Given Mike scored higher in the first place it's hardly a surprise he would beat Emma in the dance off. It's not like he's knocked out any potential winners at this point. He might have scored higher but was his dance deserving of that score in the first place? In my opinion, no, it wasn’t. I thought Mike was slightly overscored but we do need to see the dance off. |

We always get that thing of ‘o you said you found the .... difficult this week’ to lead into the disqualification. My concern being that we get this stuff before the dance off and then it is amplified afterwards in Take 2 etc. Is it just me?

I’ve moved some posts made after the results show over to the main SCD thread.

Mike out I think with dance off against Michelle. I did think Michelle's Dance was great but not appealing to the kids.

Surprised to see Michelle in the dance off but it was the right result (and overdue!) for Mike to go.

Michelle could be in the same boat as Ashley last year being an American who may not attract so many votes. But Michelle would have the Drag Race fanbase and being over 50 should get support as the oldest female contestant.
Mike had been waiting to go the last few weeks and the axe has finally fell.

I think people overestimate the Drag Race reach. After a year-off last year I wonder how Giovanni feels about being in the dance-off.

As always what is annoying is having lost a decent dancer because of holding on to one that was bound to go the following week. I think Posh Emma as she is called was definitely a loss to the prog.

Saffron & AJ vs Michelle & Gio
Michelle & Gio out
A shame - as Michelle was a class act throughout. Press stories about her this week won't have helped - and certainly doing a nearly footwork free Vogue routine made it harder to keep her in.

As I said, I think people overestimated Michelle’s popularity. For me it’s no great loss.

Shame, I would have liked to see Michelle do more ballroom and tbh she is a better dancer than the comedian bloke who must be very popular indeed.

With Michelle scoring lowest she was always going to be in danger. Saffron being in the bottom two was a shot given her huge Social Media fanbase. Alex and Chris must be getting a lot of public votes from somewhere.

Chris I'm not surprised, Alex I'm a bit more puzzled as to where her vote has come from but then she did seem relatively under marked for the first few weeks so maybe that gave her an underdog status.
Sad about Michelle, it wasn't a great dance and I never thought she'd win but I'd have like to see her go further as she could have given us more good dances than anyone but Kelvin and Karim.
Saffron is the kind of contestant who often struggles for votes on this show so it was just a question if her social media following was watching and voting in big enough numbers and clearly not.
So a Kelvin v Karim v someone else final from the looks of it.

I think that Chris and Karen look like they are having the most fun which is pretty infectious. As for Michelle, I feel she got lost in significance of the dance for her. I have no doubt that it meant a lot to her and good for her for doing it, but the way she talked up the dance and what it meant to her made it sound like we were in for something truly spectacular. Instead she spend 90 seconds walking round the stage waving her arms around, desperately trying to copy Madonna from 1990 but with much less precision. Its a shame because she really can dance but I felt this was by far the weakest performance of the night so on this occasion she was always going to be in trouble.

I was only half watching it, and only saw the walking/vogue bits. I assumed they were doing a free dance? What was it supposed to be?

It was meant to be Street/Commercial, they never actually explained Vogueing, which was part of the problem. Though I still don't consider it dancing. |

How was it street commercial when we have seen that style look completely different? And the costume? Whaaat? Badly advised. I would love to have seen Michelle do the Argentine tango with Giovanni.

For the costume and most of the choreography ideas, do a search for Madonna at the MTV music awards in 1990. |

Because the genre is Street/Commerical. The / is important. Up until Michelle, every couple who has danced this has done Street or some version of Street. Michelle went for Commercial (any style of dancing you might see in a music video etc.) |

Learnt more there, from sophie92, than I have watching Strictly all these years 😳 so thank you. I’m not a fan of the couples choice actually.

The couples choice is such a waste of time. It saddens me that for a lot of people, Strictly is the first time that they will see "street/commercial" or "contemporary" dance and it's never any good. Michelle's dance was one of the best because it was true to the form and correct. The contemporary routines are barely lyrical, let alone contemporary?! I hate that they use the two terms interchangeably. Contemporary and lyrical are very different styles. The same could be said for street/commercial but they are more closely related.

Big surprise- apparently it was Karim v Saffron with Saffron leaving.
