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.

Think it could be Pete and Sarah in the dance off.

If so, it will be bye bye Pete.

Some of the judges seem to like Pete and Shirley has the casting vote. I can’t call it.

My votes 2 for Sarah and 1 for Chris, I'm hoping Sarah wins.

JB to win for me. Chris for the final with Tasha or Sarah.
Shirley was certainly gushing over Pete.

The point is, to me. out of the five contestants tonight, four of them have improved dramatically, one has stayed the same and that is Tasha, a professional dancer to begin with. Lacks personality and attack. Think she was earmarked to be the winner.

Yes a great semi final. My votes were for JB and 2 for Chris.

I found Sarah’s trousers distracting along with the lighting in her first dance and also Pete’s AT .

Think the dance off could be a tense one.

A darned sight better than either of Pete’s dances though.

Nannee49 Sat 07-Dec-24 20:34:00

It's going to be a very tough final! I love JB but Tasha's dancing is exquisite.

Dinahmo Sat 07-Dec-24 20:32:22

I voted for JB, Chris and Sarah. I hope that JB wins.He was excellent tonight

Calendargirl Sat 07-Dec-24 20:22:22

Great semi final.

More dancing, less mindless chit chat.

TillyTrotter Sat 07-Dec-24 20:16:09

What an uplifting semi-final?
I voted for Chris, Tasha and my winner - J.B.

Sparklefizz Sat 07-Dec-24 20:11:52

It's been an emotional evening with some terrific dancing.

Sweetpeasue Sat 07-Dec-24 20:10:40

Surely Pete over marked there?

Millie22 Sat 07-Dec-24 20:04:45

Just shut up Shirley about the age thing. It's getting irritating.

Didn’t like Sarah’s frilly white trousers.

She has great legs, and you couldn’t see the movements so well in what she was wearing.

I was thinking exactly the same!

Sparklefizz Sat 07-Dec-24 19:59:57

And it's so true what Dianne was saying about Chris's training - he has not even been able to see himself in the mirror to perfect his techniques, posture etc.

Calendargirl Sat 07-Dec-24 19:59:39

And Shirley has just mentioned ‘being in her 50’s’ again!

Why, why why?

So am I, what an inspiration he is.

Sparklefizz Sat 07-Dec-24 19:50:37

I'm crying here along with Chris!

Sara1954 Sat 07-Dec-24 19:48:55

JB to win for sure

Sweetpeasue Sat 07-Dec-24 19:47:50

Chris was incredible in that waltz. He's never stood on his partners toes throughout- don't know how he does it but quite emotional after that.

escaped Sat 07-Dec-24 19:34:36

Why did Shirley say she doesn't judge Pete against the others? Isn't it a competition?
Surely in her head at least, she should. And more importantly when scoring.

Sparklefizz Sat 07-Dec-24 19:22:44

Aaaw Pete was fighting back tears.

escaped Sat 07-Dec-24 19:18:24

Sarah's dance had attitude. Loved the dress.
