Thanks

Eine

(and thanks to Ellmau for last week)

I think it is this…with pearl embellishment.

Stefan's routine had far too much mucking abaat instead of dancing, as Len would have said.

Yeh Suki is one of my favourite characters.

Probably a good thing that he didn't have Dianne cartwheeling around again!

Chris Rugby or Chris La Voix?

I would have said Stefan more than Chris Rugby but La Voix had a shocking night and really should have been in the dance off.

Across the series to date the bottom two remaining would be Stefan and Chris Rugby but it is supposed to be on the night’s performances. It isn’t as if La Voix has been exceptional every other week, at best in the lower middle of the pack dance wise even though they are very entertaining when not dancing.

Exactly. It seemed spiteful. I'm not surprised at her but I am at Anton following suit, what was that about?

Ah, it’s not then, thank you. Well spotted.
Pearl embellishment like Shirley’s necklace and bracelet, or neck edging and cuffs, whichever it was.

Balvinder must be wondering what on earth she has to do 😐

Right for chris to go even if the lifts were great there

La Voix isn’t remotely entertaining. Unfunny big head.

La Voix was horrendous this week but has generally been better than Chris and Stefan so it's probably the time for Chris to go. Balvinder is OK but apart from the Charleston, which was great fun, she doesn't really do it for me. I think she sells a routine well because she's an actress so the character of the dance comes across well but I suspect that the judges see quite a few weaknesses in her dancing. With a better pro she would be making more progress and I truly felt for her in the DO as she looked devastated.
On another note, did anyone else think Anton looked really unwell this week?

Tried to see and am pretty sure they have the singers seated in low seating at the front of the band pit so it looks neat. As they are not opera singers, I doubt most singers would choose to sing sitting down and I’m almost sure that wasn’t the case in early seasons. Can’t prove that it has affected the standard of singing though 🤷‍♀️

I saw a clip, I think it was on the BBC site, Jason G just said he wanted an interesting place for a dance and decided a Trading Floor in the City would be good.

The men dancing together were fab, really strong, and showed where tango started.

Just read Vicky once got done for attacking a woman in a nightclub. No wonder she loves Cheryl Cole.

It’s the Professional Geordie connection - both from the North East I guess. But no, not an icon to me either.

I wondered if it was on purpose so Craig had to have the casting vote.

As for the singers - I like Natalie Paris - she was Jane Seymour in Six on the west end.

Stefan or La Voix to go next week for me

Edit: howling at autocorrect of La Voix to La avoid 😂

Leeanne from Little Mix. I guess they are all going solo now.

Me too. I don't understand the slagging off they get on here.

I think it was, which is a bad move for Strictly. This kind of stunt is an X Factor / BGT classic and not the direction SCD viewers enjoy, I don't think.

I like him too, he has a quick dry wit and seems to be genuinely enjoying himself to his own surprise.

Looking at her face last week when the judges were critiquing her charleston I thought one or two of them might be in for a clout.

Anyone else in awe of how Diane is cartwheeling whilst pregnant! Those 2 should not have been in the dance off it should have been La Voix and Stefan who missed an actual Performance last week! I do wonder how far they’re going to let Ellie get to ? I do think she will have a meltdown if she goes

It was clear to me last week she was trying not to cry rather than trying not to hit out.

😂 I know it is awful but that really made me laugh, she was always scrapping on Geordie shore she was really volatile,

I’m still concerned for Ellie, she can’t do this without a lot of support. Loving that she’s enjoying the dance , but another Latin will be much of the same.
