Strictly 2024

So disappointing. At this rate Pete will be there till the final 😡

Johannes is wonderful for building up women's confidence! He seems a lovely person.

I don't think Pete will be able to master two dances for next week.

I do feel sorry for Montell. 4 dance offs is a lot.

Very sorry for Montell. She did so well with no dance experience, unlike Tasha.
I'm hoping for JB to win .

Used to love this programme. It's now nothing short of a farce imo.

Oh no. It looks like I'm going to have to eat my ballet tights after all, as promised! Pete should be nowhere near the final.

I've said before, there is room for one person to bow out now, because we currently have 5 couples queueing up for the semi final. That would leave one too many for the usual 3 in the final. I'm sure the BBC did it like this incase an Amanda Abingdon, or an injury, scenario happened again this year. Pete could say he will go now of his own accord, but actually why should he? He is getting the votes. I can't remember because I was abroad for the first few shows. Has Pete ever been in the bottom two? Wasn't JB once?

Pete should be nowhere near the final

Exactly!

Why should Pete be nowhere near the final? The public are voting for him, yes there are better dancers they have had training.
It's a dance show where people vote for their favourite, it's simple as that. If it was s dance compition there would be no audience vote. As a viewer I just look at the performances I like.

I can’t recall anyone getting to the semi final before (correct me if I’m wrong) who has been consistently the worst dancer in recent weeks, as Pete has been.
Usually, after Blackpool, the viewers stop voting for them.

Having said that, I voted for Pete this week, and Chris, who is probably the next worse, as I enjoyed their performances.

Don’t care for Sarah, although a much better dancer.

I think (and hope actually) that JB gets to the final and wins, as to me, he has improved week by week and is now very good, plus he seems such a nice chap.

And also think he should have had Lauren as his partner from week 1. I like Amy, and think she has gone through so much, but with hindsight should have not been partnered up this year. Group dances would have been sufficient to get her back into it all. Only my opinion, of course.

I agree about Amy/Lauren.
It's back to the old thing, that you can be very good at something, but unless you're a good teacher it's hard to pass it on. Lauren obviously gets the best out of JB. Diane is another good teacher.
Amy possibly took on too much, you soon, but I respect her.

Well I'm glad Pete is in the semi final. He is what Strictly is supposed to be about as he hasn't had previous dance training and his performance on Saturday was lovely.

I don’t see why Pete should go, it would be disrespectful to the many people who voted for him for a start, and he has no previous experience, and he has improved.
I really hope JB wins after Saturdays performance, and Lauren is definitely one of my favourite professionals

Are GN fans ready for the semi-final?

Yep!

I didn't like Tasha's music at all.

Raring to go 🍷

I don’t enjoy being negative but that wasn’t Tasha’s best dance and I didn’t like music either merlotgran
It is not difficult at this stage for a female Celeb to do amazing lifts aided by a male Pro. (in my opinion)

Yes, with the day I've had in Devon today, travel and weather-wise, I need some nice entertainment. 🍷

WOW JB !!!
Fantastic and dramatic! It's a 10 from me.

escaped Were you not in the Red Zone in Devon today, where we had to stay at home?

JB was brilliant.

JB had a difficult dance there and he nailed it.

JB my winner.

JB 👍

Chris’s Charleston just not good enough for a semi final.
