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

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

...looking at you Dr Ranj.

Link to last thread.

So one had one too many and caught by the cameras and the other didn't but this makes it completely different.

Usually the band and singers are pretty good

Are you sure you are in the right place? This is the Strictly thread.

I don't think that's what I wrote at all, is it (assuming you're responding to me)?
My point is that Joe/Diane is an unsubstantiated rumour, whereas Seann/Katya was a visually documented media shitstorm.

So yes, completely different scenarios. If there were videos/photos of Joe and Dianne kissing while she was still with her partner then there would be fall out from that, perhaps as much as for S&K, perhaps not. As yet, no such thing appears to exist, so there is no comparable reaction.

Lot of the fallout was also to do with the lack of apology to his girlfriend & the complete gaslighting of her.

Yeah, that certainly didn't help, did it? 

Blackpool is always children in need weekend as they use the strictly studio hense why strictly is elsewhere

So, what or who was Pasha supposed to be? And Ashley ringer queen showed that literally no one looks good in a pink catsuit. Its really been bugging me and I must have tuned out in the VT bit....

Bergens i think (Bridget and Prince Gristle) They usually eat trolls but Bridget was nice, in love with the prince (unrequited) so NONE of that routine made any sense whatsoever

Ashley did mention bergens in one of the vts.
She should have been putting the spell on him though.
His tee should have been red not blue and he needed a crown.
Unless it was all being done without copyright permissions (don't know if they are needed for movie homages)

Gosh, I wonder why Faye and Ashley are so good. They almost look professional. Oh, wait...

They're spoiling my enjoyment of the Strictly season :(

Much more fun to see people who have never danced before.

Liking Joe Sugg.

Some Years I have a Fave almost from the get go-not this Year.
I did actually quite like Seann, and do think he should have been in the DO with Dr.Ranj.
The results based on that DO might have been different I feel.
Their last dance and exit interview was super cringey.

Me neither, Charlie. I haven't even voted yet this series.

Conversely, I wouldn't watch this show if there were no ringers. I'm not interested in watching 15 people who can't dance so the ringers make the first 6 weeks or so interesting as the novices learn how to dance.

I think the show strikes a good balance with ringers vs two-left-feeters, and as you never know whether the ones who look good at the beginning will deliver on the promise it's definitely a sensible route to take to make sure they keep interest across the board.

I haven't really warmed to anyone except Ranj and I'm not sure he's going to last much longer. Graeme's okay but awaits the same fate.
Happy for Lauren to go now, then Kate then Chucky.
The ringers have done nothing for me so far, I cannot warm to any of them and their routines haven't been on repeat like ringers of old.
Which leaves me with Stacey and Joe, she annoys the hell out of me whereas he's just beige. [grinches off to suck on a humbug]

Ashley seems particularly irritating as a ringer though.

I quite like Faye, she doesn't take herself too seriously. And, possibly due to Giovanni's choreography, her dances do seem to have an extra edge over and above Ashley's.

catfleas and bookbook may I join you in the Bunty Especially the Cut Out Dolls on the Back Page Appreciation Society please? Hours of fun.

You can still buy books of cut-out dress-up dolls on Amazon - not the Bunty ones though.

I have bought looked at the Art Deco one - it's gorgeous! Er, I'm sure it would be gorgeous, in real life - you know, if anyone, you know was to er, buy it . . .

OH! FFS! I bought it - RIGHT! are you happy now? You've publicly humiliated me on an open forum!

I LIKE ART DECO AND CUT-OUT DRESS-UP DOLLS AND I"M PROUD!

Pictures, Schady or it didn't happen..... also I really want to know what it looks like

(You'll be in the Daily Fail before you know it...)

I'm not sure how to add pictures. I bought it a year or so ago - I'll see if I can find it and post a link.

It's this one
