The best dance of Strictly…EVER! Stunning.

dont know if it’s my hungover state this morning watching it but I weeped through all of that.

its just such joyful tv. I love that Bruno is gone aswell

i would die for Johannes! Kai a close second!!

fits

Damm I missed a lot of strictly last night putting kids to bed. John and Johannes are amazing but I didn’t see last nights dance. Or the dance with Kai. Kai is amazing btw. He’ll hardly do DWTS again?

Judy & Graziano - 7s from Shirley and Motsi? Really???

Dan & Nadiya - 7 from Shirley ... FFS!! 😂

Shirley has been ridiculous so far with a lot of her marking this season. Adam was bad but certainly wasn't worse than Dan.

I think DWTS isn’t coming back at all? He is single now! I’m pretty sure he was going out with Valeria

aw they are really good friends, this is sweet

DWTS might be coming back, there's been murmurings about it recently.

Kai used to go out with Giulia Dotta. Think he's in a bromance/house share with Giovanni at the moment. The two are always sticking up stuff on Instagram.

Ah yes Giulia!

The thing about John and Johannes is that they are so comfortable together. Last year Katya and Nicola were obviously not comfortable dancing together. Whether it was Nicolas rigid frame, I can’t put my finger on it.

pinkypinky

Or is it Katya? I don't much like her pairing with Adam either and their dance was awful to terrible music from a terrible film.

Rhys & Nancy and John & Johannes were my favs of the night.

I do feel there was a lot of questionable choices for songs that didn't go with the dance or the couple. While it wasn't outstanding, doing a jive to Johnny B. Goode showed what the right music for a dance can do.

I predict AJ, John and Rhys for the final, with Tilly as a possibility.

Danceoff tonight, I predict Dan and Katie, with either to go!

fits

Who did the shrek dance last night? I enjoyed that.

HeidiHeidi

That was Sara Davies. Not my favourite, I have to say, although she certainly gave it welly!

I was almost crying to go to bed, but they saved the best for last and I was glad I stuck it out - John and Rhys were amazing, I just adored Gorka as the dalmatian, and Rose and Giovanni were the other standouts for me.

I thought Greg more Milk Tray man than 007.

Just catching up tonight. Johannes is just gorgeous, in every way. I loved him in the opening dance also, perfect for the part.

Navy blue

Really thought the wrong person went last night, while I don't think Katie is any great shakes, Judy made a very obvious mistake with the braces and only Anton flagged it. I also thought her dance was seriously lacking in content and the actual dancing parts looked very laboured. I didn't think her salsa was worthy of the high praise it got either. There was a bit of novelty value with the song choice and the twerking but I thought the comments were a bit condescending based on her being plus size.

I actually thought the marking was all over the place on Saturday, some very average dances got quite high scores. I thought John, AJ and Rose were the highlights of the night, I didn't love Rhys's dance but could see some combination of those 4 in the final.

Definitely thinks of himself as Bond. The Milk Tray man, I had him forgotten 😂

I couldn't help thinking last night, as I was catching up, that some get to look gorgeous and elegant in their costumes for Movie Week. And some definitely do not.

I will never be in Strictly, I'm not famous and I can't dance 😂 but I would much prefer to be dressed as some fairytale heroine than as Miss Piggy or Kermit or Shrek.

Robert has to withdraw due to health issues. https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/strictlycomedancing/entries/32d3940e-4e81-4c62-889e-8b5d73744bfe

HildaOgdenx

Just after hearing that, on radio. Hope he is okay. That's the main thing.

JP Liz V1

Poor Rob

fits

That’s a shame. I enjoyed his Kermit.

iamwhoiam

I am stunned that Robert didnt get himself checked out by his cardiac surgeon before starting the Strictly regime . Surely that would have been vital for him to have checked .

Navy blue

They're dropping like flies now.... Ugo and Oti won't be dancing this weekend due to a recurring back problem he has.

I wish Kai would get the rest of his teeth done!

Some good dances tonight. Nothing exceptional. Judi and Greg for danceoff, with either to go.

Think last weeks show was hard to follow up on! It was a bit lacklustre tonight

Xander10

Tuned in tonight, a bit meh

Did they actually acknowledge Robert has left on health grounds?

HeidiHeidi

Tess mentioned Robert at the start, and wished him well.

A very meh week - Dan, Rose, Tom and Sara the best of a very average lot.

Greg the worst by quite some distance - that was just jaw-droppingly bad!

Felt like a bit of a mid-series lull, hopefully they get their collective mojo back next week.

iamwhoiam

I thought tonight was very flat . Nothing to excite me at all

Heroditas

I thought Rose and Giovanni suffered from being on first. They didn't have been scored as low as they were when compared to some of them other dances.

Loved Craig's connect about Greg and the double hip replacement 😂

Agree with everyone else, it was all a bit flat. John and Johannes's dance just didn't work. Craig was on the ball with that one.

Adam and Katya's dance was pure Katya!!

HildaOgdenx

I have to catch up tonight, but saw a clip of Greg.

Sometimes there are no words... that was just awful. I will be very surprised if he is not in the dance off.

Dial Hard

Greg and Judi should be in the bottom two tonight and I'd be happy to see either of them go, they're both atrocious.

The marking was all over the place last night, imo. Rose and Gio scored lower than several couples who were objectively worse than them.

HildaOgdenx

I imagine it will be the two of them alright. And whoever stays, will be departing next week instead.

Greg was atrocious

Dan wasn't much better with some of his moves

plastic glass

jeez westlife are pure muck. Is Louis Walsh still involved with these? Those dance moves tell me he his

It was the right result. Both were awful. Judi to go next week.

iamwhoiam

Definitely the right choice . Greg was brutal

HildaOgdenx

I only saw Judi in the dance off. I haven't watched her in Saturday night's programme yet. She basically walked around after Graziano. Definitely should go next time.

I hope that Ugo and Oti are able to return.

Nancy is a bit noisy, isn’t she?

I miss Janette.

Johannes and John are my favourite couple.

Anton is Len.2

HildaOgdenx

Judi won't be participating this weekend. She has tested positive for covid.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118054441#Comment_118054441

Just seen that😥

Watching ITT with John and Johannes. They’re doing the Charleston Saturday night. I can’t wait! 💃💃

Xander10

It's a Covid cluster fcuk this year. Making it a bit pointless. Bound to happen with unvaccinated dancers

Very high standard tonight.

HeidiHeidi

Incredibly high.

Rose was my standout winner, hands down, tonight - can't believe they didn't top the leaderboard. I've watched her dance back about five times already!

Closely followed by AJ, that tango was amazing.

I was surprisingly disappointed by John/Johannes - it was perfect timing- and steps-wise - just had no atmosphere to it somehow.

Adam and Ugo have to be favourites for the dance-off - I think Dan may have dodged a bullet there!

fits

Loved Tillys foxtrot tonight. It was gorgeous.

HeidiHeidi

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118064078#Comment_118064078

She's surprising elegant of legs and arms, hands and feet - but whatever it is she does with her head, she looks like she's being mildly tortured or something.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118064055#Comment_118064055

Great summation there, Heidi. I, too felt the Charleston lacking something. Ugh, Adam or Dan in danceoff. Not a fan of Rhys and Nancy. Both a bit OTT for my liking.

HildaOgdenx

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118064087#Comment_118064087

Haven't caught up yet. Just mildly curious about your description of her being 'surprisingly elegant'?

pinkypinky

I'm still agin Adam and I didn't like that samba at all.

AJ and Kai were my favourites, closely followed by Rose & Gio.

With Judi on the bench this week, we could see a shock exit, which often happens at this stage of the comptetition.

Dan danced his best dance this week but surely Ugo & someone else for the dance-off.

iamwhoiam

Shirley gets dafter by the week , was she on the sherry ? Who did she say had a nice vertical spine ? Handy to have a vertical spine to dance I would imagine .,A horizontal one would cause difficulties!
