The poppy police, @AboutYouTalk . Fountain pens pre-filled with green ink, poised over a piece of headed paper, ready to dob non-poppy wearers to the Mail. “Why oh why oh why doesn’t everyone wear a poppy in poppy season?”

'Are you a leftie?' Stick a northerner in a vest and braces and Craig just makes assumptions.

I thought Craig was asking about Layton’s dominant hand or leg? But I wasn’t listening very closely.

Voted for Annabel, Angela and Ellie. Ellie is probably safe so didn't need my vote. I did like Angela saying she was too Celtic for the samba. It made me laugh

The poppy sellers in the shops were loudly disparaging anyone who wasn't wearing one today.

Maybe they think it's good for business?

I was in gym kit and a rain jacket and in no hurry to make holes in either.

I'll wear one all this week coming and we're going to a service on Sunday but flipping heck I dislike poppy fascism.

Voted for Krishnan as I would rather lose Angela R, Bobby or Adam over him.

Ellie was my dark horse going in to competition.and loved it tonight - only wish she had that song and dance for Blackpool - hope she doesn't get Rumba for Blackpool as I think that's a hard dance anyway without the huge Blackpool floor

The leftie comment was about dominant hand/leg, not a political comment. Craig was referring to the strength of Layton’s turns in one direction.
Poppy wearing gives me irrational rage though, especially when it’s a corporate ‘thing’.

I think they might give her an Argentine tango?

Thanks for the thread - placemmarking for tomorrow.

😂

I loved Ellie and Vito. That's exactly what I want from an American Smooth. A big
'Old Hollywood' number with a nice frock and a smart suit and appropriate music and stage setting. Loved Vito's tails.

I gave all 3 votes to Angela S. I loved Ain't it Funny as a teenager when it came out and they honoured the music video a bit with the dance. Odd choice for a Samba but I want her to get to Blackpool.

Annabel's dance made me cry. I don't normally get like that for the 'Dead Relative' CC dances but I'm full of pregnancy hormones and it got me.

Same.

I love all of them now. They should just keep them all in the competition from now until the final. Fuck it, why not?

Annabel and Johannes 😭😭😭😭 Kai was crying too when they were interviewed by Claudia.

Layton is clearly a profesh dancer but that arial cartwheel thing was clearly amazing.

Dancing on my own is the weirdest wedding song in the world. I didn’t hate the dance though, and he seems a cheerful fella. But honestly, ‘I’m not the guy you’re taking home’???? As a wedding song???

Loved Ellie and Layton, thought Angela R was boring as hell and Krishnan's CC was horrendous but hope he stays in. Tough to call this week as quite liked serious Adam as well!

Just caught up….

Nikita and Layton….it’s all getting a bit too sexualised and predictable now. I’m quite disappointed in the approach Nikita is taking, not that I know what either of their sexualities are, but it’s all getting a bit too centred around sex as opposed to dancing. I was also confused about Craig’s question as to whether Leyton was a “Leftie or a Rightie” and I did think it was in relation to what is his dominant hand, but then Leyton’s response wasn’t fitting with that as he said, “It depends on the night.” 🤷‍♀️ It was strange.

Kai and Angela - it was nice in a simple way but I’m glad she was getting some critiques this week…..much to her dislike.

Nigel and Katya - Katya looked absolutely beautiful but I was quite disappointed by Nigel. I was hoping to find him more dominating and ‘present’ than he was.

Angela S and Carlos - just no. She didn’t look comfortable or natural at all.

Annabelle and JoJo - I really liked it and the VT did leave me with tears in my eyes. JoJo comes across as an absolute angel.

Ellie and Vito - brilliant! Absolutely loved it.

Krishnen and Lauren - Not to my taste. It was a just a bit silly and skill-less.

Adam and Luba - I did really like it but he didn’t look well at all.

Bobby and Dianne - I don’t really know what to make of it to be honest. He just can’t pull off the sexy vibe. And I was quite shocked to see how hands-on with Dianne he got….seeing his flat palm rub down over her breasts and abdomen was quite unexpected!

Apologies if I’ve forgotten anyone else!

I think Angela S and Angela R are most at risk tonight.

Maybe Adam and his wife just liked the melody of their wedding song and didn't read the lyrics etc? It is a nice tune.

Thought he was asking which side he dressed 😳

'Krishnan and Lauren - Not to my taste. It was a just a bit silly and skill-less.'

Well, that's Couples Choice, isn't it? 😁 it's usually nonsense and the judges don't have a clue how to score it, but Krishna's routine tonight really was just any old shite 😂 I do love him though

'Maybe Adam and his wife just liked the melody of their wedding song and didn't read the lyrics etc?

Well that's still just weird

voted Nigel, Krishna and Annabelle
not an Annabelle fan, but don’t want her in the dance off this week.
Bobby’s dance was ok, but didn’t believe it. Angela R was dull

I'm hoping this is the end for Angela R.

@TheShellBeach

I think it'll be Ang vs Ang

Voted for Adam. Hope Angela R goes, she's getting boring now.

Loved Ellie and Vito’s beautiful American smooth, the music was perfect!
I just love Kai watching him dance was like watching a film about a WW2 soldier home on leave! he’s got an old fashioned handsome movie star look but agree with the choice of slower dances they want Angela R in till Blackpool.

I liked Annabel and Johannes had a wee tear for what she’s been through.
Angela Scanlon is just naturally funny” I’m too Celtic for a samba!”and then talked about dragging her knuckles after the long arms comment from Anton.
To me Adam didn't look well at all and he might be the one in danger.

Placemarking - Ellie all the way for me from now on. I ADORE Vito

I think it’ll be Adam vs. Angela R. in the dance-off.

Luba did most of the work during the rumba and Adam looked too stiff.

Kai is being so careful to ensue that Angela R. doesn’t get injured that their dances are getting boring, imo. It’s a shame that she didn’t compete in an earlier series really, she’d have probably gone all out.

I like it when Angela S gets to the Clauditorium too. It's part of the entertainment value of wanting to keep her in as well as enjoying her dancing.

I do feel her scoring has been under the typical standard most weeks for the quality of her dancing compared to some other contestants.

The tone of feedback was generally more consistent this week. Anton was in a sensible and very constructive mood rarger than channeling Bruno. I generally like the technical side of his feedback though and usually does a good balance.
