Voted for Shayne and Chris

Public vote is 11 for the most votes and 1 for the least votes.
Add the scores together to get the total.

So if Jamie gets the most votes, he has a maximum of 22 points.

The public vote will rank each contestent in order with the most popular getting 11 and the least popular getting 1.

So Chris could get 7 + 11 = 18 and Tash could get 10 + 1 = 11.

I think.

I think Sarah is incredible. She is a lot older than some of the others. It is very hard to be that energetic and flexible and strong in your 50s. Just look at Paul, he was a professional sportsman and a similar age to Sarah.
Yes she went to a theatre school but I don’t care. Jamie is a trained actor, so should be amazing at performing in character.
It doesn’t bother me at all.

Late to the parade tonight.

Shayne's dance was the best and most creative of the night. He is beautiful to watch and for me stole the show.
Craig got the essence of the dance and how good Shayne was- the other three judges did not., but to be honest, I think the other three are swayed by who they personally like as opposed to how good they are and have already decided who they want in the final and are going hell for leather to keep them in iykwim - the continued over fawning on Jamie and Tasha for example. All three judges (except Craig) could not fault the actual dance or dancer, so marked Shayne down because they decided he took too long with the 'wandography' 👀- talk about grabbing at straws.
I do not get the dislike of Shayne - he comes across as a lovely, gentle guy. He was undermarked and was as good if not better than Jamie.

Placemarking. Just got back from a cinema trip so missed the whole thing! Will try to catch up in the morning so I’ve got some kinda clue before tomorrow’s show!

Voted for Montell, Jamie and Pete here. I overthought it, then gave my head a wobble and went with my gut.

Rewatched Tasha and Aljaz. Aljaz is loving it back on Strictly - looks so happy!

🎃

I thought Shayne didn't actually do much dancing in that routine and Craig was at pains to say how good it was - I think he's in danger when he's really very good.

Just watched - I loved Tasha having been meh previously, not sure why it was so disliked

Liked Shayne but think he’s in danger

Vito is just fab-u-lous

I think that AT choreo was awful. So many legs splayed wide moments. Very ungainly.

Hi all, well that wasn't a bad show overall. Wayward marking again but I suppose we should be used to that. Can see Punam and Wynne in the Dance Off. I really liked Pete, Sarah and Shane, although DH did ask when he was actually going to start.

Voted Jamie, Sarah and Montell.

I really enjoyed this evening. Watched it with friends. Just got back.

It’s difficult to call. I think that Punam, Chris, Wynne and Sam are as good as they’re going to get (but I like them all). Loved Shayne, Pete, Jamie, Sarah.

The celebs I wasn’t keen on (Nick and Paul) have gone so there is no one I want to be ousted.

I voted Pete (for the first time, haven't liked him before), Punam and Wynne. Would've voted Shayne if I hadn't been watching behind. I have no favourites yet.

She was definitely Winnie Sanderson!

Waltzing in at What Time Do You Call This? What did I miss? The last thread was pockmarked with deletions!

Watching tomorrow

Ah, I just went back and looked - they appear to have deleted comments made all from one poster only (maybe PBP or one who commented on Punam in previous weeks?). They were casting aspersions on Chris (and how much he could see) and insinuating that Craig/Anton were fetishists/autogynephiles for dressing up as the twins from The Shining.

I didn't report any of their posts but assume others thought they were nefarious.

Hope you enjoy it Reise - I usually like Halloween and think most thought tonight was decent but I was disappointed by the songs and theming.
We had some weird choices.
They never appear to do cats for Halloween despite many looking good in catsuits - I'm thinking Janet Jackson (black cat) the Cure (lovecats).
Similarly, they always want one of the following costume choices: werewolves/ghosts/vampires/devils/Frankenstein's monsters/zombies but have missed out on so many tracks that are more fitting.
Scarecrows have been done before (Jeepers creepers) but I never find them scary - someone said JB wouldn't want to go all-out as a Christian.
I appreciate even with very tired numbers (Adams family/Time warp) that they went for different characters so as not to repeat what others have done but maybe it's time they retired it.

Wasn't she Helena Bonham Carter's Queen of Hearts??

No, she was Winnie, she also had book and made clear references to him.

Oh right, haven't seen that film but she did also look just like HBC a la Tim Burton and I thought the silly posh voice she kept doing was her being a 'queen'.

Maybe they need labels!

Just googled - she did do the teeth thing at one point so I can see it now.

You need to add Sarah as Cupid Stunt on the bed 😂..."It's all in the best possible taste!"

Vito though 😍. Like a tall Paul Rudd.
