SCD18#10 - The scores are in...and it's Fireworks

[Myimaginarycathasfleas]

New thread when you're ready..

Am in a huff.
Didn't want ranj to go, one of the few contestants with a proper job, doesn't take himself too seriously, he's not a ringer and we don't get the fake welling up of tears.
Plus dd is going to be v upset!

But what's really left a bad taste is Charles being in the dance off again.
It's not that the public are actively voting him off. It's that he's low down the list for them. They'd rather vote for a friggin professional ringer. In fact seems they'd rather vote for anyone else.
He's not the best dancer but he's far from the worst. And he's not a homicidal maniac or anything. Wtf is going on??

I despair. Am off to sob into my pillow.

Why on earth did Craig vote for Ranj?

I stand corrected Purple. I suppose it was 10 years ago when I went 

I found myself concentrating on the cameramen following the dancers around the floor rather than the dancers themselves which sorts of defeats the object of going

I'm so tired of Lauren She's so boring as is AJ. C'mon Charles! I'll need to get my arse in gear and vote for him next week. He's a great dancer and so attractive. I don't care if he's arrogant.

Tbf, we don't know how many votes the ringers are getting. Ashley could be bottom of the public vote every week, but still getting through as she gets the top score from the judges vote. Take this week for example. 10 points from the judges, and even if she only received 1 point from the public, she would still have 11 points (more than most of the others. It would be mathematically impossible for her to be in the DO unless all the people at the bottom of the leaderboard scored top with the voting public.

Why on earth did Craig vote for Ranj?

Probably to show they aren't picking on Charles clowdy

(But they SO are)

Unless the gap between the two in the DO is huge, one judge usually does give a vote to the loser. Ranj did improve this week so I think it was a hard one to call, especially as he's obviously more popular with the public.

Oh Dr Ranj.

I can't see a shock elimination this year. At this point, it woudn't be shocking if Kate, Lauren, Charles or Graeme are eliminated, and the chances of Ashley, Faye, Stacey or Joe being in the DO are very slim.

The only possible shock elimination over the next few weeks could be DJJ. I think he's definitely getting tired, and if he makes another mistake last night in a dance off he could be going.

I love Brendan. Yet another sexy man eliminated.

I felt quite despondent after tonight’s programme. It’s taken two episodes of Ever Dcreasing Circles to put me right.

First time this series I'm sad to see someone go. I voted for Kate twice mostly because she wasn't well and so I felt like she needed at least another week to prove herself.

My Ashley hatred is at its peak. Why are people voting for her?

They may not be @derxa , but she received 10 points from the judges scores so it's almost impossible for her to be in the DO

I don't understand Charles being in the dance off so often either. Note to self: must vote for him next week. I thought his dance tonight was really good. I expected the dance off to between Kate and Lauren or perhaps Danny this week.

I am fed up trying to hear the music, the manic clappers get right on my wick. They can ruin any musical and vocal subtleties by clapping remorselessly on beat.

In fact, I'm wondering why I still watch SCD.

A -ringer- top of the leaderboard contestant won’t be in the dance off at this stage even if they have the least number of votes.

—strike test—

—failed— then!

What channel is that on (I love Peter Egan)

I I expected the dance off to between Kate and Lauren or perhaps Danny this week

Same here.

I thought Dr Ranj was too popular, and honestly thought that Charles was so good he would get support.

A few sticks have failed x - I've been notocing

*strikes, not sticks

(I've had about as much as I can take autocorrect!)

Xsquared, you need to turn off automatic punctuation (or something like that) in your device settings. It will stop -- joining into one long dash.

I will miss Ranj but hopefully without a partner Janette calms down a bit. I said to dd i thought there was an extra blond pro but couldnt work out who it was, why did the eliminated pros have blue glittery outfits on last night but there was no pro dance with them tonight ? did they do a pro dance at the start of last nights show and i missed it or do they put them in matching outfits for the sake of it
