Strictly Come Dancing 2021

[May Kasahara]

Rhys really suits the Argentine tango, that was great.

 

[goldenecitrone]

Hotel. Oscar. Tango

 

[Glitter]

Rhys even managed to make that boring.

Eta - looks like I’m in the minority. It was really well done but just left me flat.

 

[Glitter]

Nancy looks amazing.

I thought that too. It was amazing for the technicality of the lifts, but I just didn't grab me.

 

[May Kasahara]

Just noticed Tess's dress has got a big random slash in one shoulder. It's not really working.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

I loved Rose's dance!

Me too.

Yes, this exactly. Rhys seems like a really lovely guy but he’s not very charismatic I think.

 

[May Kasahara]

I loved Rose's dance!

Me too, they are just so cute and she is such a beautiful, expressive dancer.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

AJ did seem a bit uncertain at times in that, I don't think it was really her dance but I'm going to vote for her as she deserves to be in the semi final

 

[trashpony]

Oh no, poor AJ. I will also be voting for her. I want her in the final.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

We've gone John, AJ and Rose here.

I'm hoping Dan will go but who knows!

 

[belboid]

I hope AJ is in the dance off so we get to see her get it right. Well, almost.

Rose & Rhys are through surely. It’ll be interesting to see which couple joins Dan. It fucking better be joins Dan.

 

[RubyToogood]

Watching late... I didn't think Rhys was that great really. It was a terrific routine and he nailed the lifts, but his own steps weren't very elegant.

 

[Me76]

I want an AJ, Rose, Johannes (not bothered about John) final.
Unfortunately, with the dances this week I think it might make me grumpy tomoz

 

[felixthecat]

I hope AJ is in the dance off so we get to see her get it right. Well, almost.

I'm with you here. I'd love to see them nail the last lift!

But it would have to be against Dan so she'd sail through...

Hopefully

Rhys deserves to get through to the semi final, but to go out then. I’m hoping it’s Dan to leave tonight but I’m worried for AJ!

 

[Guineveretoo]

I would have liked to have seen both dances with the errors again - so John and AJ - but that would mean losing one of them, so I guess/hope we will see AJ again and, assuming they get the lifts and the landings right, she will be through and Dan out.

I think Dan has been great, but it is his time to leave.

 

[Sapphireblue]

I was thinking it was brave of the singers to attempt that intro song, then realised it was a guest singer. then Dave Arch’s singers gloriously fucked up the dramatic harmony bits. Back to normal service.

Salsa for JoJo. Oh dear, another one where Johannes completely outshines John with his energy and he practically crow-barred himself up into that lift (although it was apparently Johannes’s fault!). John was good but nothing compared to Johannes.

Rhys was really good this week. Impressive lifts. He’s another one who’s had a ‘journey’ as he showed such initial promise and then has been super inconsistent ever since.

Rose adorable again.

Poor AJ with the cursed salsa also. On the plus side all she has to do to win the inevitable dance-off is nail that lift.

 

[Petcha]

Deleted!

 

[Storm Fox]

Hey, Petcha could you spoiler that?

 

[Petcha]

Hey, Petcha could you spoiler that?

Sorry, good call.

 

[Glitter]

Sorry but I think Dan was robbed there. AJ is the better dancer by a mile but in that dance alone I thought Dan nailed his dance and AJ made a few nervy mistakes.

He was never getting through a dance off though.

 

[trashpony]

I disagree. And I’m really pissed off at his lack of graciousness.

I’m more pissed off at Kai who gave AJ a stupidly difficult and unnecessary routine

 

[danny la rouge]

Yeah, her landings from the lifts were much better this time. It was a marked improvement and a much harder routine. She had to go through.

 

[belboid]

naah, its about the balance between getting everything right and the difficulty level. Doing a simple routine perfectly will b=never be as good as doing a really hard routine pretty damned well. It was obvious as soon as she was in the dance off that everything would hang on whether she pulled off that final lift. And she did. The beginning was worse than earlier (I refuse to say 'last night') and she messed up the same earlier lift earlier again. But just had so much more content in it.

Which you would rather watch again?

 

[belboid]

I must admit I was literally on the edge of my seat watching tonight. I half saw Petcha's post and was seriously worried. Quite absurd.

 

[trashpony]

I didn’t like the choreography tbh. AJ has very long spindly legs and I think she looked a bit wobbly /bambiesque in some of it.
I also would have preferred them to do a more trad salsa. It’s one of my favourite dances

 

[pbsmooth]

Hallelujah Dan has gone. Nice guy etc but not on the same level as the others.
