Strictly Come Dancing 2019 Discussion Thread (Spoiler-Free Please)

[Vanessa]

Really nervous for tonight. I'm going to need a Chinese takeaway to keep calm. :shocked::joker:

[Vanessa]

Good luck to all the couples. Everyone has done well to get this far.
In case I lose my favourite, my votes go to Michelle. Because I like Giovanni and Michelle has been growing on me since that Halloween dance.

[Nicky91]

well TPTB just want Mike probably preserved for blackpool, and he's a BBC presenter so

1+1 = 2

a charleston now, followed by maybe a ''dad dancing couple choice streetdance'' and a departure at blackpool week with a ''dull ballroom''

i'm saying it now, see if i'm gonna be right :laugh:

[Strictly Jake]

Oh so suddenly Nicky is a major fan of Emma W again. I really haven't ever ever met anyone as confusing as you. It's so annoying. Either love her or hate her make your mind up

[Nicky91]

Oh so suddenly Nicky is a major fan of Emma W again. I really haven't ever ever met anyone as confusing as you. It's so annoying. Either love her or hate her make your mind up

''major fan'' is overreacting :idc: i am aware of Kelvin, Michelle, Saffron being better dancers who i also myself enjoy watching too

i just better stick with her until the end of her journey, i better stop with my gloryhunting mentality

outside strictly, i am a fan of hers yeah, she's such a loveable sweet person, ok she can come across a bit spoiled (unused to criticism) but honestly aren't we all, or at least i also have my negative bad bits :laugh:


so Jake sorry for the hate (i know she doesn't deserve any hate) i am sorry for this annoying behaviour of mine, even more than usual :bawling:

also good that you warmed to her yourself :hug: oh and btw maybe safari park being a nice day out for you, your wife, children :hee:

[Morgan.]

Oh so suddenly Nicky is a major fan of Emma W again. I really haven't ever ever met anyone as confusing as you. It's so annoying. Either love her or hate her make your mind up

I thought you had him on ignore

[Nicky91]

[Denver]

Michelle is Queen

[GiRTh]

Best dance of the nightOut of the two so far, no.

[GiRTh]

And the crap ones at the end :laugh:Mike and Katya last hopefully.

[GiRTh]

Too straight, not enough Paso shaping.

[GiRTh]

Why do I find Michelle annoying?

[Denver]

Criminally ubdermarked

[Vanessa]

Good paso, but I thought Michelle was better last week.

[RileyH]

AWOOO are we ready for the first 40

[GiRTh]

This will be terrible. Emms's too tall and stiff for this dance. Its going to look strange. Trust me.

[GiRTh]

Oh dear lord. The lady's in trouble tonight.

[RileyH]

this is gonna get like 24 :( poor sis

[GiRTh]

this is gonna get like 24 :( poor sisMight not even get that.

[sleleen]

[sleleen]

shirley queen

[hijaxers]

Wow they are all smashing it tonight.

[sleleen]

[RileyH]

praying Emma B / Mike / Chris FLOP and save our queen

[sleleen]

praying Emma B / Mike / Chris FLOP and save our queen

[Denver]

Saffron has to go, vile bitch

[GiRTh]

Saffron has to go, vile bitch:laugh:

[GiRTh]

Nice but not great tonight from Kelvin.

[Denver]

Wow best of the night, 12s all around

[Liam-]

Michelle scalped

[Vanessa]

I love Oti. Hope she gets to the final this year. :love:

[RileyH]

saffy slayed again

[Liam-]

‘Your contemporary will go down in history!’

As one of the most overrated dances ever yeah, get on with it mun

[hijaxers]

Not a favourite the Samba

[hijaxers]

Her worse dance so far !

[Black Dagger]

That was a mess. But she will get overmarked as usual.

[hijaxers]

American smooth bores me as a dance

[RileyH]

Alex :love:

[RileyH]

why do they keep cutting to porsche mcqueen

[sleleen]

alex was seaux good

[Denver]

Chris should have gone week 1

[RileyH]

iconique

[Denver]

Terrible

[Denver]

The timing was off in parts

[hijaxers]

That was very entertaining ~ made i smile all way through

[LukeB]

That was amazing :clap1:

[sleleen]

bye why did that sound like ant and dec were singing there live

[Denver]

Only 30 Mark's to high

[sleleen]

oop theres three with 34

[GiRTh]

Dunno why but the thought of Anton doing a Rumba just made me a bit nauseous.

[Vanessa]

That was fun :laugh::dance:

[GiRTh]

the least sexy Rumba ever.

[hijaxers]

Dunno why but the thought of Anton doing a Rumba just made me a bit nauseous.

Wow that was very nice !

[sleleen]

that was the best dance of the night bar karim and emma w

[GiRTh]

Good dance. The only thing that spoilt it was Anton.

[hijaxers]

Good dance. The only thing that spoilt it was Anton.

Aww not liking Anton then ?

[RileyH]

anton is nothing but an annoying hinderance

[Vanessa]

Emma is in trouble tonight :worry:

[sleleen]

that was literally emma b’s best dance, shook at them scores

[GiRTh]

Aww not liking Anton then ?No. Having watched him over the years I can pretty much predict most of the steps in his Latin dances. He's been choreographing the same routines for years. I've got quite bored of him and the same routine over and over again. :shrug:

[Black Dagger]

It was a boring mess.

[Vanessa]

Due to undermarking

And Shirley doesn't like her D:

[RileyH]

Kim did it better
g5ueCT9p8gM

[Mitchell]

It was a boring mess.

As much as Emma is one of my favourites, you’re not wrong...

[sleleen]

shirley just looking at the ceiling im SCREAMING

[Vanessa]

Shirley has her favourites and her judging is biased.

No surprises, she favours the boys :creep:

[RileyH]

Overmarked :umm2: definitely trying to keep him from the DO :skull:

[GiRTh]

Over marked.

[Liam-]

Is Shirley still high from her surgery? The mood swings through tonight have been wild

[Vanessa]

Great show, I really enjoyed. Karim absolutely stole the show. He was phenomenal!
Kelvin and Alex, good work.
Mike and Chris both overmarked.
Michelle paso needed traditional music.
Shirley is way too harsh to Emma. The rumba is very hard and I thought she did well.

[Liam-]

Havent voted yet this series, but voted for Michelle tonight, I think she might be in trouble

[Vanessa]

Havent voted yet this series, but voted for Michelle tonight, I think she might be in trouble

Nah, I think she will be fine. She got a great score.

[GoldHeart]

Havent voted yet this series, but voted for Michelle tonight, I think she might be in trouble

I think Michelle is very safe , she has a big fan base.

[Vanessa]

I think Michelle is very safe , she has a big fan base.

I think Mike, Emma V and Saffron are in trouble.

[GoldHeart]

I guess Will & Neil aren't coming back then ,didn't realise their injuries were THAT severe.

[Beastie]

Michelle overmarked and over praised again. No surprise there.

[Vanessa]

I guess Will & Neil aren't coming back then ,didn't realise their injuries were THAT severe.

Neil might be back next week. He said he needed more time.

[Beastie]

Karim and Amy will win. And deservingly so.

[Vanessa]

Karim and Amy will win. And deservingly so.

They were sensational tonight. I would love to see an Argentine tango from them!

[Vanessa]

With Emma B getting the sympathy vote, I think the other Emma could be in trouble. :worry:

[Beastie]

They were sensational tonight. I would love to see an Argentine tango from them!

Karim has been brilliant for weeks but it's taken this long for them to get the marks they deserve.

[Vanessa]

Karim has been brilliant for weeks but it's taken this long for them to get the marks they deserve.

They're always undermarked. But this week they got the marks they deserved! :dance:

[Marsh.]

What an absolute TWAT Anton is.

By all means defend your partner and your routine but LET THE WOMAN SPEAK. Shirley is entitled to give her critique no matter what.

[Twosugars]

What an absolute TWAT Anton is.

By all means defend your partner and your routine but LET THE WOMAN SPEAK. Shirley is entitled to give her critique no matter what.

This.
He should be retired from the show tbh

[Twosugars]

They're always undermarked. But this week they got the marks they deserved! :dance:

They are never under marked you just lack objectivity

[GoldHeart]

This.
He should be retired from the show tbh

I honestly don't know why the smug arrogant twat is still on the show ,Brendan had to leave yet Anton is STILL there . I feel sorry for Emma being partnered with him .

[GoldHeart]

Michelle overmarked and over praised again. No surprise there.

TBF she IS great and actually HAS the talent to back up the praise and her paso was fierce ! , but i find it unfair and weird how they treat Emma B when she's just as good . It seems personal how they're penalising Emma B when she CAN dance :suspect: .

I avoid the main show as i hate the biased behaviour on the judges part, and the favouritism of Mike is ridiculous aswell :bored: .

[Vanessa]

They are never under marked you just lack objectivity

Sometimes they do.

[Nicky91]

my top 3 performances

Michelle & Gio: lovely pure paso content, and i was on edge of my seat during this, very exciting and fun to watch

Kelvin & Oti: FINALLY some emotion from Kelvin, and yeah i had goosebumps all over me, wow :clap2:

Emma & Aljaz: first performance of hers which got me dancing and i 100% enjoyed watching, for a non dancer great effort at a difficult dance what is the samba :clap1: :clap1:


my bottom 3

Mike & Katya: overmarked and were judges high or something, he was flat footed, some moves were awkward, the lifts were embarrassing, and unfunny

Saffron & AJ: everything looked laboured, rather than fiery, easy to watch, AJ's choreo was again nice as i like his dancing, but damn if you take risks you know it can go both ways

EmmaB & Anton: one moment completely standing still, no connection, Chemistry with anton whatsoever, and also the lacking training time is rubbish since Kellie Bright, Jake Wood also had other duties and they were amazing anyway on strictly, we were wrong about miss barton, and ''musical experience'' more lacking musicality :idc: deserved bottom of leaderboard

[Pja1969]

been a fan for years and after the last few weeks and stretching back to further series the judges scoring at times is influential on the public vote and result and it's time make it fairer. Let the judges score but for guidance only, making it down to the public from the first week they can vote. Only way judges get a say then is dance off

[Nicky91]

Let the judges score but for guidance only, making it down to the public from the first week they can vote. Only way judges get a say then is dance off

i'm also a fan for years, we need new set of judges, idk some who can be unbiased, and just focus on technique, dance content, performing skills


public vote from first week they can vote, got us a shock exit first boot in martina Hingis many years back ;) she was decent and under these rules she would've at least made week 5 or 6 i think, also one of few tennis players who was decent, most of them are no hopers on dancing shows


this weird judges scoring makes me unappreciate the show, and on lets dance Germany there is no judges vote in results, public vote alone, i like that show more

[Vanessa]

Karim stole the show last night. That's got to be one of the best quicksteps I've ever seen on the show. And great choreography from Amy.
I would love to see an Argentine tango from them.

[Vanessa]

Why in the hell they didn't give Michelle traditional music for the Paso? It would have been epic! :fist:

[Vanessa]

I adore Chris as a person, but his dancing leaves me cold.

[Denver]

First ever same sex couple dance tonight I believe

[Amy Jade]

Wonder when the backlash will begin against Karim?

Ashley started getting major hate around this time and Alexandra started losing support.

[Mitchell]

Wonder when the backlash will begin against Karim?

Ashley started getting major hate around this time and Alexandra started losing support.

Hopefully soon, it’s unfair that others are getting ringah status when the real ringah is going unnoticed lol

[Vanessa]

Karim has the Viennese waltz. Should be great!

[Vanessa]

For some reason, men don't get that much hassle about their dancing experience :laugh:

[Amy Jade]

For some reason, men don't get that much hassle about their dancing experience :laugh:

We know the reason though. Sadly.

[Vanessa]

We know the reason though. Sadly.

He isn't as big a ringer as Danny Mac was. He was my favourite, but he was almost at pro level.

[Amy Jade]

Asif they sent Emma home against THIS what a ****ing joke

[Amy Jade]

A joke.

[Vanessa]

Mike really needs to go :fist:

[Amy Jade]

Bless her, she's been wonderful.

[Vanessa]

:sad::bawling:

[Vanessa]

Eight couples remaining! Aaaaah D:

[Amy Jade]

Mike is so annoying, he thinks hes good and everything. Twat.

[LukeB]

Mike really needs to go :fist:

He will when he faces someone who was better than him.

[Vanessa]

One more week to Blackpool. Hope Michelle and Karim make it there. :amazed:

[Ammi]

..Emma was a joy to watch in all of her dances...:love:..


...just as an off topic...Emeli Sandé and the dancers performances...:lovedup:...gorgeous...

[Amy Jade]

He will when he faces someone who was better than him.

Cath and Emma both were.

[Vanessa]

Mike is so annoying, he thinks hes good and everything. Twat.

The public doesn't like him. Unfortunately, the judges do :fist:

[LukeB]

Cath and Emma both were.

Maybe if you think of all their performances but last week and this week he was slightly better. He just gets lucky he faces someone who is also not the best dancer. We haven’t lost an amazing dancer so far. Emma W was one of the worst with Emma B this week and cath’s cha cha was poor.

[Vanessa]

They better not save him against a better dancer :fist:

[LukeB]

They better not save him against a better dancer :fist:

They won’t. I doubt he can survive over Karim,Kelvin and Michelle. Maybe not Alex either because she’s getting stronger. He can survive over Chris probably and Emma B. I don’t even like Mike and i prefer the ones he survived over but i can’t deny some were worse that week.

[Vanessa]

They won’t. I doubt he can survive over Karim,Kelvin and Michelle. Maybe not Alex either because she’s getting stronger. He can survive over Chris probably and Emma B.

It depends what dance they have. Emma with couples choice will be very strong.
And I can see Chris do a good tango.

[LukeB]

It depends what dance they have. Emma with couples choice will be very strong.
And I can see Chris do a good tango.

Yeah probably depends on what dance they got. Emma will do great with couples choice, it probably be jazz. I think Mike’s luck will run out next week. Emma W was unlucky enough to get the samba because that’s hard for most.

[Vanessa]

Yeah probably depends on what dance they got. Emma will do great with couples choice, it probably be jazz. I think Mike’s luck will run out next week.

And Karim has another ballroom. His strength. I'm just glad it's not the rumba. I'm not keen on it :laugh:

[Twosugars]

Johannes and Graziano :clap1:

[Ammi]

Johannes and Graziano :clap1:

...I think that Emilie Sande’s song made it more uplifting as well...magical..:lovedup:..

[Vanessa]

I was so distracted last night, I didn't notice that they were dancing together. :shocked::joker: I need to rewatch it.

[Nicky91]

Emma Barton theatre jazz, well we will find out if her musical experience is real, since someone with that experience should be able to slay that dance


i so hope TPTB throw Mike a rumba or argentine tango, or at least something horrendous :fan:

[Firewire]

I must be the only one who loves Mike & Katya

[Nicky91]

I must be the only one who loves Mike & Katya

:shrug:

don't get me wrong cause i like the ''entertainment'' acts, but to a extent that at least they give the dancing loads of effort rather than just stomping around week by week


Ed Balls at least gave it 110% effort for the dancing, his commitment was why he was loved with GBP, same goes for Jeremy Vine, or a John Sergeant


Mike is just on the ''i don't give a damn about dancing, just stomping around like a toddler'' path same what was walked by miss ann widdecombe :idc:

[Firewire]

What gives you the impression that he doesn't care?

[Cherie]

why is the emphasis always on two males when its same sex couples? I enjoyed the dance but there could have been a third couple with females of the same sex to even things out a bit maybe?

[Nicky91]

What gives you the impression that he doesn't care?

:rolleyes: idk, also the hypocrisy from him on bbc breakfast being so nasty about other contestants, and hyping up his own performances

and then on saturday night in his VT all going, i liked catherine

i said to myself, go kiss your own arse loser bushell :idc: with your fake liking catherine


also judges i will put on mute whenever they talk, since i am not interested in their bullcrap ''criticism'' and i wonder who producers will target next since it is Obvious they want to keep mike in as long as possible :notimpressed:

Send me a link and I'll check it out.

[Cherie]

I'm torn about this, I think Katya is a better choregrapher so happy she is still in

[AnnieK]

:rolleyes: idk, also the hypocrisy from him on bbc breakfast being so nasty about other contestants, and hyping up his own performances

What had he said on breakfast about other contestants?

[Nicky91]

What had he said on breakfast about other contestants?

about the public should move on after one day of the results, not cry when your faves get eliminated

that is downright rude, and he should try be more respectful towards the public if he wants to make a chance with them, since 3 times in a row a dance off proves he is far from liked by public and he got no fans

[Vanessa]

:rolleyes: idk, also the hypocrisy from him on bbc breakfast being so nasty about other contestants, and hyping up his own performances

and then on saturday night in his VT all going, i liked catherine

I also don't like him. He can't dance and he isn't fun either.
No idea why the judges love him so much. :shrug:

[Firewire]

I'm torn about this, I think Katya is a better choregrapher so happy she is still in

I love Katya

[Vanessa]

I love Katya

Same, but I just can't warm to Mike.

[GiRTh]

Bruno Tonioli saved Mike Bushell ‘as he covered for mistake made by partner Katya Jones’ during dance off (https://metro.co.uk/2019/11/04/strictly-come-dancings-bruno-tonioli-saved-mike-bushell-as-he-covered-for-mistake-made-by-partner-katya-jones-during-dance-off-11038201/)

According to those watching the result live in the studio, Bruno told the BBC Breakfast presenter he was impressed he ‘had covered for the professional’s mistake’, although these comments were cut from the broadcast of the results show.

I wonder why they cut that comment? :think:

[Vanessa]

This gets tougher and tougher. Good luck to all the couples.
In case I lose my favourite couple, all my votes go to Michelle and Giovanni, my second favourites :love:

[Nicky91]

good luck (even though i'm pretty sure you'll slay it) Kelvin & Oti, Michelle & Gio


extra bit of luck for Alex, good she can be dancing with her Original partner again

[Nicky91]

made my scoresheet, sort of standings for the remaining weeks :dance:


and also did the same for upcoming Friday, for me kick off of DOI Germany season 5


luv being a Judge myself :love: :love:

[Barry.]

Jean Grey is in there it looked like.

[LukeB]

Motsi and Shirley giving that Mike a 7 :umm2:

[Pja1969]

I hope Karim will be in the dance off

[LukeB]

Motsi and Shirley again overscoring..

[Pja1969]

Judges favouring Karim with scores. This is why voting system needs making fairer. See my post about should it be changed

[Denver]

Karim must be struggling with votes? That is the only reason he was vastly overmarked and I like him

[LukeB]

No idea why Motsi thinks Karim is one to beat when he has been a hit and miss where Kelvin has been constant always getting high scores so he’s the one to beat.

[LukeB]

Come on Craig give Michelle your first 10!

[Pja1969]

Judges shouldn't be allowed to give standing ovations after a dance they like no matter how good. The only judge who is professional is Craig. It shows favouritism

[LukeB]

Where were the 10s...

[LukeB]

Love Emma B, she’s so sweet.

[Liam-]

Michelle was undermarked!

[Pja1969]

Emma B was great but judges to reserved with comments. If this isn't tactically scoring then what is it.

[Amy Jade]

Michelle was undermarked!

Very. Karim was over marked.

[Pja1969]

Shirley's comments on Kelvin strange. Undermarked

[Liam-]

Ugh, the constant fawning and dribbling over Kelvin is horrendous

[Liam-]

Very. Karim was over marked.

As always

[LukeB]

I think it's going to be Mike vs Chris with Chris going because they want Mike in blackpool. Mike was actually the worst tonight.

[AnnieK]

I think it's going to be Mike vs Chris with Chris going because they want Mike in blackpool. Mike was actually the worst tonight.

I agree with Mike v Chris but think Mike will go

[Marsh.]

Was that Famke Janssen? :love:

Although what the hell has happened to her face? :worry:

[Barry.]

Was that Famke Janssen? :love:

Although what the hell has happened to her face? :worry:

It was.

[Barry.]

Shut up Simon.

[Marsh.]

It was.

Who is she supporting?

[LukeB]

Who is she supporting?

Kelvin i suppose.

Amy and Kimberley Walsh were there too so i guess Kelvin is close with whoever is on Emmerdale and their siblings.

[Marsh.]

Kelvin i suppose.

Not Jean Grey being friends with Andy Sudden.

[Barry.]

Who is she supporting?

Thought it was Michelle.

[LukeB]

Not Jean Grey being friends with Andy Sudden.

sfdf i misread the name..

probably Michelle but i didn't notice the queen. :(

[Marsh.]

sfdf i misread the name..

probably Michelle but i didn't notice the queen. :(

Sat next to Kimberley Walsh and her overacting sister.

[LukeB]

Sat next to Kimberley Walsh and her overacting sister.

ahh i saw the picture, what has she done to her face :skull:

it's so random Famke sitting in the same row as soap stars nnn

[Vanessa]

Really upset with Claudia and her unfunny joke at Karim expenses.
It wasn't necessary :fist:

[LukeB]

Motsi saying this to Alex and Neil sksks

"Well, I feel like we've seen a new couple that we knew but then somebody had an affair and now the light is back on."

[Twosugars]

Karim was ****.
Michelle the best.

[Vanessa]

If Karim has couple choice next week, I can see him so Street commercial. And he will smash it! He said he loves street dancing

[Marsh.]

Claudia is hilarious. The bit with the Blackpool rock. :laugh2: I love her.

[Liam-]

Claudia is hilarious. The bit with the Blackpool rock. :laugh2: I love her.

I screamed :love:

She deserves a better cohost

[Vanessa]

So disappointed Michelle is not doing the tour. I wanted her to be there. :fist:

[Nicky91]

Saffron not doing that either, or must be dancing with someone else than AJ since AJ's not on the pro dancer line up for the live tour

[Vanessa]

I'm watching Step up : the streets. Would love to see Karim and Amy do a street dance. It would be absolutely epic!

[Vanessa]

Omg everyone doing the conga at the end :laugh3:

[Cherie]

Katya getting stuck in the final lift :joker:

[Nicky91]

anyone's game now, depending on what dances everyone got

Kelvin has Jive (i can see it being a good one for him)

Alex has Paso doble, to a Beyonce song (we don't know which one yet)

[Liam-]

MIchelle has been snubbed from the tour in favour of Mike Bushell?

The homophobia reeks

[Denver]

MIchelle has been snubbed from the tour in favour of Mike Bushell?

The homophobia reeks

Tbh I'm sure that I saw Michelle was gonna reject the tour anyway because she couldn't fit it in her schedule

[Strictly Jake]

Yeah Im not shocked Michelle couldn't do the tour. More shocked Chris couldn't do it!

But that does mean we will lose both Chris and Michelle before the finals

[Liam-]

Tbh I'm sure that I saw Michelle was gonna reject the tour anyway because she couldn't fit it in her schedule

Well judging by her twitter, she was well up for it and is devastated she wasn’t asked

[Denver]

I would like to now how Chris got more votes then Michele? he is the worst dancer and is totally unfunny

[Nicky91]

I would like to now how Chris got more votes then Michele? he is the worst dancer and is totally unfunny

:conf:

i quite like his sense of humour, and as for the dancing he's got a lot better than week 1

and i love how he gives his full 110% in training week by week

[Vanessa]

Yeah Im not shocked Michelle couldn't do the tour. More shocked Chris couldn't do it!

But that does mean we will lose both Chris and Michelle before the finals

Im very upset by this. I think she would have been amazing.

[Vanessa]

Katya getting stuck in the final lift :joker:

When they all did the conga. These two are funny :joker:

[Vanessa]

I pray the dance gods that Michelle has the couple choice and Karim has the Charleston :laugh:

[Vanessa]

I would like to now how Chris got more votes then Michele? he is the worst dancer and is totally unfunny

No idea. His dancing leaves me cold. Nice guy, but not the same standard as the others.

[Vanessa]

Omg Jenny Thomas is working with Karim and Amy. I'm so excited! Last year her Joe Sugg showdance was phenomenal!
A very talented lady.

[Nicky91]

AJ: all the best dancers have danced at blackpool

that bit was so hilarious this weekend

me: yes Ed Balls danced at blackpool :laugh:

[Vanessa]

I'm sooo excited for Blackpool.
Let's just enjoy our favourites for as long as we have them. Anyone could go at anytime from now on.
And well done to Mike for making the final eight :love:

[Nicky91]

Emma having american smooth, the dance Anton went out on at blackpool with Fiona Fullerton, Judy Murray, but on a more positive note, he also had that dance with katie derham there

oops

[Liam-]

1194179155723722752

Joe and Dianne :flutter:
Gemma and Gorka :flutter:

[Vanessa]

1194179155723722752

Joe and Dianne :flutter:
Gemma and Gorka :flutter:

Joe and Dianne! I'm so happy! :dance:

[Vanessa]

When do the celebs go to Blackpool? Alijaz and Johannes are already there, apparently :suspect:

[Vanessa]

Im very happy that Catherine is on the tour. I look forward to seeing her rumba again.
For Karim, I want to see his quickstep and salsa. Possibly his Charleston also?

[Vanessa]

I'm getting bored of Kelvin and the hips thing. To be honest, I find Michelle and Karim much more interesting as people and performers.
For me Kelvin is a one trick pony. I'm yet to be impressed by his ballroom.

[Vanessa]

I'm seriously very excited about Michelle couples choice. Vogue is such an iconic video. Just recreating it would be incredible!
And of course I love the Charleston :D

[Denver]

Reports out today saying Michelle is unhappy on the show and no longer gets on with Giovanni

Well, they're both fiery people. So I expect they do clash a lot. But they manage to produce some great dances.

:laugh3: :laugh3: :laugh3: who told those reports, either dailyfail or wootton

Michelle isn't unhappy at all, was on it takes two last night, also very lovely to Gio, respecting all his choreographies, how he makes her work hard (which is what she wants)

[Vanessa]

Today it's Karim birthday. Happy birthday to my Strictly favourite! :bday::party:

[Morgan.]

Well judging by her twitter, she was well up for it and is devastated she wasn’t asked

She’s even signed and RT’d the petition for her to be added :laugh:

Although surely she could just ask the producers and they’d be able to add her?

You’d think so, she’s one of the most popular celebs this year so it’s a bit of a dumb decision, what if she goes on to win? They can’t have a tour without the winner on it surely :laugh:

I think seeing as they’re the only two left that aren’t doing the tour, her and Chris will be the next two out tbh.

Imagine choosing blatantly unpopular, 4 time dance off member Mike Bushell, over serial stunner Michele Visage, madness.

Well she unfortunately won’t if she’s not on the tour - they’ll do everything they can to make sure she doesn’t make it. Although Tbf, Dr Ranj was on last years tour and 3 celebrities ahead of him weren’t.

I know Charles Venn didn’t tour, and he made the quarter final so we could have Michelle for a few more weeks.

[Nicky91]

Karim's charleston moves looked quite sloppy i saw on waite's warmup last night

but that song choice of his is that super fast so i can understand it being extra tricky to be fast and technically good

I'm surprised they put Mike in there. Should have been Michelle. I heard Craig is behind the tour.
That's why I'm shocked Michelle isn't there.
Very surprised to see Karim in it, but I'm not complaining!

[Strictly Jake]

Cant believe that michelle really wanted to do the tour amd wasnt signed for it...id understand if she had declined it.

Crazy decision

But its ok i wont be going to see it anyway

[Barry.]

Glad I'm not going this year then.

[Strictly Jake]

Did you get the song choices?

Craig only directs it, I don’t think he’s involved with casting.

[Barry.]

Doing it tonight. Got Pokémon tomorrow lol.

It's quite disrespectful of the show to snub a contestant that's got to the top 7 isn't it?

[Vanessa]

Really excited for Michelle couples choice. Its going to be epic!
And the Charleston, one of my favourite faces on strictly :dance:

[Nicky91]

Chris's salsa :love:

Alex with lots of female backing dancers and Neil being the only guy in the paso performance :flutter:


Kelvin, Oti recreating the movie scene of jailhouse rock with prison bars, gonna be amazing :dance:

[Nicky91]

Blackpool show tonight :)


the only safe one is La Visage, as long as she got good scores from judges and judges favor her above emma b, chris, saffron, alex, karim i guess


Karim might be in trouble, if the music is too fast and his moves look too sloppy

[Livia]

Really looking forward to tonight. Blackpool is always a great show.

[Vanessa]

Enjoy the show everyone. Whatever happens, every couple has done well to get this far. And we're in for an amazing show.
I'm hoping Karim and Michelle both survive tonight :fc:

[Vanessa]

Really looking forward to tonight. Blackpool is always a great show.

I love the Tower Ballroom. It's so beautiful!

[GiRTh]

Blackpools here!!!!!

[Vanessa]

I'm going offline to enjoy the show. Hope you all have a great time :wavey:

[LukeB]

I predict Michelle or Kelvin is getting a 40 tonight.

[GiRTh]

:dance:

[GiRTh]

American Smooth. :think:

They're really helping Anton with these dance choices.

[Braden]

Shirley and Bruno are handing out high scores like they're sweeties.

[Marsh.]

Happy for Emma. Anton can choke. :idc:

[Marsh.]

Shirley and Bruno are handing out high scores like they're sweeties.

Tbf, Shirley gets ripped to shreds when she gives criticism and then ripped apart when she gives praise. The woman can't win. :laugh:

Do the producers just select a line up? How is it decided?

[LukeB]

I think Emma thought she will never get a 10, her reaction was cute! happy for her :love:

[GiRTh]

The band butchering Beyonce.

[Braden]

I enjoyed that!

Love Alex and Neil.

We need strict Shirley!

[Ammi]

..it’s so touching how much it all meant to Emma and how thrilled she is to be at Blackpool..:lovedup:...Blackpool in general just feels a lot more grande this year to me for some reason...

[Marsh.]

What is Alex famous for?

[LukeB]
