Strictly Come Dancing 2023

I don't see the point of posting this here each week.

If someone really wants to know the outcome before Sunday, then they can go find it themselves

Same here! Love a good spoiler! It's our own choice whether or not to click into it.

I don't want Layton to get as far as n the final, adding pressure to those who actually deserve to be there.

I'd prefer any combination of Ellie, Nigel, Angela S and Bobbie rather than Layton. Annabel will probably go next.

i think I'm rooting for Ellie to win, as she was a novice and has been consistently improving - but other than not wanting Layton to win, I don't really care who wins that much. Not like I rooted for Hamza, and Rose.

I thought it was just me, but I find Latyon beyond annoying

I thought everyone danced well tonight and it's so hard to differentiate in terms of who could or should go next.

Ellie stands out still as the best. She's brilliant and her and Vito's partnership just works so well. She looked amazing tonight and I think it was the music that let the dance down a little. I think it would have been absolutely iconic to a more traditional piece of music.

This was definitely a much weaker dance from Layton. He just doest seem to be able drop the showbiz and embrace the ballroom. I didn't want to like him from the start given his professional experience, but I can't agree with the negative comments about his personality. Despite my initial impressions I have found him to be very likeable and genuine in all his interviews over the past few weeks.

Other than Ellie, I could see any them going now. She's the only one I feel is 100% deserving of staying above everyone else.

Not sure about that fringed look.

Feckitinanyways - I hoped she'd squeak through. Fair dues to Shirley, I thought Anton might be of a similar mind.

For Angela to be lost for words is some feat though!

I'm really sorry she's gone, I thought she was great the whole series.

Did Angela do Irish dancing as a young-un?

Has Nigel been in a dance-off yet? Bobby and Layton have but has Annabel been?

Based on dance-off theory, you'd have to assume it'll be one of Nigel, Ellie and Annabel to win it of that's the case. Ellie has been superb all the way through. That was a helluva Argentine Tango on Saturday.

Yes, I felt sorry for her too. I do think she disguises a lot, that’s why I’ve always found her very false. Rather than give an honest answer, you often see her struggling trying to come up with something smart or witty but she’s neither. I find her dreadful as a presenter for this reason. She should just try being herself.

Nigel has sustained an injury and has to withdraw from the competition. They should cancel tonight elimination. A two person final would be boring.

When this happens, they should run a public vote to bring back one person - with a one week exemption from elimination.

(Public vote only).

Is he definitely gone for the rest of the competition, or just tonight?

Different circumstances, AJ withdrew the night before the final. So they had no choice but to have a 2 person final.

I'm glad we won't have a two-person final anyway. Sorry to see Nigel go like that. What a shame.

Layton's paso was excellent. His best dance I think.

Ellie was great, but again I don't think it was the right music for the dance.

Annabel was good, but not her best.

Poor Bobby having to take on that lift. It didn't work, which was nearly inevitable.

Bobby needs to go now. Patrick Swayze he definitely is not.
