September 24, 20168 yr AJ is actually 12 years old, and was a semifinalist on Britain's Got Talent in 2012.
October 1, 20168 yr Some real surprises tonight, namely Ed Balls. I have a feeling it'll be a while before he's voted out after tonight - surprisingly competent Charleston! Tameka Empson's Charleston was also quite good and I loved Lesley and Ore's cha chas. Will's jive was a bit of a let down for me but apparently he did his leg in so I hope he's alright.
October 2, 20168 yr No dance off in the end tonight, it went to viewer votes owing to Anastacia's injury she sustained from her dance. Melvin and Janette went home. Sad Melvin's gone even though his tango wasn't the best. Just hope Anastacia is alright.
October 3, 20168 yr omg the train wreck of anastasia; when she hit brendan in the face 😨 it's v obvious danny mac is going to win, what an incredible dancer, lightyears ahead of the rest. i assume he has a lot of dance background behind him to be they good, they don't remark on him "having never danced before" as they did with abbey clancy who was superb
October 3, 20168 yr also the marking is far too kind, it doesn't leave any benchmark to excel through the rest of the series
October 3, 20168 yr I felt so bad watching Anastacia 😔 She was so terrified of dancing again and hurting herself again. Considering she had to do a new dance a few hours before the show, she did amazingly well. Hope she recovers, apparently she's torn some scar tissue and that's why she couldn't dance properly.
October 6, 20168 yr Bruno apparently had a huge diva fit/strop backstage over the Anastacia/Melvin controversy from Saturday night. Ola + James Jordan were also bitching about the decision, saying how Melvin shoulda stayed.
October 8, 20168 yr brb gonna have to watch Ed Balls' samba again because tears were streaming down my face with laughter :rofl: :rofl: absolutely AMAZING. Easily the best show of the series so far and quite possibly one of my all-time faves - I started watching in 2014. Edited October 8, 20168 yr by jase.
October 9, 20168 yr This is the best series since 2014 by far. Will Young doing Jai Ho and Louise giving her best Jennifer Grey impression were both sublime, as was Ore's American smooth and Lesley and Anton's quickstep.
October 9, 20168 yr This is so much more entertaining than X Factor this year. Everyone is so great, probably the best standard I've ever seen.
October 9, 20168 yr Tameka Empson went tonight, with Laura Whitmore also in bottom two. Sad to see both of them there as neither deserved it, but I think it shows how high the standard is this year!
October 9, 20168 yr It's the problem with the tied points going 1st= 1st = 2nd rather than 1st = 1st = 3rd. They should really change that.
October 9, 20168 yr The Will/Len exchange was SO bloody awkward. I think Will was trying to create another "iconic" moment (much like he did with Simon all those years back on Pop Idol) but it all fell a bit flat really :lol: Absolutely gutted that Tameka went :( Such a massive character and she'll be a big loss to the show. I have NO idea how Naga is still there tbh. Edited October 9, 20168 yr by jase.
October 11, 20168 yr What's weird with Naga is that everything I've read on Strictly forums says 'put her out of her misery' and assumes she is hating it. But I work in the BBC Newsroom and overheard a friend of Naga's today saying how delighted she is to have made it through and how much she is loving it! I guess something is just not clicking. I was surprised both her and Anastacia avoided the dance off. I think the standard is almost TOO high this year. For the novelty act, Ed is actually pretty good. None of the people going out at this stage deserve to be, and in other series would have had chance to grow.
