They’re two different Daves. The Egghead one is dead from heart disease. Her dad was a footballer.

Molly's dad Dave Rainford the footballer/manager is not the Egghead who died. Same name, but Google and Wikipedia have them all mixed up.

Ah! Thanks for that clarification - they are indeed all conflated on t'internet!

Talking of the pros - I also miss Neil Jones. I really thought he'd have a partner this year. He left way too early last year. (Am I the only fan or maybe just us gingers stick together ;-)). Sorry to see Kai go so early. And back in the day I loved Artem and James Jordan too!

Kaye was glad to go, I think. I liked what she said about Kai, and it was heartfelt. I'm sorry to see Kai out so early. I thought the Loose Women vote would save Kaye another while.

Kai and Nadiya are together - in real life 😁. I think she will be departing next with Matt. I can't fathom why Matt seems to have no musicality in him. I know being a singer wouldn't necessarily make him a good dancer but it's as if he has no feel for music in him at all. He also seems quite detached from the whole thing.

Enjoyed this weekend's show overall, a bit of sparkle! 😁

Tbf I don't think there was ever much musicality involved in Bros!

Dave Rainford the footballer and Dave Rainford from Eggheads are two different people. Mollys father is the footballer. It is the guy from eggheads that died in 2020.

Tony Adams😂

I needed a smile after watching all the harrowing news stories these past few days.

He was a joy !

Loved Hamza and Helen and Ellie S tonight too

Is it Tyler who danced the Charleston? Am useless with names , sorry , but that was brilliant in all fairness imo .

I missed a lot of tonight's dances so I'll have to watch the recording - I did see Tyler and Diane's charleston. I don't usually like charleston but it really was very good. I loved Hamza and Jowita again this week, too.

I think the costumes this year are much better than in recent years. I loved Tony's shorts!

I was surprised to see Fleur in the danceoff.

I'm surprised too, as she is a good dancer.

I don't know how popular she is in the UK, but she gets on my wick for some reason. That could be a reason why the public aren't voting for her? I'm not very impressed with her professional, either. Vito?

Shame to see Giovanni going out this early in the season as well, but I guess you can't make the final every year!

Shirley ripping the p1ss again this week by saying she would have saved the dancer who the other three judges evicted. Yeah right!

Matt Goss is incredibly annoying and crap too! His dance this week was dire and he's just so EARNEST. The earnestness of Jason Donovan and the moves of Gary Rhodes.

iamwhoiam

Nikita and Carlos dance was divine . I miss the days of yore when the Pros danced a jive or a waltz or a samba

After all that is what they are pros at

I doubt that Matt could show any other emotions! His face barely moves its so full of botox

His brother without the tupee/ hair plugs looks a million times better.

All that work done just makes him look a bit creepy

So true. And while he will never be much of a dancer, he is working hard.

I thought Craig was a bit mean with the score of 2. At the end of the day, it's an entertainment show, they are all amateurs, doing their best, and as Anton said about Tony and Katya's performance, that's what Strictly is all about. 😁

Surprised at the bottom two, tbh. Depends I suppose on how well known/ popular the participants are in their day jobs too.

Heroditas

Craig was very mean with that 2. Tony's dance was better than Matt's!

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119725051#Comment_119725051

Exactly. We all know Tony is not going to be in the final, there was no need for Craig to be so mean-spirited.

Tony's dance was worth more than a 2 just for entertainment value.

Fleur and Vito , wow 😲 amazing!

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119749180#Comment_119749180

Agree.

Matt was a bit flat footed. Not getting Jade. Comes across a bit false. Kym is better than I expected.

I don't like either Matt or Kym . Jades dance tonight was very good I thought.

Mam of 4

Hamza and Jowita, well deserved score , brilliant!

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119749256#Comment_119749256

Hamzamazing. Lovely bloke. Lots of good dancers still.

iamwhoiam

Wow wow Hamza and Jovita . That was amazing

Katyas dress was fabulous

i hate garage or whatever its called

Definitely magic dancing pills tonight, as Craig said!

My favourites were Hamza and Jowita, Molly and Carlos, and (surprisingly) Fleur and Vito. They all nailed their dances.

I didn't see Will and Nancy, or Ellie and Nikita - I'll have to watch it back. But from what I did see, maybe Johannes and Ellie will be in the dance off?

HeidiHeidi

Hamza was amazing - he's incredibly light on his feet for a big fella, he must be knackered!! And I'm loving Jowita more every week.

I loved Mollie's dance, sharp and precise, and just a different take on a cha cha cha - Craig didn't seem overly impressed, but I loved it, and I think she's brilliant.

Ellie T - WTAF did I watch there???? I was so mesmerised by the wackiness of it, I actually have no idea if it was good or bad! (But it surely has to have been better than last week?)

This seemed to be the week to start the tugging on heart strings, most of them seemed to be at it.

Poor Will sounded like he was going to keel over, i hope he gets through despite being second bottom I'm the leader board - that can't have been easy if he was even half as sick as he sounded.

I thought Fleur was great as well, really sharp - although she took one little corrective step a couple of times, and it just sort of broke the spell.

Overall a great night - I can't call it, but can't disagree with the ITT unanimous view that Matt is a goner.....

I hate garage/street music, but I just love the dancing, and I particularly love watching Diane doing it! Herself and Karen are the absolute champs of it for me.
