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.

Clawdy

Voted for JB. Sarah is so irritating, hope she goes, but probably not.

Love Sarah!

'What have you done today to make you feel proud, Clawdy!'

If I was a gambler I would put my house on for Chris to win.

So if Natasha is saved now, assuming Pete is the other one in the bottom two, she might as well not come back next week because the public aren't voting for her. (Twice).

I can’t believe Chris is through to the final! And Tasha in the dance off, and yet she got a perfect score for her dance last night.
Chris had improved enormously, but he’s not good enough for the final.

Agree.

Oh well, bye Pete.

lemsip Sun 08-Dec-24 19:56:29

pete wouldn't mind going because maura is out of the jungle so he would go see her.

Kim19 Sun 08-Dec-24 19:57:16

Hallelujah!

Allira Sun 08-Dec-24 20:00:01

Ah, right result, but what a lovely man he is!

Lomo123 Sun 08-Dec-24 20:01:10

Love Pete.

rafichagran Sun 08-Dec-24 20:01:29

Chris or JB to win now.

Sparklefizz Sun 08-Dec-24 20:02:42

That was a terrific semi final.

GrannyGravy13 Sun 08-Dec-24 20:02:52

Tasha is not getting the public vote, so will probably not win.

I think Chris will win.

Sara1954 Sun 08-Dec-24 20:08:31

I hope JB will win if not, then Sarah
It was Pete’s time, but I really got to like him, sorry to see him go.

Has anyone gone to the Strictly Tour? Is it worthwhile or the same dances as the tv show?

I have been to the tour at the O2.

Brilliant evening, but we had very good seats curtesy of one of the celebrity contestants.

Millie22 Sun 08-Dec-24 20:20:35

I think that Chris is going to win as it won't matter what he does next week as he is getting so many votes.

I'd like JB to win.

Allira Sun 08-Dec-24 20:21:27

I thought the judges judged the final but DH said no, it's public vote.

I've been to the tour at the O2. Some of the routines were different from the tv show because of the size of the stage and seating at the venue. There were also more group dances with professionals and celebrities together.

Yes, public vote.
I assume one of the couples will go early on, leaving three.

I just lost a fiver 😯

Sparklefizz Sun 08-Dec-24 20:31:57

Yes, if I remember correctly, there are 2 public votes - one couple goes out, leaving 3 and a 2nd vote.

I’ve been to the Strictly tour several times. Even if you’ve seen the dances on TV it’s great to see them for real. I’d recommend going it’s a fab night.

I wasn’t a Pete fan but it was his time to go and he can leave with his head held high. I love Chris and would like him to win but then again I love JB.

It was time Pete went.
I would like JB to win.
I suspect Chris will win as it is a public vote.

Not meaning to sound spiteful, but I don`t want Tasha to win. She`s a highly trained dancer, I prefer to see someone win who was never used to dancing.
