That Samba and all things Strictly 2019 #3

[xsquared]

Starting this one in anticipation.

Never mind the Pokemon, is anyone else nervous about Mike Bushell doing a song from Magic Mike? I know I criticised his costume last week but I'd like him to be wearing one.

now you mention it...

At least Anneka can wear a yellow tracksuit this week!

Yes did make me wonder if it was her idea!

I can't even.. what if there is moves

Just caught up with ITT, I'm really hoping they let Gio do a dance in drag! Or at least show us him in drag on ITT.

That would be fab @covetingthepreciousthings. Thought he and Michelle were great on ITT.

Totally loving Rylan on ITT - much more relaxed and listens much better than Zoe, so makes the whole programme nicer.

My son bloody adores Pokemon but good Lord, a paso??
A paso should either be trad Spanish or feisty angry not bloody Shut up and Dance with me (AJ and Claudia) or Catch em all... With Janette as Pikachu presumably. Although that wouldn't make sense as Ralph's sidekick rather than enemy.
The Lorde track is too soon after Ore's paso tbh.
Mike is keeping his clothes on and wrt to that film we should have had Kelvin do Pony instead.
I am still insistent that Neil missed a trick not doing Loving Vincent.
Would also liked to have seen Shake it off (Sing) Shame shame shame (Pride) Maahi Ve (Ka ho naa ho) Across 110th Street (Jackie Brown) I see fire (Hobbit) I will survive (Priscilla) You can leave your hat on (Kelvin channelling Mickey Rourke or Full Monty, I don't care) Rescue Me (Sister Act but not sure Harvey Keitel trying to kill a nun is very Strictly) Sinnerman (Thomas Crown Affair) Windmills of your mind (TCA) or any Beatles track from Yesterday or Elton from Rocketman or Queen from Bohemian Rhapsody.

Assume pros will do Elton at some point. If not, someone has missed a trick not using Saturday Night's all right for fighting.

Anton as Austin Powers, I can't even.

That might lead to his downfall actually same as the Downton Abbey number. We get it, she's posh. Stop ramming it down our throats.
She's a lady from Miss Congeniality could have been used here and Roar! for the opening show. Could be an early bath for Aljaz.

David and Anneka are relying on Batman and Kill Bill to see them through. Magic Mike will depend how much kitchen sink is being chucked. The fake six pack has been used on DWTS but not to that song and the guy was very likeable and could move quite well.

It could be worse of course. Emma on DWTS got Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles one theme week.

Talking of, they had their movie week yesterday so Bruno's had to judge two shallow rumbas this week: Emma again (brunette this season as they have 3 blondes hmm) with Dawson Creek's James (going to get her 2nd with him)

They had tangos to Pretty Woman and Mamma Mia (all kinds of wrong), Sean Spicer doing John Travolta and Karamo jiving to I'm still standing with a background dancer channelling Bruno in the video.

@RageAgainstTheVendingMachine How is Karamo as a dancer? I'd love to see Tan France on the U.K. strictly but I'm not sure he'd do it.

Aaaah who knew that Joe Varney wants to be a drag queen!!!!! His english pronounciation is in need of a brush up but omg he is HOT

Ok so DH has mentioned that Michelle Visage looks a lot like an older version of Ashley Roberts...and once you see it, she really does! Must be a bit weird for Giovanni dancing with a lookalike version of his girlfriend

@Theromanempire same plastic surgeon?

Joking aside they do have exactly the same look, features wise very much too

A lot of couples look the same if you check out their eyes etc. not only celebrities. I wouldn't know Ashley Roberts if she bit me!

ppeatfruit did you not watch Strictly last year??

Hello Glitterbabes!

I've been Abroad but am back on home turf so catching up frantically on all my missed telly. Loving all your comments!

I absolutely adore Motsi, she's so positive. We should have had her YEARS ago, and not just for the boobage.

Speaking of body parts, who's that new chap with the bottom?

I don't know any of the celebs. Well, one or two, but none I'm particularly drawn to. I've listened to Chris whatsisname's podcast with his wife Rawsee, they are quite funny but a bit exhausting.

Crackers God love him was so out of his depth I was glad to see him go. M Visage's gem of a comment on his departure - "meh, he's a champ, he'll survive" - was brutal but spot on.

I'm rambling. Looking forward to Saturday now...

This one's for you, @Mrsjayy
