I’m definitely enjoying it more than last year in the sense that last year it was pretty obvious Kelvin was gonna win right from show 1

I agree in that sense even though it does seem more of a dull season this year with there being no audience, extra dancers, no halloween or blackpool week etc it makes it more exciting because its not 100% certain who is going to win this year compared to last year when it was practically Strictly come Kelvin & Oti.

I’d just love it if Bill won, he always makes me smile.

I hope he doesn't because I don't get the hype about Bill at all; I like the fact he's trying his best and committing to it but I think the fact hes been overmarked has spoiled his journey for me. I think if he was in a regular series he would be scored accordingly.

I hope either Maisie or Ranvir takes it this year.

I have ulcerative colitis, finally in my 1st remission! Biologics are amazing thats for sure. I felt so sorry for her when she opened up about her most recent flare on her program. I kinda 'get' why she seems to be very competitive, i dont know if its the same with her but it feels like you need to have apart of your life that doesnt revolve around tests, meds, appts etc

Biologics are the best! I'm on infliximab through an IV drip every 8 weeks and it's changed my life. Best of luck with your treatment, and congrats on being in remission ❤👏🏻

I can't imagine being a dancer like Amy and being in a flare-up. I could barely walk/get up the stairs when I was ill, so I couldn't imagine being her and doing dance competitions! I've just seen she has a documentary about her experience with the illness on iPlayer, I'll have to give it a watch.

Im on adalimumab, i inject at home once a fortnight and its worked miracles! Ahh thank you! I hope you stay well and it continues to keep you as fit and well as can be.

Her documentary is eye opening, its very interesting. She had her fiance record her in a flare and i truly felt so sorry for her. Her symptoms differ from mine, but a flare is never nice for any of us. Shes very strong and amazing.

If Harvey was dancing in a west end musical, i'd be happy to go see it.
If that lady who performed "climb every mountain" was singing - I wouldn't be happy at all.

Marisha Wallace, she is quite famous in Musical Theatre circles as normally she is very good and worth a trip out for!
Whoever told her to sing Climb Ev'ry Mountain though, wants shooting! It was awful!

The whole &Juliet piece was awful as well though, that is one of the few shows I've not seen yet but based on that performance I absolutely wouldn't bother.

I cam confirm having seen Marisha Wallace twice that she is fantastic and has an incredible voice but that was absolutely not her song and I have to admit she really wasn't great. She was fantastic in Waitress!

Also i saw & Juliet not long before theatres closed and it's fantastic, so funny and the actors and ensemble are incredible. I felt like there were much better songs they could've done and I was surprised by the choice of songs (it's not one of my favourites on the album) but would 100% recommend the show (and soundtrack).

Maybe the Strictly set automatically ruins any singer's voice 😂

I'm the same I hope either Maisie or Ranvir win too.

I know Maisie has previous dance training & what not, but she is doing proper complicated routines, as well as working on Eastenders & is just a young girl, as well as getting so much hate. Hrvy also has dance training far more then he & Janette are making out & his routines are easier & he is getting over marked every week. Like getting two 10's for his dance on Saturday was ridiculous, when he clearly made numerous mistakes & yet the judges didn't point out any mistakes made by Maisie & she didn't get any 10's.

Ranvir is also working a full time job & getting up at like 3 am everyday & is a single parent to young son, yes her mother is helping her with childcare & that, but it's still alot of stuff on top of Strictly. I know she has done quite a few slower routines, but if like Bill, she wasn't working or had a young child she would be able to do the high energy dances.
 
Just listening to the radio, Plan B - She said and Adele - Rolling in the Deep would make great Tango/Paso.. What songs would you like to see on Strictly?

Maybe a producer is reading and will take note, as the songs just keeping getting worse and worse 😄😉

Diamonds on the Soles of her Shoes (Paul Simon), Knights of Cydonia or Uno (Muse, the latter would make a GREAT tango), Greedy (Ariana Grande), I’m Still Standing (Elton John, maybe jive?), I Want it Darker (Leonard Cohen, ARGENTINE TANGO!!). Would also love to see more traditional songs/pieces, especially for the Latin dances.

Remember Jill Halfpenny's jive to 'I'm still standing'? that was amazing

I often think about what song I'd choose for each dance if I were to ever be on strictly. I wouldn't wanna be the poor sod doing a paso to some unsuitable ed sheeran song 😂😂

Does anyone else remember Scott Maslen and Natalie Lowe's jive? I think its one of the best ever done on strictly and nobody ever talks about it!!
