Marvellous show.  So many are good. I voted for Emma W and Karim. Loved so much of the others though.  It'll be sad to see anyone go (I know who has gone and it's not someone I would have picked to go).

Yes me neither.

I'll share my thoughts on why this happened later (I too succumbed to the Strictly Spoiler :()

Yes I'll reserve judgement until I see the results show.  'm sure the judges are fair and they look at the dance on the night, I was just surprised it was that person. I really liked her and of course her professional partner is terrific. So the other one in the dance off had better be really something!

We're going to see a few good ones going from now on. It's always the way.

Hope you're having a good day Trent. I'm having a lazy one having been up very early all week as my next in line has been ill, she works part time (youngish children), a person very easy to get along with & excellent at her job, we cover for each other at times. Well, I think she'll be back tomorrow, she intends to be but when she last phoned me she didn't sound well at all.
it's so nice and cosy today, I watched some of 'Strictly' again and we went out for an early pub lunch. Oh the joys of autumn - and Strictly.

I am grieving for Johannes, I've quite fallen for him.

I know, I could feel his pain at being voted out with Catherine though they obviously had had a good time. There's something about him though.....next year.

The judging was odd. Can't see how the Tango stomp as performed by Magic Mike (sic) was in the same league as Catherine and Johannes dance.

I watched it again paying more attention to footwork and technique.  I think Mike had improved and didn't put a foot wrong though he was a bit stompy in parts but apparently that was intentional (thumper and all that I suppose).

Catherine and Johannes were great, I preferred their dance but when Shirley gave the deciding vote, she explained very carefully what had particularly impressed her with Mike and Katya and I reluctantly think she was right. I liked the dance but I was spellbound by Catherine and Johannes - especially Johannes I suppose. I don't know what it is about that man but he has certainly caused a flutter in many people, he's touched my heart (I wish I was his mum). I could watch him dance for hours. The rhumba he did with Catherine was fabulous.

I'll see what they have to say on ITT later.

I caught some news earlier and it seems that Katya and Mike have had to put up with a lot of internet abuse from people saying, "It was a fix!". That's not fair at all, we have that sort of thing every year and it isn't true.

So did I. Thanks for posting the link, Ive watched it again. Beautiful stuff, both amazing but there's something about Johannes.....

I was sad that Emma W was out on Saturday night, I thought she was delightful. Glad Emma B is still going strong though.

EmmaB and Anton were on ITT earlier, very positive. I hope they do well on Saturday. Lots of the public still mourning over EmmaW and - her partner whoever he was :-). Didn't see him tonight though  :(.

I knew what was going to happen tonight and it was fair enough. Very good humoured.

The professionals dance at the beginning I thought was good.

Never heard of Luke Evans before and only had a glimpse of Johannes.  :(

Yes, a good and varied entertaining dance choreography.  I think the space at Blackpool makes the difference.  The standard of all was high and it's a pity that the numbers have to be whittled down.

Very good. I suspect Michelle may go. Her over emotional emoting jars, at least for me, and may result in fewer votes from the public. That and the fact that I thought it was the weakest dance of the evening.

I wasn't a fan of Michelle of whom I'd never heard before this series but there's no doubt some of her dancing was brilliant. Not so on Saturday, Saffron was much better and I think that her being in the bottom two will mean more votes for her next week.

Depends where she finishes. I think the person getting a big personal vote is Chris who comes across well and is improving. Alex is getting better and the change of her professional partner and back will have helped her. Karim and Kelvin were excellent on Saturday with Karim just shading it for me. Nice to see Emma  and therefore Anton get 10s but not sure I would have given them

Yes, they are all doing well. I've just seen Michelle on ITT, don't know what the 'vogue' dancing is but will google.

Karim on now, he is adorable. I think I will try and adopt them all.

Vogue is obviously linked to the Madonna song but worth watching Pose, see below for the idea, that Madonna then used

Ta for that! I did read about it so understood what Michelle was trying to convey and tbh she was good but on the day Saffron's dance was better imo; but the vogue thing is v interesting.
I'm a sad case, sitting here watching last night's ITT on iplayer (don't always like ITT), sipping some juice &trying to wake up properly before getting ready for work. Like seeing Alex and Neil, she's a great girl.
Hoping to get a glimpse of my would-be-adopted-son Johannes before going up for shower :-). (My loyal husband still favours Kevin,partnered this year with Anneka who wasn't all that good tho' very charming.)

Gotta go now, c u later.

Ooh Johannes is on now for a while!

Perhaps the series should include some 'strictly come tap dancing'.

There have been tap sequences in dances in the past, Tom Chambers did tap as part of his show dance, it''s also been in the American Smooth.

Well I know who's out and I ain't saying owt for fear of being banned, gagged, silenced forever. Just one clue, not bloke.

Yes! I watched it a second time and the accompanying dance was gorgeous (Johannes).
Andreas Bocelli tomorrow.

My ol' man thought the eliminated woman person would be the one to go, he's often right.

NS 'Pose' on TV now.

Now everyone knows Saffron is out. I'm glad Karim is staying but Saffron did grow on me over the weeks.

Musicals week next time - I thought we'd already had that.

I watched 'Pose' and some of it reminded me of a place I went to in Ibiza town with my friend when we were 22. It was fun.
