SCD 14 - in a JOEVERMARKED ballroom, Oti we loved your Swansong

[PawneeParksDept]

Took the liberty of starting a new thread. Hope the title suits!

Sorry- couldn't see her feet properly.

Next week will be the last week of new dances and I've still not seen a good Argentine tango yet! I hope Faye and Gio get to to do one as his AT was very good with Debbeh last year.

With the exception of show dance that is.

James Jordan's tweets on tonight's dances sum up a lot of what's been said here, mainly Joe - WTF and some dodgy scoring going on. He also commented along the lines of those doing the tour being shown favouritism (Joe and Stacey)

I voted Charles x 1 and Faye x 2 normally give all my votes to Faye, but I thought his rumba was really good and didn't make me cringe. That is voteworthy enough for a male rumba 😂

AJ reminds me of the illustrations in the Famous Five books.*

I am getting seriously pissed off by the blatant under marking of Charles and the over marking of Joe - and Stacey tonight.

The judges comments are really not reflected in their marks! Seriously, Joe's Samba tonight merited an 8 at best. The 10 from Bruno is just WTF

Voted stacey, faye and lauren
Did not understand ashleys scores, ithought a 10 meant t was perfect,notyour arms were wrong

I forgot to vote

I've just rewatched Stacey's dance and decided I loved it. There was more actual dancing than I remembered, I loved the story because it made sense for the character she was playing. Wish I'd given her 2 votes now but Charles probably needed it more.

I just rewatched all 6 dances. I still love Faye’s Charleston, and still hate Joe’s salsa. I still think Charles’ dance was more contempowaft than rumba, and Stacey’s was more act than dance (her footwork is awful). I still think Ashley’s dance is too frenetic, and Lauren’s is nice-but-dull.

I’m almost certain Ashley will be in the dance off again. Probably with Charles, possibly with Lauren or Joe.

Faye, Charles and Charles

I really enjoyed the show as a whole. Joe has reached his peak and really should be gone next.

Sorry but slating joe for his weight is ridiculous! If you watched his videos you would know how he struggles to gain weight, his mum and sister are the same.

Does anyone check the strictly spoiler?

I just saw it by accident by looking at the #Strictly hashtag on Twitter. Can't believe people post it so openly, I thought you had to dig for it. But we don't discuss it here.

Spoiler is correct but we make no allusions to it on here in any shape way or form or everyone will kill us and no jury would convict them...
but there is open chat on Digital Spy Spoiler Thread only.

No idea about hashtags, I meant dave thorps site

Although I want to put Gios wig up there along with Vincents Scooby Doo or Robins Buck Fizz, or some of Karens bless her, I have to say Vicky Giggles got it spot on.

Does anyone else think that the judges give their opinions honestly (sort of)

Then while the cameras are watching them going up the stairs (magician distraction etc)

That the producers are telling them in their ears what number to hold up

Hence why there is something wrong about xyz arms or footwork or frame etc then they get a 10 etc

Just seems a bit strange how they can see faults in a dance but then give it perfect marks

I thought Darcey’s 10 for Ashley after criticising her arms and Bruno’s 10 for Joe were both odd and I did wonder of something was afoot. I don’t think they’re told what to give for all their scores, but I felt like those two were a bit forced!

I think Pasha’s response to being in the bottom two was to show Ashley’s skill and I think that’s the wrong approach. We all know she’s an amazing dancer already and it’s not a vote-winner. I love her and thought she looked divine last night but that quickstep was just too fast and left no room for characterisation or narrative, which I think really matter on Musicals Week. I think she’ll definitely be bottom two again - and possibly in trouble if against Faye. I loved that Charleston! Also felt completely swept away by Stacey’s American Smooth and I liked Charles’ rumba more than I expected I would. It could go any which way but I’m expecting a Charles/Ashley dance off with him to go.

For goodness' sake Pawnee!

You had ONE job!

Then while the cameras are watching them going up the stairs (magician distraction etc)

That the producers are telling them in their ears what number to hold up

No, they submit their scores electronically in the last few seconds of the dance, so that production can get the graphics ready

I feel so geeky saying this, but Charles' "best male rumba everrrrr" (which I really liked) got given 4 points less than Jay McGuinness. Short memory, Craig?

Morning! Was watching last night but was also playing host so sadly couldn't sit on phone MNting. Anyway caught up with everyone's comments and agree entirely. So annoyed with Charles' undermarking now. It's ridiculous. He was brilliant last night! Really hoping he's not in the DO later.

Right, see you all this eve!

If anyone is in the DO against Ashley they will be gone
