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

[Myimaginarycathasfleas]

New thread when you're ready..

Speaking of forgettable winners, I am STILL cross that Chris Hollins won

I’ve just watched his Charleston and it really is awful. How he got 10s for it is a mystery.

My guess is Danny in the dance off tomorrow. A few weeks ago I thought he'd at least make the semi finals.

Samba has really floored the celebs this year ...

Unfortunately, I think it is going to be Graeme or Kate this week ...

Martin Kemp and Brian Conley completely carried that panel I love them both. I know he's cheesier than a bowl of fondue but Brian Conley always makes me laugh.
On another note, Stacey is disappearing before our eyes. She's so slight looking now.

Loved Stacey's impression of Oti and Graeme's one of Stacey. They are my two favourite couples, along with Kate and Aljaz. I just fast forward through the likes of Ash and Pash and AJ and Lauren.

Michael Bolton seemed to be blinking an awful lot.

DD and I thought that too Choccy. He was vacant and expressionless save for blinking a lot.

*disclaimer contains naughty words

Who do we think is in danger tonight?

I think Kate, Graeme or Danny (after all the bad press).

Hi everyone I'm back .

Blimey I put on IT2 last night and there was this robot like Micheal and I was thinking oh yes, Buble`,I remember he was R2 in the morning but he looks sooo weird. Then Zoe said it was Micheal BOLTON !!!! He did look a bit ill but his singing was alright.

Stace and Kev are my fave couple, I tip them to win. I agree that Ashley is annoying.

Interesting Remembrance poppy pattern dress worn by Zoe (who hardly ever wears a dress).

Loved the make up and hair demo.

YY! I’ve just put on last nights ITT and goodness me Michael Bolton looks like a corpse reanimated or something!

I would imagine that unless Charles and Karen’s dance blows everyone anyway that they’ll be in the DO again.
I personally don’t think Lauren is very good, but the judges and the public seem to disagree so what do I know?

Yes thursday I agree about Lauren BUT it was interesting to hear her say yesterday that she has to learn to use her core when she dances, she has always seemed very stiff to me but of course she's an athlete. Good for her for trying. She's definitely NOT a ringah!!

I think Kate or Lauren should go - but fully expecting poor Chucky to be in the DO again!

Kazza , I also loved Stacey ‘s impression of Oti
Have watched a few of Stacey’s documentaries and I really enjoyed them.
I think that Stacey and Kevin may win.

Marin Kemp gets better with age; lucky Shirley

Yes there's something not very likeable about Kate I won't miss her, I would miss Lauren though. Though I love Oti, I think it's time for Grahame to go. Chuck has reached the end of the road too IMO. I was surprised that he won the DO against Dr.R.

Yes ppeat it’s a fine line between ringer and being entertaining enough to engage the public.

I’m a bit worried about Michael Bolton!

Also from ITT Sunday’s pro dance looks dreary as hell. I dont care how worthy it is, im done with the female pro contempowaft.

Lauren does teach salsa though doesn't she? Not sure how long she's been teaching or what level she teaches at. I wouldn't put her in the same category as a super-ringah but she's not a complete novice. Obv ballroom is a different beast

I don’t care how DDJ ancestors tonight. I am going to vote for him to fuck off The S*N and the DM.

They're all doing Lindy hop week after Blackpool!!!
How did I miss this?
I love a good Lindy hop!

They've done a 'thon' week for a few years now, I think. AFAIK they do a 'normal' dance first – so they'll all do something different – and then there's a waltzathon, or didn't they do a quickstep-athon last year? Or maybe a jive one?

Does anyone remember the shortlived 2 series Strictly Dance Fever hosted by Graham Norton? Sadie and Joseph won - their lindy hop was lovely. It's at the start of her showreel.

Dances not ancestors!

I lived Strictly Dance Fever. There was an awesome Flamenco dance to 'Paint it Black' which I can't find on YouTube 😢😢😢
