I want to see Karim v Kelvin in DO just so I can see the judges hyperventilate.

(I can copy and paste if you want for those that don't do links? but if I do do that then will bold music spoiler first)

Enthusiastic gushing with no content needs to be stopped. It ain’t strictly come Tena.

Genius.

BlokeRumba sounds a bit angsty/sad rumba as opposed to sexy passionate filth or elegant classy Brenda Saint Soph Virginrumba. I didn't know that song but it reminds me of Dido. Yes I spelt that correctly Wink Life for rent first verse.

MUSIC SPOILER

Tony Beak having to cha cha to Jess bloody Glynn.
Strictly likes her way too much. I think this was used for a group dance or launch show but have expunged it from my memory.

Think you are on the nose there.

I will wait to be wowed but I prefer me a filth one. No need for a Dido when it’s like that. (Didn’t spell it correctly) Grin

Looking forward to the paso, I love the White Stripes...on second thoughts not sure I want to hear what the singers do to the White Stripes...

MUSIC SPOILER

Dammit. What advert do I know this classical piano from?
Answers on a postcard please.

GruffaIoCrumble · 03/12/2019 21:38

Denise did hers to that I think biscuit It was good an' all.

The piano was used for Bournville chocolate Grin amongst other things.
Guess I better get something chocolately for Saturday!

Shimmy Jimmy did some good choreo lest we forget amidst his twuntery

chocolaty chocolatier chocolatiest Grin This is fun

Ah I miss Jim.

MUSIC SPOILERS

Tis fine til the girl (is it Lea?) kicks in then is so shrill I need cheese in my ears allo allo style. I like some glee but some is just Make It Stop.

Oti has good choices depending on the singing (!) as does Karim. Karim's are very crowdpleasing. Anton's are not to my taste (a slow whimsical look back at what could have been waltz? and Jess bloody Glynn) nor Karen's. If either had a say of course but Tony Beak does sometimes opt for classical.

iklboodolphrednosedreindeer · 03/12/2019 21:54

I am not a fan of Lea Michelle's voice (sorry).

GruffaIoCrumble · 03/12/2019 21:54

Ah sorry to Lea, it was dwts winner Amber.

GruffaIoCrumble · 03/12/2019 21:58

The clarsey Satie track is 'slow and painful' btw Grin

kazzaD66 · 03/12/2019 22:05

I don't want to see a Kelvin vs Karim dance off because I think the judges will save Karim....and I really don't like him and I want Kelvin to win.

Unfortunately, I think this is going to be the scenario this weekend, unless the vote falls completely away from Chris, which it must have done to a certain extent last weekend Hmm

xsquared · 03/12/2019 22:09

Has Strictly ever had a ringers' dance off though?

Bluffinwithmymuffin · 03/12/2019 22:27

Who was Pixie Lott up against in the DO when she went home in the semis circa 2013?

NumbersStation · 03/12/2019 22:35

Simon and Kristina?

Glad to see the back of pixie. She ground ma beans.

GruffaIoCrumble · 03/12/2019 23:17

RingerDanceOffs...if ringerdom based on stage school/pre exp

Zoe vs Patsy (if Zoe had secret lessons pre season)
Emma vs Louisa (ringer ringer chicken dinner)
Alesha vs Letitia
? RickyW vs Natalie (except Nat wasn't that great)
? Jimi vs Michelle (except Michelle wasn't that great for girlbander)
? Denise vs Nicky (except Nicky wasn't that great for boybander)
Simon vs Pixie (if LWMOB is ringer status, he also struggled)
Kellie vs Peter
Georgia vs Helen
?Aston vs Mollie (except Mollie wasn't that great for a girlbander)
?Chucky vs Lee (except Lee wasn't that great for a boybander)

Emma vs Karim would be interesting, can't see it happening though although acc to Monkseal Karim's dances (AT AS) are the most precarious based on dance style elimination stats. He got the good tunes though.

Karim vs Kelvin - the two stronger across the series - would be interesting and again, can't see it happening having seen the music but not necessarily ringer dance off as no-one has yet come up with a valid source for Kelvin's ringerdom?

GruffaIoCrumble · 03/12/2019 23:24

Simon vs Pixie reinstated, he was undermarked by Craig and struggled with the public vote but still ringery Wink

xsquared · 03/12/2019 23:41

I'm thinking more of the Alexandra Burke and Debbie McGee (2017), and Fashley (2018) calibre type dancers.

Mollie really wasn't that good and I expected her to be phenomenal when the series started.

I will admit however that I didn't start watching Strictly until Danny Mac's year. I think he was the only ringer in that year. Ore was good but not outstanding and naturally so.
