  • As well as being a superb dancer Anton is a great showman ... he plays his part well 😀

    Star glaze probably will watch on catch up has been a good show this year 

    Men in dresses unless a Drag show is not for me 
    OK for the professional men & women dancing together as a performance but not the contestants in my opinion

    I can honestly say, hand on heart, that l really don't know what to make of tonight's show. 
    The OTT praise for Karim - "best jive ever" ? Motsi shrieking and handing over her 10 paddle and all the rest of the judge's carry on just spoilt it for me. I really felt that they just went too far. 
    There were also problems with the online voting which led to the voting being kept open for an extra 20 minutes which has led to an online "conspiracy theory" 😁.

    So it wasn't just me!  I tried to vote - it kept saying the voting wasn't open, in spite of all the stupid nonsense when all the dancers jump around with silly costumes/faces telling you to vote "now".
    And when eventually I did get connected to the voting page, I could only vote once, because it said that I had used up all my votes. 
    Hmmmmmmmmm!

    When l first logged on, it said I'd already voted, so l logged out and back in only to get the same message. I ended up voting by phone.

    There are some very good professional singers so why, oh why, were we assaulted about the ears by Anton?  A singer he is not!  Let Craig be a Diva on stage, not on SCD.

    Very much enjoyed Chris's dance.  Kelvin was amazing - again.   Alex made a good go of that street samba but those denim shorts with bustle did her no favours at all.   Really disliked the Hairspray music and thus the dance.  Far too busy.   I like a jive to look like a jive, not gymnastics.    Still find vacuous Emma extremely irritating and underwhelming.

    The judges are now, funnily enough, being harder with their marking.  Surprise surprise.   Far too free in earlier weeks.   Can do without all the shrieking and screeching too.

    Funny that you were all talking about men in frocks last week and Craig looked very glam in one tonight! He is better looking as a woman  :D

    I really liked Kelvin and Karim tonight, Chris too although some time ago I thought he should have gone. Alex was disappointing.

    Motsi is really starting to get on my nerves.

    Trouble voting too. Managed to do it in the end.
    My whinge is that if the judges stand up at the end, that usually means a 10. It’s spoiling the surprise of the feedback and scoring for me. I think it will be a Kelvin and Karim final two. I’m guessing Alex and Neil will go this week??

  • Thought tonight's comments and marks were rather random.
    Kelvin was far better than Emma, yet the scores were the same. I also thought Kelvin was better than Karims jive. It certainly wasn't the best jive ever on Strictly. I didn't think much of it really, his spin at the end was good, but thought at least one judge would comment on his flicks.
    Motsi is getting on my nerves too and so is Shirleys fake laugh. 
    Why on earth did Motsi pass the 10 paddle over.....shes so over the top....almost as bad as Bruno.
    Thought Chris was good, he improves every week.
    Hoping Alex goes home this week as she gets on my nerves too😂😂 she's so up herself 😣
    Have no idea about the voting problem as I never place a vote. 
    Will have to watch the opening dance to hear Anton singing 😂 I'd recorded it and whizzed through all that! 😉
