I’ll vote for
Katz ,
Jimmy,
Ellie &
Lewis .

Thoroughly enjoyed tonight 👍🏻

I enjoyed Alex’s, Lewis and Jimmy more than the others.

That was a great evening of entertainment. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I’ve already rewound the tv and watched Lewis and Katya again!

Some terrific dancing this evening. I've given 3 votes to Lewis and 2 to Balvinder.

Tess legs are always astride she would look more feminine to close them when standing or wear longer dresses.

Yes, I agree.

She has great legs, but they don’t look very attractive how she stands.

Yes it was a really enjoyable Movie night I think they all upped there game. Loved Cynthia’s input too.

Best Movie night for years in my humble.

I do wish Shirley would rein it in a bit - she sounds so smutty at times - all a bit sad really.

I voted: 3 x Amber and Nikita, 1 x George and Alexis, 1 to Karen and Carlos

Lewis was amazing. Loved that dance.
I voted for Lewis x2
Ellie
Alex
Le Voix

I have never heard of La Voix before this and was sceptical about his appearance on Strictly but what a complete joy he is. Funny, quick witted and a good dancer too. I can't make my mind up about Vicky, I find her exhausting to watch and she makes me feel on edge.

I think Lewis is amazing and Katya's choreography is always sensational.

Yes same here. I’m glad Katya has a partner with a chance of lifting the glitter ball this year.

Having been away, I'm late to Sparkelfizz's lovely yearly thread, so joining in 3 weeks down the line if I may, I would say there are two or three contestants who have had dance training, two or three men just stomping around, and one or two with real potential.

Not much of a post there, but hope to find better things to say next time!

nanaK54 I believe if If Shirley was a man and Hatty a young woman there would be complaints about the remarks made... and rightly so.

She was an embarrassment yesterday.
How is that even allowed to be broadcast I wonder?

Totally agree NotSpaghetti. I said the same to my daughter at the time.

Sorry, obviously meant Harry - not Hatty!
And yes, Sparklefizz my husband said "she's way out of line there" and I just thought it was grubby to be honest.

Slightly awkward that Harry obviously loved it - and loves showing off his body - and where that is the one thing he's obviously bothered about.
I find it all rather odd actually to want to look like that but that's beside the point.

Shirley's remarks were inappropriate.

Yes Shirley should be more careful with her comments and she has definitely overdone the botox.

I do think Shirley tends to over-mark a younger man each season 🤔
It's very noticeable how she gushes.

Honestly, I really could not be bothered with what Shirley said to Harry, he did not take offence. Do we have to watch everything we say, compare this and that. Strickly is a magical programne, just enjoy it.

Harry was an Olympic sprinter, he has won gold medals at European and Commonwealth levels, he is now a gladiator, his body is his career.

He has to work hard to keep in shape in order to earn a living, I imagine any remarks Shirley made he has heard before.

Yes, that's why he has those muscles.

I always think Shirley feels she has to keep up with Craig in the critical comments department, and she says things for effect. People don’t take offence at Craig because he is consistent, and doesn’t have favourites but it does seem at times that Shirley does. Motsi and Anton are both kinder.

Oh, I missed the Shirley/Harry comment, I was fast forwarding then. To be fair, Shirley does know her dance steps best of the judges, maybe she should stick to the technique?

Thank you for your hmm ... kind contribution.

I never expect anything less from Mabon! She is always a misery! Done for effect, I suspect!

Shirley gets more annoying every week.

Here we go. I wonder who’ll be in the dance off. I’m thinking Chris and Ross.
