Strictly Come Dancing Thread #3 Will Fantons save Susannah or does Vick not have a hope in hell?...

[MozzieMagnet]

....Is Katie going to be pipped at the post, will Graeme take a swan dive to the bottom of the leader board, is the news just in that Kate's first out, will MWMOB Wombling Eel's Latin make us Blue or has Seann seenn his finnal routinne?!

New thread for Saturday 29th and this week's It Takes Two.

Keeeepppp Posting!

[Edited by MNHQ at OP's request]

Is there anywhere to watch dancing with the stars does anyone know? Ds wants to watch as his favourite fuller house character is on this year.

I can't see Susannah getting even a pity vote out of this, so fully expect her to be the first off. She'll be thankful when she gets over the shame. And it was a dreadful outfit they made her wear.

I think everyone who did a latin dance will do ballroom next week and vice versa so perhaps Susannah will have a great dance next week. Say what you like about Anton (mostly negative from me) but he does do a lovely Waltz/Viennese Waltz and has the ability to tug and push his partner through it while making it look as if they they are doing all their own dancing.

Has anyone linked Monkseal's blog or have I missed it? Technically I can google but I rely on it being on the thread ...

Just for you, Sassy.

Awwww thank you Polkadots

Myimaginary oh yes fond memories of huddling round the tv with a sherbet dib dab,watching the formation dancers.Random bit of nonsense I live about five minute walk from the Peggy Spencer school of dancing.💃

Oops posted on the old thread!

Did anyone watch It Takes Two? Great to see Erin

I'm too you (cough cough) for Come Dancing but I sometimes watch Strictly pros in competition on YouTube. It always reminds me of Strictly Ballroom

I WANT ONE, I WANT ONE POLKA !!!!!!!!!! it's ok I'm in a weird mood this morning !!!! Yes I saw IT2, it was good, nice to see Zoe and Erin, lovely them dancing in their heels together, Erin's were classy but I still couldn't wear heels half as high !!!! Interesting that Katie refused to wear a wig!!!!

I live v close to where Joe's family lives- do you think if I baked him something his mum would pass it on?? He so needs feeding up

Elfride Joe looks soo much younger than he is! On ST2 they said he's 27!!!!

Ach posted on the other thread just watched it last night i basically said Yaay Dr Ranj and poor Susanna . Dd told me joe suggs sister is Zoella who cons young teenagers into buying her Tatt from superdrug, I didn't know that.

I know ppeatfruit he looks so much younger doesn't he? Put him in a school uniform and he could easily be 17!
I definitely want to feed him up, not feel him up 🤢

Hello hello, just catching up on everyone’s musings and marking my place on the thread

Agree it was lovely to have Erin boag back on IT2, do we think no Karen this year?

I really like this yearsline up, all the bonhomie and fun feels really genuine.

I much prefer Erin to Karen Hardy. May we keep her please?

Yep great to have ITT back, I am also now listening to the strictly official podcast - the shame!

I do like Eric but would love Flavia to come back and do this slot or just come back for any reason for a chat!

IT2 is the best thing about Strictly season

1. Taking the piss out of Katie's nerves?!
2. No they can't Anton, your ballroom is lovely
3. Meh
4. Not keen on song but wish them well
5. Ditto
6. Meh
7. Interesting but yet again non-traditional
8. If anything will save her, that song will
9. Great song (last used for Fiona's CCC)

10. Safe 11. Stand-up reference? 4th time used and unfair jive comparison 12. Fireball went down well in Irish version 13. Decent number 14. Interesting to see how that goes with Smooth 15. Fabulous but charleston? Expect straw and a roof

Based on music alone Danny, Ranj, Joe and Chucky got lucky!

Cotton Eye Joe Why do they roll this awful disaster of a song out? Heinous

also Joe and Ranj avoiding ballroom until week 3 a tad unfair?

Cos he used to be a roof thatcher coffee!! [eyeroll emoticon]
I can see it going either way but suspect it will pull in votes compared with, say, Confident.

I don’t know half of those songs.
