Strictly restarts this Saturday when it will be the pairing up of celebs and pros..... which may even be less cringe-making than usual. grin

I don't know many of this year's celebs, but nothing new to that, and no doubt I shall get hooked in as usual.

Yes, each to their own

Sparklefizz Sat 19-Oct-24 18:49:11

Ridiculously low scores for Punam!! Grrr.

rafichagran Sat 19-Oct-24 18:53:03

Fantastic Paso from Jamie.

Casdon Sat 19-Oct-24 18:53:40

I loved that, and their outfits were perfect, so effective.

Sparklefizz Sat 19-Oct-24 19:03:21

Very dramatic Paso from Jamies. Fantastic.

But Chris .... So moving and emotional. found myself crying when he walked alone.

Oh, shut up Anton!!! What is he on, for goodness sake?? Grrr!

Yes I thought so too.

Goodness that Paso by James was breathtaking.
Then that beautiful waltz by Chris ...I had 'a moment' too.

This is such a great show.

Some excellent dancing tonight Sweetpeasue

Is it just me, I thought Toyah had returned in the form of Sarah Hadland.

They looked like twins.

Sparklefizz Sat 19-Oct-24 19:51:46

Yess! My daughter and I were just saying that. Sarah seems to have borrowed one of Toyah's wigs.

Waterloosunset Sat 19-Oct-24 19:52:57

No not just you Calendargirl, I thought exactly the same 😂

I cried too. It has a special meaning for me too

I looked at DH and he had a tear in his eye - I have very rarely seen him cry.

Sorry but I disagree with Shirley and Motsi. Wynne's quickstep was NOT "exquisite" or "fantastic". I thought it was pretty dire.

Allira Sat 19-Oct-24 20:09:18

I didn't think he was as good as last week. It was fun but not his best.

I thought he was going to fall over by the bench.

Yes, me too!

Sparklefizz Sat 19-Oct-24 20:18:23

I've voted: 2 for Chris and 1 for Jamie.

Sweetpeasue Sat 19-Oct-24 20:19:34

Fantastic end to the show with Montell and Johannes -- such an exciting ,joyous dance.
For me the right 2 at top of leaderboard.
I agree that Wynne's quickstep was over marked.

rafichagran Sat 19-Oct-24 20:23:39

I hope Wynne is not in the dance off. Katya did not look uncomfortable with him and he was not the worse.
I think the dance of should be Paul, with either Ponam or Sam.

Anniebach Sat 19-Oct-24 20:27:37

It must have been so difficult for Wynne and Katya

Millie22 Sat 19-Oct-24 20:38:41

What a fabulous show tonight and so many really good dances. I've voted for Jamie as the Paso was excellent.

So many lovely dresses too.

I hope not too. He wasn’t the worst and there’ll always be the question about whether it was the dance or all the fuss.

Surely it’s getting to the end of its useful life now?

A lot of things are.

Sara1954 Sat 19-Oct-24 20:58:06

My friend and I thought the marking was absolutely bizarre tonight, no way was Wynne deserving of such a high score, it looked a real mess to us.
Agree though about Jamie, he was great, and Chris leaves me speechless, I just don’t know how he does it.

Grannynannywanny Sat 19-Oct-24 21:00:22

Just finished watching tonight’s show with 3 of my grandchildren and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. No complaints of boredom here. Jamie and Michelle’s paso was the dance of the night for me.

Chris and Diane’s dance was fabulous. I think Punam was under marked and Wynne was over marked.

petra Sat 19-Oct-24 21:13:48

Punam is a lovely lady and she can find her way round a dance floor but she hasn’t progressed from day one.
She’s just not getting the finer points that take you from ok to wow.
I’m afraid her days are numbered.
I think Wynn got high marks because the judges were silently supporting him. Yes it’s wrong but they are only human.
