Strictly Come Dancing 2024

[May Kasahara]

I thought Montell's salsa was a bit flat, sadly. Maybe it was the trainers

 

[May Kasahara]

Sarah was brilliant - really loved that routine.

The 'i' word? Incapacitated?

Wynne and Katya = bizarre.

I felt like an old boomer as Shirley was dribbling over Pete. If that had been a male judge and female contestant etc.

 

[May Kasahara]

Pete's pants! Shirley will go into meltdown .

I thought Pete was terrible. Plus he looked like a flasher in that first coat

Just got here. No words

 

[May Kasahara]

Even Ann Summers would baulk at that cheap pink vinyl.

Thank you.

 

[May Kasahara]

I mean, I know she's a ringer but Tasha was sensational. A paso is not at all the kind of dance she's done before.

She really was. I often find paso a bit boring and samey, but that was brilliant.

 

[May Kasahara]

I bet Jamie's backing dancers were delighted to find out they'd be dressed as bottles of ketchup and mustard.

 

[breadandcircuse]

The three I voted for through first .

Poor Montell. I'm blaming the trainers.

 

[BoatieBird]

Pete? WTF?

 

[MrsArcanum]

At the stage where voting for your favourite really matters now. Rather than voting to save last place from the dance off.

 

[breadandcircuse]

I think it's safe to say that both Pete and Jowita were shocked there.

Bye bye Wynn?

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Pete ... through..bollocks!!

 

[May Kasahara]

Pete ... through..bollocks!!

They probably were a factor.

Not going to check if this has been remarked on before, but it really does irk me that on the results episode they still pretend it was filmed on the Sunday instead of immediately after the live episode ends on the Saturday. The whole fucking world has long known that. Yet not only they keep referring to the performances as having taken place ‘yesterday’, but they give the hosts the judges a full wardrobe and makeup changeover. Who do they think they’re fooling?

 

[Glitter]

I’m gonna come out and say it. I like Pete.

Yes, he’s not as good as the others but he’s game as fuck and he’s trying hard. Give me a non dancer who’s learning over a Tasha any day of the week.

He’ll go this week I expect.

I’d like to see Chris, Sarah, Jamie and Montell in the final but I can’t see anyone getting past Tasha in the dance off.

I can’t see Montell making it, just because I’m not sure who her audience is so don’t think she’ll get the votes. Felt really sorry for her last night, she was really trying not to cry after that dance off.

 

[May Kasahara]

Totally agree with the learning journey being preferable. I just find him a bit creepy (sorry Pete). BUT I do think he was done dirty with that outfit, he looked genuinely uncomfortable at times. And not just because of the sweaty PVC.

 

[Plumdaff]

I don't mind Pete, I think he's got a decent sense of humour about himself and the whole palaver and seemed suitably shocked that he's still in, and I agree he's preferable to people who start good and don't improve. I can see a JB and Montell dance off possible next week, Pete's clearly got a voting base.

Many a Strictly season has the fairly dull ringer who comes last in the final and Tasha is obviously that person.

 

[Glitter]

I think they are going in hard against his miserable bastard persona and putting him right out of his comfort zone. I love how he’s just gone with it. I didn’t know who he was before Strictly and I’ve really warmed to him. Which, I suppose, is exactly why he’s there.

I also NEED that pink coat.

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

Pre-Strictly, I thought Pete was giving off some serious Russell Brand vibes. Jowita I think has handled him brilliantly - I hardly think he's the first ladies' man lothario she's encountered. Quite early on there was one of the pre-dance pieces to camera where she said something like "he's become like a brother to me" (translation - tabloids, don't get any ideas about shit stirring), and it was pretty much at that point that some of the serious mask came off and he allowed himself to go along with the sillier side.

It's a dance competition though, and 'journey' or not that dance was awful and they're very lucky to get through.

They do not pretend. They would sound pretty silly referring to "earlier tonight" when the results show is not aired until Sunday. Therefore they have to talk about yesterday or Saturday just so things make sense. The presenters and judges costume change is probably historical, and allows those promoting the dresses to get more than one bite of the cherry.

Oh dear, Sarah and Vito in the death slot, plus with the worst dance going, the Rumba. Have they pissed off the powers that be?

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Loved that! Go Sarah!

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Oh dear, Sarah and Vito in the death slot, plus with the worst dance going, the Rumba. Have they pissed off the powers that be?

It was fantastic!

 

[breadandcircuse]

I take it back, excellent from Sarah and Vito, despite the crap music. Pete's music was too. I do wish that we would get appropriate songs for the dances. It makes so much difference, and can be the difference between someone going home or not.

 

[breadandcircuse]

Well Sarah will be getting a vote this week, even though I dislike the Rumba. To be fair she does every week . JB might be getting one too depending how good the rest are. I love the Charleston, and it had proper music suitable for the dance. Good stuff.

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Best Charleston yet!

 

[May Kasahara]

Just sat down in time for JB, that was fantastic
