Yes! It's Musicals Week!

Will we also see an Egregious Elimination?

Yes of course Pete knows he is popular, he can read! He can read what his fans write, it’s not difficult to see.
I have sometimes voted for the professional if I’m not enamoured with any particular celebrity. I only use my 3 free votes though. I wouldn’t spend money on voting. Same with any similar show. Saying that I don’t think I’ve ever voted in any other reality show. Oh apart from a celebrity BB but that was years and years ago.

I wish they would just get rid of the rumba. Most of the celebs are bad at it, and it's usually dull. There's a reason it's the only dance to never have scored a 40.

I agree unless you're a professional it's a dull dance to watch.

I don’t find the heavily tattooed look very attractive.

I find neck tattoos repulsive. Add to that his greasy looking hair and it's just yuk for me.

I'm sure you're all aware of my love for Kai & AJ 😆
I will never get over them not being in the final.
AJ smashed it from Week 1 with her jive to Gold Dust - absolutely banging!
Loved her Charleston and her CC is my fave CC ever.
Very under marked, I think we had a guest judge, can't remember her name Cynthia something <shakes fist menacingly!>
Plus that was the series we set eyes on the lovely lovely Kai 😍

Agree with all of this.
AJ was sensational, those legs!
And yes Kai, I'm amazed he hasn't been given a celebrity this season

There are years when Strictly holds no appeal and this is one of those years for me.
Unfair Ringer - tick
Random social media person voted beyond comprehension- tick
Boy band member - tick

Without a Hamza to invest in, it’s just dull and irritating.

Chris to be fair is inspirational - have to keep reminding myself he can’t see the visual cues of his dance partner, he’s done incredibly well.

Pumpkincozynights · 01/12/2024 20:20

I think Pete is good looking, beautiful eyes and dark hair. Dh thinks he is a dog 🙁

Nikitaspearlearring · 01/12/2024 20:20

I'm not sporty, have no interest in sport and feel zero connection to sportspeople usually, but I really liked Montell. She seems lovely and I really admire her muscular arms! I thought that rumba was genuinely emotional. I'm so sorry she's gone. I like Pete but he shouldn't be there. He should've done the decent thing and resigned, like John thingy did back a few years ago - the journalist? When he knew he'd stayed beyond his ability. I really don't think Pete's heart is in this.

As much as I think Pete should have gone by now I don't think he should resign. He's there because the public wants him there, it would be an insult to quit.

I think a lot of people will be voting for Sarah because of Vito. I sometimes vote because I like the professional more than the celebrity but this series I only voted for the first time yesterday as felt sorry for Montell.

Vito is VERY popular on Twitter!

Personally I don't get the hostility for Sara on here. She may have had some dance training in her youth, but she's in her FIFTIES! Why is there not more support for a woman of that age absolutely smashing it?

How many women of that age do we see on TV? ( not many)
And looking fabulous, sexy, athletic, paired with a younger guy and able to keep up with.him?

I think we should be celebrating her, not knocking her down. I'd be v happy if she won.

They mean sour grapes

I don't re-watch dances very often but sometimes I'll watch that jive again. Bleddy amazing for week 1.

I think it was the opening dance for the whole series.
She was amazing.
The very essence of what Strictly should be - a total amateur who was so up for everything, and having an absolute blast doing it, they looked like they were having a laugh during every VT.
And there was definitely chemistry between AJ and Kai 💕
Her mum was cute too, hilariously AJ dedicated that smokin' hot CC to her
😆🤣

The whole look is generally grubby, although in real life I'm sure he's very clean. I'd never heard of him before, but he's obviously hugely popular.

I would agree! I think they're a really great couple.

Resigning would be a dreadful thing to do to your dance partner - to throw all of her effort away - not to mention very disrespectful.

Is it just me, but how boring was that Hamilton number?

Samcro · 01/12/2024 20:24

?? Some people are obviously block voting for him. I have read that some of the TOWIE people are asking their friends/family/followers to vote, vote, vote for Pete.

I would hope that they are at least watching him but quite possibly they are not which is ridiculous and makes a bit of a mockery of the show.

Motsi to Montell and Jojo: this musical that you chose

So, the music/song is the choice of the couple? Is that usual?

Presumably the celebrity doesn’t normally have a say in the song because the professional often tells them what it is in Sunday’s Clauditorium.

I'm sure they must ask them their preferences for songs etc in advance. But the 'surprise' is when it's confirmed.

Hi Pete👋😆

Only joking but what makes you like him? He can’t dance?

lol 😂 🤣I’m defo not Pete!

by looks of it I’m far from alone in liking him…

each to their own

mydogisthebest · 01/12/2024 20:33

I love Sarah and Vito and really want them to win but it seems either Chris or Pete will.

JB is my second choice to win

Samcro · 01/12/2024 20:34

I don’t think Pete will win.
think it will be chris

Yeah, I’m not sure I believe the “block voting” thing tbh. I can see Pete’s appeal although I didn’t vote for him. I believe that many viewers may be chucking him two or three of their three votes, which is fine. I wasn’t surprised to see Tasha in the DO tbh because I think that many viewers find her insipid and lacking in chemistry with her partner, and others find her presence in SCD unfair. Montell has been unpopular for a few weeks and had a famously hard dance, so again it wasn’t a surprise to see her in the DO. I wasn’t shocked by the events of this evening at all and I don’t sense any voting skullduggery although if there’s evidence to the contrary that is picked up by the team that verifies the vote, fair enough.

Hatey · 01/12/2024 20:35

Hamilton is the best musical I have ever seen. That song is great in the musical! Introduces the sisters.
Can’t believe is semi final next week. Blink and Christmas is here.
