General Chat

I agree totally with Anninglos.the choreography was nothing like a Viennese waltz as I know it.
When it started I was thinking to myself that it was too far from the elegance of Vienna!
I know a lot of the dances these days don’t follow original styles,e.g.paso doble .,

I do think Anton is trying for the comedy as he is never lucky with a partner.

I tend to agree with Annx, The viennese waltz, as it was coreographed on the night didn't showcase his strengths in dance but maybe that is because it is a delicate eligant waltz which shows off old fashioned ball gowns beautifully and Aston didn't glide. His strengths were more in the gymnastic and latin dances when he could show his fast moves.

I am not keen on Susan either, she seems to play it for laughs a lot of the time. And oh she does remind me of the crankies!! She does seem to be trying hard though and enjoying the experience.

I like Anton but he is starting to irritate a bit by milking the comedy aspect, and I don't really like Ruth, I think they should have been in the dance off instead of Molly last week.

Alexandra is OTT, she is a good dancer but is attention seeking in my opinion.

I do like Debbie, Joe and Davood, sometimes I like Jonnie, sometimes not, can't make my mind up but he certainly tries hard and doesn't seek to take advantage of his disability so I admire him for that.

Yes, Mollie did a lovely dance and deserved to go forward but I think that choreography did it for Aston. He is so talented but there was nothing in the dance that showed off his talent at all and I thought it was a boring routine. What a shame, he looked so shocked and gutted I wanted to give him a hug!

Ruth doesn't seem to be making as much effort as the others and is relying on comedy and has said she wants to make Eamon extremely jealous. She was trying both this week, but to me just ended up looking inelegant, tacky and attention seeking.

I can't take to Susan or Alexandra either. Susan really goes for it and tries, but there's something missing for me and Alexandra is good but just seems a bit wild and fast.

Now the polite and hardworking Debbie is something else and perfects everything she does! I'm so glad to see her with some different hairstyles the last 2 weeks too, far more flattering I think. She is so appreciative that Strictly has put sparkle back in her life and Paul would be so proud of her.

Whereas I agree Aston has produced some good dances the judging is about the performance on the night. :-)

The Viennese Waltz just wasn't Aston's dance and as I previous said I don't think the choreography or costume helped :-(

In the dance off Mollie seemed to step up a gear and didn't make any obvious blunders but Aston danced as he had done earlier....not very well. :-)

So forgetting the previous weeks dances, I think Shirley made the right decision to vote for Mollie as I feel she did give the better performance on the night. :-D

I think the other judges wanted Aston to stay and lose Mollie - but Shirley overruled 2 of them .

I thought he could have gone another few weeks.

Apart from Ruth, Susan and Mollie i think they will have a hard time after that.

I dont like Susan (because the only image i had of her was in that awful quiz show she was on - i hated her in that she was so rude & nasty)

I would love to see Joe and Jonnie go far and I think Gemma is a really good dancer, Debbie gives it her all - wish i was as fit as she is even when i was that fit i couldn't do half the things she can do.

Alexandra is good but cannot warm to her and i think the Eastenders chap can be good some times. Did I forget anyone?

Ruth is very popular due to This Morning and Loose Women and whatever else she is on!

It is turning into parody with her and Anton. His costumes are becoming more outrageous every week.

I just hope that a better dancer does not go before a less talented dancer.

I agree Ann,It wasn’t a traditional Viennese waltz,but that wasn’t his fault.
But the judges vote was on that dance only.It was the choreography.

Ruth and Anton must have the viewers.votes as it really should have been them. :-) :-)

Quite a surprise there but really didn’t like his Viennese waltz and Molly was very elegant. She doesn’t have a public following though

Oh no, don't say one of my faves has gone! I don't know the result, but it will be in about an hour.

Must say Debbie did herself proud again.

I am enjoying this year, as always, but there are two female and one male contestants that I just cannot warm to. Too much for me.

Off to fluff up my petticoats!!

:-D :-D

edit. Not been able to get on before this cos our connection keeps going down............must be all the fireworks. :-P :-P

Agree with LindainHerriotCountry I saw that about midnight as I don't watch the show on Sunday very often. Bit of a shock.

I wouldn’t post the results, I just was amazed

Please nobody post it on here. there will always be spoilers while they have the results the same evening and don't broadcast it until the next day.

Oh goodness, I can’t believe this weeks spoiler, I didn’t see that coming.

Didn't see all of the dances but Debbie continues to amaze me...59 no way :-D :-D

Aston disappointed ......his dances where he has to hold his partner are not at all good ....also didn't like the choreography :-(

Davood did well especially that ' bum lift' and out of all of the celebs with absolutely no dancing experience I think he has progressed the most :-D

Ruth & Anton's Paso did make me laugh...they might not have the technique but they get a 10 for entertainment :-D

Dear All

Hello

Did no one watch the dancing then?

Really enjoyed the show with the naughty antics of Anton and Ruth; but Debbie and Giovanni stole the show with their tango routine.

I love the tango dance. One of my favourite pieces of music is "La Cumparisita".

Can't imagine me doing this. I have two left feet!

Take gentle care all
With best wishes
Elizabeth, EOS

I don't watch the dance off show :-D

It was a long time coming but Simon does get a 10 for perseverance :-D :-D

Bet Susan & Jonnie were pleased :-D. Looking at Susan after her dance I think she thought her time had come :-D

That was clever, putting Simon up against Mollie. He did not stand a chance, although I think it was his time to go.

By the way, why was Karen dressed like Nancy from Oliver?

:-D :-D

Not sure how Simon has survived so long :-0

Jonnie & Susan didn't have a good evening :-(

Not a fan of Debbie's but you have to give credit where credit is due, she really is excellent :-D

Although Davood isn't in the same league as the likes of Debbie, Alexandra & Aston, I thought he did well...loved the story :-D

So for me the dance off should be between Simon & Jonnie :-(

Simon to go, Jonnie to stay :-D :-D

Well I thought the costumes were not so outlandish as they have been, so quite enjoyed them.

Debbie was a delight again, and Susan really goes for it. Not the most elegant, but really pleased to be taking part.

Surely Simon has to go this week. Possibly Ruth next, then it is every man/woman for themselves!

I love the Halloween show and the Movies show adds a bit of fun

Really looking forward to tonight not sure about the chosen music - not as fun as some years.
