would personally love if BBC also decides to do a Impro dance extreme, a second or third dance draw live in the show, would test our couples the basic skills some more within little amount of time



also would love if they can do a pro challenge show after the final, and winning duo one of them getting to choose his/her celeb for next series (another thing i love on german lets dance either)

Rhys is going to top that leaderboard this week.
That dance has the potential to be spectacular!

he's still not going to make the final


smug ringers are more likely to be shock booted around halfway point (the notorious DJJ and Aston Merrygold for example)

John is a ringer. Rhys has only done hip hop.

Adam Peaty going topless this week




prepare for the filthiest rumba on strictly ever

[Nicky91]

2 hours, 10 minutes length of tonights show


6:45 it starts


with a opening pro group dance too, a very emotional one according to Jason Gilkinson (he was in tears apparently during rehearsals/filming earlier this year)

[Parmy]

Oh good, he was dreadful.

[Parmy]

[LaLaLand]

Big improvement for Katie I think.

I agree.

They are all trying really hard and improving.

Brilliant Paso doble, it's not a dance I enjoy seeing and is usually one where mistakes occur badly.

That was a really incredible and entertaining Paso however.

A really great show indeed.

[AnnieK]

John and Johannes were amazing

Full of energy.

Spoilers are out for bottom 2

[Nicky91]

Judi & Graziano: not as iconic as that samba of hers last week, still a nice watchable performance, decent effort on charleston technique either 7

Dan & Nadiya: decent performance, but not wow Dan played the part of Prince very well, shame about the mistake but i agree with Shirley, the way he picked up after that was great to see 7

Sara & Aljaz: Controversial but i liked Sara's efforts at the samba technique, very nice bend knee, decent samba rolls despite those costumes they were still able to pull off those technical bits, and of course what a entertaining performance, Go Girl, you rock 8

AJ & Kai: AJ is a good dancer for sure, but what seems to be lacking here for me, is emotions, chemistry since technically this was executed wonderfully but the performing bit was a bit middle of the road for me 7

Robert & Dianne: another Controversial one from me but i loved the complete package here, very entertaining and technically speaking, in the faster movements in hold, i almost saw no gapping which is impressive, Robert played a very cute Kermit and Dianne a very lovely Miss Piggy, this was fab to watch 9

Greg & Karen: i actually liked the music choice combined with this dance, some of bond theme i found very fitting for Paso style, Greg played a convincing part as 007, and i recognized which movie they reenacted thanks to Karen dressed as Halle Berry, Die Another Day which is in my personal top 10 of bond movies, this was enjoyable to watch 7

Tilly & Nikita: i agreed with Craig but even harsher, indeed very heavy footed, it needed more energy throughout, this sadly just wasn't her dance, but i had no expectations whatsoever for this week, glad she has Jive behind her now, and good to have it on a theme week, good side Tilly played the part of Tracy very well for a non-actress 5

Rose & Giovanni: left me speechless, i think my score will say enough 10 simply stunning and one of my fave movie week and one of my fave foxtrot routines ever

Ugo & Oti: quite enjoyed this, and i strongly disagreed with Craig, i felt like he had good musicality since Moana isn't a ''musical'' compared to a Grease, Dirty Dancing, Dreamgirls, The Bodyguard, and also this is a great effort at some hawaiian dancing too, and hawaiian dance isn't the most neat either, and those lifts are wow, Oti must trust him too a lot if she allows him to throw her around like that 8

Tom & Amy: i don't know if he was flatfooted, but his Jive was better than Tilly's, much cleaner, more crisp, much much faster, great performance too 8

Adam & Katya: didn't find this bad at all, for me the rumba is a dance of emotion and he delivered loads of emotion here, and played the part of his character well too, i agreed with my dad, they were so unrecognizable, i personally like rumba's fused with contemporary elements and it was also very intimate and i loved the augmented reality effects too here as well as in Ugo's performance 9

Katie & Gorka: mediocre performance, and dance wise bit wooden as well, not that good 4

Rhys & Nancy: it suited him to perfection all the hip hop pop and lock stuff, but now he has got all of that hyperactive side out of him hopefully now calm down and try improving in the ballrooms and latins, am curious if Nancy can do where Janette had failed with Aston, for this performance, hmm 9

John & Johannes: i had my doubts because of his ballet past, but thankfully no ballet move in sight, good work Johannes this week, this was some fab dancing and performing from them, yes yes yes my only bit of criticism though, no more swapping leading roles since Nicolas & Vadim also didn't do that, and with that you can only go into same path as Nicola & Katya last year, but otherwise A-MA-ZING 9
