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.

That was beautiful, Tasha and Aljaz. I loved her dress too.

Sparklefizz Sat 28-Sept-24 19:59:20

Another beautiful Viennese Waltz (Tasha and Alijaz)

Nick is clearly in pain.

Craig is so often at odds with the other Judges, but could he not give more encouragement whatever his opinion/marks are?

Grannynannywanny Sat 28-Sept-24 19:29:35

Just watched Chris and Diane. They were wonderful. Chris has made amazing progress in 2 weeks. I’d love to see Diane’s training techniques.

DH: "Oh dear Craig, go and see an optician!"

I loved Wyn and Katya’s viennese waltz, it was beautiful. I enjoyed Poonam’s dance. I felt it was unfair that she was given 4s when Paul received 4s for barely dancing apart from a couple of lifts. Karen was dancing around him.

Sparklefizz Sat 28-Sept-24 19:16:55

Chris's dance has me in tears! He's amazing!

Allira Sat 28-Sept-24 19:16:41

Wow, Chris, just wow!!

It starts at 6.15pm tonight

7.15?

Our TV guide on the little TV in the kitchen is totally up the creek without a paddle. It said 7.30pm

Totally irrelevant but I love the username! Very clever 😀

Wynne was very good.
Will he get through to the final I wonder?

Snugglebunny from Shirley, Yuck.

TillyTrotter Sat 28-Sept-24 18:54:03

But ….. all the kisses were unnecessary I thought.

TillyTrotter Sat 28-Sept-24 18:53:14

Beautiful Ballroom dance from Wynne and Karen 💃 🕺

Sparklefizz Sat 28-Sept-24 18:53:14

Wynne and Katya's Viennese Waltz was so graceful and elegant and beautiful. The best dance so far.

rafichagran Sat 28-Sept-24 18:49:32

I agree with Shirley. Paul Merson was very entertaining.

GrannyGravy13 Sat 28-Sept-24 18:21:44

I love Claudia’s dress

Ilovedogs22 Sat 28-Sept-24 17:41:42

Also, before I run off to find some jam tarts, I have to say that I do not like Claudia Winkleman!! She seems very fake & she is scarily beginning to look like the child-catcher in chitty bang-bang!!! 🤔

Ilovedogs22 Sat 28-Sept-24 17:17:32

I prefer Motzi to Darcy Brussel by a country mile. At least Motsi doesn't seem to be looking down on everyone like the prissy Ms Brussel. I haven't actually watched Strictly this year as I'm getting fed-up of blooming love - islanders on ruddy everything! Their even in Masterchef now! I wish the tv companies would stop trying to make stupid people famous!!🤔

GeorgeKirrin Sat 28-Sept-24 13:07:11

I'm not a fan generally but get over ruled in our house. Four things that get on my nerves about it -
1. It goes on for a quarter of the year !!!
2. Not only does it dominate the BBC on weekend television, it's on every other night of the week, plus the One Show, plus Breakfast tv, etc. It's as if the BBC think it's a way of life not just a tv programme.
3. Some of the camera work makes me feel dizzy
4. The screeching and screaming all the time! Decibels 😬

nanaK54 Sat 28-Sept-24 12:43:45

Really looking forward to tonight's show.
I also think that Toyah will be first out - we will see!
If it's Nick I wouldn't be feeling sad about that either.

Kim19 Sat 28-Sept-24 11:24:57

I'm putting my money on the Glasgow doctor to win.

Sparklefizz Sat 28-Sept-24 11:12:01

It starts at 6.15pm tonight

Sparklefizz Sat 28-Sept-24 09:31:49

So who will be first out? Has Nick's arm mended enough for him to have practised for tonight? Like others have mentioned, I don't like Toyah either so wouldn't be sad to see her go.

Sara1954 Sat 28-Sept-24 06:54:33

I won’t be able to watch tonight as I’ll have a houseful, so I’ll definitely be tempted to fast forward every time Motsi opens her mouth, and cut out all the rubbish, but I’ll still enjoy it, I love the dancing.
