Last thread here.

The Glitterball gets ever closer!

Thank you for the Monkseal links each week. They really cheer me up.

FagashJackie · 03/12/2019 23:55

I think Chris could well get through. I'm not a voter, so I never mind who people vote for.

Am I the only one who likes Karim? My guys love him from cbbc. And I love Hacker.

I think they are all lovely now, I'm sad that it's finishing so soon.

And then what you want Christmas presents and everything.

If anyone can do more than a squaddie two step they are ringery to me Smile

Helen was another one who I couldn’t warm to. Same wide eyed mincing piffle as someone else wide eyed.

Danny Mac and Oti dancing to Misty Blue. Just wow. Sorry I really tried to link it but I couldn't. I hope you can find it.

NumbersStation · 04/12/2019 00:08

@FagashJackie

I’m guessing Karim comes across differently in his bbc cupboard? I can’t warm to him all. Confused

I don’t do hacker either. He’s in Roland rat territory for irritating to me.

I loved wee Gordon gopher. Must be an age thing. Blush

They're going to have to speed that waltz up a bit. That can't be more than 25 mpm (75 bpm). Competition waltz should be 28-30.

Numbers We must be a similar age. I also remember Gordon with affection. And Ed the Duck.

Theromanempire · 04/12/2019 05:13

fagash I say it often on these threads but Misty Blue is my all time favourite Strictly dance!

I am also waiting for confirmation that Kelvin is a ringer...I feel everyone assumes it because he was a child star but I've not seen any evidence of stage school attendance/previous dance experience?

Danny Mac and Oti dancing to Misty Blue. Just wow. Sorry I really tried to link it but I couldn't. I hope you can find it.

Yes!! That’s one of my all-time faves. Still gasp at the ending even though I know what’s coming

iklboodolphrednosedreindeer · 04/12/2019 07:53

FagashJackie - Misty Blue is my favourite dance ever.

Zoidbergonthehalfshell · 04/12/2019 08:37

Here you go - Danny and Oti's American Smooth to Misty Blue Smile

SchadenfreudePersonified · 04/12/2019 08:45

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

Same here - and hear all the snippy "neither of you should be here" comments.

I also remember Gordon with affection.

I liked Gordon, though he kept bad company.

For those who don't recall this squeaky star of stage and screen - a (very) short clip.

Aw Danny Mac really was robbed wasn't he
Amazing dancer

LittleAndOften · 04/12/2019 08:58

Oh what a treat that was, thank you for posting. This is why I'm quite happy for slebs with dance experience to take part - otherwise we'd have no moments like that.

Womenwotlunch · 04/12/2019 08:58

Just watched Danny and Oti dancing to Misty Blue. Absolutely beautiful.
Perfect partnership

Shmithecat2 · 04/12/2019 09:14

Catching up on ITT this morning. So lovely to see my original girl crush, Natalie Lowe on the sofa! 🙌

jillandhersprite · 04/12/2019 09:29

Love that Danny and Oti!
Was that Oti's first year? I can't really remember her before her pairing with Danny...

GrouchyKiwi · 04/12/2019 09:35

It was her second year, I think. She had the boxer (Anthony Ogogo?) in her first year and they didn't get very far. He had a shoulder injury.

covetingthepreciousthings · 04/12/2019 10:41

Is the Strictly final on Saturday 14th? Is this a week less than normal, I always thought it finished the weekend before Christmas which would be the 21st?

ppeatfruit · 04/12/2019 11:20

Natalie Low on ITT looked incredible BUT don't the medics say it's not a good idea to wear high high heels when you're more than 3 month preggers? I'm sure she removed them straight after appearing but there are a lot of idiots who might copy her and do their backs real damage.

ppeatfruit · 04/12/2019 11:24

No one on here of course !!!!!!!! Grin

I thought that Katya was over the top with her naked ambition ref. the botofogo record. But that A.J. Shock BLIMEY he's like a guided missile Shock

xsquared · 04/12/2019 11:34

AJ was very sour about the botogo record.

Giovanni is on tonight and he usually does very well in pro challenges.

ppeatfruit · 04/12/2019 11:37

Yaaay come on Joe Varney beat that little squirt !!!!! he'll do it with much more grace , even if he doesn't win Grin .

NumbersStation · 04/12/2019 12:24

If rumours are to be believed, Gordon’s companion was quite comfortable in where he might have been putting his hands.

Gordon? Not so much.

Aj is coming across like a knobbed off toddler every time I’ve seen him after he got the sequinned boot.

I hope Joe humps him in the challenge.

In an ideal world I’d like a ringer strictly and a squaddie two steppers strictly. With everyone having to do the same dances. And none of this pick and choosy stuff.

And possibly not to have Tess. Although I appreciate that may be a touch on the ambitious side.

Figgygal · 04/12/2019 12:29

This week is the semi-final so my assumption is that the final is the 14th and then the apprentice final will be the 15th sob sob
