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.

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

So did I 🙂

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

Oh JB-yes.

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

Yes. Snakehips JB ! smile

Oh JB-yes.

Yes, amazing, also Petes dance was lovely.

Calendargirl Sat 09-Nov-24 19:26:32

Oh, I thought JB’s trousers were awful.

He reminded me of a fish in them.

Sparklefizz Sat 09-Nov-24 19:29:53

The Argentine Tango seemed to be more Michelle than Jamie.

Sparklefizz Sat 09-Nov-24 19:30:32

And Pete's Couples Choice was poignant.

YorkLady Sat 09-Nov-24 19:37:23

Song choices tonight are not very good

Sweetpeasue Sat 09-Nov-24 19:44:01

Yes Pete's dance was very emotional and although they were good I hated the music to it.
Sarah is wonderful too.

Sparklefizz Sat 09-Nov-24 19:45:24

I agree re the music and it makes such a difference to overall enjoyment.

merlotgran Sat 09-Nov-24 19:48:56

I hate to say it but so find Johannesburg a bit of a show pony. He takes the spotlight off his partner.

merlotgran Sat 09-Nov-24 19:49:44

Johannes. Stupid phone!

Calendargirl Sat 09-Nov-24 19:52:30

Oh, I really like Johannes.

If he takes the spotlight, it’s because his dancing is mesmerising.

I think he tries to showcase his partner to the best.

Allira Sat 09-Nov-24 19:54:40

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

Loved Sarah's choice of song
What have you done today to make you feel proud, Sarah?

That dance!

Calendargirl Sat 09-Nov-24 19:55:00

Was there 3 Couple’s Choice tonight?

Too many.

Sparklefizz Sat 09-Nov-24 19:58:39

It's true - Dianne has done the most amazing teaching with Chris.

Sparklefizz Sat 09-Nov-24 20:03:54

What terrific dancing tonight.
I think Sarah & Vito were under-marked so I have given them 2 votes.
Hard to choose my 3rd couple but decided to vote for Pete whose Couples Choice moved me.

I agree - I think Montell is struggling because she’s not flexible, she does look stiff against Johannes, but I don’t think he’s deliberately dominant.

Sweetpeasue Sat 09-Nov-24 20:11:35

Great dancing tonight though get so frustrated with unsuitable music.
