Strictly 2024

It’s one thing for some viewers to be affected by the emotional back stories and fair enough if the judges comment on how the dance was very emotional/granny would be so proud etc. But for Shirley to award Pete a 10 and only give Sarah an 8 was ridiculous.

I get so fed up of the sob stories on Strictly

Well, they will be coming out in force now. We’ve got rid of the really weak dancers, and it will be every man (and woman) for themselves now.

And next week, at Blackpool, we’ll have reminiscences of Granny and Granddad foxtrotting around the ballroom sixty years ago….

🥲

I watch every week but for me it's lost it's magic.

Grannynannywanny I was expecting Jamie’s Argentine tango to be fabulous but I found it rather disappointing. Not a patch on Sarah and Vito’s a couple of weeks ago.

Totally agree. Michelle was doing all the ganchos and dancing around him.

I'd like to see Wynne go home but even if he is in the dance off, I suspect the judges would keep him in until he's been to Blackpool. Shirley has a soft spot for him.

Hope dance off is Pete and Wynne, but it won't be. Always liked Pete before, but I get so fed up of the sob stories on Strictly.

I liked Sarah and Vito, they are working so hard week on week. I have championed JB from the start on here, and will continue to do so because he has great musicality. I think Chris and Diane might win overall, I liked the dark bit of their dance where the blackout was symbolic of his blindness.
Shane to go home, maybe against Montell or Wynne.

Another very entertaining evening. Sarah and Vito were fabulous. I was expecting Jamie’s Argentine tango to be fabulous but I found it rather disappointing. Not a patch on Sarah and Vito’s a couple of weeks ago.

Chris and Diane amaze me every week. I think they were under marked by Craig. Once again, in my humble opinion, Wynne was over marked. I wasn’t convinced Pete’s performance deserved those high scores. Tomorrow evening will be interesting.

Sarah and Vito were incredible. I'm amazed at those lifts.

I think Chris is dancing spectacularly considering he has no idea how any dance should look.

Loved Sarah and Vito along with Pete Wicks and Jowita.

I am only guessing but I think the dance off could be Shayne and Nancy, and Wynne and Katya, with Wynne getting the judges vote to go through to Blackpool.
I do think they were all good tonight. I found Petes performance emotional, and very genuine. He is not a trained dancer, and his improvement and the joy of wanting to get through is second to none.

Great dancing tonight though get so frustrated with unsuitable music.

Oh, I really like Johannes.

If he takes the spotlight, it’s because his dancing is mesmerising.

I think he tries to showcase his partner to the best.

I agree - I think Montell is struggling because she’s not flexible, she does look stiff against Johannes, but I don’t think he’s deliberately dominant.

What terrific dancing tonight.
I think Sarah & Vito were under-marked so I have given them 2 votes.
Hard to choose my 3rd couple but decided to vote for Pete whose Couples Choice moved me.

It's true - Dianne has done the most amazing teaching with Chris.

Was there 3 Couple’s Choice tonight?

Too many.

Sarah and Vito - Wow! Wow! WOW!
Amazing lifts.

Loved Sarah's choice of song
What have you done today to make you feel proud, Sarah?

That dance!

Oh, I really like Johannes.

If he takes the spotlight, it’s because his dancing is mesmerising.

I think he tries to showcase his partner to the best.

Johannes. Stupid phone!

I hate to say it but so find Johannesburg a bit of a show pony. He takes the spotlight off his partner.

I agree re the music and it makes such a difference to overall enjoyment.

Yes Pete's dance was very emotional and although they were good I hated the music to it.
Sarah is wonderful too.

Song choices tonight are not very good

And Pete's Couples Choice was poignant.

The Argentine Tango seemed to be more Michelle than Jamie.
