On the straight basis of the dance off, wrong decision. Jamie was way off, many many mistakes

Glad I'm not the only one who feels that way.

And who let that supposed artist murder "Climb Every Mountain" ?

Yeah! I'd never heard of Marisha Wallace before, apparently she is big in musical theatre in America. Perhaps she'd do better to stick to that. I also didn't catch from what musical the opening dance came.

I thought overall Jamie danced better than JJ but it was close, could have been either. I expect Jamie will be out next week. Looking forward to seeing JJ in ITT tomorrow, he did really well.

The musical is some kind of take on Shakespeare, details here:

I'm thinking that Bill has reached a plateau in his efforts now and it will be between him and Jamie next week.

I haven't been watching Strictly this year but I did watch the Sunday dance off this week. Just on the basis of watching the two unfortunate couples, I also think the wrong decision was made. I also agree that the 'Climb Every Mountain' singer was disappointing, She seemed to vary between being far too quiet for the quiet beginning  to belting it out little better than a pub singer.
All in all I was disappointed, although I realise that an atmosphere without an audience is very hard to create.

There is an audience every week, not as big. Can't say that I've noticed much difference on that score. I did notice a difference in Blackpool week, that was less spectacular than usual which it obviously would be without Blackpool! Still a good show though.
Watching It takes 2 in kitchen at the moment, JJ coming over very well.

I only saw last 35 minutes tonight but did vote. I'll catch up with the beginning later.

On ITT yesterday I wondered what on earth the make up department did with poor Beverley Knight's eyes!

Was very impressed by Beverley Knight's singing.


Enjoyable show but oddly for a series where I think the overall standard has been the highest I have seen, other than Maisie and HRVY's charleston that was not as good as some semifinals.

I was distinctly underwhelmed by the semis.

All of the contestants seemed over marked to me. I'm fed up with Motsi's distracting tops. Her body moves but the dress doesn't. What's that all about?

Also fed up with Shirley (this routine will go down in history) Ballas, she has lost the right in my mind to be head judge with her use of hyperbole every single week.

Craig is the only one maintaining any kind of grip on reality.

I could have been in a really bad mood of course. But him indoors felt the same.

I think you were in a funny mood Trent. I'm like that sometimes, things just pass me by. However I enjoyed the show.

Great final. Thought Bill would win. Would have been happy with Maisie and HRVY.


Jamie did well.

Just how I felt NS. I could cry now. Lovely for Oti. They were all so good tonight and there was a very high standard throughout the show.

Pleased with the result.

Hrvy and Maisie were, I thought, better dancers, but Bill had the advantage of a more winning back story.

Complete novice, didn't have the advantage of youth, worked at it really hard. People warmed to that I think.

I'm watching it at the moment & feeling a bit flat, nobody's fault. My parents, in laws, uncle and aunt got together every Saturday night at one of their houses to eat on trays and watch Strictly :), I keep thinking of them, all gone now except uncle and he went up to Filey a couple of weeks ago, still there.

I don't know most of the celebs except Sarah, Rose, the McFly chap and Greg Wise. Looking forward to Johannes of course. Oh Katy, I know her! She's about to perform.

Next week I'll probably perk up.

Later:  Johannes.....wonderful.

The rest were excellent, can't remember their names.

If I chose to watch Strictly, I would have to support Ugo Monye, former England and Harlequins winger and presenter of the BBC Rugby Union Weekly podcast. Last week he was telling the other presenters what is required for Strictly. He put in more than 40 hours of rehearsal for his dance that was 90 seconds long or 26 minutes of rehearsal for each second of the routine.

 :D  Er no but just hours before the show. He dedicated his dance to his late father.

He has also just split from his wife, no third parties involved and they are friendly. They have two very young children, the youngest still a baby. I get the impression lockdown made things difficult for them both. Who knows they may back together before too long.

I forgot all about ITT tonight. Maybe catch up before bed time.

Everyone was so concerned today with fuel shortage, Strictly thoughts went out the window!  I danced to work, to off site appointments & back home again. Pounds lighter.

Some excellent dancing tonight. Felt Dan Walker was over marked and Adam Peaty undermarked but they're not going to be there down the way. 35 for fourth in Week 3 though means there isn't many places to go. Loved John and Johannes, and Rose and Giovanni.

I'm just happy that Ugo is still in it.
