Alex as well, she turned Joe into a winner

Katya doesn't even come close to Oti though

They’re both the two most solid female pros in my opinion

Maisie was probably the best of the night.

Bill is my winner though. Voted for him, Clara and Nicola.

Done my votes Bill Caroline and Jason

Bill was great. Definitely better in ballroom than Latin.

Yeah Bill is a suprise for me! Him and Oti are great together. Top 3 for me so far

He's better at ballroom than Latin.

My rankings of last night's performances.

1. Nicola & Katya - Street
2. Maisie & Gorka - Tango
3. Bill & Oti - Quickstep - Surprising to see him technically do a solid dance.
4. Clara & Aljaz - Viennese Waltz - I liked it personally, I feel like the judges should've given her at least an overall score of 20 imo.
5. HRVY & Janette - Viennese Waltz
6. Caroline & Johannes - Paso Doble
7. Jason & Luba - Salsa
8. Ranvir & Giovanni - Quickstep
9. Max & Dianne - Jive
10. Jamie & Karen - American Smooth
11. Jacqui & Anton - Samba - Technically it should be bottom, but I found it more entertaining than JJ's dance personally.
12. JJ & Amy - Paso Doble - I loved the idea of what they were trying to go for, but for me personally it just didn't get executed very well, in fairness though a Paso in week 2 was probably a harsh dance to give him as loads of contestants over the years need to time to build up charisma and put it in their dances. Great song choice as well.

Jason & Luba's Salsa :love: :love: i disagree strongly with Craig i saw loads of good hip action, also energy throughout the routine, very nice

JJ & Amy's Paso, very strong efforts at such a tricky dance for a novice with a disability :clap1: also Prince Harry can be proud

Bill & Oti's Quickstep, huge surprise this was phenomenal, technically wise but it also looked like very good fun

HRVY & Janette's Viennese Waltz, i am in love with his ballroom look, so charming, classy, elegant :love:

Caroline & Johannes's Paso, it was not hot or sexy lol lol, but again very strong efforts at this dance, when i knew Caroline would struggle with latin dances, i agree with Jo, she did great



whom disappointed me

Clara & Aljaz, i disliked the Paso elements, tooo aggressive facial expression for a soft elegant dance as a viennese waltz

Maisie & Gorka, it was too fast for my liking, also more emotion next time Maisie, it kinda felt lifeless, robotic in places

Nicola & Katya, although it was good, this routine did nothing for me

also nice we had Gordon Ramsay for terms and conditions this week :clap1: :clap1:


#Gordon4Strictly2021 :lovedup: would love that so much, the pro who must teach him is in for a real nightmare as he is quite a handful

tonight 7:15 result show

also bit with Bruno (via video link) and the judges up at clauditorium

and the dance off, and music from sam smith :love: am curious who'll dance to that (hope Neil & Nancy)

Next week is Movie week. I really want a salsa from Hrvy. :fc:

teaser from our pro group dance of tonight :D

have to get my drinks, bowl of crisps sorted

am curious about Bruno's opinions on HRVY, because he didn't mention him last week in that short bit he was on :laugh:

but also what he thought of this weeks performances, am sure he's shocked at Bill & Oti

Can't wait to see the group dance on the result show. Should be amazing!

what was the reason they didnt have a proper Halloween show?

Too early for a theme week and potentially costume/makeup concerns

Max and Diane didn't thank the public for keeping them.
I thought that was odd.
Everyone else did :suspect:

Jason having Star Wars, i kinda hope it's Paso Doble, to Imperial March theme, luv that tune myself tbh :love: and i can see a nice Paso being choreographed to that too

don't worry anyone, the no audience isn't really bad (i mean i am used to it from lets dance germany earlier this year)

you still have clapping from other couples, and who knows maybe BBC has got some of their crew there too to clap after each performance


i also luv the Augmented Reality thing for this year, boosts performance quality of each dance for the tv viewer (since u are doing it for them solely now)

I'm just going to enjoy my two favourites for as long as they're there.
Because any of them can leave at any time.

I love movie week. Need to buy some popcorn to enjoy while I watch the show tonight :joker:

the performance director told Gethin we might be in for a couple more spectacular weeks (this one of tonight included), since they already have wrapped up all of the group dances beforehand, what they normally are also busy with in a normal series

who are we looking forward to Movie Week?


for me basically all of them but based upon some themes which are my faves

- Bill's attempt at Paso and playing Clint Eastwood, gonna be interesting if he can pull off another fab routine

- Jason as Luke Skywalker and Luba as Princess Leia, also luv star wars theme, basically any John Williams soundtrack i very much love :clap2:

- Max & Dianne as Homer & Marge, well huge fan of the simpsons myself so kinda excited for that

- HRVY & Janette as Gnomes, haven't seen the movie yet, but i like garden gnomes, have many of them in my garden, and that elton john song, well i personally like the cheesiness in a elton track

- Jamie, everything i think of Hercules now, i think of Mark Addy :fan: his character in atlantis :laugh:
