Wynne, Montel or possibly even Jamie tonight.

JB is my favourite
You and me both Casdon. Such a lovely person, too, it seems.

I hope Wynne leaves this week. In my opinion he has never deserved the high marks the judges have awarded. I feel that they just wanted to get him to Blackpool. Now he can go.

The standard of dancing was excellent from most couples last night. It will be tough to see good dancers voted out over the next few weeks.

That was an enjoyable evening of entertainment. Chris and Diane were the highlight of the show for me. I love Sarah and Vito but I was a little disappointed in their performance last night.

I watched it with my 18 year old granddaughter and we had my 11 year old granddaughter, 100 miles away, messaging us back and forth during the show on our WhatsApp group. During Pete’s performance they both posted at exactly the same time ‘I have no words” 😆

Sarah is a trained dancer with a lot of experience too, which puts me off her winning. JB is my favourite, although Chris is amazing. I agree with escaped about who could go tonight, all those four are vulnerable I think.

I want Chris to win too. I loved his dance last night. I also like Sarah and despite being a Fosse fan wasn’t keen on her CC dance.

Not a fan of Tasha either she has had the same standard all the way through. Much prefer seeing improvements along the way.

I think the dance off will be Pete and Wynne.

They are both the weakest.

But yes, Montell could also be in there.

I loved the way Chris said he does his own thing and let's everyone else dance around him! All credit to the professionals. There was one moment in the number where he alone was slightly out of line, and one of the men skillfully brought him back into line.

There's a few who could be in the dance off tonight - Wynne, Pete, Montell and even Jamie.

I want to Chris to win.

To me he is what Strictly is all about, never danced before with the addition of being blind.

I also like Sarah, cannot take to Tasha plus she is a trained dancer!
