Strictly Thread 4. Who's going out first?

[Elderflower14]

Can't see another thread so have started one. Sorry I couldn't think of a better thread title!! 😂 😂 😂

Hello! Thank you for the new thread.

My favourite all time dancer from both the USA and UK is
Such an inspiration to my Ds2 who is deaf. Nyle overcame great challenges to win and he is gorgeous too!! 😊 😊 😊

I really hope it is Susannah - she deserves to go based on performance so far. I can’t work out who else will might be in the dance off though. Maybe Seann (I’d quite like to see him have another go at the jive, but only if he is against Susannah and likely to stay in). Hopefully not Katie (poor thing - I think it might break her). Stacey is surprisingly far down the leaderboard, so another possibility...

Phew: found it - we really need to be better organised and not fill up the old thread before someone's linked the new one

Thanks for starting it. Not long now .

I was musing to DH last night that actually, I've decided Katya isn't all that at choreography - she's good at the big moment that everyone remembers (whatever that was in Gangnam Style where Ed Balls rode her like a pony; that really weird lift she and Joe did; that thing last night where Seann was opening and closing her legs like a pair of scissors) but she's not as talented as some of them at choreographing to suit her partner and make the most of them rather than her.

Sorry, I can't explain it very well. I remember watching Anastacia when Gorka stood in for Brendan when he was ill, and in that week she absolutely blossomed and came alive.

Cheers elderflower and big hugs for you, I am now a George Ezra fan and thinking of you tonight x

Susannah should go because she makes no effort, doesnt look like shes enjoying it and doesnt seem to want to try. Like what was she doing yesterday? How can she glaze over ffs?!

Just a warning to anyone who is watching the 'live' thingy on YouTube with the comments at the side of it. Probably best not to watch it on a Sunday before the show as I was just on there and somebody put the result up, which I couldn't help reading (I'm proud of my rather incredible peripheral vision, but it was annoying in this case.)

and I also liked Nyle. He was amazing from the off.

@MozzieMagnet... Thankyou...

I don’t know if this has been said yet this year, but if people have read the spoiler on Digital Spy (or anywhere else) can they please please keep it to themselves? Not even make little comments like “it was a bit of a shock exit” or similar, just please keep stum.

Thanks for new thread...am here on time tonight and everything!!

Hello new thread. I think Susannah will be out tonight. I hope so. She really is not a good dancer.

I can only imagine it was a combination of terror and concentration! I would definitely go blank about 3seconds in if I was on Strictly

I'm rewatching some dances from last night. I thought Lee's jive was pretty good! So many steps and flourishes and he kept up with Nadiya. It could've been a car crash with that much content. Hated his outfit though apart from the shoes. C'mon wardrobe!

In reference to the remarks on the female contestants appearance, I think it's done in kindness. They do remark on the phwwwwoooooaaaar-ness of the male dancers too. I think its to make them feel a bit more confident. And to be fair, they do tend to look amazing. Susannah scrubbed up very well. That newsreader/tango one last night in the navy sparkly dress - I wouldn't have minded that for myself. And whatsisface Seannnn looked really great - fab hair, fab shirt. I don't think I could have stopped myself saying it tbh.

I reckon if SC isn't voted off , she'll quit - she looks thoroughly miserable .

The choreography I hated most last night was by Jeanette. It seemed designed to showcase..... Jeanette! Ranj was just stood there wriggling, waiting to grab her as she leapt about.

Surely Susannah has to go. I'm not sure even Anton's legion of fans will warm to her. She doesn't seem to be getting into the spirit of the programme or putting in the bloody hard work effort.

I agree elspeth. He didnt do anything at all haha

I wish the judges would aim their comments about the choreography directly at the pros, there's no point telling the celeb - it's not their fault if the dance isn't a true American Smooth or whatever.

I love that video elder. The song is lovely too. He's singing Shotgun tonight, am looking forward to it.

I agree... I would be quite happy to see Susannah go! I'm not sure even Anton's fan base will be enough to keep them out of bottom too. I think Katie, Lauren and Joe will have a strong public vote. Looking forward to George Ezra!!

Here we go!

Pro tango/paso opener is it?

Ds2 is currently sitting in an empty cinema waiting to see the new Jack Black film. I've told him to stop messaging me!!! 😂 😂 😂 😂

Oh ladies dancing in slim trousers

Wooo hoo found you. (You cannot escape)

I also think Susannah to go, just because there doesn't seem to be any joy in it for her.

Another George Ezra fan here...and thinking of you Elderflower
