AJ matey - what went wrong? You do my nib in the talky bits but you are usually sublime to watch. Sad

Johannes had far more futrets down his breeks than John. I like to see a pro make their celeb shine. Johannes couldn’t have shone any brighter if he was holding sparklers in his mitts with a kateywheel between his admittedly very perky cheeks.

Tom’s vw should have broke my emotions out of the core of my inner beelzecow. It didnt. Love that song usually.

Rhys blew me away. Loved that. Bazinga.

Tilly. Sorry but meh.

Love Sara and Al but it didn’t quite hit. Nearly. Just not quite. Might be the frock.

Same with Dan. Minus the frock.

Rose? I’m usually scathing of the c-waft. But not today. I found it uplifting. Truly so. I broke at Anton.

I love that song. I loved the wee bbc advert with the little girl and I loved the children in need album thing with Suranne Jones. Lovely stuff. Deep down I’m the most dreadful sap.

Beautiful frock too.

On another note, her pearly jumper was lovely. I had a jumper very similar. The washing machine ate all but bloody one nobble of pearls. (Yes i was a plug for putting it in there in the first place)

I’ll forgive the bare feet. Just this once.

Elderflower14 · 13/11/2021 21:25

Evening all. Late here as we had a family dinner.
Oh my golly gosh Rose's dance... I had been warned it would make me emotional but I absolutely sobbed all the way through her dance. Particularly the silent part.
As the mother of a deaf young man I am so so proud of Rose and all she is achieving.
Wilfs deafness was missed at birth and he wasnt diagnosed till he was 2 and a quarter.. He took to sign language straight away and he is a proud user of BSL and Makaton. He is always promoting it on FB and wherever he goes. I actually stopped while shopping in Tesco on Wednesday and propped my phone up against a box so we could have a chat. I'm nowhere near as good at signing as he is but I get by and we understand each other. He learnt total communication so he can communicate with deaf oral and deaf signing people. When he was learning to speak we had fun and games. When he tried to say Mother it came out as Bugger!! We had many instances of him galloping round shops looking for me and yelling "Bugger, Bugger!" with gay abandon and other shoppers glaring at me... Wilf is proud to be part of the deaf community and I'm very proud to be his Mumma... 💙 ♥

@FuzzyPuffling Katya danced in a same sex partnership on Strictly

DipItAgain · 13/11/2021 21:28

Rose & Gio. Just wow. Truly joyous.

If I’d have been blessed with a child as a-ma-ZING as your Wilf, I’d have been as proud a ‘bugger’ as you. 💗 ☺️

FitYeDaeinYeMadRadge · 13/11/2021 21:29

My bottom two this week are Dan and Sara. Or maybe Tom.

Sorry Sara. Even a totally gorgeous brooding Aljaz didn’t bring a vote from me and that is saying A. Lot.

whitehorsesdonotlie · 13/11/2021 21:30

Making was mass tonight. AJ's dance has no pain features - no shaping, no twirly hands, no cape swirling - but that's not her fault, it's Kai's! Wtf?

I like Rose and Giovanni but want blown away by their dance - all the judges clearly felt they had to give them 9/10 but I dunno, it felt a bit forced

Sara - totally underwhelmed. Alijah was pulling her around. Too precise, terrible dress, not enough connection.

Tom and Dan - unforgettable.

Rhys - bloody brilliant and memorable.

MareofBeasttown · 13/11/2021 21:36

I feel like a callous bitch for not liking Rose and Gio's CC. Found it rather syrupy. I get the message, but I still didn't like the dance. Must admit I am prejudiced against nearly all CC's though, esp the barefoot wafty ones.

Thank you ❤️ ❤️

I've got a feeling they have deliberately left the Charleston until quite late for Rhys, because he has a natural gift for that style of dance. I think they've forced him to hide his light under a bushel to some extent. It will be interesting to see where he goes from here.

Alcemeg · 13/11/2021 21:42

Re the same-sex partnerships, I think the point of them being gay is that it normalises gay couples in a way that hasn't been done before. The dances are traditionally based on a male/female dynamic so it's been interesting to see how the moves can be reinterpreted in a yang/yang or yin/yin way.

Faevern · 13/11/2021 21:48

I’ve just caught up with the programme before reading the thread. I never enjoy cc but I’m crying my eyes out when they turned the music off, Rose just floated through that dance 😭

GoodnightGrandma · 13/11/2021 21:50

Gio said ‘I love you’ to Rose at the end.

Alcemeg · 13/11/2021 21:51

@GoodnightGrandma

Gio said ‘I love you’ to Rose at the end.
He does genuinely seem astonished by her.
RainbowWilf996 · 13/11/2021 21:55

I would like to say that I did really proud of Rose her dancing is amazing! And the lady who does the deaf theatre group that is one of my good friends Paula for her theatre deafinitely she is one of my friends too!

TurquoiseBaubles · 13/11/2021 21:57

I've just caught up - the marking was even more weird than usual tonight.

I think at this stage it might be kinder to lose Dan or Sara (much as I like her) as both should have party latins next week and might, erm, struggle.

Tilly is growing on me whereas I'm always surprised by Tom's appearance as I never remember he exists, I'm not sure why.

TurquoiseBaubles · 13/11/2021 21:59

I think the difficulty with the same sex partnerships is the fact that you aren't really watching a couple, it's more like two parallel dancers, which makes the dance less interesting, imo.

Also Johannes is far better than John which emphasises that although John is pretty good, he's far from being excellent.

RaisinFlapjack · 13/11/2021 22:01

I was completely Team J&J at the start, then blown away by AJ. But Rose and Gio have won me over - they’re such a lovely partnership. If it’s not those three in the final I will be most disappointed!

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 13/11/2021 22:03

Hi @RainbowWilf996 🌈 👋🏼

Rose danced beautifully tonight ☺️

Hope you enjoyed seeing your friend Paula too! 🙂

Elderflower14 · 13/11/2021 22:04

I would lay good money that when (NOT if!!) Rose gets to the final she will dance her CC again! ♥ ♥

JayAlfredPrufrock · 13/11/2021 22:06

Johannes always out dances his partner. He can’t help it.

Faevern · 13/11/2021 22:06

Johannes got carried away with his arse tonight and made John look stiff.

EvilRingahBitch · 13/11/2021 22:07

This is the week when we discover whether the GBP are voting for AJ.
We know that Dan gets a bunch of votes (although the GBP tend to decide very suddenly that they're bored with contestants of his type some time around Blackpool) . We know Tom and Sara get at least some votes. We know Tilly and Rhys don't have much public vote.
But we have no idea about AJ. She could have got literally zero votes so far in this competition. Fingers crossed.

JayAlfredPrufrock · 13/11/2021 22:12

I’ve not voted before tonight.
