Watching this now after Oti and Gio have won makes me smile

[@josephlewis9237]

Amy Dowden is my favourite professional dancer. I absolutely love her. She's beautiful, she's a wonderful dancer, has a radiant smile, has a lovely personality and she's Welsh. I'm Welsh as well and to me, that's something to be proud of.

[@sparkyspark964]

I try to keep up with the UK version SCD almost every year and I have watched most seasons of the US version DWTS . Both have been amazing examples of the sport of ballroom dancing. And I know some will disagree with that moniker, but whatever... There are definite differences between the two. The US version needs to make some changes to bring it back to its former glory. The UK series, which may not have as big of a budget as the US one does, has never lost its brilliance and sophistication. I’m so pleased that the show allows for the pros to become celebrities in their own right and not have to keep quiet in the background. I hope the US version will find its footing (so to speak) again. It would be a shame if it got canceled.

Tyra Banks completely destroyed Dancing with the Stars

[@hesandachanusha6554]

I agree completely. I feel like DWTS just lost its magic after the pandemic. People blame Tyra for being a bad host, but I feel like there's more to the problem. The show has taken a turn to the worst. The ballroom is covered in flashy lights, which makes the dances less enjoyable. Every week, the celebrities try to bring some personal story to their dances, which seems so forced, specially when they don't even end up making sense. The theme weeks are not special anymore, especially this series, where they did Britney, Queen and Janet nights, which was basically the same theme. However, I loved Grease night, it's different and it felt like I was actually watching the movie to some degree. Also, the unnecessary amounts of double-eliminations. It's just ridiculous. I would be here all day if I were to talk about this, so I am going to stop lol.

[@elizabethgrogan8553]

@@hesandachanusha6554 I love the British version. They know what works and keep the dancers, stars and dances pure. I stopped watching the US series because it lost it's way. Can't see it lasting.

[@jandreidrn]

They already did in season 31.

Lens words of true wisdom. The pro dancers are the luckiest people. I feel like it is Giovannis year in 2021 to win! Poor Amy when Dianne said Hope you wont be a Bridezilla!

[@phyllischamberlain7467]

Why have to wait so long for a year why can’t we have it twice a year and every time every week every day I love it every time it’s on if you’re chatting dancing new dances I like to watch every detail I love it or should I wait on twice a year? It’s too long waiting for the year when it’s finished again. I have to wait it all year before it comes around again. I love it I love all the stars new ones old ones and then I get disappointed when they leave or whatever where they gone Different countries different jobs. Oh dear I love it. Can’t be strictly. Come dancing is my favourite programme at the whole year I really look forward to it every night and watch the 6 o’clock news about tickly wanna talk about. Strictly come dancing for half an hour, I watch every detail and I watch every program and if I miss it I’m furious with myself I have to look it up and find it so I see it again thank you love this program makes you smile makes you laugh makes you feel happy even though you’re down thank you I wish I could do strictly I’m too old now

[@phyllischamberlain7467]

If I was on there doing a fancy dress I would do calla Miranda or Charlie Chaplin I love, Charlie Chaplin know he’s ever done Charlie Chaplin. That’s a good one. Good one for them dances to do that alright singing in the rain and all, but we all are done that one about unusual things call Amanda is a good one for the dance to do love it thank you for a good programme

[@dianegarciaprieto2118]
