SCD#3 - 4 or 5* dances this movie week?

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

Bit fast there on the thread finishing chums! Last thread here

Didn't anyone feel it was a bit off when Karen Clifton made sure to thank and name check the choreographers for her dance when the choreography had been roundly criticised by the judges?

Yes I noticed that BeJayKaven. It did look quite pointed, making it clear that not only was the choreography not Will's fault, it wasn't hers either.

I can't wait to read Monkseal this week!

I'd like to see ringer Danny go, and some of the weak ones, the genuine novices like Naga, Lesley and Ed, get the opportunity to improve a little and learn more. It'll never happen though. I'm with SoupDragon on the unfairness of this. The celebs should be learners, not stage school/musicals alumni.

Didnt Karen thank the Bollywood choreographer though? The judges didn't criticise that as such, it was the fact that it wasn't what the dance was meant to be.

Ed just throws himself into it 100%. He is going to fall down with the slower dances as he does look a bit Dad Dancing when he does those parts but the more frenetic parts he is fun to watch. He's not bad in the same way as, say, Scott Mills or Judy Murray was. I said it last season, it doesn't matter how the lower dancers are picked off, the right ones end up in the final weeks regardless. Until then, he can stay as far as I'm concerned.

Don't know who picked that song/music, but the choreography suited it perfectly. If anyone was at fault it was the person/people who chose that Bollywood music for a Latin dance.

Just watched Ore again and he looked like a pro.

Lesley has definitely danced before but not all who are taught dance are good dancers or can still do it well at 70. Lesley is and can.

Lesley is so fit, I couldn't keep up with her!

We have this every year and i sort of agree but not many actors /singers have not had dance training i am really suss of Daisy more than Danny she looks like she has had a lesson or 5 she is very/to good. I enjoyed last night I love jai ho routines so liked Will and karen

I like them all. I wanted to like Naga more than I do, but she doesn't appear to be enjoying herself at all. With Pasha.

I like Naga mission impossible tango was awful though

I did notice a lack of warmth between Naga and Pasha.

Naga looks as though she hates it.

I wouldn't be sorry to see Louise go and I think Kevin is already sulking.

Laura doesn't do anything for me either.

Did anyone else think Claudia and AJ were better than the smug twat from Hollyoaks? That was the dance of the series so far, the only dampner was Len's miserable reaction to the custard pies.

When cRaig came out with a 9 for Claudia and AJ I thought there would be a 10 from one of the others.

I wonder if Louise will be a slow burner, through design or actual skill Level, and suddenly turn into a wonderful dancer in the later weeks.

Naga was on politics programme this morning. Doing the day job AND dancing practice must be daunting.

Tames is becoming increasingly irritating, as is Will. Would be happy to see either go, but sadly it will probably be Naga or Ed.

Yes Runny Len looks increasingly grumpy off camera

I'd be surprised if Ed went anywhere this week.

Do none of you go on Strictly spoiler and find out the result ?

Have been watching Claudia and AJs dance back on YouTube and it is my favourite dance of this series so far. One of those dances where everything (costumes, set, music, dancing) is just right.

I never look at the spoiler. Please no hints if you have.

Floral - some do BUT under a SCD pinky-swear to not mention it, even a mild clue.

I feel I looked at the spoiler, it would ruin 30 mins of My tv entertainment this evening.
