SCD 16 Glitter ball on the horizon🕺 💃

[xsquared]

Shiny new thread.

The final is normally all on one night so next Saturday only.

I thought the judges were reasonably kind there. Kinder than last week certainly.

Tess’s hairy dress is very disconcerting, wafting away all on its own. It’s actually more animated than she is.

Doesn't take much fleas

Well done Lauren

@AlexanderHamilton did you not see the samba last night?

I was so glad that Bruno complimented ALL of them.

After the comments they got yesterday - there have been some unnecessarily unkind remarks during this series.

AJ - you are a Toff!

At least they didn’t subject us to the dreadful samba again.
Should have been Joe in the DO but the end result would have been the same anyway

Ashley must know she can’t win. The look between her and Pasha had a rather resigned look I thought

Yes but to be fair lots of them had a particular dance that really didn’t suit them.

I’m finding this all a bit patronising. She’s an Olympian guys she’s fit and more accomplished than most people on this show

Aww lovely speeches!

Lovely speeches.

Very sweet speech by Lauren

Now that the DO participants have been revealed and the eliminated contestant...

I have something I'd like to SAY - Len Goodman style.

This is aimed at no individual post or poster and frankly, if you take offence to it it's because you're guilty

I am someone who has ALWAYS looked at the Spoiler for as long as the results show has been prerecorded but I appreciate that others want the anticipation of not knowing

Posting after 11pm on Saturday that you think the DO off will be X and Y, may well be speculative but to those who do read the spoiler it comes across as a desperate attempt from someone who HAS read the spoiler to appear to be innocent and wise and knowledgeable when in fact they are merely passing off something they know to be a spoiler and feigning a guess.

This has not just been a problem on the Strictly thread but also on threads with a US/UK Pace difference

To those people who do this, whoever you are:

It is smug
It is cunty
You fool absolutely nobody

Sincerely

The majority of the Strictly posters

in future I think we should post in the OP, absolutely no Dance Off "guesses" post 11pm on the night of broadcast

Obviously this doesn't apply to the final results which as far as I know are live (??)

END OF LEN GOODMAN PRONOUNCEMENT

AJ a toff? As in posh.

Dunner think so duck he’s a Stokie.

Ashley definitely knows she can’t win. Top of the leader board & in the dance off. No chance.

I eidn't mean to come across horribly (rather, pointing out the judge's hypocrisy). I voted x3 for Lauren last night as I'm not invested in the others and I didn't want her to have no votes

Does someone leave midway through the final next week? Do we get to see three or four showdances? I've lost track!

I always find the showdances a disappointment. I hope someone goes off-piste and does a Gleb special - or a Katya special! Bet she has some excellent ideas stashed away. Hate the (bad)lift-tastic contemptowafty ones.

Shut up Tess

Dear god, Ashley's face there! Talk about miserable.

Oh dear, Ashley looks very defeated :(

Why did they show the best bits montage tonight?
Isn’t that usually done on ITT?

I think we'll see all the showdances

Pawnee Len Hear hear,

I think we saw the montage because it's the semis

Ashley looked really mardy when she was announced as a finalist at the end there.
