How to vote

Didn't notice this thread........because it was pinned!

Thanks for starting it, though.

Looking forward to a great show tonight, followed by The Doctor(s).

I'm actually pissed off that it got pinned. There is no need for it at all and as you say, because it has never been needed in the past, people are just getting confused.

I know - there's usually a lot more activity on the thread with only an hour to go.

Indeed. I did explain that when I asked for it to be unpinned.

And yay the mods unpinned it

I'm confident that Sophie at last gets a 10 tonight.

Hello all. Reckon Sophie's going to be in trouble tonight.

I wish I shared your confidence. The rhumba is hard and so slow it shows up lack of core strength. So I'm hoping but not expecting.

Thank you SmokeyChan1 for the voting link.

I didn't notice it either, I was starting to wibble.

Hello...

If anyone's going to upset my Mark v Patrick bottom 2, it's probably Abbey with the odd song/costuming. We'll see!

I hope not, but I have a feeling you might be right.

I think we could be in for an interesting night. Although I am a Mark suuporter I wont be disappointed if he goes tonight but the question is, who will be in the bottom two with him.

Hello All,I hope this posts as I am having trouble with my Intrweb, or my tablet or I'm not doing it right

Interesting tweet from BBC Strictly here: https://twitter.com/bbcstrictly/stat...11172067127296

Makes you wonder, given that last week Tess was wittering on about how Abbey was yet to have "an elusive ten", and lo and behold she got three tens for a clearly imperfect routine.

If she gets a 10 will believe all the conspiracy theories as from the training vids - no way

YAY no longer pinned

Is it my screen or does she have an eyebrow piercing ?

Smokey is fine, and you're welcome



I wibbled too, I prefer it free and untethered.

As for bottom 2, I keep looking and looking and the only couple I would guess to be safe this week are Nat and Artem. Great dancers, great dance.

And although I wouldn't rule out anyone else from bottom 2, I think the four in the most danger are probably Abbey, Mark, Patrick and Sophie.

@Tissy, just glittery bits stuck to her face above both brows. Looks cool.

Are you still in plaster though ?

Successful

Good evening all.

Thanks for the thread Smoky.

Sadly I hope some lovely Widdy will cheer me up

Evening Strictlypeeps! Good to be back - nearly time

What's all this about wibbling - or should I ask

Evening all hoping for a wow dance tonight - you know one of those we will be talking about for years to come. Nearest we've had this series is Sophie's charleston
