Strictly Come Dancing 2017 – Week 11 Discussion/Poll

There’s a two for one on spoilers this week as not only will the regular elimination spoiler be coming in later tonight but I’ve also got the spoiler all the newspapers are talking about, but refusing to publish because they don’t want to be struck off the BBC’s christmas card list, and that is The Christmas Special Spoiler

But back onto this week and it’s not only the quarter final of Strictly Come Dancing 2017 but its also time for our annual trip to the musicals with the 6 remaining couples all dancing to routines inspired by the musicals. But who was a west end smash? And who flopped?

You can let me know your thoughts about anything to do with tonight’s show right here in the comments section below (comments only show on single posts and not the homepage – click the title of the post if you are on the homepage to go to the single post)

Or head on over to Facebook or Twitter to join the discussion on those social networks (twitter users tag @davejthorp and include #StrictlySpoiler in your tweets)

Each time you join the discussion you earn entries into the competition to win one of three £20 amazon uk vouchers I have to give away each and every week!

On the subject of which at some point this weekend I will have SIX winners to tell you about as due to other commitments and a site move I didn’t get around to doing last weeks draw. These winners will more than likely be announced on the elimination post tomorrow.

Sorry no poll this week as it’s causing issues with the caching software being used to try and increase server performance at peak times

Spoiler as always will be incoming some time around 10:30pm. To try and combat the site outages that have plagued the site the last few weeks at peak times, the site has this week been moved to a new host who claims to be able to cope with 300 million page views a month but let’s maybe not test that too thoroughly just in case ?. Especially as due to some compatibility issues and time constraints in resolving them I haven’t got a CDN deployed at the moment to take the strain off my server so all load will be on my new server tonight. About 2 of you will have understood that last sentence I’m sure ?

Thanks to everyone who donated money to help fund this site move (or who just wanted to buy me a pint). If you want to help out the site with its current or future hosting costs or simply want to thank me for all the spoilers you can donate using the button below which paypal take a cut from or THIS LINK which paypal don’t take a cut from

Strictly Come Dancing 2017 – Week 10 Discussion/Poll

Strictly has left Blackpool behind but for the 7 remaining couples the complete carnage that will be the pasodoblathon (yes that is a word….. just ask the BBC) awaits.

But who shone for you this week and should make it into next week’s quarter final and who shouldn’t have bothered coming back from Blackpool?

You can let me know your thoughts on anything to do with tonight’s show right here in the comments section (comments section will only appear when clicked into a single post and not on the home pages).

Or why not join the community over on Facebook and comment on any of tonight’s posts on the Facebook page.

Or you can join in with the discussion on twitter by following me, replying to my tweets and including the hashtag #StrictlySpoiler

Each time you join the discussion you earn entries into this years competition where I have 3 £20 Amazon UK vouchers to give away each and every week of the 2017 series of Strictly

As always a poll will open below once all the couples have danced their solo dances. You will be able to tell me who your 3 favourite couples are when the poll opens.

If you’re on the site waiting for the spoiler, and why wouldn’t you be it’s why we’re all here, can I please ask that you are considerate to other users when refreshing the site. Last week one single user refreshed the site a ridiculous 1500 times according to my host which may have contributed towards the downtime. By refreshing less you’re helping not only other people view the spoiler but also yourselves. If the site isn’t working and I can’t get on it, I can’t post the spoiler!

Best thing to do is to join the communities on Facebook or Twitter and as soon as the spoiler gets posted alerts will be sent to both those networks. There will be no real time spoiler updates this week as they haven’t been helping with the downtime. There will just be the full result as soon as I have it!

In the event of the site going down again like it did last week it may also be best to just check in the morning. The next step up in terms of a web hosting solution moves me from paying tens of pounds a month to host this site to hundreds and it’s simply not affordable for me at the moment. If you want to help out with the dedicated server fund (or just want to buy me a pint as a thanks for all the spoilers) you can use the donation button below (which paypal will take a cut from) or this link which paypal won’t take a cut from. Please do not feel any obligation to donate and please only do so if you can afford to do so

Strictly Come Dancing 2017 – Week 9 (Blackpool) Discussion/Poll

Strictly has hit the bright lights of Blackpool with the remaining 8 couples all hoping to set the Tower Ballroom alight and survive into next week where not only will they have their normal dance to contend with but they will also have the carnage of the Pasodoblathon (no really!)

But who ascended to the top of the tower and who should be placed in the tower dungeon? 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 of 7500 people 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 where a community of over 13,000 of you await and tweet @davejthorp remembering to include #StrictlySpoiler in your comments.

As always a poll will open here when all the couples have danced. You will be able to select your favourites and like normal you can choose up to 3 options.

Blackpool spoilers are generally later than other spoilers throughout the main series so it could end up a late one tonight but as soon as I know anything you’ll read it here first at the home of the Strictly Spoiler.
