I’m disappointed by the couple who have gone out. I know they weren’t everyone’s favourite on here but I actually like the pro, feel their choreography is always creative and interesting. I feel the celeb had more to give!

Aw, I am a fan too and felt they had a really hard run of dances were undermarked compared to others, and still had potential

I’m afraid I disagree re the celeb, we’re at the halfway point and I personally don’t see a huge amount of progression compared to the others still there. In other years that might not have been so obvious but it’s a much tougher year imo.

I agree re Katya’s choreography and I will be really sad if, for any reason, that was her last Strictly dance.

I had a nosey at the Spoiler Facebook group and someone made a comment about it being terrible that the voting public didn’t get behind “our Olympian”. By that logic, Gormless Greg Rutherford should have won his year and he was woeful. I will cheer on Adam in future Olympics and Commonwealth Games, as I’m sure he has a few of each left in him - which makes it baffling to me why he jumped straight into Strictly this year 🤷🏻‍♀️

Fair enough! I think he is better than Dan. I feel Adam has probably got what he wanted out of this - a break from swimming, bigger profile, learning something new, a few good routines - (apart from the media bollocks) and his book is out this week so is probably quite happy to go now. Looking at Twitter and FB a lot of people, particularly women, don't seem to like Katya, so maybe she is just doomed now post-Seannn
 
Just watched on catch up because I'm crap at watching live:

- Didn't mind Adams dance but had to watch Danny Mac's pool table themed jive straight afterwards to cleanse myself 😍
- I actually liked Toms paso and I hate myself for admitting that (dont shoot me everyone 😬😬😬)
- Nikita is such an asset to the show!! His choreography is always so good, he always highlights Tilly and shows her strengths. She did great with the tango and looked amazing 🔥
- AJ and Kai WOWWWW gotta be one of the best Charlestons we've seen on the show for ages
- J&J rumba was beautiful but missing something?? not sure what

It's a shame that Adam and Katya are out, it should be Sara's time to go now!

It makes me sad to think people are anti-Katya because of a 50/50 thing years ago that wasn’t ideal but hardly the crime of the century! She’s a fantastic choreographer. And it has been a tough year with a lot of strong competitors. I’ve said it before, I didn’t dislike Adam but found him a bit too cocky and I thought he handled the almost kiss badly but he just wasn’t my cup of tea.

I think that leaves Dan, Rhys and Sara as the weak ones (although everyone must see something in Rhys that I don’t!) and the next few weeks will be interesting as they clearly all have large fanbases.

I feel badly if Adam's actions (presumably involuntary, whatever the duck went on in the AT) have added to Katya's 'reputation' though it is unsurprising, sadly.
I am not sure about Rhys' fanbase at all, though he is the best dancer of the 3. I wonder if even Dan fans will feel like it's time for him to go now, especially if he avoids the DO next week and Rhys, Tilly, or Sara ends up going.
 
Not reading any spoilers but who I think deserve dance off:
Sara, Adam, Tilly

But who I think will be in DO?
Adam, Dan or Tilly.

@aimzalicious Nikita is fabulous but I'd like to see Tilly's personality.
John - I didn't think he extended his arms enough, swished as he awkwardly watched Johannes do his bits, it lacked feeling from John.

I wish they'd stop giving us stats, I don't care if it's the highest score given ever in week 3 in series 196, I'm not watching "think of a number".

When I started going out with my now-husband, he was a Strictly fan and I used to watch the X Factor but he got me into it. That was the year Chris Hollins beat Ricky Whittle and I was thinking ‘what fresh hell is this?!’ - gorgeous Ricky - the much better dancer - and stunning Natalie against the BBC Sport guy and Ola…but I don’t think that will happen this year with Dan. I voted for him this week but when push comes to shove, sorry Dan.

I always forget about Tom Fletcher, I think he’s somewhere in between the two groups. He’s going to be a semi-finalist anyway I think, but I hope I’m wrong.
 
Oh dear. Are Erin, Flavia and Ola really so in need of a few quid that they’ll allow themselves to be lumped in with the Pritchards?

I'm not sure about Tom: his vote hasn't really been tested yet. It looks like Tilly's is weaker than people thought so an exit order of Dan, Sara, Tilly, Tom seems possible. The thought of Tom dislodging one of AJ, Rose or John is bad

From the look of the training clip the other day, I’m not sure Nina will 😳. It was only a short clip and it might’ve been another Neil character (Dick the Teacher) but I got the vibe that she wasn’t seeing the funny side.

He should stick to lying naked on the rocks. Oh no wait…

That clip definitely hinted at some awkwardness. In all honesty, I'd rather Neil didn't come back next year, he might have been hyped up by everyone in the dance world but it hasn't translated to Strictly and I can't think of any positives about him as a pro. Bring in Jowita's partner Michael instead!

This is such a random selection of ex-pros. And Curtis. Would most people even know who they are if they were just flicking through a magazine and saw that photo? It's not like they can even use the word 'Strictly' in the ad

It does feel like in general, they are less likely to get rid of pros these days. But if anyone were in danger of being cut, I think it would be Neil. He had a great chance of doing well this year with a partner with potential and stuffed it up with one misjudged routine. I'm just struggling to see what sort of celeb he would have any chemistry with

I’ll admit, I had to look at Curtis a few times before I realised it was him.

I have no idea why he’s there. He was never remotely involved with Strictly: ‘look, four former Strictly pros, plus an unconnected sibling’. 🤷‍♀️
