Good list Mock.
I do love reading your analysis of the routines.

Sadly for me, this was one of, if not THE, poorest of quarter finals.

Thanks Joey.

And I agree with you about the quarter finals being ropey.

1) Rose and Giovanni. Brilliant!
2) Rhys and Nancy. That's the best I've seen Rhys dance. I'm very proud of him!
3) John and Johannes. I actually really enjoyed it. Shane about the ending.
4) AJ and Kai. I was really into it, but the ending kind of ruined it for me.
5) Dan and Nadia. Not great. Taxi!

As I predicted, it’s so obvious who their favourites are it’s ridiculous

Also can we just talk about Shirley praising Rose for ‘blocking out the clapping and the cheering’ like of course she did, she’s ****ing deaf, she didn’t exactly have a choice

Oh gosh yes.
Thanks for raising that.

That one went over my head.
Indeed, what on earth was she thinking.
At the least insensitive in my view.

Tbf John has done better than AJ the last two weeks imo.

The bigger question is how Dan's above AJ.

I missed that comment.

If Shirley's said that then that's awful.

I'm sure she didn't mean any malice with the comment in fairness, it was probably a slip of the tongue.

Same.
I'm probably just being lazy, but no need for me to post as you've said it all for me here. Thanks!

John & Johannes: lots of good salsa basic content, the lifts bit hit and miss, one earlier lift went quite well, shame the lift at the end didn't go well but that was JoJo's fault not John, so not gonna penalize for that, this was decent 9

Rhys & Nancy: i disagree with the judges, clearly a desperate attempt from them to keep him out of the dance off, i already knew it how this song wouldn't work, and it lacked something for me, sometimes traditional music is the only best music for tango 6

Rose & Giovanni: that one lift first of all, RESPECT for you Rose, that is brave, very brave, but other than that a proper danced oldschool ballroom, wow perfection, simply perfection 10

Dan & Nadiya: great efforts at a classic tango for a complete non-dancer, very convincing acting work too for a non-actor, i loved this a lot, Go TeamWalkova 9

AJ & Kai: the lifts weren't the only bad thing, i am afraid, whole thing lacked hip action, very wooden and i agree with Craig also flat footed, wasn't dynamic at all, not your finest hour sadly, and avoiding the dance off is going to be hard, only way is to top the public votes but can she do that, we'll see tonight 3

[Nicky91]

great show last night



great opening number either, love that celine version too a lot of ''its all coming back to me now''

[Nicky91]

tonight THE RETURN OF ASTON MERRYGOLD alongside JLS in results show

What's Shirley on about.
Given time Dan will shine .
There's only 2 weeks left.

Now coming another Salsa.
Ugh.

only 2 weeks, a lot can still happen in these 2 weeks though


what do you know anyway

For crying out loud, you're becoming near impossible!!.
No need for nastiness Nicky, honestly you need to curb that nasty element to your posting when talking to others.

I know possibly as much as you or anyone else who watches this show who aren't professionally involved in dancing, actually anyhow we are ALL just giving our opinions.

Anyway, admittedly 2 weeks can be a fair time but what he hasn't learned in 11 weeks I doubt will be forthcoming in only the next 2.
Had she said that 4 or 5 weeks ago it would have more relevance.
It's not the only daft thing Shirley said last night either.

sorry

but it just seems like our opinions are complete polar opposites


i found this quarter final very strong


Rose had the best performance, i mean that lift was out of this world, definitely a leap of faith, could've gone wrong big time but it went perfect, shows how much these two trust each other

Rhys very overmarked in a desperate attempt of keeping him out of the dance off, well i hope he still is in the dance off, vs AJ hopefully, sorry for AJ but that shall teach those judges from overmarking the unpopular ones, 3 dance offs proves your nothing to the GBP


Dan has been improving constantly, and this was a good traditional tango, great even for his standards, and yes i scored him a 9 because he deserves to after all his hard work all these weeks to keep upping his game and doing Nadiya proud


John had the better of the Salsa's for sure because of lesser lifts and more dance content, and great hip action


AJ had non-existent hip action it felt like to me, quite wooden, and those lifts well if something is too difficult don't put it into the routine, less is really more, and those faulty lifts made her dance even worse than it already was as well, very much a DANCE DISASTER like Craig said




and judging by the leaderboard

Rhys 5
Rose 5
John 4
Dan 3
AJ 2


AJ needed to top public vote to survive, no other option than that

Dan has enough at second place in public vote, and over the weeks he has proven to have quite the fanbase so possible i guess

John needs 3 to survive


even Rose & Rhys could both be in the dance off, if Rose has 2 (since public vote is the deciding factor at a tie in the end) and Rhys of course with 1, i think he all the last weeks when in the dance off also had lowest public vote



so tonights results will be most exciting of the entire series so far

That's fine Nicky and thank you for the apology.
There wasn't a need for an apology.

People don't like the same dances then people don't like the same music or films.
It doesn't mean throwing insults out are warranted.

I'm at polar opposites with my greatest friend on here Mock re Dan, he and I don't question each others knowledge.

I'm at odds with others who intensely seem to dislike John whereas I do.
I'm not telling them they know nothing.

I find your comments on Strictly interesting even the ones I may disagree with.
However I wouldn't tell you, you know nothing, or say what do you know anyway.

We have different favourites and different likes of dances.
That's all.
No need for creating any divisive unpleasantness.

Have a good Sunday and week Nicky.
Thank you again.

I thought Rhys was brilliant. But I didn't like that song for the dance. The at needs traditional music.

[parmnion]

Just nail the lift st the end AJ, and you will be ok.

[joeysteele]

Oh gosh, that awful bit of music of Dan's dance again.
It's a depressing bit of music is that.
In my view anyhow.

[Vanessa]

Rose and Giovanni have Argentine tango next week! Omg I'm so excited. It's my favourite dance!

[parmnion]

AJ got very lucky, Dand danced superbly at the end there. I found AJ slow looking.

I hope she gets to the final. I think she deserves it.

[joeysteele]

I'm not bothered now really who goes through.
The certain one is Rose who will be through and also who will win too.
I can't see her being beaten in the final.

For the Pirates Paso Doble alone I'd like to see John through as I'd love to see that again in the final.
I consider it the best routine and dance over this whole series.

Then for me any from AJ and Rhys to be there too.

It really doesn't matter now as I think all left are just going through the motions of making up the numbers.

It will be Rose who wins.
I know no one who I know is watching Strictly who aren't voting for her, and heavily so too.

All have done brilliantly to get to the semi finals anyway.
Well done to every pairing who have.
Well deserved and hard fought for.
