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

[Gooseysgirl]

As you were...

Davood does seem like a properly lovely bloke. Dull as a toast sandwich but very sweet.

I don’t think that it’s “biased” for the judges to prefer one of the best dancers in the competition to stay in over less able dancers - it’s their raison d’etre surely? Especially after Aston went out, a final without Alexandra (or without Debbie) would be a travesty.

And that Charleston had a few tricky moves which they could have cocked up. I think it’s fine to celebrate the fact that they’d nailed it.

He seemed to get his hands full of boobies when he caught her - let go of her as though she was red hot!

My word (changes subject> seal lions are cleverer than you think - and fish are faster.

I liked Davood
These turtles sitting at the bottom is just wrong. Like the Whales sleeping vertically...

Shame Davood has gone, at least he was having a juuuuurneeey!

Howway the lads!

Get those tuna!

Yes - those upside-down hanging whales still make me vaguely uneasy . . .

They didn't nail it though. She still had her knees apart in the propellor thing and the barrel roll was still upright. The two things Craig mentioned as being wrong.

Those fish are HUGE!

I think if the judges would acknowledge that AB and Debbeh do make mistakes, rather than praising them unreservedly, then people would be a lot more kindly disposed towards them.

They've both given performances which were NT prefect, but still got 10's (too many 10's given out too early in the competition to my mind)

Aaah! Starfish and WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!

The Savage Kingdom of the Starfish.

Run Limpets / / / Oh dear!

Cunning little things limpets! Go squishy!

Oooh bad fish! Down boy!

Just caught up, just found the new thread!

Gorka looked absolutely livid to be in the dance-off.

Thanks Goosey

According to DS, Mollie will have to do a samba next week which, based on previous fast Latin dances, I predict will be a disaster. Think that might be one step too far for her next week.

After last night, I am totally Team Joe now

OCTOPUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Time the judges realized their constant over-praising of Alexandra and Debbie are making people turn against them. Craig's comment about AB's mum was unnecessary and showed how desperate they are for her to be in the final.

Yes! At last - OCTOPUS!!!!!!!

But I don't want the jumpy crab to get et either . . .

I'm with you Romanempire Team Joe all the way. Although I wouldn't rate his chances against that slippery eel.

I thought mollie and AJ were really good this week. Much more connection than Ab and gorka - who looked bored.

Far too much side by side stuff in the Charleston. Not fun. She looked flat footed and ungainly, and those boots were awful and unflattering.

Craig has directed AB in a west end musical, for whoever asked how they knew each other...

Yikes. I'm not surfing in those waves.

Yes I'm team Joe now as well.

loving the mash up of comments re Strictly and Blue Planet!

Perhaps Craig mentioned her Mum to give her motivation and confidence boost? I really don’t think there’s a conspiracy about getting her in the final.
