I quite like Carlos as a benched pro.

Allegedly he and Nancy used to be BFFs and have now had a massive Falling Out.

OoooOoooh! 😮

Yup, he wasn't happy about being benched apparently.

Id Watch a whole episode of Chris and Diane’s training footage, I’d love to know what their process is, as she’s working miracles with him. I’ve noticed he counts steps and I’ve caught glimpses of her giving him instructions during the dance.

God love her, the disappointment at not being able to dance and having to watch on from the side lines must be crushing.

I think it's always going to be awkward if/when the sleb does better, and it's happened before on Strictly, but it's easier for a thrupple when the injured pro at least did the choreo (e.g. DWTS Shana Burgess/James Hinchcliffe/Jenna Johnson). Last night's was Couples' Choice so outside choreographers (was it Tommy and Lizzy? Looked like one of theirs).
Add to that Amy's anxiety over losing her place permanently when she was so ill and it's bound to be a body blow. I hope she'll rest rather than force herself back too quickly just because they did well and she fears being benched in the future. I liked the routine but it wasn't 10s for me.
All couples choices should be done in the same week imo.
As others have said, they are usually overmarked and the narratives behind the contempowafts often make it very hard to judge objectively.

As for the benching itself of uninjured pros, I hate it. I'd rather they had a set troupe and you were taken on as a troupe member/a permanent pro for all Xmas/charity specials and got "promoted" to the main cast when there was a natural gap/a pro moved on by choice. Not being announced as a new Strictly pro but then seeing new signings or being picked up/dropped/benched randomly. #justiceforChloe/Cameron

Or if you have surplus pros every time then they ought to draw lots on the benching. I'm really not sure I believe pairing is down to the chemistry tests/heights and they can't share out the sitting out. Or you win the Glitterball and leave! Grin Joanne, Aliona, Camilla you were pioneers!! Wink

Edited

Love the idea of a couples choice week although I'm sure many would strongly disagree! Should be left until we're down to say six couples or similar smaller numbers perhaps.

Me too. I saw a clip of Anton talking about him saying how he thinks he the most incredible dancer achieving what he has done.

Nearly time!

AutumnCrow · 03/11/2024 19:19

Tuning in.

GrouchyKiwi · 03/11/2024 19:19

Hello! I've not accidentally seen the spoiler this week, so that's exciting.

I hate that the pro dance isn't at the beginning any more.

Elderflower14 · 03/11/2024 19:20

Just had to endure the snakes on BBC1 before SCD... 😢 😢

Purplewarrior · 03/11/2024 19:21

Oh Tess! She looked so lovely yesterday/earlier and this pink outfit is so trashy.

I hope Chris and Pete survive.

Wolfcub · 03/11/2024 19:21

Evening all

EsmaCannonball · 03/11/2024 19:22

Craig looks so Smashy 'n' Nicey.

Lentilweaver · 03/11/2024 19:24

I am at the Robin Windsor tribute and its so much nicer seeing proper dance with no costumes to proper music!
Anton is here and made.a joke about having to rush bk for the results.😀

You will have to do a long post telling us what it was like.

Wolfcub · 03/11/2024 19:26

Much prefer Pete's reaction to Shayne's

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 03/11/2024 19:26

Hello! I've had a busy weekend and was at a bonfire last night, I completely forgot Strictly was on.

Thank you for the new thread. Flowers

Haven't completely caught up, but thought I'd watch the results in real time.

GrouchyKiwi · 03/11/2024 19:26

Oh. Am surprised about Pete. I didn't think he'd have the following. Shows what I know!

Elderflower14 · 03/11/2024 19:26

Both my faves are through. Pete and Shayne... 💙 💙

GrouchyKiwi · 03/11/2024 19:27

Sam! I don't know who I want in the d/o with her to keep her.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 03/11/2024 19:27

I wonder why neither of the Liverpudlians did the Beatles instead of Shayne
