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.

lovely

The music does go a long way to make a dance .memorable and emotional. J B had right music and he and Lauren are a lively partnership.
Dance of the night.
Chris was good tonight in that quickstep.

Allira Sat 30-Nov-24 20:10:34

Lovely.
But Bert should be wearing a stripey blazer and boater!!

Casdon Sat 30-Nov-24 20:08:26

Well done JB and Lauren, that was fabulous!

TillyTrotter Sat 30-Nov-24 20:08:01

JB is flourishing with Lauren. My favourite dance tonight.

Calendargirl Sat 30-Nov-24 20:07:07

JB- best dance of the night.

In the true style of musicals, JB wins hands down for me because he presented his routine best. Diane and Chris were not far behind.
👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

Oh JB!!

Pete's dancing isn't that good but there's something about the two of them dancing - this evening I couldn't take my eyes off them.

The music helps make the dance, even if there were mistakes.

GrannyGravy13 Sat 30-Nov-24 20:04:51

I agree Sparklefizz just said the same to DH

Sparklefizz Sat 30-Nov-24 20:03:33

There's a vulnerability about Pete. He puts on this cynical tough persona to cover it.

Love that song, loved that musical and it was emotional if not technically perfect.

Chris was good this week.

Millie22 Sat 30-Nov-24 19:49:33

It wasn't much like a Charleston. I preferred JB's.

Allira Sat 30-Nov-24 19:48:00

Well, I don't care what the judges think, I loved that, Chris and Dianne!

My kind of musical 😁

Calendargirl Sat 30-Nov-24 19:43:56

Agree about Motsi, but the others look awful.

Tasha’s rumba had too many other dancers as well, distracting.

Her outfit was gorgeous, but she looked a bit half dressed,

Allira Sat 30-Nov-24 19:43:21

I liked Montell’s rumba.

Wasn’t keen on Sarah’s Charleston.

Too many other dancers, and too many lifts, although they were very daring.

Not that much Charleston to my amateur eyes.

It was more gymnastics than dance.
imo.

Having had a great Charleston dancer and now a gymnast in the family, I think I know the difference.

Casdon Sat 30-Nov-24 19:42:10

None of them have really grabbed me so far tonight, although I did like Tasha’s outfit - not many people would look so good in those trousers. The music was dreary on Montell’s dance, which put me off (and I still think she’s stiff in the middle, sorry).

Allira Sat 30-Nov-24 19:39:49

Sparklefizz

Montell drastically under-marked by Craig. Grrr !

Yes, why?

I think Montell's dance was lovely.

Motsi looks lovely tonight - why on earth do the judges feel the need to dress up? It's ridiculous and demeans their position as judges.

Totally agree. Was just about to type that.

Sparklefizz Sat 30-Nov-24 19:38:26

That Argentine Tango wasn't at all sexy in my opinion - just a bit too "wriggly" (but what do I know?)
