Gonna give my verdict on Strictly tonight without reading anyone else's & see if anyone else agrees!!
Firstly HUGE kudos to the costume/Make up departments,absolutely fabulous!!
As for the show, what a strange show it was!!
Both 'top seeds' making mistakes (though I loved both routines personally) & both the 'comedy acts' doing really rather passable routines (or in JR's case Pasoble... sorry

)
Definitely out for me tonight should be Anastacia/Brendan!! Trying to jive to Bat out of Hell was never destined to end well & it was every bit as bad as I expected!!
Of the two Paso's I actually, much against my better judgement liked Judge Rinder's better than Daisy's
Louise & Ore's 'Charlston off' was a strange one!! Loved Ore's footwork but he did get a
bit messy a couple of times whereas I found Louise a tad dull as usual but she was tight & accurate all the time!!
Claudia/AJ finally made me feel something tonight, thought their routine was charming & well performed!
Ed & Katya!!!! Please Great British Public put them through again!! Katya's unbridled
enthusiasm is literally THE ONLY thing from this series that's giving me anything like the happy 'Georgia vibes' I had last year!!
Laura & Gio's Tango was thankfully different enough from last year's 'Queen of Hallowe'en'tango not to even invite comparison!! Good performanxe, should be enough to see them through!!
Which brings me to Danny & Oti!! I've already said this on another thread but, in the nicest possible way I want them to be in the DO!!
Reason for this being I absolutely LOVED the routine!!! The footwork looked fabulous to me & I just want to see it done again perfect without the blip in the middle!!
Finally I can understand if nobody else agrees but I don't give a monkey's nuts whether Craig thought it was a Rumba, or even whether he was right or wrong, that dance moved me in a way probably no other dance has this series & I thought Greg was a revelation tonight!! My favourite of the night by a country mile & I felt so so sorry for Natalie as they had both worked so hard to eradicate the nightmare of last week & quite frankly a 4 from Craig was an absolute insult, given some of the marks he's been awarding this season!!
