I make a Hmm face every time Seannnnn comes on the screen. Literally everything he says irritates me, quite disproportionately.

That said, he must be in perma-defensive mode so probably isn't at his best.

Katya looked bloody miserable last night.

If they're bottom two with Vick they'll go. She's a wholesome lass who could easily win The Craggy Island Lovely Girls Competition. He's yukky. No contest.

forgivenminds · 21/10/2018 10:42

Scandal aside I do really like Sean and Katya, them and Graham and Oti are my favourites both beginners but are good pairings and enjoyable to watch.

ppeatfruit · 21/10/2018 10:53

Yes to Graham and especially Oti, she's gifted that girl

I didn't like Sean and Katya before the scandal so it makes no difference! He doesn't across as real, there was a glimpse of his face in training looking at K. it wasn't very nice.

KurriKurri · 21/10/2018 10:56

I thought Sean -n-n-n 's dance was the usual badly timed effort - the man cannot keep in time with the music, he doesn;t hear the beat (not his fault, some people really struggle with that, katie had the same problem, and they really don't have enough time to acqire that basic talent on this show).
I really don't like him though and he's still going for the cheekky chappy comedian persona - gurning and grinning etc - he's blown that role with his behaviour and needs to drop it. I think Katya looks as if she's desperate to leave this year.
i think the whole show will be a lot more enjoyable whne they go - they are a massive elephant in the room.

I liked Alfonso if he could stop talking about DWTS he'd be great, but even with his references to 40's he was so much better than Bruno flinging himself off his chair every two minutes.

I really enjoyed Danny's jive - because he was smiling - the main thing missing from his dancing so far IMO - but he clearly ran out of steam about half way through (can;t blame him he's my age and I'd have run out of steam after 10 seconds) Amy is really growing on me - she's a nice person.

I enjoyed Charles and Karen (not a great fan of either of them, but they did well last night) he's so much better out of hold - I feel the height diference between them makes him look awkward when the do ballroom.

Kevin and Stacey are my favourites - I thought I was going to find her really annoying, but she's great - she's giving it everything she's got.

GarethSouthgatesWaistcoat · 21/10/2018 11:41

I wasn't overwhelmed by Danny and Amy's jive either! I'd have given it a 7 max Confused
Something weird about his kicks and flicks, I think they lacked that pumping action the experts describe.
Also the flappy trousers were super distracting (not just in this dance). I know it was a costume and all but what an ugly shade of brown Shock
I'm sure in ye olde days of Strictly the men's trousers were constructed better (probably sourced from a dancesports company). They didn't have all this lightweight fabric billowing about at the ankles. Nor any sign of the TopMan ridiculously tight/skinny trousers (in rainbow colours) they seem fond of in recent series.

Sorry small moan but bad costuming really interferes with the dance for me!

I loved Stacey's costume tonight Grin

PurpleOctober · 21/10/2018 11:43

I want Lauren and Sean out. They both annoy me.

ppeatfruit · 21/10/2018 11:43

Kurri Yes! Stacey looked amazing last night! I want her to win !!! Alfonso needed to emphasise his qualifications to be a judge, the reason why he mentioned DWTS I suppose.

I liked that he mentioned he had watched recordings of the dances which is a definite plus.

PumpkinSpiceAmericanoNoSugar · 21/10/2018 11:54

I find Sean(n) annoying because he's always off time, he never looks like he's enjoying himself, he always looks like he's working too hard in the dance (probably working hard to stay in time, but not managing it). I can forgive a lot of bad technique if the contestant has a good musical ear and looks as though they are having the time of their life, eg Susan Calman.

ChoccyJules · 21/10/2018 11:59

Felt sorry for Vick last night, if the judges don’t think the dance is right it’s clearly down to the choreography. No need to make her feel so bad about it. I’m no expert but she seems to do quite well, ie better than rubbish but not top table, with whatever she’s given. I gave her a vote :-)

EdWinchester · 21/10/2018 12:02

Although I find Stacey incredibly annoying and her voice makes me want to rip my ears off, she is doing so well. I bet she’ll make the final.

PumpkinSpiceAmericanoNoSugar · 21/10/2018 12:02

I really feel that Vick is unfortunate with her pro. She has a fabulous figure, loads of energy, musicality and raw talent. If she had some decent teaching and proper choreography that suited her abilities rather than her pro's abilities she could be amazing. I can't see Graziano being given a contract next year.

PurpleOctober · 21/10/2018 12:13

I hope Stacey wins. It wouldn't be right for Ashley or Faye to win IMO.

SchadenfreudeUndeadified · 21/10/2018 12:20

I'm not a fan of Charles generally but I LOVED that.

Same here howabout.

Samcro · 21/10/2018 12:24

i like stacey and hope she wins. (if only to annoy the snobs)
we normally vote for sean and Joe , but neither seemed good this week.
was it my hearing, but was everything loud this week? the audience seemed to be shreiking a lot.

SchadenfreudeUndeadified · 21/10/2018 12:37

Probably to drown the "music" and "singing" Samcro

It was bloody awful!

derxa · 21/10/2018 13:24

i like stacey and hope she wins. (if only to annoy the snobs) I agree.

SubtitlesOn · 21/10/2018 13:34

I never watched FPoBA but thought you guys might like this video I saw on FB

hope it works

GarethSouthgatesWaistcoat · 21/10/2018 13:38

I watched Faye's dance again on YouTube, the choreography was quite strange, especially in the middle Grin
Probably because of the breaks in the music. I liked the extensions at the beginning but they went on a bit too long before the track kicked in. Her frock was gorgeous.

I wonder how many votes Kate is getting? Her dance was elegant but not very thrilling. Wonder if that will hurt her. Beautiful dress too!

Watching Joe's dance again made me enjoy it more. I think his costume distracted me first time.

Enigmam · 21/10/2018 14:00

Someone started another one earlier.
