Really enjoyed last night's show. Loved a lot of the music, which helps, and most couples are improving, so the dances were generally better. Some of the scores were odd though. I think Sarah may go. She never seems to give it enough welly, it's all a bit lack lustre.

I think if she had worn a different outfit it would have showed her dance far better. People watch the whole thing. If the music does not match the dance ( this arguably did not ), the outfit does not fit the mood of the music then the dancer is on the back foot ( excuse the expression) before they even begin.
The choreography too matters a lot. A professional who is excellent at it will get their partner further along. One that is not creative will end up in the dance off early.

Jamie is very good and I bet that Lacey finds her inner Stacey and does one dance that gets the tens ! She has to believe in herself. I thought that was good , but the judges were not keen at all. Didn’t sound too impressed, but maybe because they know she can get over the nerves and be really good ?
Or maybe finding it all just too tricky ?

Monty36 · 18/10/2026 11:04

I think one or two dancers are wary of the Strictly curse. And keep their dancers at arms length a bit. But to the detriment of their dances.

the80sweregreat · 18/10/2026 11:07

I get the impression that Lacey isn’t keen on Vito really. She looked a bit fed up with the joking around.
He is lovely, but maybe not for her!

I was thinking last night that Nikita is very touchy-feely with Dani!

Absolutely! The average voter at home doesn’t know what to look for technically. Especially with the camera angles they use. But they do know about nice outfits, good music and the whole thing coming together in a Saturday night escapism type way.

Lacey looks bored to death

Finding most people a bit meh.

Controversially, I wish there were more ringers this year. You realise how much they raise the standard.

She’s not been keen since the initial pairing.

the80sweregreat · 18/10/2026 14:49

I don’t like Delta’s personality that much, but she is a good dancer.
Graham disappointed me yesterday , but doggy people are probs voting for him.
Lacey does look bored by it all. Maybe dance isn’t her thing really. She isn’t bad though

I was thinking Josh keeps touching the contestants!

in the name of comedy 🎭

B9waiting · 18/10/2026 15:41

I feel the same about Delta @the80sweregreat & it’s how I felt about Alexandra Burke back in the day. No idea why as I’m sure they’re perfectly lovely women but not my cup of tea at all.

the80sweregreat · 18/10/2026 15:49

Delta was on the voice last night and showed a lot more personality , but maybe because it was singing ?
She is one I would avoid though , we’d never get on at all !

Felt sorry for Sarah. They put her in a mumsy old fashioned outfit for a Shania Twain song.
Shania invariably wears very short skirts or shorts. The outfit was completely wrong.

Yeah she's gone tonight I think

JaneFondue · 18/10/2026 15:54

Delta may be the only one I like! Just shows how different we all are.
I think I have aged out of the " journey' contestants.

the80sweregreat · 18/10/2026 15:57

Jamie is funny , but maybe a bit too feisty at times.
I loved her Bowie routine. She is ‘one to watch ‘

JaneFondue · 18/10/2026 16:00

Oh, I also like Tabby. I expect she may win. The men are not great this year.

the80sweregreat · 18/10/2026 16:03

Tabby seems so lovely and smiley and enjoying it all.
Her partner seems nice too.
She is good , but not that well known ( I didn’t watch industry )

Tabby was not on Industry.
She's an Olympic athlete.
Were you thinking of My'hala?

She is an Olympian

apparently on gladiators now

the80sweregreat · 18/10/2026 16:07

Oh sorry! I thought she was the actress one.

the80sweregreat · 18/10/2026 16:08

Yep, thinking of the wrong lady.
Tabby is good though , she seems to be loving it unlike Lacey.

Tinydanceer · 18/10/2026 16:09

the80sweregreat · 18/10/2026 16:07

Who did you think she was?

Tinydanceer · 18/10/2026 16:13

Can anyone tell me who Will’s icon was?

he dances in like the baseball get up

the80sweregreat · 18/10/2026 16:13

Sorry , should have looked up the contestants first , I thought Tabby was an actress !
my bad. I do like her a lot , she is one of the better ones in it
