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.

Oh, I thought JB’s trousers were awful.

He reminded me of a fish in them.

Oh JB-yes.

Yes, amazing, also Petes dance was lovely.

Sparklefizz Sat 09-Nov-24 19:25:18

Yes. Snakehips JB ! smile

Sweetpeasue Sat 09-Nov-24 19:20:32

Oh JB-yes.

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

Sad news about Amy having to drop out, but Lauren is a great partner for JB.

So, with that in mind, my prediction for the final 3 are Sarah, Tasha and JB.

I am so sorry for Amy, but she has a injury, and it is possibly best for her and JB.

Casdon Mon 04-Nov-24 19:09:13

Poor Amy, I feel for her, she must be so disappointed. It says on BBC news that she has a foot injury.
I rate Lauren though, she’s a fun dancer, great to watch, and I hope she and JB do really well.

It was a big ask of Amy, though I've no doubt she desperately wanted to take part.
Lauren obviously did a great job with JB this week, bringing out his natural ability.

JdotJ Mon 04-Nov-24 18:41:43

It has just been announced that Amy will not take part in the rest of Strictly this year.
Lauren will continue partnering JB

I thought that Montell and Johannes` waltz was beautiful. Johannes is a lovely mover, especially in ballroom.

So did I 🙂

Well I’m only just catching up with all of your comments, i think Sam is so much better than some people still remaining, but the public have spoken, so out she goes.
My prediction for the final, Sarah, Tasha and Jamie.
I’ll be really cross if the Go Compare man makes it through.
I think Sarah is a lovely dancer

Calendargirl Mon 04-Nov-24 10:45:33

I think one of the judges said that Sam might have got to the final.

No way.

Sparklefizz Mon 04-Nov-24 10:07:30

I predict JB, Jamie and Sarah in the final.

escaped Mon 04-Nov-24 09:12:49

I'm away, so only saw Sunday's show, Montell and Johannes were better, but certainly not inspiring.
Did I hear one of the judges say they had expected them to be in the final? No way! The male dancers - like JB and Jamie - are very strong rhythm/dancewise for me, plus Tasha.

After all the hoohaa about Wynne did anyone notice Shane’s partner sitting with her hand on his leg?
Will there be anything said about that I wonder. I’m sure there would if the position were reversed.
.....but with Wynne, his partner didn't like it and moved his hand away. That's the difference.

His partner did not like it does not make the accusations of him being lecherous true, that is the difference

I thought Montell and Johannes' dance was extremely dull; perfectly executed but boring, costumes, set and lighting also.
Think that was why they were in the dance-off.

Sparklefizz Sun 03-Nov-24 20:02:51

You were right Calendargirl - byebye to Sam.

Calendargirl Sun 03-Nov-24 20:02:03

Did Motsi just say that Sam had danced ‘a slow foxtrot?’

But it was an American Smooth!

That’s one reason she was out, it didn’t seem like an AS.

rafichagran Sun 03-Nov-24 19:56:00

Sam to leave. I thought she would be in the dance off. I also liked Jamie's humility as well when he was talking to Claudia.

rafichagran Sun 03-Nov-24 19:54:13

I disagree Ferry that she is lacking in choreography skills. I have always liked her dancing and style. Personel opinion I guess.

Calendargirl Sun 03-Nov-24 19:46:52

Well, think it will be Sam who goes out.

Oh , that’s a dance off surprise to me.
