    Loving, just LOVING both Bill and Caroline.
    Maissie's dance tonight though was unreal.
    Hate to be controversial but Nicola and Katya were grossly overmarked. However anyone who has read my comments over the years here will know I can't stand those dances. It's all self-indulgent nonsense IMHO
    Anton. Oh Anton...

    Have to catch up on the second half yet, have watched the first six.

    Anton knows that they will be lucky to survive round one, I think. Having said that, he looks totally relaxed and happy.

    I miss Bruno. I know some people say he is over the top, or whatever but he added something to the judging panel.

    Have to say, it's a real antidote or bit of escapism, in these gloomy times, the sparkle and glamour. Well done to all who made it possible.

    Yeah, I miss Bruno too.


    I feel like Motsi has been given the "highest-scorer-in-the-absence-of-Bruno" role.


    The two young'uns are brilliant, I wonder what it'll take to trip them up?


    Apart from Jacqui, there are no complete shockers this time - the standard is definitely higher overall, I usually spend until about week 5 peering from behind the couch at half of them!

    Also, I normally hate the couples choice dances, especially that freestyle sort (I'm sure there's a name for it, but not like the theatre jazz, or street style ones where it's an actual style of dance) - it's usually a lot of self-indulgent nonsense IMO - but I have to say I thought Nicola and Kayta's dance was fantastic, I really loved it!

    Fair play to Karen. Despite being the pro, she made an even bigger mess of their dance in the dance-off.

    Also, they're bugging up a "special Remembrance Weekend show" next week.
    I'm going to go out on a limb here and reckon JJ and Amy will do a magnificently cringy WW2 special with JJ in uniform and Amy dressed as a Wren. Plenty of Union Jacks thrown in as well.

    My husband thought she was the celebrity last week. I don't think she's a good dancer at all and I find her choreography very boring.
    Loving Bill, I thought his dance was fantastic.

    I know I say it all the time, but Anton can't teach. And no one should be doing the samba in the second week. I'm not sure they should do the samba at all.

    Agree with Heroditas above about couple's choice. There have been some amazing routines to come out of it but mostly it's just wanky barefoot emoting with some leaps in the air.

    Definitely the right result.

    I feel very slightly bad criticising anyone's dancing, knowing I would be one hundred times worse :D but Jacqui had no natural rhythm at all, imo.
    She seemed to be even out of sync as she was singing along to the song.

    Just watched the result show and Jacqui was definitely singing out of sync.

    Only Oti should be allowed do samba. :P Hard to find fault with Danny and Kelvin’s. :D I’m off to watch Oti and Danny on You Tube again.

    I’m sure that there’s a word for that sort of behaviour! Strictly porn (Not to be mistaken for this! https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-8903199/Strictly-stars-sex-tape-resurfaces-online-X-rated-private-film-leaked-porn-site.html)

    I thought that was fairly average from Nicola. Only Craig spoke the truth.

    Very little dance content in that for Caroline.
    I feel I could have done that and I can barely move around the floor.

    Loved the opening dance, very poignant this week. Giovanni looked lush in that white jacket.

    He looked like a chicken and only half did some of the moves
