.... only costume I didnt know was Karens 🤣 I think thats the only one I'm missing

(I love horror movies so I was intruiged when I saw IT etc appear in it and probably paid too much attention evidently)

BBC producers have played a long game with this. They knew that they want same sex couples to be included. Last year, two females - one of them National treasure, Nicola Adams. Non-threatening to middle England. That was the toe in the water. At the same time, start prepping for two males. Employed Johannes, but paired with non-threatening Caroline Quentin. Threw in a bit of drag to get the viewers acclimatised. Then a search for a Celeb. John said he knew he was doing SCD In January- I suspect he has been lined up way before then. Since then John is almost unrecognisable from his natural self. Looks twice the size, dyed hair, new teeth, fake tan.He has been preparing the way - the producers had the Celeb partner as being the stronger of the two, as Johannes is slight, and he has bulked up in advance so he can do the heavy lifting. All planned out to get us to this point. Ideally they would like them to win, but Rose has scuppered them.

I always felt that Anton and Emma Barton were meant to win their series. Then Jamie Lang got injured and was replaced by Kelvin. Who won the series on dance one!!!

But I honestly feel this year they're not bothered. As someone else said, the front runners are deaf, black and gay, so win win.

The only problem will be if Tom McFly wins 😱😱😱
 
I saw someone on Twitter say they have a theory that Strictly are leaning in to the AJ and Kai rumours as a dead cat to distract from something they want to keep secret - Dan and Nadiya having something going on was their thought, someone replied they suspected it was Rose and Giovanni. Sounds like far fetched gossip and rumour to be honest, but what are we’re here for if not far fetched gossip and rumour?

Definitely the case - they knew that Anton was very near his end as a pro so wanted that to be his year to get a win with no real opposition. Had Kelvin initially been Oti's partner from the start, I reckon Emma would have got one of the younger guys. I thought she and Anton were a terrible personality match as well, the most awkward ITT chemistry and it continued the whole series. I reckon they weren't too sad to see the back of each other. Definitely not a partnership of the 'friends for life' crowd that most partnerships seem to be on their ITT exit interview.

Anton and Emma had some of the worst chemistry I've ever seen on Strictly. One the one hand, I'm amazed they never landed in the bottom two, but on the other hand, it seemed like if Anton ever had a whiff of getting past the hallway mark, the voters were desperate to keep him in? That's the only explanation 😆

That would be quite the scandal if true Dan won’t participate in Halloween week on Halloween type costume because of his religion but can happily cheat.

God the idea that supreme God-botherer Dan is having it off is hilarious. I would love it but it is not true. Rose has a bf so it seems very unlikely. It could be that they are trying to distract from the Adam/Katya stuff by basically saying 'look over here!'.
Or maybe the Sara/Aljaz/Janette thruple is not as innocent as it seems..
 
Tonight felt a bit flat for me tonight but had a busy day so could be because I couldn't 'switch off' and enjoy. I feel there was some good dances and then some not so much. Rose and Gio for me were the best, Judy the least. Felt some couples were hampered by the costumes, lighting, cameras etc so it was hard to see fully the shape and connection during the dances.

babe, you are giving john and jojo even more thought than I do.

nicola adams is far from a national treasure, a lesbian woman of colour who boxes for a living is non-threatening to middle england? do me a favour

Johannes has been on the show for 4 seasons now

2018 - benched
2019 - Catherine Tyldesley
2020 - Caroline Quentin
2021 - my one true love

John's looking bleeping hot now (but that sweet boy still was gorgeous on bake off in the day) and he has said he only started body building last year

tldr there really shouldn't be a conspiracy theory about strictly

It won't be Dan, he's happily married and I think Rose has a boyfriend.

the local rag here's all over every movement dan and nadiya make

I apologise profusely for sounding like Steve Allen but I kinda thought there was something suspect with John's sudden physical transformation before Strictly. Was he hoping to emulate Kelvin's success or help get more publicity?

I read that as Kevin (from Grimsby's) success. Kevin's physique momentarily flashed across my eyes. How unfortunate.

Nikita is so talented!! Great choreography. Really entertaining

I'm not getting at you personally Everybody, yours just happened to be the post I responded to. I can't understand how so many - apparently knowledgeable about 'Dance' - can consider what Nikita did was worthy of praise. ?? Unless of course you are taking a cue from Craig who must have his 'funny' head on if he thinks that that Choreography was anything remotely connected with a Cha Cha!

Other than very close to the finish, Tilly never did a cha cha chassis - and even then it was only a couple 'in-line' on her way to the stage. Quite awful. I marked her lower than Judi simply because she didn't dance a Cha Cha !

Fed up every year with these stupid pre dance films 🙄

You obviously don't appreciate that the production team need to clean up the dance-floor between contestants. That's what the VT sections are about.

I enjoyed tonight's show. The costumes and make up were really good and received well deserved praise. Loved the music for War of the Worlds and the way they arranged the Moonlight Sonata. The guy who tried ACDC vocals did much better than I expected and a billion times better than I could. Just the girl who sings with a clothes peg on her nose needs a smidge of work. Gio's reaction was quite moving and love Rose so glad she did as well as she did.

Fair play to Judi for being there and if Shirley has something medical to worry about then likewise. Really hope everything fine.

Katya channeling her inner Dani Filth (one for the black metal fans) and an agree for those who said CC may have had its day. I just don't get it and when someone has said how personal it is to them, it's just uncomfortable if it's a bit tit.

I’m still trying to vote more based on who I’d want to be safe from bottom two rather than whose best. If I was voting on whose best I’d give all 3 to Rose.
I’m going to vote for Sara as think she was shafted a bit this week and I felt for Aljaz admitting that he hadn’t catered to her strengths properly and I’d like to see more of her. Rhys because I felt for him being in the bottom two last week and I do really think he can dance - he looked a bit sad tonight and I don’t like that. I can’t decide who to give my third vote to just yet - deciding between Dan, Tilly and Judi. Dan cos I think he’s enjoying the experience so much and it’s really nice to see - he’s still beige as duck but it’s nice to see. Tilly cos I really like her and I’m unsure if she has the fan base??? and Judi cos I do like her and I really love seeing Graziano so not quite prepared to see her go but think she’d lose a dance off anyway 😂 I’m torn

I voted for Rhys, Sara, and Adam to save them
 
Ajs brother didn’t like it to haha
