SCD 15 Running out of time just like Ashley

[PawneeParksDept]

Apologies if a duplicate

And we're back

I'm going with my Mum Fleas, my DD isn't interested in Strictly. Somewhere, somehow my parenting has failed tragically.

Argh.. I HATED smug Tom Chambers and was over the moon the week that no matter what happened, I thought he would have to leave. Nothing can describe the rage when they stopped the votes and he was basically allowed a bye despite his performances placing him in that position.

God - I hated that man.. not helped by him slating the show since saying it was stage managed to within an inch of its life - the Austin bromance was definitely not genuine!!

He was just awful and really tarnished it for me.. don't think I've ever objected as much to a winner before or since (and Colin was completely robbed!!)

So disappointed with the scoring this week! Apart from Craig the judges are bloody useless. Really want Joe to be out next week but Lauren has gone way beyond now hasn’t she. If it was ballroom all the way she’d be fine but her Latin is painful.

No one is allowed to be a mass of contradictions on MN. Charles is cocky and deeply upset at leaving SCD and deeply appreciative of Karen's efforts and well loved by crew and staff on SCD... It's all possible.

I'm not a Charles fan but I think he came across well on ITT.
It was lovely to see Gorka.

Have you seen the treatment Gorka has been having on his back? It's on his instagram and looks painful - kept waiting for the towel to slip when he was bending over
Loved his comment on ITT, implying he has a six pack but Joe Varney hasn't

Yes Kazza, I stalk Gorka too on Instagram. He insists the treatment isn't painful though. Looks it!

Mmmm, Gorka. I've missed him.

I know it's been a few years since he was doing it but thatching or thatchering if you're Dianne must involve a certain level of upper body strength.

What did Ashley say/do? I completely missed it!

I feel with Jo he has started to believe how brilliant he is and isn't improving that much. He just does a smug, overbearing look that didn't for Joseph and tries to act the part. I can't blame him - he's getting scores to say he's amazing - but I can't help wondering how he could have done had people been more honest.

@SanFranBear I have NEVER read a post on a Mumsnet I agree with as much as this one.

Every.
Single.
Word.

I'm a bit gutted about Charles leaving. That rumba was beautiful. I really disliked him in the launch show and week one - he seemed really quite sleazy and playing up the whole sexy Idris Elba vibe. But I reckon producers or Karen must have had a word and told him to tone it down. I'm not wild about the prayer hands shtick either but I do really like his dancing.
Shit for him to go out against Ashley. Her quick step was super quick and clearly technically impressive but I just didn't enjoy watching it.

I think I'm in the minority, I didn't think Charles' rumba was all that
I liked some of his latin dances.

SanFranBear I was definitely naive and captivated by all the beautiful dancing - I haven't come across Tom's bitching!

I think I was distracted by my dislike of Lisa Snowdon to register much else!

Lisa and Brendan were my favourite couple that year. I suspect I'm in a minority.

Look what I found!

A minority of one

I'll join your minority, ilove.

@SanFranBear and @shutlingsloe are my spirit animals.

I felt like the lone voice that year

He was utterly rage inducing and my DM and I cried RIGGED at the TV and my DM threatened to not watch it next year 😂

Let's all enjoy this one more time.

Even then I thought black fringing on a leotard was an unfortunate choice

Let's all enjoy this one more time.

Never not awesome.

I spotted this the other day...Baby AJ

And they were talking about this today on the radio

I loved Tom Chambers show dance! Had no idea he had previous experience.

I don’t think they had a choice really about cancelling the vote as all the people voting for him were being conned if it was impossible for him to go through and it’s not fair for people who haven’t realised this (which most people wouldn’t as the system is a bit opaque) to be paying to vote when it can’t make a difference to the outcome. I don’t think that’s deliverate rigging to get their favoured contestant through, I think it’s trying to avoid a scandal when it’s later pointed out that thousands of people paid to vote for an outcome that wasn’t possible.
