Too much faffing at the start of that Jive. Choreography was weak

Tip for contestants. Don’t try to make the judges interview into a comedy ‘moment’. 🤫

Clumsy and clunky. The tango can be more rigid but this is too wooden

Don't know about that Paso. Awful vocals. Bad wig. But some good foot work.

She is making lots of mistakes in this cha cha. Lacking a lot

Great foxtrot when they got into the dance proper.
She is classy

Another bad music choice for a tango. The flying was pointless.
He was completely overshadow by Oti.

Kevin showed he is human and can make mistakes. The choreo was not impressive. Not enough dance content.
She did well to cope with the change of partner. But it wasn't great choreo whoever ended up dancing it

Addams family number was the hit for the evening of me - brilliant performances, choreography and a big whiff of nostalgia for me.
I could see Catherine being in the bottom two, unless she's got a huge fan base. Just not memorable - she hardly ever captures the dance. Some of the concepts like the rabbit and cards were quite strained.

I think there’s too many couples now who are just ok and in the middle, often not very memorable. Not a great week overall. I thought Alex did very well with the last minute change of partner, she didn’t seem fazed at all. Fair play to Kevin for stepping in at the last minute. Chris may not be the best dancer but is always entertaining. Shame for Will having to miss this week, I hope he’s back next week. Mike had too much walking round and not enough actual dancing.

What with all the tangos? What about a waltz, an American smooth or someat other than a tango or a cha cha cha of which i am heartily sick.

It was an unbalanced programme in terms of dance choices. But also a bad programme in terms of the music chosen for those dances (and with some of the singing that went along with them - particularly for Small Town Boy - which is one of my fave songs of all time)

Yeah, I noticed it's been a little tango heavy and even some non-tangos were were Tango-ish/Tango-lite.

Three generations were watching on my sofa and between us we only liked one song. ( I’m Never happy with the singing which at best is old fashioned wedding singing)

Interesting the BBC just showed a trailer for tonight's results show, featuring the couples in Halloween costume and Tess's voice saying "The first couple in the dance off is..". I thought we were supposed to believes that was all about to happen live!

I didn’t get why we had the White Rabbit and Alice, and the King and Queen of Hearts represented last night. What has Alice in Wonderland got to do with Halloween?

This isn't the first time they've just had someone dressing up in a costume for a Halloween dance. I mean these days Halloween costumes aren't just ghouls, ghosts and the like.

One thought crossed my mind regarding Will, it's the Paralympics next summer when he'll likely be a leading contender again so if he has this knee issue he may be very reluctant to jeopardize his chances there. Factor in his existing condition and all the operations he had on his feet when he was young so he may just feel that the risk of damaging his medal chances isn't worth rushing to return to Strictly.
Hopefully this isn't the case but I think if he has to put his sport first then no-one should criticize him.

They had Mike and Katya on Take 2 just now saying how the dance off was best that had done it blah deblah, justification for actually being not so good, looking ridiculous and still being in.

Is it that much of a shock that they kept Mike and Katya given their dance got more points in the first place.
I mean what value to the BBC get from keeping in someone not popular enough to avoid the dance off more than once.

Did you see the headline “Catherine Tyldsley Lashes Out At Strictly Judges”?
turns out that “lashing out” means liking a sympathetic tweet by Hayley Tamaddon on Twitter. 😆

BurlyBeaR - a perfect example of how crazy social media is. Some folks trawl through people's likes trying to discern some hidden agenda. If you are like me on twitter, probably a third of your likes are accidents when scrolling!

Just been confirmed that Will sadly has to withdraw completely. No word yet on what they'll do about eliminations going forward.

I'm going to miss him. A joy to watch every week. At least he got to do his contemporary dance while he was still in the show. They should bring him back for one of the one off specials.

Ah such a shame for Will. He was definitely one of the most interesting to watch. I think they should just have 3 in the final, there’s no need for 4 couples.
