Strictly 2024

I think all this talk about Wynne is over the top. Katya is a adult, she said she was not offended, respect that.
Also it was suggested by Sparklefizz that he is fat, unattractive with no chance of winning, a bit narrow minded in this day and age. If the atove was said about a woman there would be a hue and cry sbout it.
I honestly believe this is a fuss about nothing. Let's move on and enjoy the dancing. I think there are at least three couples who are worse than Wynne, so I believe he will do quite well.

Yes. Even the judges were surprised.

I don’t understand at all why JB was in the dance off, he’s one of the best dancers, there seem to be plenty of surprises this year.

Ooh, the Argentine Tango next week!! Bet Vito will choreograph a dramatic routine.

Bye bye Paul

Spectacular and dramatic dance from the pro dancers.

Desperate to keep him in or wanting to show support for a man
who has been unfairly accused of sexual advances to his dance partner
Anniebach Whether in your opinion you think Wynne has been "unfairly accused", the fact of the matter is that all the viewers saw his hand creeping across Katya's stomach, and saw her reaction to it. She didn't like it and surely that's up to her.

Obviously she didn’t like him, she had that right, she chose the
wrong time didn’t she ? Rather a disappointing partner, not
attractive, fat, no chance of winning.
No matter, you believe with the cameras flashing he was getting a thrill or perhaps more , I do not, she forgot the cameras. This does matter, not to be liked ? ok, accused of
being a lech is not ok

I follow Strictly on Facebook, and actually there’s not the condemnation of Wynne on the comments section on there, except for his actual dance last night. Whether comments are filtered or not I don’t know, but if the 1000 comments on the post are anything to go by, compared to comments about some of the others, I could be wrong but I don’t think he’s going to be the one going home tonight.

Shirley commented on Pete’s impressive lifts while saying there shouldn’t have been any lifts in that dance . Then made it clear she was prepared to overlook the breach and went on to give them a favourable score. So much for the judges being impartial. Craig may be strict but at least he’s consistent and fair.

I mean chemistry between Pete and his partner, not between him and Shirley! 😃

Peter's hip action wasn't brilliant, and his legs were a bit stiff, but there was certainly chemistry between them!

Shirley certainly got quite excited when Pete did the rumba. It was a bit icky tbh.

I think she really likes him 😂

I think Chris is a-maze-ing!!! What he is achieving without being able to see is truly remarkable. I thought his dance last night to ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ was incredibly emotional. I’d really love him to win, but don’t think he will

Like others on here have commented, Shirley seemed a bit ‘over excited’ last night - maybe she and Motsi had taken a pre-show sherry (or three)

He’s trying to be a cross between Len and Bruno

‘Trying’ being the operative word.

The shrieking and jumping off his chair is Bruno, some of the phrases he uses are pinched off Len.

The thing is, he passes some really constructive comments when he talks about what he really knows, i.e. being a professional dancer on the show, which none of the other judges can claim to.

Most of us want to see proper dancing without the hype .
I'm finding Anton a bit of a clown .

Completely agree.

I'm disappointed that Anton is over-egging himself. He's trying to be a cross between Len and Bruno (both irreplaceable in their own way) and seems to have lost himself in all of it.

He does actually have quite a dry sense of humour, I wish he'd just be himself.

I saw him with Erin Boag when they toured together and he was absolutely delightful, but that was a few years back now.

I just feel when they dole out 10’s so early on, there’s nothing left to strive for, which is why Craig wisely hangs on to his 10 paddle.

Shirley, Motsi, Anton, just want to be popular.

Evening out yesterday - yay! So only caught up this morning.

Chris and Dianne such a moving performance. I will never understand how she teaches him and/or how he manages to execute these dances they are a very special partnership.

Wynne and Katya - last week's news really - we will never know the truth so no point speculating - I did think marks were too high but what do I know?!

I sometimes watch and predict the scores - for the first few I got them mostly right apart from one of Craig's but then the scores went all to pot for the final few dancers.

I love Strictly, but I felt last night, that the scores were being manipulated, Shirley really disappointed me.

Clawdy

I think the judges are desperate to keep Wynne and Katya in. Those marks were ridiculous. And Shirley was so over the top last night, for most of the programme.

I agree Clawdy. As someone else said last night, he stumbled and nearly fell over. How could that possibly warrant a score of 9 from Shirley and her comment that his dance was exquisite.

The marking of Wynne’s dance was not of his doing, expect
social media will say he fixed it.
