Strictly Come Dancing 2017 – Week 8 Discussion/Poll

It’s a brand new week for Strictly and last week’s shock elimination is but a distant memory. The 9 remaining couples are focused on dancing their way into Blackpool next week.

Who has secured their place in the vegas of the north? And who will be left behind? As always you can let me know your thoughts about that or anything else to do with tonight’s show right here in the comments section below (comments only appear on individual posts and not the home pages where more than one post will display. Click on the name of the post you wish to comment on if you don’t see the comments section).

Or you can join the community over on Facebook and let me know what you think during any of my live posts over the course of tonight and in the coming week.

Or why not head on over to Twitter and tweet @davejthorp remembering to include #StrictlySpoiler in your comments. You’ve 280 characters to play with now on Twitter so can say more in your thoughts.

As always a poll will open here when all the couples have danced. The poll will look a little different to previous weeks as I’m trying out some new polling software due to some glitches with the old one so let me know what you think, if it works for you or if you have any issues with the new poll system once the poll opens. Due to site issues which may or may not have been down to the new poll software I’ve reverted to the old one and migrated the poll results over to that system.

Spoiler should be incoming some time after 10:30pm tonight so keep checking the site for the latest updates or follow me or like the strictly spoiler on the social networks using the links above to keep up to date with everything Strictly Spoiler
