SCD #8

[Fiderer]

Spin away oh sequined ones...

Loved that pro dance.

Absolutely loved the West Side Story group dance - could watch it every week.

I voted 2x for Claudia and 1x for Louise

I love Rinder but sadly I think his time is up! Reckon him and Ore in dance off.

Loved the west side story routine.

It's a shame so many people don't seem to be liking it this year I've really enjoyed it.

The pro dance have been quite good recently.

Myself and DD (4) gave Claudia our votes tonight - she wanted to know why they were dressed up as rabbits

Loved West Side Story!

Judge Rinder has overstayed his welcome IMO. And I can't stand Ore.

Oh and I love west side story.

West Side Story Love it!!!!

I shall be astonished if the dance off is anyone but Ore and Rinder with the latter going.

Gorgeous group dance.

Loved the west side story medley. Alijaz and janettes section was lovely. Voted 3 x Claudia.

Vited 2x Claudia (dance of the night)...DD gets a vote every week, which she faithfully gives to her favourite, Rinder.

Agree that was a dull show (apart from the pro dances). Snooker's on the other side, more appealing imo!

It was very much a show by numbers wasn't it?

Found it all very underwhelming. Not sure I'm going to bother next week.

In previous series, have they had to learn two dances by now?

I bet the viewing figures halved this week now Ed has gone. It really was quite dull. As I've said before, the pace is all off and can't imagine how they can pad out next week's episode as it feels like it should be over by now.

Loved Louise tonight and Claudia.

Voted Claudia x 3.

Choice of song for Rinder was bizarre.

Sexless persona of Calamity Jane suited Louise to a T.

WTAF with the giant flowers and sweets wafting around Ore.

And if you were going to have a passionate one night stand, because you didnt have the time [for anything longer] that One Night Only, would you really want 4 other people nosing about and trying to join in?

Really liked the West Side story bit though.

I miss Ed. Pro west side story dance was the only highlight. Two dances from next week.

Yes underwhelming sums it up - though it souldn't hqve been, had the judges given Cloudia full credit. Honestly, it puts such a downer over everything when they slag her off for no reason. I wonder whether they're trying to claw back credibility after the ridiculous overmarking (in comparison to Greg) and fawning over her jive the other week?
That aside, I don't understand why Darcey has to comment on Cloudia's characterisation again - all Louise does from week to week is a stupid grin, apart from in the paso when she transfers to 'suppressing stupid grin').
I find Louise clumpy and awkward - she nearly didn't make it on to the table tonight, and her steps often look out of sync with Kevin's. I just missed the voting but hope Cloud gets through.

I loved West Side Story. But < nitpicking > why was Maria in a red dress? Such a key part of the play, when Anita makes her a white dress which Maria says is a 'baby's dress' - until she tries it on and skips about singing 'I feel Pretty.' < overinvested >

I love Danny's dancing. He's the only one I watched.

I thought AJ and Claudia and Danny and Oti were way better than any of the others, and as much as I never took to Danny I'd much rather see him in the final with Claudia over Ore or Louise, I know I said it before but this series is not one of the better ones, for me anyway, I'll be away now for a while so I'll miss the semi final but back for the final, I want Claudia to win

Have to admit if it weren't for this thread I'd have stopped watching by now.
