    Understandable then.   Shame on them.

  • Apparently the online nastiness was started by former Strictly pro James Jordan ... think Danny was wise to call it a day.

    Blackpool week is good so far. Not sure about all the ‘extra’ dancers??

    They always have them at blackpool ... it’s a huge space to fill  :)

    some great dancing tonight ... loved Pashly’s jive  <3

    do think that Shirley and darcey need to calm down just a tad. Anyone would think they’ve never seen
    a honed and toned male body before ;)

    I'm sure that the time will come when Bruno gives Shirley a black eye! Loved Joe's nana, reminded me of mine.

    Don’t normally record Strictly if we are out but we thought Blackpool is usually good and current contestants generally doing well , so will watch it next week some time 💃🏼

    Some good stuff tonight tho I didn't like that opening dance with the retro costumes.

    I liked Stacey’s performance but didn’t see any proper salsa armography in it.  Liked Graeme’s performance too but didn’t think it was challenging enough as a choreography.   Kate’s dance was lovely but I was distracted by the “nude” webbing at the back or her bodice, holding her in a bit too tightly.   

    Thought Lauren looked amazing in that dress and make-up but can see why the judges marked her down.  Too precise and placed fo rtheir taste.   Joe Sugg was amazing in that quickstep.   Charles’ samba was impressive.  He made it look easy and it isn’t.   Loved the Pashley jive.  Faye’s Paso was very well danced but I found all the flame stuff a distraction.    

    Good dancing’s enough to get me excited.

  • I think the tight strapping on Kate was because of her rib injury.   It would help with the lifts.

    I loved Stacey's dance but there was no salsa in it.  Graham wasn't helped by the professionals doing the same moves behind him.

    Feeling ambivalent about tonight's results but on the whole, the weaker ones are going so that's OK.   I do like the way they're all trying this year and making the most of it.

    Better pros dance tonight too.  Enjoyed it.
