Strictly Come Dancing 2024

"fit Essex guy" gives me bad vibes.

Mrs LR is “taken” with him. But -not because of this - I think there’s something off about him.

Agree. Although this is possibly part of the appeal

 

[pbsmooth]

He seems full of himself and slightly too aggy. Reminds me of too many boozed and coked up lads. But I am happy to be proved wrong. They knew what they were doing giving him the stereotypical perfect blonde partner!

 

[Me76]

I never watch TOWIE but my understanding is that was definitely his persona although he's softened that a bit as he's been out of the show.

 

[May Kasahara]

Making dinner while it's on so have only seen bits and pieces, but I loved the opening pro dance and Sam Quek looks like a contender.

 

[Boo Radley75]

Poor Paul Merson. We already know he's going to be crap but making him dance American Smooth to Vindaloo, with that choreography...

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Haven't watched this yet as the Small One I'd at Scout Camp tonight and we aren't allowed to watch Johannes without him! Quite right too!!

 

[Me76]

I loved that. Even the crap ones were good.

Watching Chris have so much fun and do so well actually made me emotional.

 

[MrsArcanum]

There were those who were not as good as they thought they would be, those that surprised themselves at how good they were, those who entertained, those Wardrobe hated (some weird skirt shapes) and some they loved.

All in all looks like Strictly as usual - though I wonder if the training supervision is to protect Jovita from Essex Pete and his womanising reputation.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Watching tonight on iplayer. I'm excited!!

 

[QueenOfGoths]

I like Claud's Princess Leia dress

 

[QueenOfGoths]

So far we've very much enjoyed Sam Quek and I really liked Nick Knowles happy disbelief that he was actually doing it!

 

[QueenOfGoths]

JB is rather good!

 

[QueenOfGoths]

I've no idea what Pete Wicks was like 'cos I was blindsided by Dave Arch playing The Prodigy

Firestarter and Vindaloo in one episode seems particularly cruel.

 

[MrsArcanum]

Firestarter and Vindaloo in one episode seems particularly cruel.

Must say the singer made a good effort at Stevie Wonder.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

I've always had a soft spot for the Merse. He wasn't great but I loved it!!

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Chris was great! That move towards the end when he was stepping over her was amazing.

And I love Montell and JoJo

 

[kalidarkone]

Haven't properly watched it. Pete Wicks makes me cringe though.

 

[Everything Goes]

Knowles injured himself while changing a tyre, so may need to sit out a week?

Nick Knowles' future on Strictly unclear after 'worst nightmare' injury

His future on the show is unclear.

I like Claud's Princess Leia dress

it feels a bit more Yoda to me!

 

[MrsArcanum]

Claudia wins the dress tonight.

 

[May Kasahara]

No question!

 

[danny la rouge]

Claudia wins the dress tonight.

Yes. Mrs LR says Tess’s looks like the valance from an 80s divan.

 

[May Kasahara]

That fringey jumpsuit is giving me unhappy sensory feedback.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Tom is lacking a little in charisma but he's from Maidenhead so HE MUST WIN!!!

Isn’t that the home of Rolf Harris?

 

[danny la rouge]

(I’ll stop now. Maybe).

 

[May Kasahara]

What on earth has Dianne done to upset wardrobe this week? They must be furious to put her in that terrible hair-clashing lilac.

 

[danny la rouge]

Dr Punam must win because she’s from Glasgow.
