I know who is out but won't say. It will not come as a surprise but the other person in the bottom two didn't deserve to be there.

Excellent show.

How would you know? The spoiler sites no longer have the access they did because there is no audience

Well didn't like that result.

I thought Max was better than Maisie.

Nearly Sane · « **Reply #102 on:** November 15, 2020, 09:08:28 PM »

I agreed with the result. It does mean that JJ is getting a lot of public votes

It does. Uniform, services, sympathy. I like him but he was the weakest link.

I read that it was between Max and Maisie with Max being eliminated. I've no idea where it came from but the person who said it was right.

Both couples danced very well in the dance off and I felt sad for them. I like JJ but he was the weakest.

My understanding is that the spoiler sites are running public votes and using them to predict the result as opposed to the leak from before. I think that means they are not as reliable but so far they seem to be correct. The cynical part of me wonders if there is still a mole.

That Maisie's vote is so low from the public is interesting. She was originally the favourite but now from an original 50/1, the favourite is now Bill

Agree. It's still a hugely high standard to have 19 from 3 judges as bottom at this stage. JJ has a powerful story and at least he isn't a joke dancer.

I did wonder if Ranvir might be in the bottom 2 this week.

Good show again tonight. Bill is still my top man. My in-laws and uncle are still talking about it :-), they always got together, with my late parents and aunt, and watched it each week in eachother's houses, taking it in turns to make an early supper. Now they sometimes come to me. They love Bill, Caroline and Ranvir. I just heard "Maisie is sweet" :-). Anyway I'm signing off now to take them home. Hope my fellow posters who love Strictly also enjoyed tonight's show.

Nearly Sane · « **Reply #108 on:** November 21, 2020, 09:25:58 PM »

Very high standard tonight. Enjoyed it.

Nearly Sane · « **Reply #109 on:** November 22, 2020, 08:06:39 PM »

The right, if sad decision. People seem to not like Maisie. I presume that it's related to her having had dance training.

Also she appeared, or so I read, in the Christmas Strictly last year, which would also give her an advantage. So it looks a little unfair somehow.

Robbie · « **Reply #111 on:** November 25, 2020, 07:54:30 PM »

I haven't voted so far but will vote for Maisie on Saturday, she shouldn't have been in the bottom two. Lots of previous contestants have done a bit of dancing before but aren't dancers as such (tho' Debbie McGee was a professional dancer). I was sorry to see Caroline go, liked her but I like them all!

Robbie · « **Reply #112 on:** November 28, 2020, 09:02:02 PM »

JJ lovely tonight in his kilt. Very moving performance.

Maisie has my vote tonight, wow!
I couldn't vote, was too late by a few minutes.

Quite. When you thought they couldn't get any camper. They did

Johannes is amazing

Robbie · « **Reply #116 on:** December 05, 2020, 08:14:19 PM »

He is, certainly was in tonight's opening dance (whih I presume is the Priscilla dance you're talking about, I didn't notice the name).

Loving it.

PS: That was the quickest hour&abit show ever! Seems like I only just put it on and it's over. S'pose it's best to leave us wanting more.

Robbie - if you've never seen Priscilla try to. It is a wonderful watch with Guy Pearce and a wonderful Terence Stamp in drag.

Life affirming in a way that the Australians do rather well.

To be fair that's the film rather than the musical but alk wonderful.

True - but the film was half way towards being a musical.

Robbie · « **Reply #121 on:** December 05, 2020, 09:38:27 PM »

I didn't know about the film but having now read about it, doesn't appeal to me.

Here is tonight's Strictly 'Priscilla' dance but you have to wait three minutes before seeing Johannes. I've just watched it again.

I suspect it will be farewell JJ. Thought it was Bill's worst dance of the series. Think HRVY was overmarked.

Agree, in my mind I thought JJ & Bill in the dance off. Both HRVY & Maisie seem to me to receive ecstatic remarks from the judges that are not quite deserved. Still it is a show that excels in hyperbole so what more should I expect. Shirley has at least twice said that a particular dance she has watched this year is the best she has ever seen. My reaction was really?

Nearly Sane · « **Reply #124 on:** December 06, 2020, 09:07:53 AM »

I think the dance off will be JJ and Jamie.
