so i expect her to do well here, otherwise i will be terribly disappointed, and if she has a weak performance i will give her a low score last week i could defend her cause argentine tango was out of her comfort zone, but now salsa is within her comfort zone i have some expectations

I like the Salsa, ite fun. Hope she does well.
I think Joe has couples choice surely? He hasn't done it yet. I would like either theatre and jazz or commercial/Street.
But i think Joe could do an amazing Argentine tango.

would they do a argentine tango battle Faye vs Joe then :think:


Salsa suits her personality more than an argentine tango, she's more of a happy person than an angry too serious one


Lauren could go home this or next week but i don't care about that anymore, i just want her to have fun now

Yes. Let's just enjoy our favourite couples for as long as they're there. Most of them have to leave at some point anyway. Won't be easy reaching the final with three people who have dancing experience.
Ashley, Faye and Charles have all danced before.

Charles is so smug either, he is well paired with Karen also funny how this year she had her first high scores, you can see what other duffers she was put up with each year :laugh2: Nicky Byrne the ringer that never was for example

and agreed Nessa, i am happy that Lauren has a fun dance, i still stay with that, if you're going out better to go on a fun dance rather than something boring as a rumba for example

i am proud of Lauren having made it to week 10, which is great for a beginner and i'm sure she'll continue to just love dancing also it isn't easy for her cause now she also has preparation for another few upcoming paratriathlons beginning next year which she is a top contender at, so respect for her commitment to strictly despite this packed schedule :clap1:

my dad's favourite last year was Davood & Nadiya, and i also felt gutted for them they went out on argentine tango at musicals week



he's so pedestrian :fan: even an Ed Balls had more finesse and at least tried to give his all into every dance, Graeme just goes for the acting, selling a performance bit

If anything they've been trying to keep him in. It's Lauren they want to rig out.

I think Graeme looks better because Oti is keeping to run of the mill very safe routines.
I'm astounded how he is saved by the Judges time and time again.

Joe, Lauren and the others, in the main do get far more challenging routines to deal with.

I've always felt Ashley will win this series, no doubt too Pasha creates great routines and is an amazing dancer.

I rate AJ as the best at creating strong, entertaining and demanding routines, which he rarely gets credit for.

However, I now feel due to continuous improvement and the public really coming to like him overall a lot, that Joe could be carried to a deserved win now.

I really think most of the judges don't care for A J Pritchard more than his partners.
Particularly Darcey, who now I can't stand, even her voice is grating on me.
Also too though the supposed but poor replacement head judge for Len, Shirley Ballas.

It's actually only the judges who spoil Strictly now for me.
