SCD 2016 #6 - Halfway there! Can we mention the B word now?

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

New thread as the last one is getting very full.

I hope Ed stays - his timing is very good. Daisy seems nice, but a bit boring, although Daisy Daisy is very nice for a Viennese.

Nuggets Dad

All this chat about Andre Somesuch and loo roll dresses. I didn't notice anything other than Natalie and Brendan's waltz. It was stunning.

Andre Rieu looks like the baddy from Ghostbusters 2

How much training has Ore had?

I've not found mention of any via google. Which doesn't mean he hasn't had any, obviously.

I can tell that Ore has had some dance training just as judge Rinder has.

Greg and Ed Balls are the ones with none.

Louise has also had training and suspect Claudia did as well

Danny s the most accomplished and talented with Claudia who has improved her dance quality amazingly well.

Can we refer to Greg as nugget's dad from now on

Ore is a naturally talented dancer, I would say, who has probably had some dancing lessons over the years - didn't he do a dance for Comic Relief or something? But he is hardly a trained dancer, and has worked hard since joining Strictly.

Ore has said he hasn't had any training but perhaps he's just danced in clubs etc?

Ed Balls does keep turning up on all the politics shows. He was on Peston on Sunday.

Anyone looking for a laugh, the inimitable Monkseal is on top form.

Except he remains immune to the Ed Siren Call, Fiderer . But yes, I love his writing

Ha ha, love the Mighty Monkseal!

Monkseal's results report is now up too. He has some cracking screenshots of "Captain Smugface and his Loo Roll Cover Orchestra"

Fiderer - you beat me to it! I came on to say exactly that!

His disclaimer was my favourite part:

"(Disclaimer : I’m sure there’s every chance Andre Rieu is a lovely person and there’s nothing at all pathological about his desire to tour the world with women arranged in hideous froo-froo dresses about him like taximdermy)"

I loved ALL of the Remembrance episode, Yes the waltz by Brendan and Natalie was A..MAZ…ING. I really didn't know that he was such a good dancer.

I think that Andre Rieu's orchestra should have joined the dancing in a V formation (reminded me of the 'Old Style" ballroom look I know it's cheesy but It's ok IMO.

Andre Rieu was just AWFUL, not least because he wasn't miked up, but I just watched the dancing! There's another thread going on about who's going to be struck by the strictly bed-hopping curse but I really don't know of any this year - could it be the only year that it doesn't happen?!

I hope it doesn't happen to Daisy and Eljaz because he's supposed to be marrying Janette soon. Though they do seem to be very friendly.

Just putting this here......

It's uncanny...

I'm so behind- only just watched Saturdays show!

Thought it was gregs best dance so far, also louise's. Lovely dresses on louise and jo! Felt daisy suffered from the crap version of the song- it had no energy. Katya is a geniuses at choreography and deserves a ringer next year! Oti is also fab and a pity Danny hasn't had more of a "journey"!

And wasn't tess lovely when she relaxed after Ed!

There's a bit of a story doing the rounds that Laura sent Giovanni abusive text messages/made derogatory comments about him and his dance ability on Twitter. Have no idea if it's true but there definitely seemed a chasm of chilliness between them.

Just popping in to congratulate you all on these wonderful threads.

I have to admit that I cannot stand Judge Rinder, he's about as engaging as a wet face cloth that was last used in the nether regions; and Greg should have gone, in fact he should have gone weeks ago - he has the personality of a gnat.

Looking forward to Blackpool, though not to watching the above.

PS, I think this is going to be Kevin's year. He's just brilliant.

Elendon I couldn't disagree more, can't stand asexual Kevin and judge rinder and Greg are my favourites!
