SCD 2019: the glitz and glamour that is Blackpool. STRICTLY NO SPOILERS!

Previous thread

Bloody hell I would never even look at a spoiler, let alone post one. Take all the fun out of watching tomorrow night's show? No thanks. Plus it's only a telly programme and not that important

Really enjoyed Blackpool but disappointed by Michelle.

One of the voguing videos down-thread was better than Michelle's version. I think that's why I was disappointed.

Johannes would have nailed the voguing.

Please please can we just pretend that the spoiler doesn’t even exist for the sake of this thread.

Even seeing the word really ruins my enjoyment of this thread.

What was that dance from Michelle and Giovanni? Wasn’t much dancing at one point she was sitting on a couch! She really squeezed the tears out too and dedicated it to just about everyone!
Loved Karim what a way to finish, spoiled by Craig not getting out the 10 paddle!
Loved Alex and Neil too and Oti and Kelvin, great show.

Now that Karim Portillo has finished, I've just rewatched a few things:

1. the strap was down from the get-go #StrapGate
2. Chris' dance was actually better second time around, he had done more dancing and better than I'd initially given credit for
3. Kelvin's dance was outstanding and probably the first this series which has made me say wow. Can't see how Karim scored the same

I voted for Chris. Three times.

I’m sorry to you die hard fans. But I love him and I do realise he won’t survive a dance off

@NumbersStation I am on the mend thank you. Severe anaemia after giving birth last weekend. Had to come back in for a blood transfusion. Strictly and mumsnet are keeping me company!

I didn't catch that Kelvin had flown Oti's Mum over for the show as a surprise. What a good guy.

Pack it in with all this spoiler talk, it's all a bit passive aggressive. Thread says no spoilers

I voted alex, chris and kelvin, hated the vogue stuff, and karimis too fast.
Wish i could warm to saffron as she is from my town, but I can't

@IDontDrinkTea
He has had two of mine and micheface got the other.

No, they aren’t the best dancers but at least I feel something when they dance

And I shall be staying away from the naughty threads

I’m now watching someone squirm a bit on bbc 2.

@Piggywaspushed yes I wonder whether they are going to do something different with the argentine tango this year? Someone normally has done one by now. Perhaps one week, they all have to do one?

I forgot to vote!

@LittleAndOften

Not good on the anaemia. Hope you and the little one are doing well apart from that.

What did you get? A joevarney or a janette?

I voted micheface twice and my other vote went to Chris, I loved M&G i thought it was spectacular really enjoyed tonight except for Aj and saffron they just bore me rigid but I suspect she will get into the final.

I’d love to see an Argentine tango week. I can’t see Anton doing it all sultry like though.

I wonder why it hasn’t been done yet?

I’m now watching someone squirm a bit on bbc 2.

It's painful isn't it?

I wonder who'll go first with the Argentine Tango. I hope it's not Emma and Anton if they get through.

Chemistry's an issue there.

Kelvin and Oti would KILL it

Alex, Emma and Karim here

Get well soon @LittleAndOften, and congrats on your baby - that you are even awake deserves a 👏.

Painful is not the word @Myimaginarycathasfleas

I think I’ve spotted a clanger but I’d have to rewatch.

There’s a lot to be said for a dignified silence

and quite a lot more said when waffling shite

Michelle has been my favourite all the way through but what a let down that was. I kept waiting for them to start dancing, but they never did. Lots of marching about, posing and armography but no actual dancing.

The band and singers sounded amazing tonight. Just goes to show what good acoustics can do.

Karim's a great dancer but I didn't think Karim's Charleston was all that. There have been much better and more memorable Charlestons. Kelvin's jive deserved to be ranked higher.

I loved Chris tonight so he got 2 votes and Kelvin got 1. Coming in as a non dancer I think Chris has improved the most and agree with pp who said that watching Chris's dance a second time he was even better.
