SCD18 #9 - Things that go bump on the dancefloor...

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

...looking at you Dr Ranj.

Link to last thread.

I LOVED Twinkle. Nurse Nancy and her toy hospital was my favourite

WereWolfclub Rupert Graves?

@ozzymadbat is that the same Clint Mansell who was in Pop Will Eat Itself? (Yes I am quite old). Bloody hell! Who knew?

Nettle it is indead from PWEI to fabulous movie composer

That’s more like it Ozzy. Still not 100% sure he’s the one though

He did Black Swan. PI, Moon, the wrestler and so many more. Sorry to dis rail the thread.

I’d love one of the dancers to do def com one!

Hopefully now Snean has gone the show will feel more of an even keel. Something is off this year.

Mind you got to agree that the whole last dance & exit interview were very awkward. Wonder if Snean regrets going on Strictly- I suppose time will tell.

I know, right?!!
He started film music composition for Pi (same director as RFAD) and film music career took off from there.

Did anyone spot Neil when everyone joined seannnn and katya after their goodbye dance? I couldn't. I also didnt see him in the group of celebs clapping after katya danced.

Snean must surely regret doing the show. All his comedy was built on him being a likeable chap. That persona has definitely taken a hit.

Absolutely. I can't stand the man now and wouldn't watch his stand up now. Its not just the kiss, it's how he treated his girlfriend, gaslighting etc. What a dick. He was not gracious in that ITT interview and, no, it's not funny to break up someone's marriage and leave your girlfriend home alone on her birthday.

@MrsJamin I looked out for Neil, but didn't spot him either

They were both poor as the judges said, but they took their chance and got them out of there (wrong show, sorry). It does look like Katya needs a break now, despite what they both did. I agree we may not see them on Monday, didn’t Lee phone in his interview?

Ranj and Kate the next to go?

In other couples news, I’ve noticed definite warmt between Kevin and Karen in the last few weeks. Anyone else pick up on that?

Yes Encyclo- I think a reunion is on the cards

Thank you for music details Ozzy.

I didn't particularly enjoy this show. I think the costumes just took over everything else, and for whatever reason seemed to affect a lot of the performances. It was like some of them thought they could just rely on the 'character' - the make up and costume - and the dancing became secondary.

Also, not sure if it's me but the music sounded terrible! Usually the band and singers are pretty good, but on this episode it all sounded a bit naff - too slow tempo on a lot of the songs (probably adjusted to make it danceable), but everything sounded flat and sluggish.

I'm not sorry to see the back of Seann. I wasn't keen on him before the 'getting pissed up and snogging his married dance partner' incident, but since then it's all felt a bit forced and uncomfortable.

I enjoy watching Ashley and Faye because they are both such great dancers, but don't want either of them to win it. At the moment the dancer I'm liking most is Joe Sugg (never thought I'd say that!) - who I'd never heard of previously. He just seems to be getting better and better, and he's got a genuine enthusiasm which is very endearing.

I think Seannn was angry because he’s getting now a reality check. He was seriously overmarked in the Matrix and Pizzeria dances plus being smug about not being voted off after the incident. I never knew why they praised him to start with - Matrix dance was all Katya and great choreography.
So first the judges gave him (over)confidence by overmarking him and now they’ve gone to specsavers.

Quite glad Sean(n) and Katya have gone given all the hoo-ha but I thought the choreography was absolutely brilliant with the whole concept of the spooky doll etc. However, the music was so pointed in its timing that I was utterly astonished they couldnt get their timing together. But I am sad - I would pick Katya’s choreography (or is it Neil’s?) over Oti’s any day of the week.

Thought Faye and Giovanni’s dance was amazing.

werewolf I think Graeme looked like Bradley Walsh (when he was in Law & Order UK) in his zombie makeup.

Glad I'm not the only one who hated the mangling of Thriller. Some of the singing has been dreadful this series.

Loved Giovanni and Fayes dance, once again I should have loved PAshleys jive but didn't get excited about it and felt Karen and the Doctor should have been in the DO. I'm definitely in the teeniest minority but feel sorry for Sean and Katya the press had a field day, just heard Joe and Diane had a sneaky kiss before she broke up with her long term boyfriend and they are now an "item" wonder if same amount of hate directed their way?

just heard Joe and Diane had a sneaky kiss before she broke up with her long term boyfriend and they are now an "item" wonder if same amount of hate directed their way?

The answer is in exactly what you've written. 'Just heard' = a rumour. If they did kiss, they had the sense not to get publicly filmed in a full-on clinch that ended up plastered all over the media, so it's not a comparable scenario

A distinct lack of any mention of katya in Neil's Instagram, its not looking good for them at the moment. I hope they can work it out.

Looking at their video footage (including his vlogs, instagram stories etc.) I wouldn't Joe and Dianne acted very coupley, but more like mates to be honest.

As much as I loved the costumes and Halloween fun, it'll be good to get back to less faffy clothes and props so can hopefully focus on the dancing/technique again.

Ranj I can't see improving much more now, but Kate & Graeme still have some promise. Everyone else seems to be improving week by week (although Charles 25's say differently).

Sean and katya were better in the dance off. I call fix.

Nah, Seannnnnn was crap, he's always been crap, but he's got an ego as big as his hair and doesn't recognise that the only value in any of their dances was the result of Katya's immense talent as a dancer and her/Neil's ingenious choreography.
