I've got so much to say, but it's difficult when you have to be so secretive.

Gonna do my rankings either soon tonight or in the morning.

After a quick glance, I'm not as impressed as others are with some choices for this round. Although there are some that did well. The last round, boybands and Girl groups was the best standard of song choices so far of this whole competition. I think we've had a dip this round.

I think with the range of choices of an entire decade of songs, we could have done better.

[Alf]

I found my songs difficult to fit the dances I had.

On the 90s I got it down to a 50/50 choice of two songs (hope I chose the right one)

The 80s, I had 3 songs. One of them was used so much on Strictly that I discarded it. So again it was a 50/50 choice between 2. I think I chose the one that would do me more favours, hopefully.

I could have done so much better with the luck of having a better dance style. But you have to go with what you're given.

I fancy my chances to get through. That's not being cocky. I'm just a realist. If that statement plays against me, then so be it, but I'm confident that I did OK.

Yeah that’s hard. So many times I find a song which would be perfect for another dance style but not the one I have

I find that's always the case. I sometimes feel that Jake punishes me. Although I realise it is random.

[Maru]

Dwayne's 80s video isn't playing for me, even though it's a 6 year old video. Maybe it's a regional restriction even though it doesn't say anything. All the information about the video is showing... it probably doesn't impact anyone else but me... but yeah


Alan's and Michelle's 90s picks ...

Dwayne's 90s quickstep is genius...

I literally said that recently. Was praying I wouldn’t get a particular dance for a round and I got it

That happened 80% of the time for me ... "Oh I have the perfect song... too bad it's a quickstep..."

[Benjamin]

I can’t wait to share my thoughts on some people’s picks, especially some of the 90’s choices

There's gonna be more discussion after the competition is over than there's been during it.

It’s honestly so hard not to say too much without giving anything away. It’s tearing me up inside.

[Alf]

So am I correct that the players left are...

Myself
Ben
Cherie
Livia
Kate
Jones89
Annie

Is that it?

[Alf]

I still haven't scored this round yet. I've had a few drinks and am gonna wait until I'm sober in the morning.

[Benjamin]

Unless Maru is secretly playing still

I have no sympathy for you. I get so many YouTube videos from America that I can't play. It's good to know you get a taste of your own medicine.

Can't believe Niamh didn't take part this time, she's usually always in and a strong contender.

She's missing out, because this one has been the best edition of this we've done. And we've done a few.

Don't know which celebrity you are (I don't know who anyone is) but you're obviously going well for your debut season.

Ah thanks!. Yeah i’ve lasted longer than expected, that’s for sure but everyone’s doing great

[Alf]

I thought I knew who Kate was after the last round, but I've changed mind on that after this round, and now I think Kate is someone else.

So confusing.

Just say you're currently preparing for celebrating American Thanksgiving (Thursday) and you'll need some time off afterwards to recover from your food coma. Imagine having to submit your rankings while your stomach is so full of food. Unacceptable.

You of all people I would expect to have a VPN But yeah, I'd have to have logged into mine that I use to watch BB to be able to watch the video ironically enough... just because I'd want to watch the one the person actually shared.

Good reminder.

I hope you have a great thanksgiving Maru. We don't have this day. But we do have our equivalence. In February, we have pancake day (true story)

But seriously, enjoy your day. Eat a slice of pumpkin pie for me
