So who is your favourite, who will be in the dance off and who's going home?
So I'm loving Hrvy and I find Bill very entertaining. I think Jaqui and Ranvir will be in the dance off, with Jaqui going home | |||

having been passively watching Strictly since the heady days of Erin Boag & the lovely Nat.....I'm am very wary of predicting anyone's exit. Having said that, I have to say, having seen Jaqui Smith in 'action' Ann Widdicombe has gone up in my estimation - if there is any justice, Ms Smith will not be re-elected.

 )... but my all-time favourite person on the show has to be the genius that is Vicky Gill.
I love her enthusiasm and how glamorous she makes the Celebs & Pros look, the dress Motsi wore on Saturday night looks great on her and I'm sure it was one of Vicki's creations.
Oh & yeah... given the chance(never happen sadly), I most certainly would

"This is the first year I've not watched Strictly launch show: I didn't even watch the live show: can't get into it. I watch it on catch up and haven't bothered with the Sunday result show. I predicted Jacqui would go followed by the American, it'll be the black dj and the Asian woman next. The smiley boxer will be in the dance off but the judges will save her for as long as possible. From what I've seen my favourite is Bill Bailey and the most annoying Caroline Quentin! Oti is a genius! She choreographs to her partner's strenghts, showing them off. Other dancers like Jeanette use their partner as a prop to show themselves off. It just seems lacklustre. Add to that no Bruno and Craig has morphed into Mr Nice...nah: not feeling Strictly 2020. " Haha fair point I really like Bill | |||

I thought I was going to like Nicola being in it but she is getting on my nerves so I don't mind if she goes Jamie is my close my eyes I don't want to watch person so he can go anytime too. I loved Jason, Ok until that point he wasn't the greatest dancer but his smile was infectious and lots of people have improved heaps from 3 weeks onwards in the past. The choice of music and the choreography didn't help matters for him last night which I think sometimes is the intention of the show, some of them get rubbish music that doesn't go with the dance which means they have no chance I agree Craig has gone soft. What I do like though is the non screaming from the audience every time someone lifted a finger, it was lovely watching the two dancers when the family of musicians were playing as no one was screaming and you could hear the music too....so next year if this is all over and they let the audience back in, they should supply gaffer tape for their gobs !! | |||

Ranvir's confidence has grown, she is very elegant. Nicola is not growing on me at the moment...The musicians were superb and the dancers were magical think Craig has had a personality change | |||

I was going to mention this the other day, but has anyone noticed how awkward Nichola seems to be with Katya? The other couples always seem to be very touchy-feely, but when they do the upstairs interview bit, Nichola always stands in front of Katya, not touching her at all whilst Katya only puts her hands on her shoulders - no cuddling (like the others) at all. And they haven't yet done any of the close-up "romantic" dances yet either. I'm not implying anything at all, but they seem an awkward pair. As for Caroline and Johannes - what a waste of Johannes! | |||

Which one would have lead do you think? I was hoping to see them stay and seeing the difference with each of them leading. Their first dance had a lead switch in it, but it was just a moment. It's a shame they've gone, Katya is a great choreographer and would have probably come up with some great routines." Yes she is very creative | |||

"Enjoyed Bill Bailey tonight." Was just discussing that Not half as stiff as some of the amateurs I think because he has had a career, he doesn't need this as a platform Plus, he seems to have a playful approach which must assist in how relaxed his movements seem to be compared to others | |||

"Well...just watched this on catch up and have to say I was wrong about Anton: I'm not a fan of his, but I thought he was spot on as a judge! I've not been able to get into Strictly this year for some reason, but what can I say: loved every dance. Bill is still my favourite: is there any style this man can't do? A...ma...zing!!! I noticed something: none of the celebrities seem desperate. They all appear to be having fun. Think I'll be watching live next week! "Yes, I thought Anton was good, thought he might be a bit lenient but he gave constructive advise. I think they're a nice group, this year and well done to all for putting on a good show, the logistics can't be easy. Glad you enjoyed it | |||

"Masie and HRVY are natural dancers, they can both wiggle and spin well but have they actually improved since week 1? I can't really see it. I would agree with Shirley (who, like me has a soft spot for Max), so now we can't really see his continued improvement. Masie will just give us more of the same next week... Zzzzz Although Bill is very good and entertaining, until this week, he reminded me of a well oiled wind-up toy... Fast and mechanical. His dance tonight was a bit more fluid, so a great improvement for me... Ranvir is a bit hit and miss so I do hope she improves her odds. I think Johannes is too soft on Caroline... The kind of reputation that Oti and Katya has on their celebs from previous years, I think Johannes needs crack the whip... It is Strictly after all...!"
