I've finally got round to watching last week's results show!

Group dance
Dance with the fey princess if you will, but be careful lest you draw the attention of the Unseelie Court...

And now the judges enter, with much more normal outfits except for Anton who has a pair of sparkly skeletal hands on his shoulders. Somehow, that's more creepy than their Halloween costumes were.

Dry Bones by Gregory Porter
Interesting choice of only half painting the dancer's faces - depending on which way they look, you either get a normal face or a zombie! And that technicolour skull on the video wall seems strangely disturbing.

Dance-off
That's what the graphical glitches in the video walls of Adam and Katia's dance reminds me of - Astral Chain, and the way everything in that game glitches out more and more as reality distorts. Anyway, dance-off: I'm not sure which was better - the waltz seemed odd, but that may because the choreography was so eerie, while the cha cha cha maybe didn't do as much as it could have. These dance-offs are getting hard to decide!

Bonus quotes
Tilly: "I can't believe I'm better than Peppa Pig!"
Claudia: "Be afraid, be very afraid - it's the judges!"
Judi: "I'm taking Graz home"

Today you get two Strictly posts for the price of two!

Adam and Katya: Jive to Little Bitty Pretty One by Frankie Lymon & The Teenagers
Who stole the pool balls? Oh well, let's jive instead!
Random aside: there's several sets of fireworks outside, with a perfectly timed whistling rocket from one during this dance!

Rose and Giovanni: Samba to Cinema Italiano by Kate Hudson
Welcome to the Strictly fashion show!

Tom and Amy: Paso Doble to Amparito Roca by Jamie Texidor
I don't know what it was - maybe the music, maybe the costumes - but this put me in mind of the circus of all things.

Rhys and Nancy: Quickstep to What A Man Gotta Do by Jonas Brothers
I'm slightly disappointed that my local garage didn't have dancing mechanics...

Tilly and Nikita: Tango to Kings & Queens by Ava Max
Beware - as queen, she can move in any direction.

Dan and Nadiya: Couple's Choice to Classic by MKTO
That'll be hard on the set team if they have to repeat this dance!

John and Johannes: Rumba to Shape of My Heart by Sting
Awww

AJ and Kai: Charleston to Don't Bring Lulu by Dorothy Provine, Pinky and The Girls
Club Strictly, twenties' style!

Sara and Aljaž: Quickstep to 9 to 5 by Dolly Parton
Right, that's the last package wrapped - let's dance! Oh wait, there's some more to finish off!

Bonus quotes
Rose: "I'm taking these boots home"
Anton: "Oh dear. Nine!"
Craig: "Thankyou for those boos"
Claudia: "Channel your inner Shirley"
