Strictly Come Dancing 2021

I love Rose.

 

[colacubes]

This is going to be a tough one for whoever goes out. Any other year any of them could win. Personally I’d go Rose, AJ, John but there’s not a lot in it.

 

[paulhackett]

That was the absolute nuts. of a performance. Just joyous.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

We've voted John/Johannes, as I don't want any violence , AJ and Rose

 

[QueenOfGoths]

There's been a discussion here as to whether it should be Argen-teen or Argen-tyne Tango.

Mr. QofG's, on the sole basis he's played Juan Peron in "Evita" , reckons it's Argen-tyne!

 

[May Kasahara]

Rose and AJ = queens of the series.

 

[May Kasahara]

My ears though! Dreadful!

I said to Mr K "I'm sure they've murdered this song before on Strictly".

 

[Sapphireblue]

Wow. AJ’s quickstep was fast. She just didn’t stop moving, endless spinning and then a load of kicky bits as well. 40. FINALLY.

Not sure about the modern dance. I find them a bit try hard at the best of times and then that song is so over used on tv as a lazy shorthand that emotions are happening I found it hard to get into it. I could tell it was technically good and I liked the lifts apart from the walking in step upside down which just made such an ugly shape for the torsos.

Beautiful waltz from Rose.

Felt like Rhys’ technique on everything on the samba was right. I hate his moustache.

Decent rumba for AJ.

Hated that song for JoJo’s jive. Made it feel like the dance never really got going. Loads of great bits but the song ruined it for me. Amazing sparkly tops and did feel like John was a bit freer in his movement.

Loved that Argentine tango. Such great choreography, I don’t always like this dance style but it was brilliant.

i feel for Rhys cos any other year he'd have made it to the final but i can't see it happening.

 

[trashpony]

That was fun. As was shouting ‘gone’ at the telly during the intro. I can’t believe I’m not done that before

 

[Storm Fox]

Everyone on there saying 'On Saturday' annoys me a lot more than it should.

I notice Anton not changed since 'yesterday'

 

[danny la rouge]

Fucking yes!

 

[QueenOfGoths]

It has to be Rhys in the dance off with JJ

 

[danny la rouge]

Rhys really good there. I don’t know if I can call this!

 

[QueenOfGoths]

That's close but I'm going John and Johannes as I enjoyed it more.

 

[colacubes]

Oh man. This is tight.

 

[danny la rouge]

Right call I think, overall. But on that dance off I wouldn’t have known who to pick.

 

[BoatieBird]

It could have gone either way, but I'm happy with the final three.

 

[colacubes]

Any other year he could have won with that.

 

[Saffy]

That was the best dance from someone leaving the show.
I'm happy with the final 3 though.

 

[Storm Fox]

I'm going to miss this year's Strictly terribly, it's been a fantastic year for the show, and pure escapism from Covid and this government and all the other shit that's going on.

 

[trashpony]

I feel sad for Rhys as he was getting so good. But I would have been sadder to not see J&J through

 

[belboid]

Wow. Only just been able to catch up and what a fucking episode!

AJ is just totally awesome and out of this world. I thought the dress got in the way sometimes cos it stopped me seeing the footwork, but when it looked good it looked wonderful.

She couldn’t be topped and J&J didn’t quite, but that bloody ‘your popular support’ bit was annoyingly moving. As someone who turned teen in 1980 i can’t help thinking that anyone not straight as hell who turned teen in this millennium is lucky as fuck. The fact that there’s still so far to go and that it took so long to have two men dancing together like that on prime time Saturday is sadly shocking. I loved that contemporary dance too. It was properly contemporary (in several spots), not crowd pleasing street dance or disco, but proper Michael Clark contemporary!

What could be better? Only bloody Rose with an incredible waltz and then a just sublime Argentine tango. Truly out of this world and proper pro.

Ohh, Rhys was in it too. He was very good and, as already noted, would have been a well worthy finalist in any other year. His insistence on saying Nancy’s name properly, Xu YouJie, was a really nice touch.

The only problem with this series is that’s it’s made bloody Anton quite decent.

This!
I like him as a judge and I haven't really missed Bruno...
I wonder what they'll do next year?

I have. The funniest thing I ever saw on strickly was Bruno falling off his chair, i nearly fell off the sofa I laughed so much

I saw her on ITT yesterday and she was very upset. I really hope they don't try and get her through it and then possibly she ends up with worse damage.

I really wish they could just postpone the whole thing for a week!

i'd much rather watch the actual final on christmas day than the canned festive bullshit episode!

I don’t watch that. It’s worthless.
