'All sizzle and no sausage.' My daily letters of complaint to Vicky Gill about the fit of Vito's trousers have obviously had an effect.

I thought it would be impossible to fancy him any more but Vito looking like he's been hanging out with Byron and Shelley at the Villa Diodati has had me doing that 'half your age plus 7 calculation' and, the good news is, I am almost not a perve.

Tickled by Pete's make-up being more Billy Smart than Joaquin Phoenix but I actually, for once, enjoyed his routine.

Punam as the woman from Haysi Fantayzee
Gorka as Inigo Montoya
Kai as a bassist from a mid-eighties goth-indie band
JB and Amy as Dexy's Midnight Runner ..... Beans
Carlos as Beth Rigby

Scrub off that green paint and Aljaz could have been bidding for a lock-up on Storage Wars.

Edvard Grieg did not look like that. Katie Durham would have kicked off.

Shayne giving heartfelt speeches about finally getting to be himself while dressed like Mozart dunked in Homepride self-raising flour. ❤

Who's going to get the most inappropriate slash fanfic: Anton and Craig or Sam and Nikita?

Bless Sam but she is far too straight and earnest to pull off camp (or jokes).

No group dance opening routine and a lot of the dances felt as if they were over before they'd begun. (I am so sad that I actually tried timing a couple of them and they were about 15 seconds shorter than usual.) I'm not keen on these changes that are making the show seem too abrupt and like it's losing its identity. Is Dave Arch's band much smaller than it used to be, too?

Nooooo def not!!

I voted Punam and Sarah. I thought Anton and Craig were the twins from League of Gentlemen. Have only seen the end of the Shining though i do think men as little girls is creepy yhough. Presume Motsy was Cruella. Who was Shirley meant to be? Eliz 1 at a fancy dress party?

BehindTheSequinsandStilettos · 26/10/2024 20:39

Jamie 38 okay Sarah 38 messy
Tasha 37 awful
JB 32 dull
Montell 31 okay Pete 31 improved Sam 31 hot mess Shayne 31 quirky Wynne 31 messy
Chris 26 okay Punam 26 okay

It's difficult. I can forgive messy on occasion. I can forgive the sleb for awful (subjective) or dubious choreography...but I do struggle with boring (and I find Amy as twee as Dianne is saccharine).

Chris is top of the public vote I think so he'll be safe.
Then it comes down to whether JB gets a bottom two bounce, whether Nikita clad in leather helps him and Sam's vote (the timing was horrendous), whether Shayne is memorable and whether everyone thinks Tash is safe (although I hated that samba with a passion).

Disappointed to read how much dance experience Sarah has.

I think Shirley was the Queen from Alice in Wonderland?

Hocus Pocus witch - that Ellie played with Jojo for a couple's choice previously. Played by Bette Midler.

NigelHarmansNewWife · 26/10/2024 20:32

I voted for Pete, Sarah and Sam. There's something about Pete - I don't think he takes himself as seriously as I first thought. Some good dancers are in danger tonight.

I couldn't work him out for weeks, whether he was being very deadpan dry or that was the way he is. But he seems to have relaxed and been more natural the last couple of weeks so it probably was the former.

coffeeneeded · 26/10/2024 20:42

Eh? Shirley was obviously Winnie Sanderson from hocus Pocus. Bette midlers role
.

Ah ok. She reminded me of Helena Bonham Carter playing the Red Queen.

I wouldn't be surprised if Chris is topping the public vote.

Figgygal · 26/10/2024 20:46

That was the best halloween show for ages
I voted pete, Shane and Sam - thought they were great - dh thought she was the pro

Samcro · 26/10/2024 20:47

Voted Pete, Chris and Sam.
loved Jamie’s dance

xsquared · 26/10/2024 20:47

Jamie 38 11
Sarah 38 11
Tasha 37 10
JB 32 9
Montell 31 8
Pete 31 8
Sam 31 8
Shayne 31 8
Wynne 31 8
Chris 26 7
Punam 26 7

The bold are scores they get based on their position on the leaderboard.
Punam and Chris both have an extra 6 points then they would if everyone's scores were different.

No idea who will be in the dance off!

Disappointed to read how much dance experience Sarah has.

I just think they should have been upfront about her previous training/experience. I think they were with Layton.
I hope she does well but think it is unfair if she wins as the voting audience don't have all the facts to make their choice.

gingercat02 · 26/10/2024 20:48

Sam, Chris and Punam here. I quite enjoyed that overall ☺️

EsmaCannonball · 26/10/2024 20:50

I, too, thought Shirley was the Red Queen.

And Johannes was the Shake 'n' Vac woman, yes?

That's how the scoring works??? So there's only 4 points between top and bottom of the leaderboard instead of 10 points if there were no ties at all? Wow.

If that's right I predict a dance off between Punam and Shayne. Or possibly JB. Punam to go regardless.

There’s a difference between being a 50 something actress who did some musical theatre in her early career, and a 30 yo whose current career is as a professional dancer who performs during the interval at international dance competitions and also teaches dance workshops.

And I say that as someone who really liked Layton.

Sarah won’t win as she’s not on a journey.

xsquared · 26/10/2024 20:56

Actually Jamie and Tasha could hypothetically be in the dance off together if we reverse the points based on public votes! 😕
