Last thread here.

All ready for tonight's episode Smile Glitterball

Watching this on catch up, Ed had really improved from the clips on iplayer...

AJ makes me feel like I'm a pensioner!

BeJayKayven · 24/09/2016 22:58

I know Anastacia's a bit schmaltzy but I find her quite inspirational tbh. All her health issues (Crohns, heart problems, double mastectomy) and she keeps going through it. 🙂

Just finished episode, interrupted through supervising sleepover shenanigans.

A few surprises - LOVED Danny Mac and Oti. Brilliant song (gonna look it up now) and gorgeous to see Oti dance.

Also thought that, though Will not great, THAT was a tango. Who up thread said 'I hate you but the sex is fantastic'. They nailed that one for me!

Shaping up to be a great series though it'll be interesting to see who can keep up the pace with just a week's rehearsal.

AnyoneButAndre · 24/09/2016 23:02

Daisy doesn't just look tall, it's like she's a slightly different species, built to a different scale - like she's a horse and all the rest of us are ponies.

Chippednailvarnishing · 24/09/2016 23:09

I'm still laughing at Will's socks.

Allofaflumble · 24/09/2016 23:14

I agree Anyone. I described her as big but it was not meant as a criticism in any way. Your description is so much better!

UnGoogleable · 24/09/2016 23:20

The dance was lovely though and her partner was a bit of all right. Welcome to Strictly Allof, her partner is indeed a bit of all right. And then some.

BeJayKayven · 24/09/2016 23:20

Did I read somewhere that Daisy is dating Darius (famous for the kilt/knob photos) 😁

AnyoneButAndre · 24/09/2016 23:43

They were dating but they broke up apparently. I must admit if I were Janette I'd be ringing up Darius and asking him to reconsider. I do have irrationally strong views on the subject of the lovely Alijaz.

digerd · 25/09/2016 07:40

As Daisy lay on the floor with Alijaz holding her in his arms at the end of the dance, I thought I heard Daisy say to him " I love you". Did she?

raisedbyguineapigs · 25/09/2016 08:46

I thought I heard that digerd . I presume it was the emotion got the better of her. She was going out with Darius but not any more. Alina's fiance is on the show, so I'm kind of hoping it was nothing more than that!

LyndaNotLinda · 25/09/2016 08:57

Danny Mac was in Wicked for 4 years before he was on Hollyoaks so he really is a total ringer. At least he wasn't pretending he was crap.

DiegeticMuch · 25/09/2016 09:14

I resent former professional dancers like Danny being involved. The fun thing is seeing complete amateurs become stronger (Jay, Anita and Katie last year, for example).

I'm supporting Naga so far, she personifies elegance and is genuinely a dance virgin. Also like Claudia and Greg.

BalloonSlayer · 25/09/2016 09:20

Danny Mac made me Hmm when int the intro he said "I've just got to stop doing myself down."

The old: "What's my biggest failing? Not realising how great I am, I guess," line.

BalloonSlayer · 25/09/2016 09:21

I thought Anastacia was terrible. She nearly fell over and yet she got 8s!!

Is it part of her contract that the judges have to give her extra good marks or something?

Borogoves · 25/09/2016 09:26

I thought Daisy said thank you!

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 25/09/2016 09:43

OK, so the only dance I've rewatched is Danny. Len seriously undermarked that, but he does prefer the female celebs, I've noticed.

Runny · 25/09/2016 09:46

If the judges are seen to be favouring Anatsacia it will backfire spectacularly and the public will turn on her. Especially if she isn't very good, which IMO she wasn't.

digerd · 25/09/2016 09:56

I thought Daisy looked and danced quite beautifully and at the end of the dance I had the feeling Alijaz dropped her or she lost her balance and it was her great relief that he saved her that made her say I love you. It seemed a bit of a scramble that ending .

Also was impressed by Naga. Anastacia seemed out of synch with her partner at times and she looked as if she fell onto Brendan's lap but her sideways splits movement was brilliant.
Craig said he loved it being filthy.

I enjoyed both night's dancing and even thought Ed did really well.

Melvin was the big disappointment as he did so well in the group dance and I was expecting much better.

Ore surpassed my already high expectations for him despite his wardrobe disappointment.

TimTamTerrier · 25/09/2016 10:47

I was surprised about Melvin too digerd, he had hip motion in the group dance on the opening show. I thought he didn't really hit the beat either, which the music types usually do quite well.

I'm not sure whether DannyMac (why does he need the 'Mac' part, he's the only Danny on the show?) will make the final four. He is going to need to develop a personality to get the public to vote for him, he currently seems pleasant but so, so bland and a bit vacuous. I did enjoy watching him dance though, he has dance personality. Perhaps if he stopped speaking and did all his bits to the camera through the medium of dance he would come across better. Grin

I liked Daisy a lot. I wonder how she will cope with the latin dances though as she has very long limbs so might not be able to get the speed that she needs. If she can do latin then she will definitely make the final four IMO.

I'm really pleased with this year's group. I think there will be some seriously gorgeous dancing in this series, the kind that makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up. There hasn't been a really good line up since 2013 which had a lot of good dancers in it, 2015 and 2016 were a disappointedly low standard on average.

I thought that Lesley Joseph looked exhausted in the background on last night's show. I wonder if the day is just very long for her, it was all filmed on Friday, wasn't it? Hopefully if she's there for a few weeks she will get into a routine of having an afternoon rest before the show.

I hope Joanne isn't going to keep choreographing cutesy dances. I'm not fond of a cutesy tango, I much prefer an angry one. If I could dance a tango I'd dance it to Angel of Small Death by Hozier, the second line is 'toying somewhere between love and abuse' which is how I like a good tango to be. Dark, full of passion, a battle for dominance and the impression that the dancers can't wait to get off camera to follow through. Ore's dance last night was more of an American smooth version of a tango.

dalek · 25/09/2016 11:49

Loved it last night - no really terrible dances. Think Will Young looks like Graham Norton with that beard

Floralnomad · 25/09/2016 11:57

Late to this , we've just watched and we think Melvin should be first out on those performances . Don't know how Brendan and Anastacia got those scores - at one point if he hadn't caught her she'd have fallen over . Love Will , but he is bonkers , we've seen him live a few times and the things he wears on stage are mad .

ppeatfruit · 25/09/2016 13:27

Oh blimey the new thread has 14 pages ffs!! Apologies for not reading it all and many thanks for it to Polka

I LOVED the opening waltz with everyone in it (do you think the producers read our threads and have taken note??!!!)

Yes there was too much over marking; has Craig had a brain transplant???

prettygirlincrimsonrose · 25/09/2016 15:40

Really enjoyed that. Had to pick jaw up off the floor after Anastacia's splits, but agree it was a high score given the mistakes.

MargotLovedTom · 25/09/2016 16:23

Will Young is like Morrissey's younger brother with the same undershot jaw. Daisy is an Amazonian type with a bloody fabulous figure, not all frail looking like Abbie Clancey was, and I love it when Brendan has a filthy older woman type like Anastacia and Claire King.

I miss Tristan's beautiful face though Sad.
