Semi-Finals are approaching... SCD Thread 9!

[Gooseysgirl]

As you were...

Joe Varney is such a sweaty man!

Sweaty but still quite charming in his very Italian way

Something is clearly going on with Kevin and Karen. My gut feeling is that are already separated and haven't yet announced it, but will continue to dance together professionally.

Of course I could be wrong. I hope I am because I adore Kevin. He is so lovely and cute.

We voted for Alexandra, Gemma and Joe. I think Mollie and Gemma for the DO this week.

I hope Debbie gets through even though I didn't vote for her this week.

All three of our votes for Joe. Shame he stumbled, but I still enjoy his enthusiasm and infectious grin the most

Fuzzy - you missed me!

(I've just read all the thread that I missed)

My favourite rumba ever was Vincent & Rachel Stevens'.

It's not like K&K compete though, so splitting their partnership isn't as serious (obviously a shame about their marriage, but the dancing won't be a complete disaster).

I thought the marking was a bit all over the place and inconsistent tonight.

Thought Debbie's foxtrot was much better than her jive.

Oh my god I LOVED the Go Jetters ad at the end of that!

Waves to fuzzy I was watching on filmon and didn't want to push it with asking my PC to do more than one thing! ICT donkey
Hello to FirstTimeUnicorn

So many people saying they are voting for Alexandra tonight. Thats a bit of a change.

Was watching on catchup so haven't been able to vote :-(

AJ still pings my gaydar

Mine too, Hangry. I'd put money on him being on the other bus.

That lift at the end of Joe's AT 😮 I luvs him so much!!

Mollie showed tonight that she is way out of her depth. Anyone know if her score for the samba is the lowest semi final score ever?

Debbie's jive was really not good and cannot believe it was marked as high as it was!!

iI voted gemma. Mollie and Joe
I had to tune out of the murdering of Human when Joe danced,
didn't like Debbies jive, but if I was her I would pinch that other dress.
so fed up with the OTT Alex love by the judges. yes she and debbie are good. but they were good before they started,
i would like Joe to win as my other 2 won't.

Ah. Have finished thread now and caught up with you. Agree with most comments this evening particularly Tess comforting Mollie with her 'little tear' - ooh that was cringey. Also yes, that last lift of Joe and Katya did look like a wheelbarrow is that another sex position I could never be arsed to do
Schaden indeed. If I am going to ship anyone, it will be AJ and Joe.

Mollie has been out of her depth for weeks! She HAS to go, she's wooden, I have no idea how she got 8s for her second dance, it was better, but not as good as the other competitors.

In terms of freestyles, I too would like to see Katya's. It would be interesting to see how many lifts AJ would throw into his. (#cloudiawuzrobbed) but it would probably be romantic contempwaft.
Gorka has never done one and Alex can do Latin well.
Between Gio and Aljaz - not sure. Gio did that very unoriginal blindfolded one with GG and Aljaz did that pasorock gunsnroses one with Abbey and humungous amounts of dry ice.
I am sitting on the bench/bench bothering.
Joe - a medley (Katya and Neil aren't daft)
Alex - Latiny pop (although in fairness her ballroom isn't bad)
Debs - something balletic
Gemma - top hat n tails (Latin and lifts to be avoided at all costs)
Mollie - Snowdance 2

Voted for Joe and Gemma (twice, to help her beat Mollie into the final).
DD is still wide-eyed about Bruno's threatened flasher dance!

Alexandra is my DD's favourite and usually gets a vote from her (and did tonight). I have voted for Debbie, Gemma and Joe during the series, DH voted for Gemma tonight as he is finding this year's hyper-version of Alijaz entertaining to watch.

If Alexandra does get into the dance off tonight, she'll still end up in the final. I have managed to stay away from the spoilers so far but might have to check tonight!

I felt really sorry for mollie, she was so thrown by the samba that she was still sad when she danced her second dance. Dancing-wise she should go, but I still think she's progressed loads as a dancer. Wardrobe clearly hate her, both of her dresses had odd waists and made her look like she had no curves, which is disastrous for the samba!
That last move for Joe's AT was incredible, pity they had such an obvious wobble otherwise it'd have got some 10s.
I didn't like Alex's salsa, it seemed so frantic that I couldn't work out what was going on. And the jive was too fast for debbeh.

As we saw from their Salsa and AS respectively, Alexandra and Debbie are both able to pull offbeat jaw dropping lifts without ruining the flow of the dance so I have very high hopes.

Crossing my fingers for a Joe vs Mollie dance off which would send Mollie home, keep the final very interesting, and let me see that AT again. However I think the best I can realistically hope for is Debbie vs Mollie which would give Alexandra a break, and get rid of Mollie (nothing against her personally but she’s the weakest dancer and the showmance is doing my head in).

Ooh good point. As much as I absolutely want Joe to win, him being in the dance off and smashing the AT would be awesome 😊

Yes id like that dance off too.
