Rose and Giovanni for me were the best. I mean, that was just stunning!.

[Nicky91]

i myself like couples choice, i know it is controversial to say that

but i like also seeing other dance styles such as Hip Hop, Hawaiian, Jazz, Contemporary, Disco

hope we also get to see Bhangra soon either, also a very lovely and very entertaining looking piece of dance art

Flamenco would make a nice choice either



also couples choice is a ''showdance'' more or less yes, but each of these dance styles also bring with them their own respective techniques you still got to learn and perfect so it is not like you have a week off or anything from rehearsing




Robert & Dianne i quite like as a pair, i love their muppets quickstep, little or no gapping at the quickstep part which is impressive, compared to Adam last year where there was much gapping

i love how brave Dianne is and i respect her how she wants to be dressed up as these iconic characters 3 years in a row now, as Abu (with Dev's aladdin) Marge Simpson (Max's couples choice) and now Miss Piggy

I have to say sadly I'm not keen on the couple's choice dances myself.

Prefer to see set dances even moreso when they're danced well.

Could do a mini separate series for dances where anything goes.

With the other tripe on the BBC, an extra mini series would be welcomed by me.

yes your opinion and that's ok


but i like other sorts of dances in this show either


tbh Rhys didn't quite deserve a 10, more because Hip Hop needs much tighter, staccato popping and locking, and i found him too energetic almost turning it into a Hip Hop Jive



Ugo's didn't look as neat, or didn't have musicality for some (i thought that routine of his and Oti truly embraced the hawaiian culture so well, since Moana is a hawaiian animation movie, and hawaiian dance isn't really known for the best looking piece of dance, but that dance style they have is a very fun one, maybe also my bias that i'm a fan of hawaii's culture)




Greg last week with his Disco/Contemporary fusion CC, i thought his disco moves were very on point, in sync with Karen, and i found that particular fusion of those two styles very interesting either

[Vanessa]

I think Rhys can do great ballroom. But I really want to see a jive or Charleston from him.
If he has ballroom then it has to be quickstep.

[joeysteele]

It was close definitely but for me Judi should have gone tonight.
She just walked round and shook a bit.

Shirley is really hopeless, in my view.

Question for everyone if you were in strictly who would you want as a professional partner for me its Amy

Same, she has such a lovely personality.
I'm disappointed that Katie was eliminated, her dance was better than Judi's, and Judi made a mistake, Shirley didn't notice of course...

Giovanni

[LaLaLand]

Amy, fellow Welsh!

[Nicky91]

Katie was indeed better in the dance off


also lol at Anton twice in a row leaving the decision to Shirley just for the lols of placing her in that crucial decision making which she gets loads of criticism for






Tilly a Paso Doble


Adam the first argentine tango of the series


Dan a cha cha cha to mc hammer you can't touch this

Shirley'is head judge, so she makes the final decisions.
But I wish it was Anton.

[Vanessa]

I like Judy, but she made a mistake in the dance off. Yet Shirley said she didn't see it. Funny that Anton saw it and she didn't

[Nicky91]

Judi dancing a waltz to Hero by Mariah Carey


Ugo dancing a viennese waltz to i've been loving you too long by Seal (originally Otis Redding)


Rose dancing cha cha cha to Raspberry Beret by Prince

[Vanessa]

AJ and Kai have the samba.
John and Johannes the American smooth.
Adam and Katya Argentine tango
Dan and Nadia cha cha cha
Greg and Karen samba
Tilly and Nikita Paso
Tom and Amy Foxtrot
Ugo and Oti Viennese waltz

[Nicky91]

Sara & Aljaz might have a Tango

[Mystic Mock]

I'm interested to see how Adam & John's dances go.

Definitely Mock.

Adam dipped last week although I haven't been greatly impressed with him up to now anyway.
The routines haven't been all they could have, for me anyhow.

From my own family and those I discuss Strictly with.
I've never come across such massive enthusiasm after a dance, like I've heard re John and Johannes Paso Doble.

It was really brilliant in my view, a continuous and packed routine.

It will be interesting to see how things go this weekend again too.

I had some hopes for Tilly but she does good though not with that sparkle needed.

Somehow I think Judy and Dan may struggle again.

However, this series is really one of the strongest ever for me as to Strictly.

The faults are few really and seem to not affect the routines at all.
My gripe is when what the dance is and when it's NOT done at least in a major part how it ought to be.

Yes, if they must have segments of a variation, fine, however stick to the disciplines of the dance too mostly too.

But Judy has ballroom, so she should be fine.
The people who have Latin will likely score less.
Apart from Rhys, who I expect will dance a great salsa.
Rose will also do great, but won't be a high score.

Rose I agree does and will do great probably.

How in the week 10s were being dished out, then she didn't get one for that hauntingly beautiful routine she did last weekend, is beyond me.

I agree with you on Adam, I like the guy but he just can't dance from what I've seen so far.

I liked Tilly's Charleston, but that's been about it so far for her.

And John & Johannes so far for me have been so incredibly consistent, I can definitely understand why people are starting to hype them up, especially after the Paso performance (which I can understand why your friends & Family have rated that dance highly) it'll be a shame to see that consistency ruined on Saturday if the American Smooth goes wrong.

And I agree with you that the dances by and large should always have basic steps that need to always be followed, I never understand it when people do a dance and then don't recreate the dance at all.
