Previous thread, sorry don’t know how to edit hyperlink on iPad.

The thing is in competitive dancing you do not argue with the judge/adjudicator, you just take their comments.

I'm referring back to the old thread here.

Also dancing is subjective, what one judge likes another might not.

Checking in.

I think that too, Belinda. You can’t have dancers arguing the toss over their marking, even if it seems off sometimes, or the whole point of having a judging panel is lost.

Just checking in.

Checking in

Checking in/marking place!

However I have noticed he tends to stoop and - how do I put this? - lead with the Lad. Very disconcerting.

Haha yes! I noticed Charles always seems hunched over like he’s dancing with a little flower girl at wedding.

That said now DJJ’s gone (who was my outside bet) I’m actually warming to him and hoping he does well. Likewise Kate who I think is always undermarked.

Can’t get excited about Ashley at all. Technically she’s brilliant but I just can’t warm to her.

Checking in, these threads move so fast!

Will I be able to watch Charles dance with a dispassionate eye in the future, or will I always be focused on his groin? Mind you, leading with his lad ought to work very well for the Samba.

Marking my place, thanks for the new thread

Yassss a fellow Count Fortuna fan! We're a rare breed

This is my favourite of his and Ali's dances

The thing with DJJ has left a nasty taste in the mouth.

I loved Graeme and Oti on ITT tonight and the way they both lost it a couple of times; neither of them could speak for crying with laughter. He seems a really nice, down to earth bloke and they look like they have a great relationship, without all the side bollocks and shenanigans. Apparently, he's lost 2 1/2 stone since the start of the series! He'll be as thin as Joe if he's not careful!

I have a couple of other things to add to my list of changes

*Show the dancers dancing and keep the bloody camera on them. I don't want to see singers or audience members. I want to see the whole dance, feet body and head at the same time. Not flicking camera angle every 10 seconds between the 3 so you can't see anything.
*Stop the audience shouting and screaming for every little turn and lift. Clap at the end or for something spectacular.

Stop the pantomime booing of the judges. Annoys the hell out of me.

IPromiseIWon'tBeNaughty me too

Here you all are

Shouldn't run at my age.

very nice interview

I have first dibs on Aljaz of old (with Alison) not the Aljaz-Gemma-Kate-OTT-fake-enthusiasm Aljaz

YES - someone else has noticed... Aljaz is still beautiful, but with all his comedy gurning he has lost his smouldering sex appeal! So disappointing!

sorry - Kevin and Stacey in the interview above (thought they'd appear on the screenshot). I'd be happy enough if they won.

Glad it's not just me! He's clearly a nice bloke but just too much this and last series. Still would though

Thank you.

SheCameFromGreeceSheHadaThirst that was wonderful! Ali is better than I remembered.

I think I sometimes get her mixed up with the Countdown lady (numbersbitch to Monkseal fans) Pasha partnered (are they still an item?)

I miss the old show, it's all too manic and gimmicky now. Can you imagine brooding Artem in the current format?! He'd be having none of it

All the extra props and gimmicks drive me nuts... just get on with the fecking dancing 😫
