Sparkle Sparkle Strictly 17 Thread #4

[xsquared]

Shiny new thread.

Agree Aladdin was vastly overmarked

Honestly think bottom two could be any combination out of Mike, Anneka and Will

I think David has done enough and was undermarked compared to the vastly inflated marks others got

I voted twice for Emma W and once for Saffron.

Think Alex might be in danger with a very unmemorable dance. Plus Anneka, Mike, Will and David.

Voted for Chris 3 times. Anneka or David to go hopefully!

I went for David, Alex and Karim, who are the couples I like who might be in danger. Alex in particular was in the death slot.

I voted for both Emmas and Alex, as I think she is at risk of being in the middle of the board and having been second to dance tonight.

Voted for Michelle, Catherine and Kelvin tonight.

I voted 2 X David and once for Chris.

Dd voted for Alex, Catherine and Chris.

I thought Emma & Anton, Karim and David were all undermarked. Lots of overmarking going on too.

I've gone for Michelle, Karim and Saffron. Think Kelvin and Dev will be safe so haven't voted for them.

Anneka should go buy whether she will is a different story!

There's too many to choose from!

I've gone for Dec, Johannes and Michelle. I also wanted to vote for Kelvin but I think he'll go through.

I agree Horehound

Anneke was dreadful - but I blame KFG for that.

I think that Anneka should leave this weekend, or Mike. Will wasn’t great but he was better than those. David has improved and I’d like to see him next week, likewise Chris.

Will has potential. Mike and Anneka are not going to get any better, although Anneka might manage a basic American Smooth in another nice frock before she goes out. David is probably not going to get any better but I rather like his slightly over-earnest teamwork with Nadiya - it makes a change from all the more hyper contestants.

Our Zumba teacher threw in a body roll for one song. Imagine twenty ladies of a certain age attempting it, we looked like we were having trouble with our Tena pants.

This won the internet, for me tonight. Hilarious
It reminded me of trying to get my knickers on in the morning. I have to do a weird body roll to get my knickers over my bum

I bet Catherine would love reading your post, Johannes is the pro.

Late to the party
What happened with anton?
We voted aneka, mishelle and chris

I'd like Anneka to stay for the comedy value.

@Samcro

Craig made a joke about Anton clearly having fake teeth in except he didn't, they were his own teeth 😂

Such fun watching Anton tonight, I really like him. Craig's teeth comment was hilarious!

Thanks, i rewound and thought Thats was what it was

Really didn’t get the judges love for the Aladdin dance, way overmarked, certainly wasn’t as Motsi said an unforgettable strictly dance, I have quite a few that’s certainly not one
Also I’m in the minority but thought remade star is born was awful and hate that song , Lady gaga is no Streisand and so it put me off Johannes rumba.
I loved Aliz dance v simple but lovely, was that the viscountess mum and sister really looked like they have overdone the plastic surgery ?

I came in late and missed Michelle’s dance at the beginning, so went back and watched it at the end. It really was comfortably better than all the others. (Although Karim’s samba was probably bloody good under all that fluff).

I loved Tess's dress tonight...think that was the most shocking part of the whole evening

We are obsessed with Johannes in this house. He's this dancing savant. You can't take your eyes off him. DH is convinced he's some replicant/android.

Of the celebs, I think Michelle did best this evening.

Kelvin did a very swarthy West End routine but take away the athleticism and I'm not sure it was technically as precise.

Most improved = tied between Chris (undermarked) and Emma B.

Emma really enjoyed that routine and it showed. However it shocked me that she was so scared about the lifts. She barely had to lift her feet off the ground! It doesn't bode well that she can't even do that without freaking out a bit.
Plus point : Anton is reining it in a lot more than usual, and the teeth thing was hilarious.

Chris: for Week 3, for someone who's barely ever even danced at a wedding, I thought he was pretty good? I guess the judges don't favour him, which is a shame as he's light on his feet and he showed some elegance and accuracy.

Anneke was dreadful - but I blame KFG for that.

Why on earth? She simply can't dance, though she did better last week by virtue of being in hold. It's not her fault, and it certainly isn't KFG's.
