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

Apologies for Daily Mail link but poor Claudia and her poor daughter.....

Was just coming on to do that Minty Get well soon Mathilda and love to the Winkleman family

How awful for lovely Claudia and her family. I suspected it must be something serious, I didn't read the article in full, so I have my fingers crossed she has a speedy recovery

Poor wee thing. Must be awful for all of them. Heal fast, little one.

How awful for them all- I hope she makes a quick recovery.

Could I ask a couple of questions? I don't always see it as there are too many non dancing men in my house!

1. just watching it takes 2 and they all talk about having 4 days to practice- do the celebs not get 3 months general dance training before the show starts, or did I imagine that?!

2. do the celebs still do a group dance? I vaguely recall a group dance each week- was that years ago?!

Just heard about Claudias daughter on the radio. So horrific. Hope she makes a full recovery.

Poor little girl.

Ref. Claude's dd; poor little dd it sounds horrendous. But no lasting damage . (just heard on R2).

ref. Pasha I feel like Matt Lucas, but he is GORGEOUS!!!!!! there's no comparison between him and Kev who is a brill dancer but his teeth are not clean and he always looks slightly grubby IFYSWIM (sorry that sounds horrible).

I've always reckoned Zoe as a presenter she's very bright and sweet natured. I missed the actual weekend shows bur watching IT2 the dances don't look that good. Frankie reminds me of a rabbit we had once who looked sweet but "although lights are on there's no one in" and the unnecessary botox doesn't do her favours IMO.

Poor Matilda and Claudia how traumatic for all concerned. Hope she makes a full and speedy recovery.

Yes, how awful about Claudia's daughter. Sounds like she's getting wonderful care and, of course, good old Claud at her bedside must help.

Selfishly, I want Claudia back on the show as soon as possible, but I did think Zoe was good, warm and natural and funny and showed up Tess for the presenterbot she is.

Whaaaaat? frankie has had Botox???

Surely Frankie can't have had botox?
She's what, 22 years old?

I didn't entirely get the Pasha adoration but he just winked at the camera on ITT and oh my.

Love Claudia and wishing her daughter a full and speedy recovery.

Tess is just absolutely bloody dreadful this year. Brucie's dreadfulness masked hers for 10 bloody years but now she's got no one to hide behind and Claudia and Zoe have shown her up as the mediocre presenter she is. SCD Producers, if you're reading, get rid of Tess and get Zoe or Anton to partner up with Claudia.

Now, I'm in SCD rant, how the feck is Alison still in? How is the woman even famous? She's got to go next as she's been the worst there with Scott for weeks. Alison next then Simon, Judy, Steve, Pixielix, Frankie then Jake.

Caroline, Mark or Sunetra to win as they are all fabulous.

Did you hear Alison's comment about working harder so she's not in this position again in the post results credits? Oh dear.

I read all the dancers are noticed, including armpits, so they don't sweat pints!

Botoxed not noticed! dyac!

You're kidding Tanaqui ARMPITS botoxed to stop sweating???? is that healthy?

Frankie's forehead never moves even if you're 22 your skin moves !!!

Alijaz said he sweated buckets when he dances - so much that he can't always see out ... nice ... not (nope, not even with him!).

I've heard of female celebrities getting their armpits botoxed so they don't sweat on the designer dresses they borrow for the red carpet

SmellyFurtado At least Alison has a feel for the dance even though her feet are flat due to her size. But Judy is just like a plank!! She should go VERY SOON (I was amazed that the public voted out Thom before her actually).

Alison next then Simon, Judy...

Judy needs to go before either of those and most definitely before Simon.

Surely Judy simply has to go this weekend. Closely followed by Alison, and then Simon. And then things get difficult because all the others are really very good

then things get difficult because all the others are really very good

I think about which 3 should be in the final and then the order the others go in is irrelevant really. Jake and Frankie should be in the final with, I think, Caroline or maybe Pixie. Not sure about Mark yet as he seems to be improving every week. Sunetra is good but not good enough for the final and I think this goes for Steve too who struggled badly this week.

Yes that's true Owl - Sunetra and Steve out before the final. Mark is my current dark horse - his jive and samba were really impressive.

From the point of view of it not mattering which order the dodgy ones leave, I wish Scott had stayed as he was far more entertaining than Alison.
