Strictly Come Dancing 2017 – Week 11 (Musicals Week) Songs/Dances

Yes I know this is quite a bit later than normal but obviously the recent site move has taken priority for the last few days. On Tuesday, The BBC announced the songs and dances that the remaining 6 couples would be dancing to during musical week tomorrow. And they are……

  • Davood and Nadiya perform an Argentine Tango to The Phantom Of The Opera from The Phantom Of The Opera
  • Joe and Katya will Samba to Money Money from Cabaret
  • Alexandra and Gorka dance the Charleston to Supercalifragilistic from Mary Poppins
  • Debbie and Giovanni perform an American Smooth to Memory from Cats
  • Gemma and Aljaz will Quickstep to Hello Dolly! from Hello Dolly!
  • Mollie and AJ dance the Rumba to Hopelessly Devoted To You from Grease

What do you think of the song choices. As always you can let me know in the comments section below, or over on Facebook or Twitter

Once again I’m letting you guys down on the winners front as again the site move has taken priority. Sorry for that. What I will definitely do is draw a winner for this week and last week on each entry method when I draw this week’s winners over the weekend and all 6 winners will be announced on one of the posts over the weekend.

Don’t forget that the Christmas Special Spoiler is available for your viewing pleasure. As featured in all the newspapers including the front page of The Daily Star (again!). Just as well there isn’t any other important world events happening right now so newspapers can waste their time talking about me!

If you want to help out with my ever increasing hosting costs (now standing at about £70-£80 a month) or simply want to buy me a pint or a christmas present as a thanks for all the spoilers you can donate using the button below (paypal will take a cut from all money sent using the button) or by using this link (paypal will send me all the money). Please only do this if you can afford to do so and do not feel obligated to do so. A few of you have suggested doing something like a kickstarter to raise funds for my ever increasing hosting costs and that may be something to look at next year but not a lot of point doing that now so close to the end of the series.

Site Migration Complete

Took a bit longer than I originally expected but the site should now be back up for most users!

Some elements of the site move had to be done manually and also it took a while for the change of host to spread throughout the internet. Some people may still be pointing to the old host (virgin media in particular seem to be slow at updating their DNS) in which case they’ll see an “origin DNS” error rather than this post. This should clear up in the next few hours.

Thanks to everyone who donated using the donation button who made this site move possible. Whilst I didn’t manage to get a dedicated server I’ve done the next best thing which is something called a VPS. My new host also claims that under my package I should be able to cope with 300million page views a month. Maybe not test that too thoroughly but we’ll see how we go at the weekend.

The site will remain with this host now until the end of the series then I plan to move it back to a cheaper solution during the quieter period as I don’t really fancy paying £70 a month to host the site when cheaper solutions will be fine while Strictly isn’t on.

Donations will remain open and if you want to help out with next years hosting costs or simply want to buy me a pint you can donate using the button below (paypal will take a cut) or this link (all money goes to me)

Strictly Come Dancing 2017 – Christmas Special Spoilers

The festive grinch is back out to ruin Christmas for millions of Strictly viewers as several newspapers claimed last year. Or more accurately The Strictly Spoiler is back providing a highly demanded (so demanded it routinely breaks web servers) service for many thousands of Strictly viewers who all actively seek it out! But never let facts get in the way of lazy journalism. Incidentally if any journalists want to take issue with me posting the Christmas Special Spoiler much of what I wrote in last year’s Note To Editors is still valid! Shorter version however is that I’m doing this because thousands of people want me to. Anyway I’ve waffled on enough. Here for, those of you who want to know, are the Christmas Special results:

Participating were:

  • Jeremy Vine and Karen Clifton
  • Katie Derham and Brendan Cole
  • Colin Jackson and Amy Dowden
  • Robbie Savage and Diane Buswell
  • Judy Murray and Neil Jones
  • Kimberley Walsh and Pasha Kovalev

The special was won by Katie and Brendan

Complaints to the BBC

This spoiler has come from an audience mole from a group who have previously provided accurate spoilers and should be accurate.

As always you can join the discussion right here at the home of the Strictly Spoiler in the comments section below (only displays on single posts and not the homepages) or over on Facebook or Twitter

Want to contribute towards the new server fund for this site? Or just buy me a pint or a Christmas present? You can donate using the button below (which paypal will take a cut from) or through this link (which paypal will send all the money to me). Please only do this if you can afford to and do not feel under any kind of obligation to do so
