Im sorry but I think this is getting silly now.

Of course Paul was going to go, but we have that old chestnut again, of pitting a good dancer with a not so good one. It makes it easy for the judges :-0 :-0

What will happen in a couple of weeks when all the duff dancers are gone?

I still dont understand why the votes for the dancers are not declared. :-S

I was surprised that JB was in the dance off especially with the lovely Amy as his partner :-0

I felt sorry for Paul as he had made great strides, excuse the pun ;-) :-D. Like last week though there was only going to be one winner :-0. Both made mistakes though but Paul's timing towards the end of his dance was all over the place :-(

Well done Paul for giving it a go :-)

I agree with you Maddie :-)

I do feel sorry for the non-dancers who have improved by leaps and bounds since Week 1 but are,as per previous years, overshadowed by those who have some dance experience :-(

I like Sam and hope she has done enough to remain in the eyes of the public vote :-). I think The Judges think she has potential too with their positive feedback :-)

I do feel sorry for those that go first. At the end of a long show with a lot of dancing in between it's easy to forget the first dance but JB certainly had the energy for the Jive :-)

Shayne did some incredible lifts in his American Smooth. Credit to Nancy for being so trusting:-)

Although Tasha danced well I didn't think much of it as a Tango there didn't seem to be the intensity:-( That is not her fault more the choice of music and the choreography :-). I did think when it comes to it she will do an exceptional Argentine Tango :-D

I too thought that Sarah was Toyah at one point up on the balcony :-D. Her Samba was much better than the Foxtrot of the previous week :-)

Montell's Couple's Choice was full of life and colour and she was obviously enjoying herself :-D. I do love Johannes he is such a gent and gets quite emotional when he is praised <3

I thought Wynne did very well and for someone who is portly is light on his feet :-). It will be interesting to see him in a Charleston :-D. I have to say I feel sorry for him following the hoo-ha over last week's show and he did appear to be subdued up on the balcony :-(

Once again, I thought Chris was A-maa-zing :-D. I still can't fathom out how he does the footwork so well when he can't see how it is done :-). Once again credit to Dianne on her teaching skills :-)

For me the dance of the week was Jamie's Paso :-). I'm not really a fan of his but credit where credit is due :-). The dance was so traditional and he looked very much the matador :-)

So that leaves, in no particular order ;-), Punam, Paul & Pete :-0. All non dancers but all have improved since the series began :-). For me the two in the dance off should be Punam & Paul :-). With Punam to go :-(. After last week, though, anyone could be in the dance off:-0

Oh dear, this is becoming more difficult to choose each week, as they have all upped their game, again! :-0

I do love Sam's honesty. She knew she was not too good in her Quickstep, and made no excuses for it She said the other week, they were all there to do their best and work hard. She is a true competitor in every sense of the word, and hopefully she will be there again next week.

JB did a Jive that was snappy. Punam look beautiful in her yellow, floaty dress to a Vienese Waltz, and Tasha had a Tango.

I was slightly puzzled why Pete had to be wet for his dance, but he is coming on every week, and seems to be a likeable fellah, although I dont know much about him.

Sarah did a frantic Samba, and seemed to have morphed into Toyah :-0 Vito went into one his excitable explanations again, and even Claudia said, OK Vito, enough!

Shane did what I would call a film set American Smooth to good effect and Wynne was very lightfooted in his Quickstep.

Montell danced her Couples Choice to celebrate her heritage to great effect, it was vibrant and colourful. Lovely.

Most accomplished this week, Jamie with his Paso. Most emotional, Chris with his Waltz, there was hardly a dry eye in the house. He is amazing that man!

I think it will be Paul and Punam in the dance off, with Paul to go. But what do I know? :-0

I think it was the same old story to be honest. Pair a better dancer with a duff one, then the elimination was very easy for the judges. Cynical? Moi? Never! :-D :-D :-D

I agree about Vito. Very excitable, isnt he? The description from Ann, is spot on.

Now if we are being truthful here................my least fave went in Week 2. :-D :-D

JustGinnie, I like Sarah but as each week goes by she getting a bit more overbearing like Vito :-0

Annx, what a good description of Vito ;-)

LondonBelle

LondonBelle Report 14 Oct 2024 07:10

Well that was a surprise, Shayne in the dance off :-0.

It just shows how powerful the public vote is, nobody is really safe :-0

At one point I did wonder if Shayne was going to be in the dance off with another good pairing :-0

Once Nick was announced too it was a foregone conclusion :-(. Nick has been accident prone so perhaps it was a good result for him :-)

Me too JustGinnie. But I've gone off Vito because he is like a needy Spaniel that keeps insisting on trying to lick your face! A bit of affection is nice but he's too much!

JustGinnie Report 13 Oct 2024 18:15

I am away from home and the TV is via internet which went down a couple of times which makes for interrupted viewing. But Intoo think Nick and Putnam should be in the dance off. We shall see!

Go on JustGinnie let us in on the name of the couple, we won't tell anyone ;-) :-D

JustGinnie

JustGinnie Report 13 Oct 2024 12:27

Have to agree that it might be Punam and Nick in the dance off. I like both of them but it wasn't their week sadly. I think Nick did well considering his injury and less rehearsal time. I would like Punam to stay as she seems to be enjoying so much.
This year I don't have a favourite couple to win but there are a couple that I can't take to although they are good.

I thought Paul had upped his game and looked quite dapper in his tails, what a difference a week makes :-)

Also, in no particular order ;-), had Montell whose Viennese Waltz was elegant, Sam who was well out of her comfort zone with her sexy Samba and Pete who has got more confident each week :-D :-D

Chris was Amaazing <3. Each week he is saying to Dianne I want to do more, some of those lifts even for a sighted person would have been difficult :-)

Tasha's Charleston was fantastic but I've heard she has dancing experience so it would be expected :-)

Loved the story that went with Wynne's tango, it was very cleverly choreographed :-(

I was disappointed with Punam's Jive especially after last week's performance which I thought would give her confidence :-(

Also, Nick's Charleston wasn't particularly good especially if you compare it with Tasha's :-0

For me Punam and Nick should be in the dance off with Nick to go :-0. I think though Nick might have a huge following, I hope this isn't the case, so might be voted in by the public in which case it should be Punam voted off :-(

Gosh that was another epic last night. :-0

As usual Chris was amazing. His timing and musicality were second to none. He deserves the highest praise every week. <3

Two big surprises for me this week. Paul with his quickstep. Who knew after his novelty dances of the last two weeks. Also Pete with his Tango. Both have upped their game to a new level. :-)

Shane did a snappy Cha Cha, and Wynne with his Tango too. Both very good, but obviously different to each other. :-)

I wasnt keen on Sarah's Foxtrot, there was not enough steps for me, and an awful lot of twirling.

Montell was graceful as always with her Waltz, and Tasha gave a blast ending to the show with her Charleston. :-D

I think it may be Nick with his Charleston, which had very little content, and Punam with her Jive which I thought was sluggish, in the Dance Off.

It is another epic bum numbing show tonight :-0 :-0

Nick Knowles has been cleared to take part. So back to full strength. :-)

I agree the right result :-)

Although I thought Paul should be in the dance off, I was surprised he was as often the footballers have a huge fan base :-0

So it looks like it will be Paul next week unless he improves tremendously :-0

AnninGlos Report 6 Oct 2024 21:19

Yes good result.should be Paul next.

The right person went this week, Toyah.

I fear it will be Paul next week though. :-0
