SCD 2014 #3: When we hopefully lose some of the ones who can't actually dance...

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

Carrying on from thread two.

I thought we might be a bit short on space on the old thread (especially if somebody we like goes!) so here's a shiny new one for Hallowe'en results onwards

Thanks Tenysmum Was it to show how high Blackpool Ballroom is do you think?

I cannot fault Pixie but Frankie's feet and ankles I can. She has never closed her feet together but has a lovely face.

Pixie doesn't always track properly, and her heel turns weren't great in the foxtrot, but she has a good top line, so it's easier for her to get away with it.

There was a security issue last year wasn't there? Some things stolen from the pros' dressing rooms I think.

Polka my dance teacher told me in real competitions people can get away with not so great footwork if they have a brilliant top line. He said he's known people who have got to finals where their footwork was quite shoddy but their performance was so good and they had such an exaggerated top line that they were put through regardless. So Strictly is actually quite realistic in that regard in that they often ignore poor footwork. I'll let Pixie off with the heel turns though, they're really hard!

Was looking at strictly dances from past series on YouTube and got sucked in watching some of the suggestions that get thrown up. Came across this:

I was like this >

I don't actually know what to think. It's of its time I suppose. There were a couple of gasp out loud moments for me.

Probably ppeatfruit. Blackpool Ballroom looks such a special venue. I would love to visit one day. Fingers crossed Mark will be in the bottom two - though that is looking less and less likely each week. I couldn't bear it if he somehow won.

Mark cried once, but to read the comments you'd think he cried every episode.

I thought that, wildheart - all that stuff about him 'snotting' - every time I've seen him he's grinning his head off! What's nice about him is his obvious delight in the whole thing and discovering that he can really dance.

It's definitely true Pandora - I had the opposite problem, my feet and legs were very clean for a beginner, but I really struggled with my shoulder line. It was a bit annoying that people could dance the steps not as well and still get through! It made me work harder on it though...

Blackpool Tower is very nice, and the Winter Gardens are absolutely beautiful too.

I do hope Judy goes tonight but I have a horrible feeling that she won't.

Oh no. I wanted to see Sunetra do the waltz next week.

If she's against Judy, you will.

Jesus McBusted are fucking crap.

This is painful!

Oh, had a feeling Sunetra may be in the bottom 2 as her Samba was not good.

I heart Mc Busted. Dougie. Phwoar.

I still love mcbusted. At least they're singing live.

Oh ffs mcbusted are total shit. Embarrassed for them can someone please send them an urgent memo to remind them they are no longer 15?!

God McBusted really are bad...

What's Matt done to this hair? I still would, obv

McBusted is McRubbish. Harry Judd was much hotter when he was on the show.

Sunetra in the dance off is not a surprise.

Mc busted really are rubbish, aren't they? not a fan of the faux American accents and Matt's singing is atrocious

Harry Judd can play my air guitar whenever he likes.

Oh yes love a bit of Harry. I so hope Judy is in the dance off..

Mcshit. Matt is a terrible singer.

Mark cried twice actually and I hope hes out this week.
