Sam's dancing transcends what we mere mortals fathom as good dancing.

Her elegance across the dancefloor is hard to describe.

And ultimately... Her hips don't lie.

Technique is irrelevant when Sam's onscreen.

We just watch.

I like Sam too Mock.

It was a good routine and in my view warranted better scoring from the judges HOWEVER the judges, well 3 of them, particularly Shirley seem to have a dislike of Nikita.
That's been so over all the series he's been part of the show unfortunately.

Shirley also does have a bias against the female contestants.

Although I will be fair and say that she's more casual with it this series compared to other years, but it does creep in sometimes with Sam, and I honestly can't think as to why.

[Nicky91]

am not angry about judges overmarking Wynne, helps keep him safe so


and he needs to be icons week, he needs to (otherwise a huge injustice if we potentially get robbed of him as Adele, would be even more iconic than mrs doubtfire)


Tasha needs to play Britney i hope

[joeysteele]

Really Nick was absolutely dire.
Look, if he's injured and cannot perform to the fullest needed then he shouldn't be in.

He was weaker before he was injured.
He was the poorest by a mile last night.

he truly wasn't


Punam was the poorest of the night by a long mile, followed by Jamie (but we all know Jamie has a weakspot with production as the xmas special champion, the vile cheat he is + and michelle this will be her only year i think, too dull and forgettable personality lol, michelle will get hanna haarala'd)

I think you and I were watching something different.

I thought Jamie was really good actually.
As for Dr Punam I think she did pretty good overall.
However I have to say the routine looked and in my view was messy.
Gorka at times in my view devises routines which have him going off doing his own thing in the dance, rather than linking with the partner.
However I enjoyed it still.

Nick I have to say again was dire, absolutely dire.
It's sad he sustained an injury but I found the whole routine frankly tedious to watch.

Jamie's best dance. Some of the fans of other couples are starting to feel threatened by him.

I agree, it was Jamie's best dance so far.

I agree with you that Nick was very poor last night.

I thought Jamie was brilliant. It wasn't perfect, but he captured the party vibe perfectly.
He had me up and dancing

i preferred Chris's salsa


especially the Kangaroo moves in the beginning were so much fun

[Nicky91]

Pete is for example someone who i didn't expect much from pre-week 1


but he has a similar smoothness, relaxedness about him like John Schneider also had on DWTS (more surprising from Pete who doesn't have a performing background whereas John also had his country music background working in his favor) and chemistry wise also kinda similar

Jowita has a similar charm to her as Emma Slater has (i think she would similarly also be a good one for older males)

[Nicky91]

how on earth were Shayne and Nancy in that dance off????




Judges thankfully saved them



also good on Nick for still dancing a personal best in that dance off, but if ur PB isn't enough than its just bad luck, sad cuz he could've beaten Punam

Shayne appears to be disliked by the public.

I saw the Strictly audience go silent when his name was called out at the start of the Show on Saturday, while the crowd was cheering for everyone else.

I personally don't like Shayne that much myself, but even I'm surprised at the hostility towards him.

Really?? ,I thought he'd be popular...so that's surprising . He was giving disco energy on Saturday, routine looked fun.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Please let Jamie and Michelle do the Charleston. I've been waiting since week one!

For some reason the Strictly audience just don't seem to have taken to Shayne, JB, or Tasha.

They were all in the bottom five of Entertainment Weekly's poll this week, along with Jamie and Nick.

And Sam for some reason weren't in the top 5.

[Nicky91]

imagine people voting for The Nose who can't dance

[Nicky91]

maybe Shayne ended up forgotten due to going first?


Tom Dean suffered a similar fate (also going first with a Cha Cha)



so we'll see whenever a Jamie or JB has to open the show at some point, if they too will hit the dance off then?

[Nicky91]

+ we know there likely have been many votes coming in for those ''robbed of a higher score'' couples, like Sarah & Vito, could actually see them near the top of the votes this week


Paul had the bounce back vote (must've also been quite some votes otherwise he would've still been in a bit of trouble)


Punam deffo benefitted from the ''bottom of the leaderboard, bad judges criticism'' sympathy votes (that has been a case in many of the previous years whoever ends up bottom, with bad scores, equals in a good amount of votes)

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Giovanni and his partner Bianca got a perfect score on week two on the Italian version of Strictly. Wow

completely different version to strictly or DWTS honestly


they even got a 91 yr old competing on that show



good on Gio for staying active as a dancer



Graz on the other hand is completely done i think especially with video evidence against him
