Strictly am shocked *No spoilers* - edited by MNHQ

I thought Mike would go? She didn't put a foot wrong.

So glad the public aren’t falling for the Michelle bandwagon. She was wooden and did not deserve those scores in my opinion.
Bit of Emperor’s new clothes going on.......

I've gone off Michelle again. "I want this and I'm going to fight for it" sounds too competitive by half for me. I mean, they might all be feeling it but saying so is NOT IN THE SPIRIT!

😢 😢 😢 😢 😢 😢 😢 He would have been 25 next month ♥ Jack ♥

But doesn't deserve the dance off...

Today 19:34 Horehound

See her dance there was a lot of faffing at the start wasn't there?

Yes, lots of time wasting. Len used to hate that, I remember

Absolutely loved that, both the singing and the dancing.

Anyone know why Janette hasn't been in the group dances for a while?

He's like the oldest 40 year old since that cricketer last year.

She wouldn't win because she won't have that big a following surely?

Kelvin will be in final

I voted for Michelle last night.

The two people I know who watch strictly really don't like Michelle, i think because she's American & because she's not as gushy about the show / partner as others are.

I don't see anything wrong with her sounding competitive.

Chris has done a TV series) he was a journalist). Stand up galore and does a podcast with his wife.
I am not middle aged, oh shit I think I am

I like Shirley's dress.

Love your description Fuzzy

"Bumped him in the bollocks"

That well known dance move

Piggy I'd say chris' fan base is younger than that. 20-40. He's been a comedian on a couple of sitcoms which were aimed at that age group.

I like Shirley’s dress

I like Shirley's dress!

I don’t think Motsi buys anything off the peg

Woah crosspost!

Chris actually has a very young fanbase. His podcast is regularly top of the podcast charts. He seems like a nice guy who is really trying, making the most of the experience, no airs or graces, and no pretending to be anything he isn't. Refreshing compared to the intensity of cath & emma, or the "how can I use this to her more famous" youtubers etc.

I think naked competitiveness was what stymied Gabby Logan. It just makes the whole thing joyless.

I guess Shirley has a lovely frock on?

He isn't one of those standups who is on panel shows like 8 Out of 10 cats , so am completely unaware of him and don't listen to podcasts. Isn't doing podcasts with one's wife/ children regarded as a bit vom? He is basically an older version of Saffron??

I stopped watching strictly because of the audience whooping and clapping and screaming through the singing but noticed that tonight (watching for the first time this year!) there was none of the above during the les Mis song- does anyone know if this is a regular thing this series or just a one off?
