SCD #11 Blackpool (drink) Blackpool (drink) Blackpool (drink)

[ThursdayLastWeek]

Continued...

Charles for his highest scores on the weeks he went last. I think he should be safe this week.

DJJ and possibly Kate in the DO. Joe was ridiculously overmarked.

Rewatched all the dances and my faves were, Charles and Lauren. I think Gio was just too amazing in the jive and it showed Faye up a bit tbh.

Danny was better than Joe by a mile and as for that monstrosity that Graeme produced? To quote Dave....”My goodness”

Graeme should be in the DO for that. The judges have tried their best to keep him in though

Both Stacey and Kate were forgettable to me. I felt Lauren ballroom danced them off the floor tonight.

Are we getting to the point when mathematically Ashley can end up in the dance-off even if she comes first with the judges? I hated that dance - it reminded me of some of those show dances which consist mainly of various poses and the woman being manhandled into unlikely positions by her partner. Distinct shades of Brendan and Lisa Snowdon there.

I'm very late to the party... but just needed to say...

What the actual fuck were the judges watching with Graeme? Because it wasn't what I was watching.

He was awful. And was there a missed lift at one point ,where Oti was upside down and lifted her leg to the back of Graeme's head, and he reached behind him and strained... and then sort of gave up? It was weird.

I cannot believe they gave it 8s.

placemarking for tonight.

Don't think I will be here for the results show. We are going to watch the beacon being lit in the village...

I was watching Danny get his comments from the judges last night and realised his smile doesn't reach his eyes. Even DS noticed it.

I can easily believe the stories in the papers, I'm afraid. And if you watch the way the other pros receive his dance and the aftermath in the Clauditorium, they're not very warm to him. Smiley Kevin looks really sombre.

My DH's friend worked on Red Dwarf. I might get him to get the Goss. I don't remember him saying anything bad about him.

I think Danny is obnoxious and arrogant. I also think his dancing is very stiff and jerky, and he hasn't improved at all since week one. He absolutely deserves to be in the dance off.

Stacey made me laugh when she was talking about her waltz. It was exactly what I thought! Maybe it was technically correct. I agree the ballroom was dull apart from Lauren and AJ.

His tweets from previous years were very critical of Strictly. I feel like he joined with an agenda- to "prove" his comments were right. This all tallies up with that.

I didn't like Joe last night but I doubt he will be anywhere near the dance off!

I think that’s a fair point about DJJ. He’s obviously a competent dancer, but he hasn’t improved at all.

Oti's arse is just mesmerising,

As it was intended to be . . . the less able the celeb, the more distracting the professional.

Haven't watched SCD for a while but am struck by Shirley' face. What has she done? Looks like the tightest facelift I've ever seen.

I think tbh it would be a kindness if DJJ did get the push.

He doesn't seem to be enjoying it, physically it appears to be a strain for him, and he certainly isn't getting any fitter or better.

Don't know whether rumours are wrong or right, but no-one should be voted out because of rumour.

Dahnce, Dahhhhhling! - Dahnce, alone, is the criterion!

Now Seann's gone, if Danny goes, who are the press going to go after next?

I agree he has actually stayed at the same level since the start. Don't think his hear is in it.

I think joe will win purely on numbers of fans and it will be a shame for Stacey who probably deserves to win out the lot of them

Oti is all-round amazing (and beautiful)! She's done magic things in getting Graeme through so far - he's trying really hard and has improved a lot. And her legs go on for ever.... not in the least bit envious

Danny has made his disdain about strictly known in the past n his thoughts about "proper celebs" so I think he will be non too pleased if he leaves against a lesser known celeb.

Stacey who probably deserves to win out the lot of the lot I do think long term career wise the ones who don't win tend to do better so am sure she will be fine. And hopefully in her next dance they'll be less dry ice so you can actually see her feet.

Joe was appalling last night, truly appalling and I do not get the voting at all. He's a nobody, famous for feck all...just a fan following when he is talentless.

Cant watch anymore after the blatant fixed voting last night.

I know I'll get rotten tomatoes thrown but I don't get this fan worship of Oti. She's lovely and funny in interviews I agree. I'll focus next time she dances. I usually just 'see' the celebrity

Are we getting to the point when mathematically Ashley can end up in the dance-off even if she comes first with the judges?

I don't understand this. Anyone can be in the DO regardless of their score. Look at Charles for example.
