SPOILER-FREE THREAD

Agree 100%.
He seems a really genuine guy with no artifice.
I'm glad I started watching the results show a bit later as I usually fast forward the pro dances as in recent years they've all been so bleargh, but watched tonight because I'd read all your comments. I started proper ugly sobbing at the first note and am still snuffling now. Thank gawd I'm in on my own. Just perfect.

Tony was definitely holding his thigh/buttock yesterday after his dance. I woukdnt fancy doing an energetic jive on a strained muscle at his age...or any age

YESSSSS!!!

I'm loving this idea. And then afterwards Shirley goes "I agree with my fellow judges, I'd have chosen the spud gun too." Complete with simpering smile

*I like this idea. It's one way of upping the calibre of celebrities.

Daniel Day-Lewis: I know you have retired from acting but no-one can retire from Strictly. Please report to the PureGym in Barnet where a woman called Dianne Buswell is waiting to teach you a cha cha set in a beautiful laundrette. The alternative is death.

I could go for this.* 😂😂😂😂 and because it's the BBC and all of the budget is going on props, setting and CGI sheep. The pay will be peanuts if anything

In the middle of Fulham High Street, a tannoy crackles.

Daniel Craig. Daniel Craig. You will report immediately to Wayne's Gym next to Tottenham Court Road tube station, with jazz hands. Failure to comply will result in your immediate vaporisation and then you'll be sorry mate.

I went to the same school as Claudia.....what she's wearing is way nicer than our uniform was 😂

My daughter went to that school, many years after Claudia (although she did pop up at an event there once). Uniform was a nice dark red in those days, don’t know what it’s like now. 😀

Someone take the conga games to channel 5 pronto, it's a goer for sure!

I honestly don't know why the television companies don't consult "Nest O' Vipers Productions Ltd" when they are looking for new ideas, or for ways to spike up an old favourite.

Regarding weapons, I’m also thinking razor-edged bowler hats and canes with swords in, very Bond-style…

There’s just no way Katya would let him leave early for Football punditry or to just throw in the towel, she’s so fiercely competitive!
Did your see that role poly? she pushed Tony across the dance floor by sheer force!
Katya really is brilliant at getting the best out her partner, would love her to get someone good next season, she deserves to have a chance at winning!
Lovely exit from Tony you could see how popular he is amongst all the dancers.
Loved the pros dance and on here the Catherine Cookson imagined script! Too funny!

Catching up. Aw Tony. Right time to go but I really wanted to see what mad genius Katya would make him do at Blackpool. Think Ellie should have gone.

So how many dead relatives do we think are hiding in the rafters of the tower ballroom?

Next year I want Katya to get a madly competitive and competent dancer. The male equivalent of Alexandra Burke plus Danny Mac. Someone who she doesn't have to drag into the next round.

Reckon there's a whole graveyard up there

They changed it from the comfy dark red outfit to something "smarter" with a pleated skirt, semi-transparent blouse and blazer much to everyone's annoyance. Probably because the second hand sales on the old uniforms were so popular that most of the girls were in uniforms which had been through six previous owners and looked it.

Katya won with Joe McFadden, her first year I think. I’d like to see her do it again though.

If Strictly or Death gets the green light we could get her Hugh Jackman.

Katya gave it her all. Unless I missed it did she make any comment about Tony? I didn’t hear her say anything about Thierry time together after Tony said his bit ....I think she’s had enough of him as she is v competitive and he tried but just wasn’t up to it ..

@YesThisIsMe
DD was there on a bursary, those second hand uniform sales were a Godsend for me 😁

I'm an idiot should be a deathmatch imo

pretty sure Katya said a fair bit about Tony, although my mind has gone blank

Something about needing lots of tea and biscuit breaks

Yeah, she's earned someone good.

Ah yea that’s right she said about tea and biscuits doh! Am dozey tonight lol

What do the CGI sheep spend their money on?
