SCD#12 The cat crept in and crept out again...

[Myimaginarycathasfleas]

New thread to take us to Blackpool!

I am very old-fashioned Soup

Your oil-pouring is very kind ppeat.

We're back and in the words of Craig it was 'fabulous'!

It's was just amazing, a very long day but so worth it.

We got there at 5.45 am and we got tickets 105 and 106. Ticket 1 was there at 1am and they got very good seats.

We were the third row opposite the judges and our seats were fab. I had to pinch myself when they did the opening dance as that took my breath away!

Oh and Gloria did not lip sinc, she was fab! The dance is pre-recorded around an hour before it goes live and I think it was out of sinc.

We waited for the dancers/stars to arrive around 8.30 and they were so kind. Aliash was lovely, Stacey not so! She clearly didn't want to chat to the people waiting or the kids, which I thought was a shame as they were all shouting her and she rushed in.

Photo of Aliash for you all, yes I was this close! 🤣

Oooh! Welcome back Rarebit - glad you had such a good time and that you had a grandstand view* - I'm sure we'll all winkle the interesting gossip out of you sooner or later.

BUT - some people on this thread think that Stacey and KGB are dancing the "horizontal tango", others (I include myself in this camp) don't see any evidence for this.

You have seen them in the flesh - which viewpoint would you tend to support . . . . ?

*Poor ticket 1 must have been frozen to her seat with a wait like that!

welshrarebit do you have to be all dolled up
at 5.45 am??

No I don't think they are at it, having watched Kevin yesterday he's just a very very good dancer. He loves it and puts his heart and soul into it.

If I had to choose the best male dancer I'd say Giovanni. He has it all, looks, moves and his body, just wow!

Aliash for personality (and looks) he is such a nice man.

I think Pascha and Ash will win, or Faye abs Gio.

No, you get your ticket validated and get given a time to come back. Ours was 2pm, I've never seen so many sequins!

At 9.30am we went for a full English, and a wander round Blackpool,

Oh and Gloria did not lip sinc, she was fab!

Aliash was lovely, Stacey not so!

This is the Strictly GOLD that we need! Very disappointed with Stacey. I wanted her to win, but have now switched my allegiance to Faye.

abs Gio

Little Freudian autocorrection there rarebit?

Your oil-pouring is very kind ppeat.

Your posts make me smile SchadenfreudePersonified

Aliash was lovely, Stacey not so!

Ahh interesting. Stacey has blotted her copybook now.

See now I feel slightly smug as I didn’t quite believe all the Stacey hype

Aliash was lovely, Stacey not so! Oh no! You'll be saying that Charles is a 7 stone weakling next.

I've lost track completely now - which dances has Ashley done so far?

You are vindicated Outraged. I feel ashamed for ever doubting you.

Thank you Inkanta - I think I must be an acquired taste,

I think all these 'celebrities' must have quite an ego to take part in SCD. They just find different ways to mask it. DJJ's mask truly slipped

festive, she’s done a rumba, tango, Charleston and jive. I think a Viennese waltz as well, not sure what else.

Schaden

Charles is sent from heaven above, his physique is stunning! 🤣

I was literally next to him when it all finished, he's also lovely.

Happy to answer any questions apart from who went home!

OutragedEtc Me too re. Kevin and Stacey. Admittedly I've given up watching ITT but he did seem awfully keen on her the first few weeks I watched! She seemed to be gently (and awkwardly) rebuffing him while simultaneously trying to do the whole touchy-feely 'vote for us!' stuff

ilovewelshrarebit123 superb gossip! Aljaz looks even more handsome in your photo, novelty glasses and all! Shocking Stacey slunk off inside! I get people having a bad day/feeling under the weather but 5mins wouldn't have killed her would it?
derxa makes a good point!

ilovewelshrarebit ooh all sounds fabulous, did you see anything of Tess or Claud?

Schaden I luffs you, please please can I be on the Nan jury am currently in the process of having a nice tasteful perm & blue rinse furiously trying to learn to knit, have got a book an all .

I think Ashley has done foxtrot.

@ilovewelshrarebit123

Fantastic gossip

Did they take your phones off you when you went in?

Were you allowed to bring drinks and snacks? What about loo breaks? Where did you leave your coats?

Were the dances much more spectacular in real life than they look on tv?

Lastly, did the producers interfere with anything or was it all natural as it seems on tv?
