Strictly 2024

Montell in the dance off

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.

Poor old Shayne. I hope he's not in the dance off again just because it must be so disheartening.

I think Sam might be in the dance off because, from a practical sense, she may not have the larger fan base that others might have. Chris seems to be struggling now.

Poor Amy. I think she came back to training too soon.

Sarah and Vito deserved 4 10s. They were f a b u l o u s!!! I've watched them again on YouTube today.

I felt for Amy last night. She must have had mixed feelings seeing JB and Lauren scoring so highly, pleased for them I’m sure, but only human to think “But he’s my partner!”

I honestly think she should just have been in the group dances this year, not had a celebrity partner, to give her time to get back in to it after all she’s been through, health wise.

I watched the documentary about her illness, and she seemed so desperate to get back on Strictly. Couldn’t help but feel that didn’t matter nearly so much as getting really well again.

Just watched it this afternoon and really enjoyed the entire show. My heart went out to Amy, she’s looking rather fragile. I hope she’s ok and will soon be back on form.

Sarah and Vito were fabulous. I was hoping stingey Craig would give them a 10. I loved Tash and Aljaz . I’ll guess Pete and Shayne for the dance off.

I’m pretty sure Amy has been in the final before? I don’t think she’s dancing her very best at the moment, but given what she has been through, and the possibility that her arm has been affected due to lymph node removal, I’m rooting for her - and hoping she will bring out the best in JB.

I said she's a very proficient dancer. I said they have choreographers. Not sure what it is you're disagreeing with?

I disagree about Amy, I think she is a lovely dancer. The dancers also have other choreographers to help them.
Lauren is a beutiful dancer and I hope she gets a partner next time.

What a shame that Lauren & JB weren't paired together from the start. To establish such a powerful connection in just a week was incredible - testament to the choreographers (can't remember their names, Lauren did say) and dare I say it as I'll probably get shot down in flames - Lauren's dance ability and input.

Amy is a very proficient technical dancer, but is sadly lacking in choreographic skills. She's had some excellent partners in the past but has never got very near the pointy end of the competition. Lacks innovation, imagination and the wow factor.

Nevertheless, I'm pleased she was well enough to take part in the show in some capacity.

Chris should be in the dance off, whether he will is another matter.

I think Pete might be, and yes, Sam maybe.

I gave 2 votes to Sarah & Vito, and 1 to Montell & Johannes.

Sarah 👏👏👏

Alijaz was breathing so hard and very out of breath. I wondered if he was alright!

Love the dance.

I think Aljaz’ mic was too close? You could hear him breathing when he wasn’t out of breath too. Fabulous dance though.

Who will go this week? I’ve got four potentials in mind.

Alijas is a lovely dancer, and showed showed Tasha's talents beautifully. He really showed all of her talents.
I hope Sam is in the dance off. I like her but others I like better.

Tasha is so so natural, and this was just so beautiful.

Gosh, Alijaz was very out of breath, hope he's ok.

Shirley really gets on my nerves!!!

Head judge or not, she has no right to muscle in and interrupt Craig when he is giving his opinion on a dance, whether she agrees with him or not.

Grr!

Love the dancers. all the judges get on my nerves- they are so so 'up themselves'.

DH asked why they have to dress up. It's for the dancers to dress in dance costumes.
He says they cheapen themselves and the programme.

Some wonderful dancing this evening but annoying crazy marking from the judges.

I've just said that to my daughter NotAGran

Montell's waltz with Johannes was beautiful and elegant

Sarah definitely under marked. I predict she will lift the glitter ball 🪩.
