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

[Myimaginarycathasfleas]

New thread when you're ready..

Loved it. I didn't 'live' it.

I live them all
Bow DJJ might surprise - he is a bit stiff usually (arthritis?) but what I saw this week looked decent - hate their music though.
Statistically Kate should go/have already gone, we're down to 8 couples and she's ranked 11/15 on the 7 dances so far (Thanks wiki!)
I would love to see Lauren salsa if she teaches it, just want to see a decent routine from her (Her paso/jive didn't convince me).
Nikita no, I know, I just wasn't expecting Lindy, I thought they were going to do jive. I looked back on wiki and...
Last year was pasodoblathon
2016 cha cha challenge
2015 quickstepathon
2014 waltzathon
2013 swingathon
2012 ---- (fusion)
2011 swingathon
2010 swingathon
2009 group viennese and joint lindy in final (totally forgot these!)
2008 group viennese
2007 joint viennese in final, also group mambo/swing wk 1

I thought they'd done a salsathon but that must have been DWTS, I'd totally forgotten how much swing was done and I am surprised they didn't decide on a jivathon because all the remaining couples bar Kate have done it reasonably well (Ashley not yet but will) I can only think there'd be more cries of rigathon if 2 couples did jive at Blackpool week before group jive. Lindy hop is a decent alternative.

AM I the only person who hates the term "-athon"?

in fairness wiki refers to a 'swing marathon' and I shortened it I quite liked the term 'cha cha challenge'. Pasadoblathon though [eyeroll]

Lindy hop!! Yay!!

As we’re swingin’....

Just catching up on the thread, I took my eye off the (glitter)ball for a couple of days

I love Peter Egan
I met him once when he opened a charity fundraiser event I was at.

and ever so slightly creepy

Checking in because I get to watch live tonight for once! Or at least I will if I get off my arse now and get the tea made in time...

Missing it tonight as I'm at the theatre. I'll catch up once I'm home.

Am with you in spirit for at least the first half - Mr Schaden is watching the rugby.

Evening all. Signing in for tonight's fun.

Drinking game suggestion....every time someone says "Blackpool".

Really, Plane?

I follow him on Twitter because he is an animal rights activist - but I wondered how much was real and how much was bandwagon, I must admit.

Liked him in "Ever-Decreasing Circles", though

BAH BAH BAH BAH BA BA BA

OWWW

Im going to watch it live for a change. Im rooting fir Stacey

In spirit only, that should have said . . .

Hola!

I have wine.
I have DH home to do bedtime
I have Spice Girls tickets

Happy Saturday

Luffs Stacey!

Is Claud a mumsnetter?
She must be !

Fuzzy they’re onto us with the drinking game

Craig is looking dapper.

Helloooooo! Can imagine Claud being a MNer! Well here we go again

Evening folks. I see Farcey is getting mauled by Bruno again. Shirley looks like she’s wrapped in tinfoil ready for the oven

Zoe Ball made a reference to it yesterday too

I'll bet she is 80's - but is there a particular reason you ask?

I can see nothing but cauliflower-eared men in shorts at the moment.

Interesting wardrobe choices tonight!

I love Diane’s dress!
