Graham Notton was definitely there.

MrsJayy · 18/11/2017 23:08

Yes saw Graham i reckon he hoofed it in the car with tess after a few wines Grin

ElspethFlashman · 18/11/2017 23:12

Also Aljaz! Weeping away with Janette weeping in the background. His emotions are all over the place!

DH said "Never has someone with so very many teeth looked like he has no teeth at all".

(We have such a laugh to this program, I'll be so sad when it ends)

ElspethFlashman · 18/11/2017 23:13

I presume people already spotted JK Rowling on the other thread? Lotta work done.

OneInAMillionYou · 19/11/2017 01:32

Was at the tennis again tonight so had to record but couldn't go to bed until we'd watched it, admittedly with a LOT of fast forwarding through the ghastly VTs and post mark gushing.

I found it a really disappointing show overall. Am actually thinking I may part ways with Strictly.

This year's casting is, in my opinion, the worst year ever. The only dance I was looking forward to tonight was Gemma and Aljaz, and that mainly for Aljaz personality and his delightful partnering. She did well though.

The unsuitable music choices, totally alien to the character of each dance, the idiots in the audience clapping out of time to every song, the ugly costumes and colour schemes this week..

Blackpool is as bad as Halloween now. I hope to see some delightful ballroom with beautiful gowns in the next few weeks but I'm not holding my breath.

Again. In my view, Strictly seems to have picked up many of the worst elements from Dancing With The Stars. It's a shame.

Johnny looked hurt by the posture comments, but he is really phoning it in now and deserves to go. Were we supposed to be moved that Kevin has been wanting to do that Paso since he was eight??

Sorry to be a downer but I found it very dispiriting, and yes, I also can't stand the extra dancers on the floor, couldn't even see the main couple at some points.

OneInAMillionYou · 19/11/2017 01:33

Yes, J K Rowling, all that money and plastic surgery and she still doesn't look pretty. Someone should stage an intervention there!

Lenny Henry looked very handsome!

RosyWelshcakes · 19/11/2017 02:12

Shame she has outlived her potential on the show though sad

Susan never had potential. She’s been used by the producers of Strictly as this years ‘special’ contestant and if she didn’t realize after that awful VT of her holding the huge vat of popcorn she never will.

She’s in actual fact more of a ringer than Alexandra - but not in a good way.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 19/11/2017 06:47

Much prefer the old 'I'm just happy to be here and giving it my all' Susan.

Same here.

When I heard her talk back to Shirley I thought "Whoa! You're dead in the water now, mate!" but as you say, Shirley just ignored it - I think she noticed because she did say something about the arms being outisde the body if you are holding your dress, and gave a quick demo.

But I lost a bit of love for Susan tonight - I had thought she was great, but now I don't know whether we might be seeing the real Susan, or whether success has gone to her head. Hmm

Slartybartfast · 19/11/2017 06:55

watching it i dont think kevin looks derisory, perhaps a touch of sour grapes

BalloonSlayer · 19/11/2017 08:04

I think the extra dancers were a massive mistake in Kevin and Susan's dance. When it's just the two of them they look OK, his choreography works for her, their affection for each other shines through and you don't notice that she is not the classical dancer shape or ability. With the other professionals there she stuck out like a sore thumb and looked like Mrs Pepperpot in a strop .I was hoping she'd stay in but now I don't think she will. Sad

Gooseysgirl · 19/11/2017 08:50

I really didn’t enjoy Susan’s performance at all... it looked like KFG was showboating Hmm Looking at where Debbie was on the leaderboard I think she could be in trouble! My favourite performance was Gemma and Alijaz, also enjoyed Davood (although more showboating from Nadiya AGAIN!!!)

OublietteBravo · 19/11/2017 09:03

Has anyone worn traditional ballroom dress this series? I'm a bit board of all the 'modern' costumes.

CeeBeeBee · 19/11/2017 09:10

There is a chance that Debbie will be in the dance off but the judges will save her, unless she's against Alex, who had an infinitely better dance than her last night.

AppleKatie · 19/11/2017 09:12

KFG was showboating! I think they've totally come to terms with the fact that's she's miraculously stayed longer than she should have. Shame, but time for her to go!

Figgygal · 19/11/2017 09:13

If last night achieved anything it was reminding me how much I loved strictly ballroom. They are doing a musical version in London west end next year I'm off to try get tickets and convince dh to come with me.

I liked that Kevin finally got to do his yearned for pasa doble and he obviously loved it but maybe left Susan behind a bit.

TheSassyAssassin · 19/11/2017 09:23

If he could Kevin would definitely have Farted Glitter for votes last night! Wink

WrenNatsworthy · 19/11/2017 09:23

I am really missing Len now. This series seems to be getting a bit joyless.
I'm backing Gemma.

pinkandstripey · 19/11/2017 09:25

Long time lurker, always check in for your excellent summing up of show and dancers!

PP referenced Karen's nemesis being Will Young. I totally missed that last year - what's the story there??

I so badly wanted Johnnie to be brilliant, but he's run his course now (pun intended), Johnnie to go this week for me :(

Alwaysfrank · 19/11/2017 09:30

I always read the thread but don't normally post but I had to join in to say that Johnny's costume didn't help matters- a great big neon yellow arrow pointing to his sticking out bum!

RosyWelshcakes · 19/11/2017 09:38

I’ve just read an article that pointed the way to Twitter comments re Alexandra’s fake crying.

Cherrypi · 19/11/2017 09:43

Surely top of the leaderboard is still safe at this stage?

ppeatfruit · 19/11/2017 09:47

Marking my place luvvies!!! Thanks Thursday It was a campfest , some of the make up and costumes were the teeniest bit overdone!!!!!

BUT the music and the camera work and lighting were better than usual. They should always use Blackpool IMHO.!!!!!

I wonder if Katiya will be injured, she went down with a smack!!!!

digerd · 19/11/2017 09:48

Alex is obviously the best dancer and Susan the worst. Was disappointed with cute Joe but his pyjamas were really a bad choice of costume and did him no favours.
Debbie is always the same with every dance - very balletic and lacks the earthy body/hip movements in her latin. Ballroom will suit her ballet style better.

Molly is pleasant to watch
I have a special liking for Gemma but only realised how statuesque she is when Jeanette was standing behind her (crying with joy for Aljaz). She has made the most improvement.

Perhaps Joe and Johnnie in the DO?

ppeatfruit · 19/11/2017 10:00

As I thought poor Mollie (who hates lifts) had to hauled around by "me me me me" AJ. She so sweetly said how strong he is. Though she did seem to enjoy some of that weird 'bird themed' charleston. Who said it was about the seagulls ? Grin

Claud should refuse to do those stupid 'comedy'. sketches

CaveMum · 19/11/2017 10:17

Re. The Joe/Katya final lift, I'm pretty sure I k ow what was meant to happen but don't know what the lift is officially called so can't find a video.

I think what was supposed to happen was that Joe should have been in a sort of squat position so that as Katya dropped she would have stopped and rested on his thighs. Instead Joe was too upright and legs not bent enough, so there was not enough of Joe's leg to stop her, it just caught her slightly before she hit the floor. Ouch!
