Strictly Thread 6... getting back to the dancing!

[Gooseysgirl]

Anyone else ready to get back to focusing on the dancing??

Bruno is just having a week off. He's still doing DWTS and is knackered.

Never mind AJ - Kate's face was a real picture when Seannnnnnnn & Katja were being interviewed. Mumsnet judgey at its finest.

I think it was quite noticeable that the other dancers/competitors were just politely clapping as Sean and Katya came up the stairs. Most contestants get thumped on the back/cheered

Monkseal once described Bruno as bibbiling and hooting, that’s what he brings, the bibble and hoot

Spot on Bluth!

We voted Vick (Dd), Dr Ranj (Dd) and Kate S (me)

Er wrong link! Sorry, ignore that

Noticed they put both the n’s in the Pizzeria name for S & K’s dance.

The DDs chose Dr Ranj (as usual) and Joe and my vote went to Graeme, which was a surprise to me as up until he danced I had chosen Lauren. But though I thought she was better tonight I really enjoyed his dance.

Neil highly visible at the back during their chatty bit, plus on the front right in pride of place earlier on, the PR team must be so tired.

The stand-in judge for next week won DWTS in the States (and yes, he did do the Tom Jones dance one week)

We voted, joe sean and stacey.
I felt sorry for kate as she really didn't seem to enjoy her dance.

Octo's finding it hard tonight...she's going for Lauren and Kate in The DO.

Octo is an innocent of the ocean. She doesn't know what to make of the Sinful Duo - Octupods mate for life, you know - she is probably so shocked and disgusted it has affected her psychic abilities.

It wouldn't occur to an octopus to go off shagging on the side. It is beyond their ken.

The Noble Octopus is the honestest most honest and loyal cephalopod there is.

Anyone else not feeling this series so much?

I can't believe Sean and Katya got those marks. It looked a really forced dance and not remotely comfortable.

Can't help but feel that they'd have got those marks if they'd fallen flat on their faces .

The "celebs" aren't really doing it for me this year....

Can someone explain the Sean v Seann v Sean(n) thing please? I’m confused

The public didn't like Lee so they didn't vote for him but they will keep Sean in although they don't like him either because it's interesting to watch him and Katia.

@GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal thank you!! Makes sense now.

I voted for Stacey and Graeme. Dr Ranj for DD.

I'd love to see Ian Waite on the judging panel. I miss the old pros. And totally agree with PP about dances just being dances rather than always trying to get into characters and tell literal stories.

Fuck me ! Just seen Shirley on Jonathan Ross - what the hell is she wearing ??

Oubliette I imagine that his real name is Sean, but both Sean and Walsh are incredibly common Irish names so there are probably tens of thousands of them, to avoid confusion because he's on the stage he uses Seann. When his ex girlfriend tweeted about their break up she used Sean(n), either to cover both the real and stage name or to imply that he was a pretentious twat to use an irregular spelling, I'm not sure which.

Darcey, Craig and Shirley now on the Jonathan Ross show....

@EvilRingahBitch yes this needs to happen! Graziano just isn't doing it for me.

Mumsnet judgey at its finest. Kate is what every MNetter aspires to be. That Africa stuff she spouted was cringetastic

I read somewhere that Sean(n) is meant to be a tribute to his favourite actor from American Pie. Explains everything.

Jeez Jonathan Ross hounding the judges for answers. Weird.

Sassy Shirley looks like she can’t breathe!

I've not enjoyed it much this week tbh and I've watched it since the start. I wouldn't miss it at the moment though - really not liking it now

Sorry folks I know we are supposed to be contemplating the purity of the daaaaaance darlings but can any explain what the gay half of a gay/visa seeking marriage gets out of it? I can see that if you are a senior royal or a politician being out might be a no no but a pro dancer in 2018? Why give up the possibility of a same sex love marriage to protect someone's immigration status? Craig and Bruno are hardly in the closet. So why would a dancer in the 21st century feel the need to hide their sexuality?
