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

Crikey I was hoping it's still the same thread. I love reading you lot after the night. That strap was a designer strap ; stupid and unnecessary

I actually felt Michele's tears. (she doesn't normally cry). Still didn't like her walk with wig and weak poses though, LOVED Joe

Neil and Alex were great. I thought that the backing dancers were well directed in all the dances in this Blackpool episode.
I liked Kelvin with the quiffed hair it suited him more than his own hair! He personifies a rocker\teddy boy . Twas a good jive to the RIGHT music!!!!! Brilliant Oti as usual..

I have a feeling Michelle totally dictated the nature of their couples choice and they will go out on it. Gio felt completely superfluous last night.

Yes Bruno took over from Brenda in doing the Halloween thank you speeches to costume and wardrobe. I like him. Not sure indispensable (thanks Bruno ) but he is usually fair to generous.
The very lovely hurije who comments under the line on Monkseal's blog and who is an ice skating fan posted this which is fabulous and a timely reminder that we have Donkeys on Ice to look forward to soon!

I hope they do a beautiful ballroom dance as tonight's opener.

They input their scores live into a little calculator type device on their desk, I remember the other week motsi was up n dancing so Craig kept reminding her to do it. I think it's so the announcer knows what to say.

Agree about Bruno, he gives constructive advice about shaping and hand movements but never comes across as being cruelike shirley or craig.

Agree about Bruno Rage He can be a BIT OTT but he seems a nice man.

Have to disagree about Bruno not saying cruel things. He can be the worst at this, takes his supposedly-funny comments too far and says some truly nasty things. Last year I was so shocked at some of the things he said; he's been better this year.

Golden Years - the divine Heath Ledger in A Knight's Tale?

That’s it! Thanks

Was out last night but caught up when I got home. The show goes quicker after several glasses of wine and g&ts and a fabulous meal

Kelvins jive was stand out dance of the week

Think Chris and maybe Michelle in the dance off. But could well be anyone. Because of the scoring was all over the place it was all pretty close

Tess' strap was annoying to watch let alone wear. Loved Claudia's PJs

Claudias PJs were bizarre but I sort of admire her for wearing them 🤣

Ah lovely filthy I like that movie very much. Played it for both my kids when they had to do about knights any excuse
the very lovely TOLBINC has posted said scene for you - when Bowie kicks in tis fabulous. I do like an unprompted dance scene. Did you see The Favourite?
See, had Gio or Michelle thought to pay homage to that too and added the lift or two they might have got higher marks

Evening all. Lovely opening pro dance.

Johann is a beautiful dancer

Just us two Red

When I'm famous and on strictly Blackpool will be my week. I'm from the north, I've been there loads of times since I was a child with my parents. I've got a photo of me and DS pretending to dance in the ballroom when he was a toddler. 10s all round for me.

That is a shock. I thought it would be Chris vs Michelle.

Yes Michelle’s routine was a copy of Madonna’s 1990 MTV award performance, Madonna’s was great, Michelle’s was awful, she can’t vogue to save her life.

Loved the opening dance!! Love it when each couple does the same.

I love Michelle and Gio but I am worried they're going. Not a great week.

I'd rather Michelle stayed but saffron was loads better.

Blimey it's quiet here! I thought you'd be buzzing!

They've never done a couples best bits before have they?

Please let Chris go next week
