Strictly 2018 - thread number seven **title edited on OP's request**

[Oddcat]

New thread. Panicked with the title !

I'm wondering if Neil will be on Strictly next year.

Seann & Katya were not as distant this week. Neil was sort of smirking while Claudia was talking to them.

Liked Charles this week

I'm sure Neil bats for the other team. The more I notice him, the more convinced I am.

And I'll be annoyed if they have Graziano back. He seems like a nice chap but it's just awkward and unfair on his partner.

I can't see Dr Ranj being in the dance off yet, I imagine he has a lot of fans. He seems very likeable

@covetingthepreciousthings I think most of his fans are CBeebies age and too young to vote!

I really wasn't keen on Aj's contemporary dance too many awkward lifts. Like Seann and Katya's dance too, they are sweet together, I really like her choreography. Find Ashley very annoying so can't warm to her at all, like Faye and Giovanni's dance but my favourites tonight was karen and Charles was hoping Carlton/Alfonso would give them a 10 but they probs are just delighted to not be in the dance off.

I loved Danny's dance tonight. I knew he was really the Cat. He did look shattered afterwards though.

I thought AJ and Lauren's dance made her look too big for him. I've not thought that before though.

I think Kevin's due a duffer next year surely??

He had his turn last year.

I'm not a fan of Charles generally but I LOVED that. Bloody brilliant! Also enjoyed red dwarf jive- the bounce he got out of it was outstanding. Also loved Faye. Getting really annoyed with graziano's poor choreography. I think Vick would do so much better with someone like alijaz or Pasha who understand how to choreograph to their pros strength and not to show themselves off.

My children are too old for CBeebies but have fond memories of Dr R so are voting for him! They get their choice of votes and I know a lot of friends whose children love him and vote for him through their parents!

(Have to say I love Dr R and think he's really improving and a very lovely man too)

That was my thought too SoupDragon re: height of Lauren compared to AJ.
Google tells me she is 2 inches shorter than him but I would have put money on her being taller.
I think maybe her athletic build makes her seem taller than him and because he is just a tiny tot, it makes her seem gangly and ungraceful.
It's not a level playing field in so many ways.

I think the song screwed Vick over more than Graziano. The speed was ridiculous. I thought the music choices tonight were bad in general, worse than usual!

There must be something wrong with me but I wasn't THAT crazy on Danny and Amy's jive I'm obviously wrong though as everyone disagrees with me

I wasn’t overwhelmed by it either Figgy.

I loved Kevin and Karen's hug at the end. I'm still rooting for the Clifton's to get back on track.

Yes xsquared Sean can't dance, he comes over badly, I don't reckon he wants to be there I don't like Katya either. Time they were in the DO.

Winged I think that Lauren probably does weigh a bit more than AJ, even if she's shorter, which when she wears heels, will make her look taller than him any way ,they don't seem suited. He and Katya are too pushy . They need ringah partners!

Just made new thread for later... selfish title - I want Alfonso to do the Carlton!!! 😄

Try again

I can't stand Shirley now. That patronising smile, whiney voice, and the way she dislikes certain contestants, usually female.

I liked Seann's dance. He is a complete beginner and, I think, doing well. I find his dances a lot more entertaining than some of the others

I wasn't keen on Seannnn before the snog and i still don't like him now.He can go.

I wouldn’t miss Sean(n) if he went and I hope he goes rather than Vick or Lauren.
