SCD 15 Running out of time just like Ashley

[PawneeParksDept]

Apologies if a duplicate

And we're back

I reckon even directing traffic, would be a stretch, she would have to use both arms & concentrate on the traffic.

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

Oh, joy!

I think I'd prefer someone with personality who's able to riff with Claudia. Even dare I say it - Graham Norton?

I'm speaking from years ago, I've never watched his chat show on the beeb, apologies if he's unbearable these days

A safe pair of hands who's able to send the show up a bit (gently)

I don't this Tess is going anywhere.

I can’t believe Tess still has one of the top jobs in tv. It stills irks me every week that she’s not on her spot after the dance off!!!! I don’t know why it winds me up so much but I MUST get round to sending a strongly worded email to the BBC

I MUST get round to sending a strongly worded email to the BBC

PLEASE sign it "Disgusted of Mumsnet"

I really wish Claudia would sort her fringe and eye make up out. I sometimes can't watch her on tv. I liked her look in the clip up thread, suited her much better.

Neil & Katya have a big announcement tomorrow... I hope it's a tour! I'd love to see them live.

Well neither of them are on the strictly tour this year - and they have both been on it in previous years.

Ooh, Dave fancies Khal Drogo!

Yes! Claudia looked much better in that video of the old dance challenge with Lilia and Darren

Wonder why Oti isn't on tour.

I saw Graziano and Katya on the sofa on ITT, missed the segment. Did one of them knock Kevin off the top of the pro challenge?!

They both did Gareth, so they are joined first.

@GarethSouthgatesWaistcoat I wonder if Oti has commitments in that Greatest Dancer show that's coming up that means she can't do the tour?

Why is Zoe so demented on ITT? She doesn't listen to anyone really and she is so attention seeking.

Ok so I know not many people on here like Joe, but this video of them reacting to their salsa has so many good bits in

Honestly was cry-laughing at the failed lift during the dress rehearsal, mostly because of Dianne's hysteria. Him catching her before she fainted was so sweet too

Oh I hadn't heard of The Greatest Dancer coveting - good for her!

Poor Kevin, his time at the top was shortlived xsquared

I've given up watching ITT derxa
Zoe is just "yayayyayayyay!" and the whole thing is too manic. Give your interviewees time to respond ffs. It's irritating as I'd quite like a midweek dose of Strictly

No way I can do all of these (especially if you can't repeat and I have a memory like a sieve...)

1. Cha Cha Cha - Alesha & Matt
2. Viennese Waltz - Jimi & Flavia
3. American Smooth - Jason & Kristina
4. Quickstep - Colin & Erin
5. Tango - Anita & Gleb
6. Argentine Tango - Alesha & Matt
7. Charleston - Claudia & AJ
8. Jive - Louisa & Vincent
9. Paso Doble - Austin & Erin
10. Rumba - Cherie & James
11. Showdance - Snowdance Had to get one Brendan dance in as he was my favourite pro from day 1!

It amazes me that Tess is still a presenter. Mind you I’m amazed that Shirley is a judge so I clearly know nothing

Aw... had to rewatch them all and it's made me all warm & glowy.

Except for some reason, Jimi & Flavia's Viennese Waltz isn't there. It was just glorious - it was at Halloween and they waltzed around this purple cauldron that was just oozing dry ice and it was absolutely amazing! Probably technically shit but my god, I adored it...

Back online following the great O2 outage of 2018. I said I'd do it, but SanFran's nicked my chacha and Quickstep!

1. Cha Cha Cha - Ed and Katya (Love Potion number 9 - I really don't like cha chas apart from Alesha's)
2. Salsa - Matt di Angelo and Flavia
3. Samba - Joe and Katya (Money Song - I don't like real Sambas either)
4. Waltz - Matthew and Alesha
5. Viennese Waltz - Harry and Aliona
6. Foxtrot - Matthew and Alesha (I seem to have something in my eye)
7. American Smooth - Danny and Oti (Misty Blue)
8. Quickstep - Chelsee and Pasha (Pan Am Sing Sing Sing)
9. Tango - James and Camilla (Mein Herr doll dance)
10. Argentine Tango - Jay and Aliona
11. Charleston - Georgia and Giovanni (Hot Honey Rag)
12. Jive - Austin and Erin (WozRobbed)
13. Paso Doble - Anita and Gleb (they did it on the tour and it was EPIC)
14. Rumba - Colin and Erin
15. Showdance - Jason and Kristyna

Morning all,

I thought you'd be interested in this article trending on the bbc news site - Strictly Come Dancing: Is Ashley Roberts 'too good' to be a contestant? www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-46443299

"But this year, the celebrity in the firing line arguably has a more notable dance background than any before her."

The main thing I take from that article is that Ashley is 37! Makes me find the cutesy persona a lot more difficult to take when the person employing it is older than me.

Gareth ITT The whole thing is too manic It CAN be a bit manic but usually it's ok, it has improved actually, they're doing pro's histories ,it was interesting watching ALL the contestants that have danced with the Slovenian boy (sorry I've forgotten his name) and his thoughts on them. Also a proper dance class for each dance with Luba and Johannes that is brilliant !!!

I don't mind Zoe at least she has the brains to hold the thing together. Oh and Darcey was answering viewers questions last night, she thought that Charles and Karen have done the best , street type dance!!!

Oh no, I switched off at the wrong time - those bits sound good! I always enjoy hearing more about the pros (less so Dave )

I just can't with Zoe's interviewing style, it's too much. I've valiantly tried for a number of years

I was hoping they might reboot ITT with someone else since Zoe's got the Radio 2 job

Maybe you could record it and FF Zoe's bits? I

Weirdly I really enjoy ITT, sometimes I worry I might enjoy it more than the actual strictly (hangs head in shame) I especially like Waite's warm up - I wish we had more actual training VTS and less "oh we're dancing to the wheels on the bus this week so we thought we'd go and learn to be bus drivers" nonsense
