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

[Myimaginarycathasfleas]

New thread when you're ready..

Another video proving Ashley's dance experience....she's been dancing since she was three, and is expert in ballet, tap, jazz, modern, hip hop....

Easy 40 for her when she gets the couples choice then.

I’m definitely not a sleb 🤣

We were at a Comic Con in a queue. Just got in conversation as he was near us.

Think it’s timr for Kate to go. Ranj too as much as I love how enthusiastic he is. Lauren too.
Graeme has a few weeks left. When is Blackpool this year?

Blackpool is the 17th November

I think the mid-table celebs have mostly plateaued. At the start they were all really good for mid-tablers but haven't improved significantly since then.

Still in love with Stacey and Kevin. BUT anyone I like never actually wins.

Kate didn't pull off the look well last night but her dancing was okay, much better than Charles (love him too) and Dr Ranj.

I think Joe is in with a chance.

Hi everyone.
I think Joe was over marked and wish the judges would stop treating him as though he s 12, he is an adult!
I like Ashley and don't care that she can already dance, so what?
Her dance was beautiful.
I think Danny should be in the dance off because he went completely wrong and it looked awful. It made his partner look wrong too as she didn't know whether to stick with him or do it correctly. Either way she was stuffed.
I love Giovani he looked fabulous doing the tango.
Thought Fay' s outfit was awful but I want Giovani to stay in.
My favourites are Stacey, Fay and Ashley.
I don't get the love for Raj and I can't take to either Janette or Oti.

If you get on the wrong foot in quickstep in a running section it's very hard to correct, because you probably have timing changes as well, and want to come out on the correct beat.

It's generally harder for the lady to correct the gentleman, because he can just push you out of the way as he goes forwards. I'd probably dig my nails in, but I know my partner should know better, and we could stop and start again and it would be fine. That's not as easy on Strictly!

Ashley is my favourite. Thank goodness for ringers; I’d hate to watch 15 Lauren/Kate/Ranj types plod through! I love seeing some amazing dancing from the off! I think she and Pasha are magical together.

I think they are the opposite of magical. Technically very good but there's no magic that I can see.

Spoiler is up on DS, for those who like to be spoiled

Wash your mouth out with soap!

this year has been weird except for Bruno!

I know I've taken this out of context Eliza, but this is a phrase I never expected to see as long as I lived.

Spoiler is up on DS, for those who like to be spoiled I always look. I've got no self control.

Did the spoiler once this season and never again! Sat there on the Sunday night posting on the thread feeling like I had just had an affair or something!

Here's a question for you, if a celeb is consistently in the bottom should the judges put them out of their misery and won't them off? I ask because there was a celeb who was nearly always in the bottom but got far because of the judges but I can't remember who?! As soon as a series finishes I forget all their names!!

I’ve checked the spoiler: sorry to be the bearer of bad news but Tess and Bruno are in the bottom two and Shirley uses her head judge welly to save Tess

Apparently, she summed up by saying that although she felt Bruno had the peformance element nailed where Tess was rather wooden and laboured, and both had timing issues, she had to come down on the side of the contestant she felt in less physical danger from so she was going to save Tess.

Same happened to me Sassy.

Never again!

Well LivingBoy - at least we're rid of Bruno!

Yeah we strayed on the same weekend Schady

bonfire, I didn’t watch the series at the time, but was it Jamelia who was in 5 dance offs before the judges kept Peter Andre in rather than her?

Wash your mouth out with soap!

I cannot bear the results show. Half of it was filmed weeks ago (guest singers, pro dances), and the rest of it is brain-numbingly repetitive week after week. The DS spoiler thread is my saviour from that interminable heap of shite! 

I can't take to either Janette or Oti.

Good ep last night, I thought: plenty of proper dancing and not too much of Len's bugbear 'muckin' abaaaahht'. Nice frocks generally.

I liked Lauren's jive and she looks so much more confident.
Graham and Oti were quite sweet. Oti's frock was nice.
Kate wasn't great but wasn't a 4!!! That's a genuine scandal, even by Craig's standards. I think he must dislike her/want her out/both.
Ranj was camp as Christmas and SO likeable. Made me want to get up and do it with them, the sign of a good samba.
LOVED Stacey. Such a fresh take on the genre. I said it was like if Fred and Ginger were dancing now (before the judges invoked them ). Loved how Stacey brushed off both Tess and Claudia's attempts to talk about her injury. She's a class act.
Danny had a shocker but I can't get up any strong feelings about him, so I don't care much. I do like Amy though.
Ashley was predictably good but then again, she would be. Nice classic routine. Slidey bench was cheesy.
Faye was underwhelming IMO, and I agree with Craig that the cube didn't really serve any purpose.
Charles and Karen were sweet and romantic. Great acting.
Joe just looked silly. Smell-the-fart face throughout. Shirley is getting really weird with the embarrassing-auntie 'Gis a hug' stuff now.

I think it's Kate in the dance-off with maybe Charles.

If Graeme and Oti are voted off I'm going to start rooting for Charles, I've never had a problem with him, I don't like Karen but that doesn't matter, he has been so under marked every week that it's really getting to annoy me.

I like Ashley too, she's a beautiful dancer.

Bruno needs to go, I'd say he's getting on everyones nerves, I fast forward when he starts talking.

Charles is alright but I find his “I’m so humble, just a down to earth guy praying hard and being blessed and thankful” act tiring

Yes Bruno to go next then Darcy then Tess. Alijaz to present as he will be out by then. He’s been quiet lively this season
