Bit of a mixed bag for me last night to be honest. Not ashamed to admit that l had a tear in my eye after Will and Janette's dance (not as bad as Motsi though !) . I start watching slightly behind the live programme so fast forwarded through 95% of Mike and Katya. I prefer Alphonso to Bruno and feel that Craig is the last voice of reason in the madhouse .....
Some lovely surprises this week with Emma and Alex finally getting it and dancing really well. Loved Will and Jeanette's dance. Prefer Paso with proper music and I think it helps the performances too. I don't think Katya's choreography is very good this year. She's usually much more inventive at playing to her partner's strengths.
Alphonso is fun and makes good comments but marks too high. Motsi is good, constructive and positive and yes, Shirley is much better this year. Craig is consistent and more objective than the others.
The right two were in the dance off and the right one went on the night. Let's hope t'other goes next week.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

The right two were in the dance off. Which is a good thing. Quite often there's a good dancer going home early. Either one could have gone tonight, I must admit I was hoping the one that stayed had gone. But he'll probably go next week anyway. Alphonso did score quite high, but shame he's not judging again next week. Get fed up with Bruno at times.
No idea who Mabel is either but know the song as it's played a lot on radio here. She sang in English and yes, it did start very quietly.
Bruno is hilarious but tends to over play himself these days. He does make good comments tho, just too many theatrics. I like Alphonso and his approach to judging even if he does score too high.

@Hazel-1, glad it wasn't just me ! Being of "the older generation", l had no clue who Mabel was. OH accuses me of being deaf, (although he doesn't realise it is of course selective deafness ), so when she started singing l thought he was right ! I couldn't make out a word. Possibly the way she was stood right on top of the microphone had a bearing on it . Then the audience started whooping when the dancers appeared - l was in a right grump. I agree with @star gaze lily, the right 2 were in the dance off. I could never make out if the one that went was really enjoying it or not, to be honest. Still, Halloween week next time, a chance for the make up and costume departments to go mad in the time honoured style 😁
Agree with various comments , Shirley seems more relaxed , Motsi has fitted in well , Alfonso was good , as Brono’s jack in the box gets a bit tedious and Craig seems positive
G B P put the correct 2 in the Dance Off , both not good but the worst of the 2 went out
I'm afraid I didn't listen to Mabel at all, as I always record Strictly and whizz through a lot of it. Unfortunately I whizzed through Mabel, might have to go back and listen now.....or try to 😉😂
Just whizzed through and found Mabel.........and I must add, I've no idea who she is either! 😂😂 Yes I agree, she could be singing in a foreign language......no idea what she's singing, especially once the dancers come out and the audience start cheering 🙄
Lots of fancy Graphics for Halloween 🎃 , a good show I thought the Bunny Dance strange ! I could understand what Craig was saying but must be difficult to dance 💃🏼 to strange graphics & themes Not sure who will be in Dance Off tomorrow
