My favourites are safe in the top half of the leaderboard, apart from Sam, so I've voted Sam, Tom amd Jamie.

Can't believe no ones supporting Toyah. Esp with only 6 women this series and 9 bloody men.

I voted for two of the women (Sarah and Punam) and one of the men (Chris). She missed out because she's really very poor and much as I liked her back in the day she's not doing it for me at all. I'd rather see Paul go than her but I'd also rather see Punam safe than her.

AnneShirleysNewDress · 28/09/2024 20:34

Punam, Montell and Sarah for me.

I voted Chris, Punam and Wynne.

Felt sorry for Punam . They were really nice about her and then gave her shit scores.

I8toys · 28/09/2024 20:37

I voted for Punam, Pete and Wynne. I know my other favs will be safe

petalpower · 28/09/2024 20:38

I’ve voted Chris, Shayne and Tom.

Aquarius1234 · 28/09/2024 20:39

I'd be cool with an all female series.

Runningupthecurtains · 28/09/2024 20:42

I voted Chris, because it filled my cynical old heart with joy watching his dance, Punam, because she could be in danger (low score, awful slot, not very well known) and I don't want to go this soon and Nick, (that surprised me as I'm not a fan) but I think he did well considering the circumstances

LemonYellowCrocs · 28/09/2024 20:42

Gorka because I thought she was quite good but forgot about her so think others might too.
Jamie and Michelle I quite liked
And Vito
Is my vote

Appalonia · 28/09/2024 20:31

Wow that's quite an imbalance! Is that because they've lost so many male professional dancers?

They've benched Kai and Carlos so it must be that it was harder to get female celebs this year.
I voted for Punam too, as although she wasn't as good as some, she had a bad slot and wasn't as bad as Toyah or Paul.
I have a bit of a girl crush on the new professional Michelle and the Love Island girl. They are both beautiful and beautiful to watch.

Itsnotallalark · 28/09/2024 20:53

Voted for Gorka and partner because she she so obviously loving it, Pete Wicks and Chris and Dianne. A lovely bunch of celebs this season.

the80sweregreat · 28/09/2024 20:56

I liked Pete this week
He is an intriguing one

Punam isn't a performer, so I gave her a vote. She's well out of her comfort zone. A vote for Chris because of that amazing jump onto the bench arm at the end - that was brave!
Love Sarah.

EsmaCannonball · 28/09/2024 21:01

Full on Spirit Guide DeadNan in Week 2! Brazen! Montell, see if you can get her to poltergeist whoever it is choosing the godawful ballroom songs. Go Blair Witch on that motherfucker!

Talking of all things ghostly, take the dwarf from Don't Look Now, give it some amphetamines, backcomb its hair and stick it in some cowboy boots, and well .....

Can't believe we've missed the opportunity for a segment where Carlos forms a throuple with Toyah and Robert Fripp and is let loose in her wardrobe.

Those costumes and that wind machine made it look like Jamie and Michelle had just Duluxed their living room and were giving it a good airing. Get both windows open, Michelle. We need to get a good cross-breeze going.

Shirley's five years in Texas. San Antonio Maximum Security Women's Prison. You heard it here first.

Snuggle bunny Gorka in that kilt. Snuggle bunny Gorka in those trousers. Snuggle bunny Vito in that top.

That has to be the most inexplicable and bewilderingly bad song choice ever ..... PARKLIFE!

Poor Vito having to keep that fixed grin on his face as he pretended to recognise various second-tier stars of noughties British sitcoms.

Last year Karen couldn't give a shit in a bad way. This year she couldn't give a shit in a good way.

My dance of the night was Wynne's VW. Just a shining example of how perfect music and beautiful costumes and staging makes all the difference.

Do not like the way the couples no longer come down the stairs to the Strictly theme at the beginning. It's the show's identity, FFS!

Not keen on the new interview format in the Clauditorium. It was better when it was all spontaneous and chaotic. Now everyone feels lined up in their places and waiting for their cues. Kills the mood.

The little skits with Tess and the celebs and the judges also do not work because ...... well, Tess.

Not sure the main show is the right forum to discuss people being knobs on social media. Shayne is one of my guilty favourites but if people already think he's a bit too serious then that was a bit too serious.

the80sweregreat · 28/09/2024 21:03

Surely all celebs and famous ones must have trolls ? It goes with the territory ( sadly )
Can't be nice.

It does seem a bit of a stupid thing to do to not only read all the trolly comments ( whatever they were) but also to bring it up on the show! Made him sound extra whiny. And then to bring his kids out already, hes got nowhere to go!

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 28/09/2024 21:08

It's hard to vote this early on I think. I went for Sam, Montell and Punam.

I think (at risk of making it even longer!) they should have shown clips of both dances for each celeb at the end. I definitely voted more for Montell on last week's dance than this.

I was tempted to vote for Paul actually. They're trying so hard to make him into a comedy contestant, but I think he's actually trying hard to do well despite the music and costumes they're lumbering him with.

Why are they so harsh on Toyah?

ladyditaverner · 28/09/2024 21:20

We voted Amy and JB (I thought he was great) Nikita and Sam as they were undermarked, and Jamie and Nancy because I read the post from his family friend before and thought it rang very true (also he was a lovely dancer.)

Runningupthecurtains · 28/09/2024 21:23

CountFucula · 28/09/2024 21:14

Why are they so harsh on Toyah?

Because she really not very good and the expectation is that a singer a) can perform B) will have a modicum of musicality.

How do they decide which pro’s are benched? Kai and Carlos I really liked…
