Strictly 2024

I just found this:

Interesting!

I too think Shayne is at risk tonight. Especially if he’s in the dance off with Wynne. I really enjoyed Shayne’s dance last night and think he’s improving. The judges seem to love Wynne and I think would save him rather than Shayne.

Still doesn't explain why Wynne keeps being retained, because he really isn't very good, and he doesn't seem to be a very sympathetic character.

People vote for him eazybee. He wouldn’t still be there unless the public vote kept him out of the bottom two. The judges power is limited, that’s why there are always poor dancers but good entertainers still there at this stage of the competition - if the public like them they stay. I can’t see him being there much longer though.

Very moving Remembrance Day dance from the pro's. I'm in tears.

😯 Tasha!

You can't drive through Blackpool!

You've either never been or you go and visit.

Shirley said "One couple had a more joyous routine". Well, you can't have a joyous Rumba, can you??

I knew Shirley would save Wynne. She's favoured him all the way through.

Well, that's a pity.
Shane was better than Jamie or Wynne.

I honestly thought this would be the outcome. I don't dislike Wynne but I knew Shirley would save him.
The above said Wynne was gracious and said he was happy to have got to week 8.

Yes, he was.

When the casting vote went to Shirley that was only going to go one way. I’m sad for Shayne and Nancy. I think they deserved to go through. Wynne and Katya’s dance was more Katya than Wynne 😞

Poor show Shirley.

Sad about that result. I feel Shayne is the better dancer too.

Oh dear Shirley, why??

Grumpy about that result here too. Nancy looked really tee-d off we thought.
I suppose Wynn is a flamboyant performer but, as said above, a joyous rumba would be a real turn up for the books.

I was disappointed with the result. Shayne was the better dancer. Nancy was so gutted wasn’t she. Katya looked so upset for them she is so lovely. I loved Michael and Alfie tonight and Kai and I’m not sure who he was dancing with but they were brilliant.

I’m glad Wynne was saved. He was truly joyous to watch whereas I was rather bored watching Shane and he has been near the bottom and in the dance off twice.

I think Wynne is great. Good rhythm , light on his feet and great at interpreting the story of the dance.

You could tell which way it was heading. After Craig and Motsi's votes, when Anton started going on about energy it opened the door for Shirley to make the joyous comment and save Wynne.
Last night I thought Shane should go, but seeing the two dances side by side tonight, I changed my thinking.

I'm not sure who it was dancing with Kai? Karen maybe but it was a lovely dance.

Sorry to see Shayne go out and miss Blackpool.

I think it was Karen dancing with Kai.

Isn't Karen one of the dancers to be axed?
I think she was making a point!

I was watching a really interesting programme on Talking Pictures about the Royal Family At War which didn’t finish until 7.40.

I tuned in to Strictly just as they were announcing the second eliminations, so wasn’t sure who was dancing against Shayne until the actual dance off,

Yes, I knew Shirley would save Wynne, think she and Anton were in cahoots.

Karen to be axed?

Have I missed something?

I loved Karen and Kai’s dance. Karen is my favourite female professional and I was disappointed to see her paired with Paul Merson as she was bound to have an early exit.

Calendargirl there have been stories in the press in the last few days stating some of the “veteran” pro dancers are facing the axe. These are Neil,Katya,Karen ,Gorka and one other whose name escapes me. Apparently they want to bring in younger dancers and freshen it up. Not sure if it’s true or not.
I for one wouldn’t miss Neil and Karen.
