Strictly Come Dancing 2021 #3 And so it begins

[Kc2]

That was SO good, I'm really impressed!

Pressed post too soon in my excitement. She's the best yet. Excellent news because that means we'll be seeing Gio on our screens for a long time.

 

[kittypaws]

That made me emotional how bleeping inspirational

 

[Clovis]

I thought Rose was excellent. My favourite couple so far.

And Giovanni...

 

[Stitched]

Awww everyone signing then, brought a tear

 

[Shesaidwhat?]

I’d happily give the BBC a few more pounds in my television license fee if it meant they’d play the actual song rather than letting the band singers butcher them.

 

[JCMSadie]

That was amazing!!!

What is her level of hearing? I'm ignorant about deafness, but I assume it's like vision where there are partial/total?

 

[stephobz]

I already have a huge weak spot for Giovanni (out of control crush) and him learning sign language for Rose is just the cherry on top of an already incredibly decorated cake

You wouldn't even need to, the BBC have some special deal so they can play any song they like. They don't have to go get permission for playing songs like other channels do.

 

[Oohthedrama]

I wish the vocalist was signing the song.

 

[jfletcher]

Giovanni has been runner-up three times and I would love this to finally be his year

 

[Restless Native]

Ffs Shirley booo

 

[calmyourritas]

They’re my winners right there what an inspiration she is and I hope he finally gets a win

 

[frisbeee]

Shirley is so predictable

 

[Captainmouse]

Who pissed off shirley?

 

[glasgow27]

4 for Rose but 5 for Ugo & Sara? This kind of marking over the years has really made me lose any respect I had for Shirley.

 

[Ensay]

4 from Shirley? What the heck?

 

[Lilu22]

Gio and now Gorka? Are they trying to kill us?!

 

[Clovis]

Shirley with her 4!

Sign clapping I thought she did brilliantly there. She didn’t miss a beat. Don’t get me wrong the mouthing of the counting was a bit irritating as it’s a pet hate when dancers sing etc
for example! but I’ve always found deaf people dancing absolutely fascinating - one of my dance tutors was Stephen Mear’s partner who choreographed Mary Poppins and if you’ve seen it you’ll know that there’s a signed section in Supercalifragalistic and it was inspired by his partner - anyway, I digress - what is fascinating to me is that they feel the vibrations. I hope Rose does well and yes it is brave for pushing herself to do this as it’s a challenge but I also don’t wanna hear Tess referring to her as brave every week.

I didn’t know that. What’s with the band then? You don’t buy a dog and start barking.
