SCD 15 Running out of time just like Ashley

Apologies if a duplicate

And we're back

You don't actually get blown away if you are blown away either.

Anyone watch It Takes Two last night? I was really surprised by the pro challenge results, it looked a mess compared to some of the other pros.

Kevin is in the lead with the pros challenge with 40 steps.

What was up with it coveting?

I still remember Lilia's (?) reaction when she got zero points

Kevin probably deserves to win something

God I miss Lilia!!

Aw that was just like me, bless her, I can now claim to dance mat like a pro!

Lilia vs the dance machine was epic! 😍😍😍

I though so too, I thought he was going to beat Janette for disqualified steps

Ooh, I saw this idea on the Digital Spy forums and it made me wonder what my answers would be, so I'm thinking aloud here if that's OK

Favourite dance ever of each type [disclaimer: I have only been watching since Harry Judd's series.]

1. Cha Cha Cha - Danny & Oti
2. Salsa - Louis & Flavia
3. Samba - Danny & Oti
4. Waltz - Abbey & Aljaz
5. Viennese Waltz - Danny & Oti
6. Foxtrot - Debbie & Giovanni
7. American Smooth - Danny & Oti
8. Quickstep - Harry & Aliona
9. Tango - Jay & Aliona
10. Argentine Tango - Debbie & Giovanni
11. Charleston - Sophie & Brendan
12. Jive - Jay & Aliona
13. Paso Doble - Alexandra & Gorka
14. Rumba - Jay & Aliona
15. Showdance - Louis & Flavia

I struggled with the foxtrot because none of them really stood out for me, and struggled with the Charleston because I LOVE Georgia and Giovanni's too. In fact, I'm still not sure which one I've rewatched most...

I’ll play OLBINC.

How about we mix it up a bit by saying you can’t repeat a dance anyone had already picked? Get us to dive a bit deeper? (I realise that that’s easy to say if I’m going second).

Whenever I think of my favourite strictly dance it’s always jay & Aliona’s jive. I seem to forget all other dances - and I’ve been watching since the start

you can’t repeat a dance anyone had already picked?

Ooh, a cruel twist!

Stacey & Kevin are the latest the papers are going after it seems...

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but AJ's success on Celebrity Hunted will have broadened his fanbase.
He showed himself to be fairly canny and resilient in a very different setting from the dancefloor.

Tess is currently on Lorraine and I think is one of the few people I’ve seen who actually needs an autocue to be interviewed

.coveting What are they saying about Stacey andKev? They were lovely on ITT yesterday, Kev did well on the pro challenge, good for him.

@ppeatfruit about her boyfriend being 'insanely jealous' etc, the usual curse talk, she's posted a picture on Instagram of her & her boyfriend with a 👊🏻 as the caption. Feel sorry for anyone on the show having that sort of stuff made up about their relationships, must put a strain on it.

Thanks (I don't read them) Yes it must be difficult for the couples' partners, some celebs refuse to go on Strictly because of it don't they?

They will run out of decent celebs wanting to go on SCD if they aren’t careful.

Lol at Tess and the autocue interview. She must know where all the bodies are buried to keep her job.

I didn't watch Kevin's pro challenge, sounds suspicious!

Lineup announced for the tour:

Stacey & Aljaz
Ashley & Pasha
Ranj & Janette
Lauren & AJ
Joe & Dianne
Graeme & Karen
Faye & Giovanni

So no Oti and no Kevin on the tour, replaced by Karen and Aljaz. Aljaz will do a fab job with Stacey I'm sure but I'm not convinced by the Karen and Graeme pairing.

It's always a good show though.

Yes Gareth Dh reckons that Lorraine will have been given a list of questions that the Beeb will 'suggest' she asks and Tess is too thick to be trusted to answer them without help from the autocue!

Tess really is dreadful. Claudia must feel awful having to play second fiddle to such a dimwit.

I don't think Claudia does play second fiddle to Tess. It's pretty clear that Tess does the boring rote stuff and Claudia does the free-wheeling questions and reactions stuff. If they were cops Tess would be directing traffic and Claudia would be a detective interviewing suspects.
