SCD 15 Running out of time just like Ashley

[PawneeParksDept]

Apologies if a duplicate

And we're back

AJ is in his late twenties (I watched Celebrity Hunted recently and it was mentioned) which means that it's even weirder when everyone fluffs about how childlike he is.

I haven't enjoyed any of Joe's dances, as to me he looks wooden and lacking in natural rhythm. He literally just walked about in his Paso Unfortunately he seems popular with the public. Unless he's in the DO with Ashley I think he's walking straight to the glitter ball.

Oh and I’m another fan of Tom Chambers Showdance. IIRC a lot of it’s imact came from the fact it wasn’t contempowaft bollox.

Although I also seem to recall there was some sort of funny business in the semis where they all danced the AT? And his and Camillas was obviously the worst but then they tied somehow and they just put everyone through? That always felt a bit like a fix to me, but since I liked him I turned a blind eye

I had forgotten about TC & Camilla’s showdance. Loved it - really didn’t get the ringer thing at the time.

I do vote for Lauren but I think she will go next week. Charles did really well this weekend and his farewell speech was spot on. Kept thinking of the leading with his lad comments
Really can’t call a winner this year and not sure I can get worked up about it for the first time ever.

When the now disgraced Justin Lee Collins fronted It Takes Two Season 1

There was an ongoing joke about the fact that Anton dressed like a middle aged man and an actual segment where two of the younger male dancers took him out to buy him some jeans

Adam Lambert is great.
Looking forward to seeing what two dances they all choose from what's left next week. Looks like a lot of Argentine Tangos still to go as a possibility!

Here you all are! I've been looking all OVER!

I remember Adam Lambert from the American Idol days. He was in the final & lost to a nice but v average boy. Who lets the public vote on anything ?

Adam Lambert won Idol

I stand corrected he DIDNT!

😱

God I feel like I genuinely remember him winning that's so strange

Mandala effect

I like Lauren & think shes brave to tackle something where she's at a disadvantage - and I like AJ, he comes across a a nice guy and a supportive partner. I've been voting for then, but no more as I think their time is up.

However, I think Joe should have gone this week, based on this week's dances. I am sad for Ashley, she was genuinely upset - but she shouldn't be in it at all, she's basically a pro.

I will be voting hard for Gavin and Stacey now, I think Stacey is ace, and I like KFG & would like to see him win one...

I won't be upset if Faye wins, either. The others - noooo....

I went to see Brendan's tour in the spring, and during the chatty bit he said that last year, he walked into a room and found AJ and Mollie kissing. They leapt apart apparently, and stared "casually" at the ceiling. He did an impression of it which was v funny.

we voted for Lauren.
i want Stacey to win. but of Joe does I won't be upset because he isn't a ringer.
I love the show but they need to sort out the judges. the favouritism to ringers is awful. was the same last year.
I don't feel sorry for Ashley. she only had to watch last years show to see how it goes.

I'm thick? What does salad days mean?

Sad for Charles and Karen, loved their dance.

My worst nightmare would be a Joe/Ashley final.
I just can't watch Joe dance, makes me cringe.
I suppose it will have to be Stacey for me now as most improved from a novice. Don't mind Faye either.

salad days - heyday/when something was great
similar to halcyon days - happy/successful time

I still love Strictly as much as I ever did. i am a huge geek

ThursdayLastWeek yes the Tom Chambers voring debacle! Something about the leaderboard meant that Tom could never proceed to the next round even if he had the highest public vote. Hence the vote was suspended/phone votes refunded (?) and all of them put through. I can't even recall who was in his final, was it Rachel Stevens and Lisa Snowdon? Haha Snowdance came up on autocorrect!
Rachel Stevens was incredible, I might go and rewatch some of her routines. Lisa Snowdon was annoying although I loved Brendan.

Wow that was the season with John Sergeant furore. The press lost their collective mind
I liked Jodie Kidd/Ian Waite and Cheri Lunghi/James Jordan partnerships. Karen Hardy danced with Gary Rhodes. It all seems so long ago!

*voting debacle

Cheri and James... that was a beautiful rumba.

I love Laurenand AJ
Don’t really get Joe at all. He seems like a lovely person but his dancing is gangly and angular.

Faye was incredible tonight

I want Ashley & joe in DO. Just to see the judges reaction.

It’s annoying that bbc don’t release votes. I wonder if it’s because there’s only a short opportunity to vote so the voting figures aren’t as high as X factor & so they can’t pretend that results show is filmed on a Sunday. Not explaining very well but hopefully you get what I mean!

I like Lauren. Maybe she gets the Nan vote. (I am old enough to be a Nan but no one calls me that in real life).
The quote is 'In my salad days when I was green in judgement' implying regret at youthful folly.

Just out of interest, why are we not allowed to know the exact figures when it comes to voting?

I really don't know - series 1-9 you at least got told who was 2nd and 3rd.
Series 10 onwards they began announcing the winner only.
You would think with the license fee still being paid and it being a phone vote that there would be more transparency.

Couldn’t agree more Mozzie
