SCD 2019 *Still waiting for the big bombshell reveal...!

[Bluffinwithmymuffin]

New thread.... hope that’s okay

They're keeping voting open until 9

I don't see why Alex's sexuality should matter to anyone.

I don't see how this vote can be used if people have had more or fewer votes than permitted.

I seem to have voted 3 times for alex
So dh now has an account so i could vote for alex, chris and kelvin.

There’s nothing to stop people voting on line and by phone.

Whose business is it, Unique ?

Yes it's not anyone's business..

I think Kelvin was channeling a bit of Joss Gadd at times tonight

If Alex needs to announce she’s gay then I suppose all the other celebrities should announce their own sexual preferences too...or alternatively it makes absolutely no difference to how she dances or the person she is!

Big Emma and Anton following looking at Facebook,
I hadn’t realised they were so popular

There's no point keeping the voting open later if it's screwed up who people wanted to vote for.

I don't know if I've voted for the three I wanted to or not.

Karim looked like he had his Dads suit on, was quite distracting.

Just been catching up on the thread.
I think Karim meant to say "I'm amazed" rather than "amazing".

"Amazing" seems to be hugely in use these days and I think he just automatically said it, rather than "amazed".

Anyway, sorry: back to Votegate 😮

Well I didn’t manage to keep up with anything but I’ve watched now. Kelvin massively over marked for me. His characterisation didn’t impress me.

I really enjoyed Chris- I mean didn’t see any foxtrot particularly but very fun to watch.

I might do a spoiler thread this week to discuss possible vote controversy

I did watch back and Claude asked Karim how he felt and he said "I'm amazing" so I'll give him his due it just didn't come out as a complete sentance!

Really? Jeez.

I think Karim is clearly the best technical dancer ringer but I just don't get any real enjoyment from his dances. Kelvin, otoh, has personality and entertainment in his dances! I think it's that indefinable thing called charisma/presence (or whatever it is)!

I would rather watch Kelvin's jive again than Karim's.

I am genuinely fearful of them being in the dance off together.

Is Kelvin not a ringer? Don't know much about him.

clawdy it's all a bit vague but he was in Emmerdale from an early age so any stage school attendance would have been part time whereas Karim has admitted to attending Sylvia Young full time from the age of 11ish

Please don't.

If it's a separate thread you dont need to read it

I don't see how he can really be a ringer @Clawdy was cast in a soap very young, so any none school time will have been taken up with that doesn't leave much time for the level of commitment dance as a hobby expects

I don't like Amy.

I lost respect for Craig when he gave Karim the 10. Last week he pointed out exactly why he wasn't getting the 10 paddle up. This week Karim is the same, technically close to brilliant at times, but emotionally absent and lacking in personality. Craig should have given him a 9. He should have given Kelvin a 10 because what he pulled him up on was a figment of his imagination.

How crazy-eyed Emma got a 39 is beyond me.

Also, Bruno must have some sort of memory issue. Technically excellent jive but like nothing compared to quite a few in the past. Jay and Aliona's was probably my all-time favourite.

Are you sure his reply wasn't "Um, amazing!"? I don't think Karin would blow his own trumpet in such an obvious fashion!

Kelvin is not a ringer. His training is pure acting not dance or MT.

Very different to Karim the Sylvia Young kid.
