Strictly '21 #10: Ten little ghosties, dancing 'round the floor...

[GraveyardPlotsAndDoomedScreams]

...After Sunday night's show we'll say "boo!" to one more 👻

The is the spooky Hallowe'en night spoiler-free Strictly thread! 🎃 🎃

I'm setting it up a bit early, because I don't think I'll be able to watch live, and the previous thread is almost at an end. Check over there first to see if it's still going before posting on this one.

I’m glad Judy has gone. She was the weakest but bloody hats off to her for dancing whilst she was still clearly suffering from covid after effects.
That was gutsy.
Delighted that Aljaz was saved.

I for one am looking forward to the JoJos rumba, subtle sexiness I’m hoping for but don’t make it too vanilla boys!

New thread for when we're ready.

I think Graziano would be drop dead gorgeous if he chopped his hair off

I agree! He'd look great with short hair

...and a smidge less guyliner...

A few years ago when Dev and Di left on a ccc with red suits, I said they would have been better wearing them for Us at Halloween.
Iman, who as a basketball player, towers above his pro...got 40 for his contemporary last week. No dance experience, knocks it out the park.

Judy - bye (why no hallowe’en outfit)
Gordon Ramsay’s daughter - doing much better but bye soon.
The 2 men - I’m sure the non dancer has had lots of experience (time for them to leave)
McBusted chap - brilliant
The good morning presenter - fantastic.
Dragon den lady - fantastic but I’m sure she’ll be off soon.
Why they can’t just tell us the results on Sat is a mystery.

The right person went this week. I'm Team Rogio.

Dragon den lady - fantastic but I’m sure she’ll be off soon

Fantastic?? She was awful!

Sara wasn't great on Saturday but I think she's fab, love her 'tood

'Tood?

@MyCatEatsPrawnCrackers

'Tood?

Attitude?

Of course! So why not just write that?!

Funny how we all see things differently!

I think John and Johannes will be in the final.

I don’t rate Tom from McFly. Same with Dan from BBC Breakfast.

Sara shows a lot of potential and is improving most weeks bar this week.

Tully doing great too.

I loved Tilly this week. Most people don't get the cha cha leg action at all and she nailed it. Has she had dance training? She looks to me like she's not a complete novice. Their dance was so characterful and inventive too. Hats off to Nikita. And to the make-up and hair team.
Also loved AJ. So dramatic!
And Rose and Giovanni were breathtaking. Fantastic acting as well as dancing. She is SO musical.
Rhys tried too hard, I agree with whichever judge said that. I admire him for bouncing back and coming out fighting though.
I didn't mind Adam. Why was it so bad? I thought for a non-dancer he had some rhythm and attack. It was a tough piece of music though, very slow and hard to inject drama.
Dan wasn't great but I agree with pp it's good to watch the completely novice dancers improving. He is so clearly working very hard and I have to applaud that. He's getting more confident too.
Didn't really like Sara's dance but again, I think she's a novice and she seems like a grafter and takes all the judges' criticisms on the chin. Aljaz is so sweet; he blamed himself for the bad comments and low scores. I'm glad people voted for them.
Tom is just DULL. I drifted off big time during his dance. Pity, because I like Amy.
Had to agree with Craig, Johannes' choreography was a bit repetitious. John danced it well though.
I really felt for Judi. I assume that was her dance for last week and they just had to slap a Halloween theme on it? For a non-dancer who's also had Covid I thought she did well. I've really warmed to Grazanio this year; he clearly adores and respects her and it's made him seem much more likeable. Craig was downright mean in his comments. He just didn't seem to like her.

@MyCatEatsPrawnCrackers

Of course! So why not just write that?!

Why write fab instead of fabulous? Why write any word in a shortened or colloquial way? MN is full of abbreviations. A discussion forum, especially on a fun thread, is made for casual language rather than formal English, perfect s&g etc., etc.

I look forward to seeing Rose and Giovanni more & more every week. Their connection is so wonderful & to echo a PP she has fantastic musicality

Why write fab instead of fabulous?

It is, at least, actually a shortening of the word.

I think I write fab fairly often. But 'tood doesn't even sound like the end of attitude!

Not that I want to continue the derail, esp. since the thread is almost full, but perhaps 'tood is VERY colloquial and a bit too niche as in limited to me and my mates in the 90s but it's from 'attitood' like in

So, you think Tom Mcfly, Sara and Dan are all fantastic...ok then

This is sensational!

I'm with you @Claymorekick - if any of those three get to the quarter or semi finals it'll be a miracle. Weakest 3 by quite some way.
