    I think lousy costumes help them go faster than they would with a good one.

  • I think Adam Peaty just has a big behind because of his swimming muscles - gluteus megamus...
    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
  • Just thought I’d mention that there were lots of fireworks around the village before and after Strictly … but not a single one during the show. 💃 🕺

  • @AnniD 😉

    Wow! Wasn't AJ brilliant!!! 😍😍
    Loved Rose too. Giovanni is absolutely brilliant with her.
    I agree about Adam @Liriodendron
    Loved John and Joannes
    Think some of choreography  is to blame as well as some of the awful costumes.
    Have a feeling it could be Dan and Adam in the dance off. 
  • I think Rose was my favourite,nice dress too,really liked her Samba moves, then AJ,who was amazing,then the Rumba. Not keen on Dan or Adams efforts.
    The whole truth is an instrument that can only be played by an expert.

    Thought that John and Johannes might struggle with the Rumba but they pulled it out of the bag it made me laugh that they could do such a sensitive dance and then when they ran up the stairs with a clump clump clump. Agree with fidgetbones Adam would have looked better without the jacket. Dan and Sara might have come to the end of their improvement phase I didn't rate Sara's dance but the judges seemed to love it, too much flatulating about at the start and finish as Len would have said. Rose and AJ were brilliant they are keeping the standard up week after week. Loved Tom and Amy's costume and the paso wasn't too shabby either, I always think that the safe option is to dance to traditional music. Rhys average again I can't help thinking that he is too hard on himself but he looks to have natural talent. Love Tilly's acting ability very dramatic.
    Our votes went to AJ, Rose and Tom.

    Voted for Rose as thought she was great plus she wasn’t high on the leader board. AJ was fantastic too. I also liked J&J - beautiful again, but they keep being too emotional after dancing which, for me, is making them look a bit self-absorbed.

    Sometimes the judges scoring leaves me flabbergasted, l know it's all subjective but l find myself wondering if we were watching the same thing. One my friends said that the trouble with dishing out 10s so early on (particularly Shirley and Motsi) leaves them with nowhere else to go.
    I think it was John and Johannes (although l'm not 100% sure) who implied on ITT that it was a 10 from Craig that really means something. 
    Loved their rumba, the stillness of it, plus Rose's Samba. I'm afraid Tom and Amy's paso outfits left me cold.
    Personally l am hoping for a final with Rose, John and AJ. If any of them won l wouldn't mind, but Rose would be my choice.

    Just watched Strickly , I thought AJ’s was the best and I liked Rose's dance 
    John & Johanas was also very good , no really bad ones 

    It will be interesting to see who’s is dance off tonight 

    Thought the CGI was very good

    I don't want CGI, no matter how clever.  It should be about the dancing and filming it so we can see as well as the judges can.

    I think J & J get so metional because they're doing so well at something that's really quite hard.  Much easier to make a dance look good when half the couple is in a sexy or floaty dress to enhance the dance.  Much harder for too big blokes to pull off romantic but they did.  That rumba was just beautiful.
