Thanks for the thread StrictlyE and for the dance list Nic

The last step before Blackpool, will be interesting to see who goes out tonight

Thank you for the thread

Evening All, who will be on The Blackpool Bus after tonight, and who will still be at the stop 💃🏻🚌🚌

Thanks for the thread Strictly

Surely there is going to be a shock elimination tonight? I honestly don't think Ed will be in B2 especially if his Gingham style Salsa (theres a sentence i never thought i would say) is entertaining? Although potentially it could be Greg and Daisy - if Danny and Oti are in B2 I'm blaming Mel Giedroyc after what she said on ITT last night!

Think it might be time up for Greg. I enjoy watching him, but I enjoy everyone else slightly more. Don't think Ed's going anywhere this week. Hoping Daisy makes it through safely, but fear she may end up in the dance off again.

I too brendan, have a feeling that this week, there will be a shock elimination, I'm thinking Daisy.

What did mel say

I'm inclined to agree with you. Much as I love Natalie, Greg is so damn boring I have just stopped caring what happens to him.

Daisy is lovely, but sadly forgettable. I think she's a bit wet.

So people are predicting Daisy or Greg to go, that'll probably mean Ed is going!

Thanks for that.

I think apart from Daisy, Danny and Ed's selections, the music seems VERY GOOD for a change!

Will a gentleman celeb go this week...or will it be 6 ladies in a row? 🤔

Evening all. Drinking game for every time they mention Blackpool?!

She said that he has never been in the B2 and maybe needed a shakeup The crowd didn't agree with her so she kept adding the same thing about everyone else who wasn't in B2 yet to try and ease the blow! (but i reckon she really only meant it for Danny)

I have a feeling it will be the 6th lady in a row to go.

You will be plastered by the time they get to the first dance!

Evening all and thanks for the thread.


I'm interested to see what they'd do if it's Daisy v Ore or Louise/Claudia v Danny in the Dance Off. I think they might be evenly matched on their song choices this evening... will they save the female celebrity to balance numbers, even if the male celebrity is slightly better?

Lol! May need to start with tea and work up to wine later in the evening.

I don't think a shake up is needed, it is ridiculous to encourage someone to do badly.

If one of those dance offs does occur, the result would probably be a split decision.

If it is a dance off like that, I'd be really hoping someone towards the bottom end of he leaderboard leaves soon.

I agree and anyway he will have his work cutout for him tonight trying to do an AT to 'you heard it through the grapevine'!

I think there should be an unwritten rule (plenty of them already in Strictly) that AT's are danced to traditional music!

So excited Have salted popcorn in the microwave as I'm typing!

Evening all, let's hope it's a good one without any

I just hope those who deserve to be in dance off based on how they dance are, and that the poorest one goes - well one can dream
