SCD 2016 #7 - They're! In! Blackpool! The spiritual home of ballroom dancing, donkey rides, rock and... huge amounts of theming apparently?

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

The last thread is almost full, so I thought we'd be prepared.

Despite the title I do love the Blackpool week really Fingers crossed for a nice ballroom dance from the pros.

Eek, stuffed that lift up

Where's the salsa?! I counted about 16 bars of actual salsa steps/arm moves

The dances I enjoyed least were Bob and Greg.

Rinder seems to have actually put weight on in the course of the competition.
Disappointing from him this week, I thought.

That was rubbish.

WTF Craig. Really??

Oh and I didn't see ITT A yesterday but I loathe Gethin Jones, he's an utter bore, so that doesn't hurt Old Bobs reputation in my eyes

its all wrong this week tbh

Ew Craig fancies Judge

Craig!

Hmmm. Lacking a spark for me. Still love The Rinder though.

i thought it looked laboured too, but the judges know their stuff I suppose!

Lol at Judge Grindr!!!

I agree cndensed - there doesn't seem to be the quality or exuberance this year that we have had in others.

Thursday I agree, no time for Gethin Jones's delivery...

Was that a reference to Grindr by Craig?!
Some very over enthusiastic comments.

I'm definitely voting Ed just to spite them.

Agree that the singing was awful. Not much you can do with that song.

2kids- I was thinking the same . He looks like he has gained weight. Is that possible with all the hours of training?

I like Greg and Rinder but neither song which put me off the dances. Not sure where my votes are going yet.

I tend to think that people are a bit harsh on the singers but God that was awful! It was so hard to concentrate on the dancing with that going on!

Do love judge rinder though.

I think quite a few will Soup

They sooooooo clearly want Ed out

Ed and Danny were my favourites - and I never thought I'd be saying that.

I dont know if you happen to listen to Fighting Talk on 5live chatnanny but I can't listen when Gethin is on it. He is entirely without self awareness or a healthy sense of irony.

Same here Soup.
