Sparkle Sparkle Strictly 17 Thread #4

[xsquared]

Shiny new thread.

Marking place for later. I completely forgot Strictly last week so was faffing about and missed the first hour. What time is it tonight

I’m not super comfortable with couples turning good natured, natural Instagram cuteness into what is essentially a business.
Good luck to them or whatever, but I won’t be watching and I’ll probably unfollow them individually.

Looking forward to tonight. I know the themes are often try hard and silly but there’s usually a gem or two hidden in there as well.

Jay and Alionas jive for instance.

7.10 I think Redcrayons

I'm not sure I'm going to be watching tonight. I'm coming down with something and the thought of all the screaming in the show makes my ears want to disappear inside my head. We will see. Maybe some wine will dull the senses.

It’ll still be there for your viewing pleasure tomorrow Grouchy. Look after them ears

Just staggering in: exhausted (my working week is Monday to Saturday) and envying everyone being witty and clever and lovely...

Trying desperately to untangle myself from Fleas flamenco cape & practising stamping moves whilst holding onto various percussion instruments for dear life, hoping that RL doesn’t get in the way again tonight so can actually sit n watch.
Grouchy hope you feel better very soon, wine is a tried & tested cure for all ills🍷

Really hope that they dont have Tess mention Dev dropping Diane, fair enough if they show it in the VT, but I can imagine Tess putting on her patronising babyish voice and making Dev and Diane feel even worse about it.

You think Tess will pass up an opportunity to put on her favourite Daily Mail Sad Face? It shows her RAAAAANGE!

Look how she lowers her voice to plumb the depths of the drama. See how she tilts her head to one side in faux concern. Wince as she clutches Diane's hand in her eagle talon vice grip of sincerity!

Cue Eastenders music & Tess full of faux concern & clutching hands in eagle talon vice grip of sincerity😂

Aw @GrouchyKiwi hope you feel better. Is Grouchypuppy up for a cuddle?

Can’t decide whether to record athletics or SCD.

Tess went to the same sympathy lessons as Davina Mccall it consists of, Aww bless head tilt blank stare handhold!

I've got an awful feeling someone's going to make a joke out of the incident.. possibly Bruno, he seems to lack tact sometimes.

Bruno does seem to get very tense about lifts, he was quite worried about Mike and Katya last week. I imagine he will express some relief once the routine is over.

Thanks for the new thread xsquared - once again place marking for a bit later . Have to tape the first bit and catch up .
I would love to join Schadens congregation . I have in our house the following ( none of which I can play with any expertise) - kalimba , nose flute , recorder, sleigh bells , castanets and agogo bells ....
Back later !

Evening all. We have just finished a curry and we're about to have glass of wine, This is a very rare event in our household, but we feel tonight may merit it.

If Diane's not fit, will Dev get a bye or get booted?

I've just seen pictures of the dancers in costumes.. and actually by the looks of them, they don't seem as bad as previous years.

I have good hopes for tonight! Apart from Anton & Mike..

Usually they get the spare pro in to stand in.

Dinner is five minutes away, iPad fully charged and wine is poured. I'm ready

Anton in that incredible suit

Love UP

Im not watching tonight will catch it tomorrow .

It seems I'm late - bollox

I thought it was 8.00. I'm still watching on the computer because MR Schaden is in Scotland slaughtering fish (hahahahaha - he's only caught about 5 in the 40 years we've been married!).

Can't work out how to catch it up in real time.
