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.

Can't believe that was marked below Ore! I mean it wasn't pefefect, but it was better than he was!

Ah yes Runny the Gleb factor.

Oh please stop these stupid vt's

Fab dress

He's not in time

I have a girl crush on Oti. Those legs. And boobs .

He's a bit slow

Perhaps the judges do take into account past experience even if they shouldn't... so Claudio's gymnastics and Louise's stage school training should equip her better than Ore's journalism? I wish they had some sort of official added value for setting off from scratch like Ore, Greg and Ed for instance.

is Danny a bit heavy legged in this? Not quite there somehow

Oti is fab . . . Danny not so much . . .

I'm feeling all out of sorts. I'm not liking the transition to Blackpool. Louise is my favourite but that routine with the extra dancers swamped her.

I'm not keen on the dress - the straps are odd, the lining is really obvious when she spins, and we just got a massive flash of her pants.

I know people don't like Danny but I loved that!

My brain just screams RINGER! Whenever Danny is onscreen

What was the music for the paso?

Oh that was really good.

Danny looks too polished for a Charleston, it was more like an American Smooth. I just think a Charleston should be a bit looser and silly.

I actually thought Oti was a bit fast at points. He seemed on beat to me.

Excellent point

Danny looked like a professional there.

Funny that.

40????

That's got to be 40

Are the judges watching the same performance as we are?

40 this time? I think it deserves it.

agree chatnanny seems v unfair and Danny looks so obviously slick and trained
