Strictly 2024

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Montell in the dance off

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

.....but with Wynne, his partner didn't like it and moved his hand away. That's the difference.

Well, think it will be Sam who goes out.

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

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.

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.

You were right Calendargirl - byebye to Sam.

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.

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

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.

I predict JB, Jamie and Sarah in the final.

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

No way.

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

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