SCD 2019: Who let the 10s out?

[GrouchyKiwi]

Ringers and dad dancers ahoy.

Could've done without the emotional manipulation.

Team pocketracket broke everybody

You'd have to have a heart of fucking stone not to be touched by that

How lovely that was

God - even I've got weepy and I'm a cold-hearted bitch!

Can't stand sympathy milking though. I wouldn't want it if I was on Strictly, making it through because people felt bad for my story

Aw

Yeah, I liked that so much more than I expected to.

He looks so much like his mother :)

If that doesn’t get 9s I will be shocked

I have tears streaming down my face

That was beautiful

Will & Jeanette

Oh, come on Craig . . .

. . .Oh thank heavens - some proper criticism.

I thought even Craig was going to melt (aka end of civilisation as we know it . . . )

It was seeing his mum at the end that set me off again (and I've had too much)

I really liked that as a piece of dance, quite aside from the story behind it. I'm not a fan of disabled contestants having to bring out a sob story (I suspect it's driven by the producers rather than the contestant) but I enjoyed the dance a lot.

Id much rather that genuine sympathy for something like Wills story then the falseness of Saffron and her Nan last week

Love Motsi

He shouldn't get high marks just for a touching story, though. But I think as contempowaft goes it certainly wasn't the worst I've ever seen.

He is quite nice-looking isn't he?

"Executive head teacher". What?

I really couldn't stand Karen when she first started but she's grown on me. I like her a lot now.

I agree Grey - when the Nans start getting wheeled out, my heart sinks.

@GrouchyKiwi

It's all this Academy Group nonsense isn't it?

I can't get into this at all

Yes Grey

I love Chris... not the best dancer of the lot but he's enjoying it and he puts on a bit of a show

Why did that need to be on the judges table instead of the regular dais?
