SCD 2013 #4: We're off to Blackpool!

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

Thread four here we go! Link to the last thread here.

So, Natalie's through to next week and we'll see who's going to be joining her in the Tower Ballroom So much nicer than Wembley.

I s'pose there are Spanish cowboys it's a big country. maybe they were thinking of Mexico where there are cowboys though and they speak Spanish too. digerd

I can imagine there's a lot of beatching and moaning behind the scenes in Strictly

Yes it was Ashley and yes Ola was right as his shoes were not suitable for dancing in never mind the jive with the flicks and kicks.

When they showed the dresses, I noticed the one with the frilly/frothy tail and immedediately thought how dangerous that was for getting a heel caught in it and that is exactly what happened on the night

Now that was Vicky who seems highly experienced i wonder why she'd let that pass? and the dancer herself should've realised; was there a dress rehearsal i wonder?

I was wondering that too, but sometimes it goes Ok at the dress rehearsal as they are being extra careful.

I am off out tonight & tomorrow so will miss it Will watch on iPlayer later. Have fun everyone!

OMG: Ben and Kristina milked that entrance. And he hasn't got dressed.

Groan - dear old Brucie can't even read the auto cue
He's 85 fgs - time he retired!

Her spray tan is patchy under the arms

It looked ok , music was dreadful.

Dh read me something about Bruce admitting he's reaching the end. I can't find it though

Bruce is still fine with the off the cuff stuff, they should drop the autocue. That was embarrassing for him.

Urgh, Darcey! Cha Cha Cha is the easiest of the Latin dances to learn so stop with the "it's such a hard dance" nonsense

I like Susannah here. She seems to enjoy it.
She does annoy me on Breakfast though.

Ola dress is stunning

And like Tess, he can't pronounce Ola properly!

Enough with the 'Oh-la'!

Strangely pleased Susanna didn't do that well as she's started to come across a bit smug!

Lovely dance by Ashley

Tess's face when Bruce screwed up was just awful - I await Monkseal's screen grabs with interest. If I'm ever in a car crash I pray that she's not the first one on the scene, because she's bloody useless in a crisis.

Did he have his left arm very wide there or something? Ola's arm looked really odd at the end, as if her elbow was locked.

Yes, she just left him floundering, Dream - not that she's trying to highlight the fact that he's past it because she wants his job.
Oh no.

Yes, she didn't help at all, just pulled a face.

Thanks for the link Sooty - we can only hope!

Oh here we go!! Natalie :-/

Stilted conversation there...
