SCD 2019: Who let the 10s out?

[GrouchyKiwi]

Ringers and dad dancers ahoy.

Oh no. AJ looks like he's got a packet of half cooked Supernoodles on his head. Not my type but I'm old enough to be his gran mum. He seems a nice enough lad though.

I'm in Team Repulse when it comes to AJ. Like others, I can't quite put my finger on why, but I do find him creepy.

I’m not repulsed by AJ but am utterly baffled as to how anyone could fancy him, let alone want to lick him. He’s very nice but not very sexy at all, in a sort of Ken doll way

I'm with you @ShirleyPhallus re AJ. He reminds me of Ken. Very Shiny.

I too find AJ repulsive. I also find it really creepy how many older women(talking 50 plus) openly lust over him when looks so young, he looks barely an adult in fact.

It’s not team for or against AJ I have a problem with, just the use of the words creepy and repulsive to describe someone on a dancing show

I don't fancy him in the slightest (51 in case anyone's wondering), I just think he's a nice guy and always very kind to his partners.

He did so well with Lauren last year, and she wasn't the easiest to coax a performance out of.

Bluffinwithmymuffin, with respect, people on these threads can use words like that even if you don't like them.

And, with respect, she is entitled to say that she doesn't like the phrasing used.

I don't like it either. I find it OTT and off 🤷🏻‍♀️

I know. I’m just saying I find the hurling of pointless insults at harmless people we don’t even know unnecessary and distasteful.

SoupDragon, indeed. So we both get our say. There we go.

TBH a lot of threads about telly/celebs include insults; people aren't going to stop saying things just because another poster asks them to.

CRASHING ON as Claude might say, how well can any of you do on this quiz. I completed it but only after MANY tries

Well I'm 41 and fancy the pants off him!

I'm chuckling to myself, as my friends, and bf say all of this to me and I stick my fingers in my ears and enjoy my AJ crush

Just watching ITT on catch up and David is coming across so well. Really wish he hadn't gone and it was Mike or Will instead!

David was lovely on ITT. He completely hero-worships Nadiya. I think he would've been safe if he'd danced ballroom or a Tango instead of the bloody jive.

IMO Mike should've gone home. That stupid crowd pleaser deserved to be punished.

I wish Mike had gone instead of David too tbh... judges seem to have a history - albeit a recent one - of saving the wrong one.

Completely agree @Encyclo. The jive seems particularly cruel to have given him at this stage since he's so tall!

When are the order of the dances decided for each couple? Is it at the start of the season or is it decided on a week by week basis?

Really wish it was Strictly old school with pretty dresses and music and all the couples doing the same few dances, so that you could properly compare!

Karin has just done the bunny ears on ITT - does anyone know what that's about? I love Karin and Chris is now starting to grow on me, so hope he continues to do well. Would love to see him have a brilliant dance!

100Percent I got 147 of the 237, which is decent enough since I didn't watch the earlier series and I've apparently forgotten 80% of the contestants from season 9.

Bloody Jonnie Peacock's way of spelling his name made me miss out on one point.

I wonder if we will have guy-liner, evil Aljaz in the pro dance again this Halloween. I like him better when he's evil, I'm sure that says something bad about me.

Not sure that quiz is working properly for me - I can just type random christian names in and it automatically fills in anyone with that name so I don't have to pick the right pro and year

Yeah it helps like that @Theromanempire and still hard to win

Did Karen start doing the bunny ears thing after her Pokémon dance (her costume had ears on)?
