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 Shayne in the dance off. I didn’t expect that. I thought he’d be safe for another week.

Sparklefizz Sun 27-Oct-24 17:53:11

Yes. Poor Amy. She has Crohn's so her collapse may have been due to that.

Grannynannywanny Sun 27-Oct-24 13:18:38

I read earlier that Amy collapsed and was taken to hospital after last night’s show. I hope she’ll be ok.

I also thought Carlos dressed as Claudia's doppleganger was great.

Oh, I had no idea who that was! Didn’t realise what it represented.

I loved the whole show and I don't really like Halloween. Craig &Anton were brilliant as the sisters. The sets were amazing.The crew behind the show don't really get enough credit for what they do. I voted for Chris I admire him so much. The show is a lovely Saturday night treat.

You missed some wonderful dancing though ....

Probably but I couldn't get past the bizarre costumes and adolescence of the judges.

Nikita in suspenders and a corset … the costume of the series!!! He looked Fab-U-Lus darlinggrin

Vito's choreography is always W O W !
And if he's paired with a celeb who can cope with it, they are fantastic to watch.

Here's a little treat - Vito dancing the Argentine Tango with Ellie Leach in the last series.

I watched with my teenage granddaughter and I had just said to her about Sam’s dress being a hindrance to the dance and she’d be better with a shorter style. I barely finished the sentence when off it came! 😆

Sparklefizz Sun 27-Oct-24 09:10:21

I had no idea who Shirley was supposed to be, nor Craig and Anton as the twins as I'm not a fan of horror movies. I have been "educated" by posts on here and online.

I thought Sam's pink dress was dull until she whipped it off. shock

I'm not a lover of the theme weeks and I do hate it when the costumes are so bizarre that they distract from the actual dancing. But I thought last night was definitely one of the better Halloween weeks with a good standard of dancing and slightly more appropriate music than the last couple of weeks.

I was willing Vito to get a grip on Sarah in the first lift!

Sadly I think Punam is in danger, which is a shame because she is on the "journey". With Wynne or possibly JB. Amy is a lovely dancer but her choreography is a bit dancing by numbers with little if any wow factor.

I was surprised how lovely looking JB was without his real hair - I can't get to grips with the men's hairstyling of today. grin

I loved last night’s show. Sarah and Vito’s Argentine tango was the dance of the night for me but I enjoyed every dance.

I feel the judges overmarked Wynne again this week. I think Punam and Wynne might be in the dance off and the judges are likely to save Wynne.

I agree with everything you say. I would like to see Wynne go after the revolting crude comment he made to the makeup team.

I was out last night, have just caught up.
It was a good show with excellent choreography for Halloween. Jamie and Michelle, Sarah and Vito for me. I don't want Amy and JB to be in the bottom two.

Casdon Sun 27-Oct-24 07:58:18

I do think Punam’s time has come now. My favourites were Tasha and Aljaz, and Jamie and Michelle - he has come on so much in the last couple of weeks.

OMG!!!!! Craig and Anton!!! I'm speechless.

Turned it off after five minutes - all that dressing up for Hallowe'en is just ridiculous and OTT.

We watched a film instead.

Some great performances tonight. Can’t call who will be in the dance off.

Nikita in suspenders!

Couldn’t take my eyes of him!

Sparklefizz Sat 26-Oct-24 20:08:25

Forgot to mention the music ... that was great too!

Millie22 Sat 26-Oct-24 20:07:46

Nikita in suspenders!

Sparklefizz Sat 26-Oct-24 20:05:54

Impressive standard of dancing tonight I don't want anyone to go home. And fabulous costumes and makeup. I've really enjoyed it all.

Sparklefizz Sat 26-Oct-24 19:55:00

Sarah and Vito - breathtaking!!

rafichagran Sat 26-Oct-24 19:42:42

I agree with Craig. I really enjoyed that performance.
