Oh no that doesn't look like a quick peck goodnight?! Not sure what angle they're going for if it's staged for attention/votes Hmm

Onecutefox · 06/10/2018 23:48

Staged or not staged but very disrespectful to their partners.

MozzieMagnet · 06/10/2018 23:49

Okay...have sullied myself in the name of sleb twaddle but I think they copped the Sun photographer and put on a show...sadly that is not going to come across in print, pap got what they wanted, curse is being carried in the Sun/Mail and that kind of PR unless they address it on twitter/ITT might bite them in the bum next week Confused

GarethSouthgatesWaistcoat · 07/10/2018 00:04

I can't really see how they can spin this, I was trying to give the benefit of the doubt.

I suppose they'll say it was just high spirits (not sure the drunk defence is going to fly on a family show) and proffer apologies to their partners.

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 07/10/2018 00:12

Oh dear.

MozzieMagnet · 07/10/2018 00:23

I can't really see how they can spin this
By dancing to Paparazzi, Rumour has it, Womaniser or You took the words right out of my mouth (must have been when you were kissing me)??!! Wink Grin

NoLogicInThis · 07/10/2018 00:23

I hope the pics are staged but it's tacky if they are to cause controversy and viewings for the show.
If they are true Seann will not go far in the competition and has ruined his chances.

Late to the party as I've been out for a friend's birthday meal.

Overall, I enjoyed this week but felt that some of the female pros were using up a lot of time to showcase their own dance skills - Nadya, Oti and Katya in particular while their partners were faffing around.

I liked the Matrix routine, which was down to Katya's choreography.
Re their kissing. They're clearly messing about with the paps. Even so, not classy when they both have partners to think about and I think this might work against them in terms of popularity and votes.

Ashley was predictably very good.

Vick was competent but I wasn't keen on her dancing in trainers as it made her look flat footed.

Feel sorry for Lee as he just looked clumsy and he was clearly uncomfortable afterwards in the Clauditorium.

Liked Graeme and Oti, but it wasn't outstanding.

Katie was much much better this week.

Kate looked great in her outfit and her dance was very good too.

Lauren danced a bit too timidly and I agree with Craig, that it needed more attack.

I enjoyed Charles' dance and the lifts were very impressive. Still don't fancy him though and don't see what others see in him.

Faye looked incredible. Her quickstep was so quick, I thought it looked sped up. Again, I enjoyed her performance and loved Neil and Johannes as the T Birds.

Danny started off well, and had all the presence and charisma of the character, but his posture made his dancing a little jerky at times.

Couldn't vote as I was out but I would have given them to Graeme, Seann and Vick.

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 07/10/2018 00:50

I hope they were messing around because they'd seen the press. It seems a weird thing to do though.

If it had been after a show I could understand it more — emotions can run very high. My university dance partner and I snogged kissed on a night out after a competition where we'd had a rubbish morning then done really well in the afternoon. There was enough euphoria and alcohol that we were both completely overlooking the fact he's gay!

Blessthekids · 07/10/2018 01:07

It looks staged. And to be honest their real life partners are probably used to their madness, Katya is totally zany and Seann is definitely up there too. I really think this is not real. And I also hope it isn't!

Onecutefox · 07/10/2018 02:28

At least it's not Nadia and Lee. Phew.

Minimammoth · 07/10/2018 02:51

Bruno needs his medication adjusting, getting far too OTT.
and as someone said upthread, turn the screaming down please. The female pros in particular, it doesn’t add anything to the show.
My favourite is Kate. Least fave Lee.
And yes Katya is a very talented choreographer. Matrix dance amazing.

TheSassyAssassin · 07/10/2018 07:48

Hmmm. Agree totally - if it was staged it seems a very controversial move. This isn't a C4 reality show they are both on and need to boost their ratings. This is Strictly! Also not sure Neil or Seann's gf will be impressed by their taking it that far. Seems strange and trashy imho!

I think The standard of dancing this year is phenomenal

I'm not sure who I enjoyed the most last night Shaun and Katya were most striking but I voted Graeme and ds voted Joe.

Whisky2014 · 07/10/2018 08:03

Hmm i dont think they are staged but who knows. Id still be hurt if my partner kissed a girl like thid even if it was for a joke

forgivenminds · 07/10/2018 08:15

Just seem the pics and don't know what to think, they say they were from Wednesday why so long to come out. I really liked Sean and Katya last night but now not sure what to think

Figgygal · 07/10/2018 08:28

Just saw the pics what were they thinking!!

covetingthepreciousthings · 07/10/2018 08:44

Are we allowed to share pictures here? I'll attach one from the article so people can see what everyone's talking about. I don't think this is great. I mean I'm pretty sure there's actual tongue going on. Sad I really like both of them & it would ruin their chances of winning I think if there isn't a good explanation.. (not sure how you can explain it though tbh)

I feel very sorry for his partner (and Neil). Will see if they post anything on their stories today..

DH accidentally revealed the Strictly Spoiler to me.

I will say no more except to reveal that the person eliminated is one of the contestants.

You heard it here first! Grin

TheSassyAssassin · 07/10/2018 08:57

Oh bum, not Tess then Schaden? Wink

Nadya, Oti and Katya in particular while their partners were faffing around

Pretty common when their partners are weak in some areas (or all)

SchadenfreudePersonified · 07/10/2018 09:00

Sadly not Sassy Sad

Better luck next week.

Mummyundecided · 07/10/2018 09:00

If those photos are staged, why? What on earth would they hope to achieve from that? They’d just alienate their fans. It’s not a bit of manufactured are they, aren’t they, coyness, it’s proper snogging.

Theromanempire · 07/10/2018 09:05

The reason why Nadiya, Oti and Katya did the solo dancing last night was because all 3 of their partners needed unhooking/hooking up to wires at that point - watch again and you will see that the solo parts were immediately after or before the flying part. That is standard so that the camera isn't on the stagehands sorting them out.

Very harsh to criticise them for it when actually it is for practical reasons and not because they want to hog the limelight HmmHmm
