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 – 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

Musicals week and the quarter final is but a whisker away but for one couple their journey ends tonight and they wont be in next week’s quarter final. But who has fallen this week? No need to wait a day to find out when there is the strictly spoiler. So here are the results:

Complaints to the BBC

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

Competition winners will be drawn tomorrow and added to this post or announced on the elimination post. Anyone who won a prize in September or October should have received their prizes earlier this week. November winners will receive their prizes around Christmas.

Do you want to win prizes? Of course you do and it is so easy to enter to win. Right here at the home of The Strictly Spoiler you can enter by commenting on any of the blog posts each week and telling me and the community your thoughts on the spoiler or anything else to do with Strictly. Remember to click in to each post from the home page to see the comments system at the bottom of each post. It will NOT appear if you are on the home page and can see more than one post!

Or why not join the community on Facebook, like The Strictly Spoiler on Facebook and comment on any of the Facebook posts to gain an entry and a chance to win.

Or you can head over to Twitter and follow me, then reply to any of my tweets remembering to include the hashtag #StrictlySpoiler. Please can I ask if you are discussing the spoiler please keep it off the public strictly hashtags and limit spoiler discussion to the #StrictlySpoiler hashtag

Please also vote in this week’s poll (below) and tell me who your week 10 favourites were. You can select up to 3 options!

This site is also starting to outgrow its current hosting solution and has been experiencing outages at peak times the last few weeks. The next step up in terms of hosting is a dedicated server which I cannot afford as dedicated servers cost hundreds of pounds per month (plus there is only 2 spoiler weekends left after this one when the site will be placed under heavy traffic). If you can afford to and want to help the site out (or simply want to buy me a pint as a thanks for the spoilers) you can use the donation button below which paypal take a cut from or this link which they don’t take a cut from.
