I thought it only stayed open for 20 minutes.

Yeah I got distracted with opening wine putting on pjs by the time I went to vote it had closed.

Shmithecat2 · 28/09/2019 21:27

@Mrsjayy rookie mistake. Pjs on and wine open before it starts next week....

ChoccyJules · 28/09/2019 21:28

Fortunately my iPad remembered my login!
One for James, because having worried about him last week, I think he‘s enjoying it and Craig was overly mean to him.
One for Michelle, because she has surprised me and Joe Varney is turning into my fave male dancer.
DD voted for Neil (and Alex) as he‘s her favourite and she’s thrilled he has a partner. I think he’s a bit too in love with himself, as someone upthread said.

Monkseal is quick off the mark

Wizzbangpop · 28/09/2019 21:31

I voted for James and Luba x2 and Alex and Neil once

Im trusting that kelvin doesn’t need my vote and other people find him bloody gorgeous

Mrsjayy · 28/09/2019 21:33

I would have voted for James and Luba Anton &Emma and Alijaź and Lady W

SanFranBear · 28/09/2019 21:34

Forgot when it started so was about half hour behind you all (and missed the voting!)

I thought Anneka looked absolutely stunning this week and what an improvement.. I really hope she has the votes to stay.

I don't know that anyone wow'ed me massively this week but I did like Dev, Karim & Saffron.

Will be interesting to see who ends up out tomorrow. I think James and David will garner plenty of votes so it'll be some of the mid/lower table guys.. perhaps Mike or Catherine? Maybe one of the Emma's?

I rarely sit through the Results show.. I just Google when I know it's finished Grin

Horsemad · 28/09/2019 21:39

Hmm, nobody really did it for me tonight, I probably enjoyed Karim's dance most.

Shirley seemed nicer towards Emma this week I thought.

I think James will go tomorrow and I feel David James was marked particularly harshly.
Could hardly bear to watch Mike & Katya - car crash TV...! 😲

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 28/09/2019 21:46

I voted for Kelvin: bloody love him and am already feeling cross that ringdingadinger Karim is probably hoovering up thousands of votes Grin Was heartened by Monkseal comparing Kelvin fan support to that for Jay and Louis though already - fingers crossed!

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 28/09/2019 21:55

Gareth, Nicole Cutler has a series out years and years ago (I think she was in 2, not 3, then 4 onwards) but I don't think there was such a big song and dance about her leaving.

notmyrealname37 · 28/09/2019 22:00

I love Strictly but I would love it to return to the previous format of a single type of ballroom and Latin dance each week as it just seemed like a fairer comparison - often the dances that are allowed lifts or are faster look more impressive than more sedate ones, and you got more of a feel for how the dance was supposed to look.

Wizzbangpop · 28/09/2019 22:08

Oh that’s right in the early stages half the couples did he waltz the other half did the cha cha or something. It wasn’t until weeks 4 or 5 they started to add a few more dances into the mix.

However back then they didn’t really have themed nights. So I guess that would have been harder to pull off if they all had to do similar dances

SchadenfreudePersonified · 28/09/2019 22:14

I think a lot of us would agree with you notmyrealname. It wasn't just fairer, but it was easier for us dance plebs to compare like-with-like.

GarethSouthgatesWaistcoat · 28/09/2019 22:36

A Strictly prog starting now on channel 55!

Presented by Kimberley Walsh and Gethin Wink

GarethSouthgatesWaistcoat · 28/09/2019 22:36

Not sure where that wink came from!

Mrsjayy · 28/09/2019 22:39

What channel namei have sky so no ch55

Mrsjayy · 28/09/2019 22:40

Found it ch 159 on sky

GarethSouthgatesWaistcoat · 28/09/2019 22:56

Oops sorry MrsJayy. I thought there's be more dancing but I suppose channel 5 aren't allowed to air it!

GarethSouthgatesWaistcoat · 28/09/2019 22:59

Goth KFG 😂😂

Mrsjayy · 28/09/2019 23:01

Its just not right is it goth kev 😀

GarethSouthgatesWaistcoat · 28/09/2019 23:23

I love how commited he was to it. He looked like a moody teenager Grin

Mrsjayy · 28/09/2019 23:29

Apparently he auditioned for strictly as goth Kev TWICE bless him thinking he was a rock god Grin

RageAgainstTheVendingMachine · 28/09/2019 23:33

Going all the way back in the thread to RuPaul not doing tucks - I am pretty sure that the pp meant he no longer puts his penis between and behind his legs when doing drag as opposed to not having the odd nipntuck Grin

I do not believe that Claud's hair is a result of using Head n Shoulders.
I want my money back Wink

I would love to see Michaela Strachan or Emma Forbes on this.

Dev's jive was to Olly Murs not Bruno Mars. The bomber jacket with the D/college theme and rebuff at the end of the routine have been done to death.
Dianne did an Anton from last week and outjived her partner.

Vicky Giggles gives Karen some shocking outfits.

Famalam/Babywarz/RelatableNan have all been used very early this series.

Sean(n) did a very well received stand up show at the fringe and on tour where he did a bit of his Charleston and mentioned snogging a gay man's wife...

Emma...Foxblock, Blockstrot, Feckstrot, Fuck that, it was poor

Musicality and fundamentals need to go on Kelv's Nan's Bingo card

We gave James a point per pancake toss.

Anneka is taller than Kev and should have been a shoo-in for Anton and I say that as a Fanton. The ha! ha! marvellous isn't working as she is not living up to her ringer status atm. Anton's worst mismatch was towering above poor Lesley Joseph who was craning towards him. Such a shame as she went out early, was Fiona Fullerton mad about it and had a lot of potential. Anton claimed in that pro special the other week she was his quickest learner.

Hated Michelle's dress at first (and it had green, she hates green) but it twirled really prettily.

Nadija did a good bull impression bless her. She should have done the horns too.

Aljaz's pants are on fire about David's not so passable doble.

Shirley allegedly insinuated Darce left as she did not want to dance/do the judges' challenge. Given that Darcy danced at least twice iirc full routines before becoming a judge I can't see that really being the reason?

Mentioning Kelvin's like Gene Kelly. His widow is now changing her identity as we speak. She's not going to another final and no one can make her!

In the same way Ola did catsuits and knee slides and Kristina and her danced around their duffers I think Katya's zany schtick is wearing a bit thin in this routine. Has jumped the shark way too early same as Karen having Jeremy on an actual horse then as a miner literally going underground. Tis too forced and not remotely smooth for an American Smooth (but I didn't get her Road to Amarillo number either)

Kelvin's acting skills made me believe that. Good on him.

Artem is planning to do something with Sharna last time I looked. Both were binned from DWTS at short notice despite her being the reigning champ with someone worse than Hollins. He is also more well known to some now in the States as he is dating his former sleb partner Nicki Bella.
Christie did drop like a sack of spuds in the footage.

Brenda and Craig seem to get on well as fellow judges on DWTS New Zealand.

We are stanning Michelle in our house and are very much hoping for I will survive or Finally from Priscilla with Gio in drag for Movie Week.

I would also like to see Neil play Vincent Van Gogh (Loving Vincent) rather than Bend it like Beckham.

For those who do the spoiler, tis up on Digital Spy now.

Night all Smile x

FlangeBucketFace · 29/09/2019 07:46

We voted for Karim (DS), Alex (DD) and Michelle (me). We all thought Karim and Amy’s dance was outstanding. Absolutely stunning.
