SCD #5 Blackpool and onwards

[ThursdayLastWeek]

Please continue to keeeeeeeeeeeeeeep dancing!

(I'm sorry I'm so bad at threads)

tkband was just coming to post the same thing. Very brave of the BBC to post something asking 'what we learnt at Blackpool'

Yes the comments were still there. Tristan did v well to be so careful of slagging off the BBC but being fair to Jamelia.

Dumbledoresgirl- you misspelt 'gorgeous' when you mentioned Jay - just saying

Well, I was going to say spelling is a generational thing, but then I saw the poster was you Kurri. So ... I am mystified.... Well, each to their own. You stick with 'gormless' Jay and I'll stick with 'gorgeous' Gleb.

Really not good of the Beeb to be so into bribes and backhanders re favourites and fixing of Strictly.

Dh & I were discussing if this may lead to a change in judges for next year.

I don't see why the judges would change, they were following Beeb orders. They might have been booted out if they hadn't saved Orange Pete. TBH, I could do without Bruno, I find the theatrics a bit boring now and he rarely says anything of substance. I'd be sorry to see Craig go, he gives loads of relevant feedback.

OMG. I feel completely bouleversed and very naive! It is like discovering your parents have been lying to you about Santa Claus all along.

But why would they want PA to stay in? Cos he's a guy and there's only 2 left? Cos Jamelia is a rebel? Why, why???

Really not good of the Beeb to be so into bribes and backhanders re favourites and fixing of Strictly.

Very dodgy. You do wonder if anyone legally minded and with enough time on their hands would push for refund of their mobile phone voting charges just because. Mind you, having a dance off with a subjective assessment made by the judges probably gets them over that hurdle.

Yes,I can't understand why they need to fix results. If the public really like someone,then surely that will show in the voting,so why try to keep someone unpopular in? I'm really disappointed if it's a fix, it's the first year I've got really hooked on it!

I read NPP as not-perfect Peter most of the time Also the pants thing isn't necessarily weird - my partner's dance shirts all have pants sewn onto the bottom, a bit like a leotard, so a second pair might spoil the line.

I was watching with some friends who dance, and with Jamelia's quickstep they were saying "ooh, we have that in our routine" - NPP's jive not so much...

Jamelia is claiming the shoe is fixed - no new information really, looks like they just took this from ITT.

I am sure one reason is to have 2 men competing against each other to make the show more interesting than having just one.

*Show!

MrsJamin I thought at first you meant a wardrobe malfunction

Theydon'tknow
YES he did and other remarks I found a bit . He was unusually chatty and even spoke over Aiona who was looking a touch uneasy.
Think Jay had been at the 'noggins' or something due to it being Zoe's birthday.
And the 3 woman Tiller Girl tipsy looking kicks and flicks made me think "Don't call us, we'll call you"

Karen's sideways kick is a stage dance move but it all looked tongue in cheek to me and wasn't sure what she meant, if anything.

movember we were thinking that If Darcy was so uncomfortable with the backlash she might leave. I'd prefer Bruno to go though

Last night the official Strictly twitter account tweeted "Love the fact that Jamelia is happy to leave Strictly in Blackpool in a "blaze of controversy" #ItTakesTwo" - but I can't find that tweet now. I think they might have deleted in because of all the negative comments underneath.

There's little lies that SCD tells and they bug me even though they shouldn't. Jay's hair now is like it used to be when he was in The Wanted. He grew it so he could cut for charity, which he did. But then one SCD they did a VT where they pretended that Aliona asked him to cut his hair so that he could play the part in his dance better. But that isn't why he cut his hair so why pretend so? I know it's minor but there's little lies that they scatter through the show. I think ever since I read Ben Elton's Chart Throb I've been cynical of reality shows. Everyone is assigned a character and a journey from the start. Doesn't stop me watching though!

I've been reading NPP as Nasty Plastic Pete.

If this isn't enough to love Jay then I don't know what is

Shehasawildheart, that link explains about jays hair cut!

Yes, possibly, that hadn't occurred to me TheDrs. Being forced to vote a particular way would bother me, and I think Darcy and Craig have some integrity and found it difficult. I think Bruno seemed fairly unbothered though, I doubt he's going to voluntarily leave over a minor thing like moral integrity.

MrsJamin exactly, he did something great for charity but instead they made it all silly on SCD.

Only one other poster (I think) has mentioned what Jay said about cutting up that little boys legs and arms and putting it in a bag,etc ?! I think that's what I heard, unbelievably...

WTAF?!

I'm dreading NPP being on ITT tonight, he will be unbearably smug.

Glad you're all fighting over Jay and Gleb, means I can have the Italian loveliness that is Giovanni.
