I think the singing on this series is the worst ever...I never thought I would say that as I have always thought it was awful...

Awrite · 12/10/2019 20:52

I voted 2 x Chris and once for David.

Kids loved Catherine, Alex and Karim.

SoupDragon · 12/10/2019 20:52

I voted twice for David as I'd love to see if he improves again next week and once for Alex as she was under marked.

PrincessScarlett · 12/10/2019 20:54

I also voted twice for David. David's face was just pure joy and he deserves a week off from the dance off.

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 12/10/2019 20:55

DS has now got a bit of a crush on Saffron. Hard to believe they are the same age. Makes you feel old when the contestants are the same age as your kids Grin

Grey7841 · 12/10/2019 20:55

I voted x2 for will and x1 for Chris as i loved this his friends had done

Horehound · 12/10/2019 20:57

David and will in dance off?

SubisYodrethwhenLarping · 12/10/2019 21:01

All our votes went to Will

covetingthepreciousthings · 12/10/2019 21:01

I loved Karims dance, but I just wish it had proper tango music. I think that let them down.

Samcro · 12/10/2019 21:05

Voted chris, david and the girl from scar borough

Horehound · 12/10/2019 21:07

I voted Alex, mike and Emma viscount

emilybrontescorsett · 12/10/2019 21:07

I voted Alex, Will and Michelle.
I thought Karin was excellent but don't think he needs my vote this week.

ThursdayLastWeek · 12/10/2019 21:12

Eeeevening all, I just got to the end of the show I think and here is what I think.

I will stop being so hard on Nadiya, they have real chemistry and there’s no denying his effort.

Contempowaft. No thanks.

I can’t take to Caterine and Johannes, there’s something so off moment about them,

I love Amy, and love seeing her dance I’m so glad she’s got someone half decent this year.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again I enjoy Katyas choreography. I thought her and Mike did a very enjoyable quickstep.

Love Joe Varney. Liked that dance.

Did not enjoy Dev and Dianne.

I’m still determined to like Alex but I’m concerned about the direction Neil’s strictly personality seems to be taking. I think it’s undermining their progress.

ThursdayLastWeek · 12/10/2019 21:14

And I think Amy much be a fucking genius to squeeze a tango out of that George Ezra song. FGS producers, give them a chance

Theromanempire · 12/10/2019 21:21

Wtf was the scoring tonight? How can Mike's quickstep possibly be on a par with Kelvin's rumba which was one of the best male rumbas we've seen?

Total bonkers and it was really pissing me off by the end!

100PercentThatBitch · 12/10/2019 21:25

I gave my "real" vote to Kelvin and back up votes to Emma and Chris as I fear they'll be overlooked

Will vs Alex in DO

covetingthepreciousthings · 12/10/2019 21:49

Seems to be lots of chatter about Katyas behaviour tonight.. even a thread on AIBU board!

ArseDarkly · 12/10/2019 21:51

Monkseal on Saffron - runs over to her nan and pokes her in the eye to get her to cry on camera, possibly. If she didn’t the cameraman possibly whacked her in the fact sprinting over to film it, so either way… Grin

I know you have to use all the tools at your disposal but, honestly, that was the most nauseatingly blatant roping-in of a family member to get more votes that i've ever seen on strictly

RageAgainstTheVendingMachine · 12/10/2019 21:58

grey I just watched that then youtube recommended me their wedding video. I have to say they look sooooooo loved up on it, it's adorable.

RageAgainstTheVendingMachine · 12/10/2019 23:08

Loved Chris's Elton routine.
Emma and Anton made me cry. If they could give Kelvin a 10 last week they could have given this a 10. It was beautiful.
Dev's red jumpsuit reminded me that Us would have been a good movie or halloween theme Grin Dull song. Forgettable routine.
Johannes was joyous. He outdanced Catherine again like in the samba (Craig spot on in his comments) and Catherine's charleston technique/lifts/gurn not the best but my God, they sold that. Beaming.
Alex should not be bottom of the leaderboard and if she goes it will be a travesty. Liked her stacatto bits, Neil seemed a bit smiley and coaching her(?) Not keen on theme (was it Kev's motorbike from last year?) but loved song. Undermarked compared with others ahem David cough.
David - overmarked. No idea what I wasn't seeing.
Kelvin - very good but I wish they weren't doing the exploding ovaries narrative - he's good because he's good.
Bless Aljaz - he's too cute. Jumps out like a mugger, uses steps instead of his usual bench for a sit down, uses wallography like a sex pest but the end bit was good. The Viscountess (just love them using her title every time) looked cute with crimped hair. Overmarked mind.
Michelle. What on Earth did she do to Vicky Giggles. Bad Cher indeed.
Overmarked even if they submitted before the end mess. I feel like I did when Louise was dressed as Carmen Miranda though and chuck her a sympathy point.
Will - not good but not his fault - his 6 from Craig not fair to Alex's 4 though.
Mike - I thought he was overmarked but having just watched it all over again just looking at his bottom half only, his footwork was nifty
That said the marking seems to be up, up, up as if they were getting more generous in a drinking game
Saffron - love the fact that she's normal sized lass but some of that looked like Snowdance. Overmarked.
Karim - initial headsnaps looked like crossing the road vair quickly. He had shit music bless and really did try to drive it but it reminded me of Ore's tango which went down badly. Amy though doing that when so sick. Fair play.
Famalam - taking boosts from kids, nans and nephews is the real comp this year BabyWarz NanWarz SisWarz ...drinking game!

Cannot call it tonight, marking too erratic.

Clawdy · 12/10/2019 23:10

Loved Emma and Anton's dance, for once she was fairly marked. Her skills as an actress came across, it was lovely.

ElspethFlashman · 12/10/2019 23:20

Quite suprised at how Emma and Antons VW affected this here old heart of stone. Particularly as Anton seemed as suprised as anybody to be similarly affected.

Chris for bottom two? Shame as I do enjoy his and Karen's blokey cheery friendship, but he was doing his best and it wasn't all that great. He's a nice lad with a good vibe and decent timing but he is reaching his limit.

Alex for bottom two also. Zero chemistry with Neil (though in fairness he seems about as sexy as a Ken doll) and she's not really letting go an transporting us. All too functional.

ElspethFlashman · 12/10/2019 23:24

So how much weight do we think Mike has lost!? I believe he's said a stone but it looks like more!

What

The.

Fuck

Katya.

DH said to me tonight "you know how sometimes you can imagine the male celb really wants to shag the dancer? Well Mike really REALLY doesn't want to shag Katya"

Poor Mike didn't know whether to hug her or call for a medic.

Samcro · 12/10/2019 23:28

i would love mIke to be in the DO i hate how he is being "backed on his tv show" and Safron(because she is not a celebrity but a spoilt brat) now that would make me lol.
sadly I think David will be in the DO sadly.(even though I voted for him)

InvisibleWomenMustBeRead · 12/10/2019 23:37

Enjoyed tonight's show but what's going on with the costumes? Where are all the beautiful elegant dresses?

I really enjoyed David and Nadiya so hoping they're not in the dance off. I'm hoping dance off is Will, Alex or Mike.

Katya is behaving very strangely - is she drinking or ill? Hoping Mike goes to put them out of their misery!!
