Last thread here.

The Glitterball gets ever closer!

I've just been indulging in some Harry Judd nostalgia. Can we just take a moment to appreciate his DEEP LUNGE. I've never seen another male sleb match it.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 02/12/2019 20:33

Thank you so much, Little - I enjoyed that.

But sadly it shows how very, very far we have fallen in terms of the standard of dance - content and technique.

Encyclo · 02/12/2019 20:37

Thanks for posting that, Aliona was such an incredible pro.

GarethSouthgatesWaistcoat · 02/12/2019 20:38

Harry and Aliona are my favourite Strictly partnership Grin

kazzaD66 · 02/12/2019 20:46

Their quickstep was fabulous. I liked Harry because he seemed like a genuine, down to earth bloke, who was also easy on the eye and a great dancer Smile

TitsInAbsentia · 02/12/2019 20:48

There have been some amazing ATs, Karim has a lot to live up to!

GarethSouthgatesWaistcoat · 02/12/2019 20:48

I never hear much mention of them - when people rave about the winners through the years!

MaggieFS · 02/12/2019 21:27

Speculating about bombshells, anyone else think Alex and Neil were pretty much sitting on top of each other on ITT?

kazzaD66 · 02/12/2019 21:48

She did look as if she was half sitting on him and he had his arm round her the whole time, and seemed to be running his hand up and down her arm a bit.
But I still can't see any attraction between the two of them Hmm

Piggywaspushed · 02/12/2019 21:49

schaden, if you're about, thought you'd be interested to know that my cat had proudly left a dead squirrel on my doorstep for me today...

I think the whole neighbourhood could hear me shrieking in my various attempts to dispose of it...

I am hoping this is not the beginning of a kitty Advent calendar.

Kitty Advent Calendar Grin

Alex is so nice isn't she? Very positive.

NumbersStation · 02/12/2019 22:14

I miss Len and his walnuts.

And I miss Arlene.

No fawning pish from them.

Do not miss the bustle woman or the muttley sounding co judge ms Dixon.

merryhouse · 02/12/2019 22:15

oooh I do appreciate Harry's deep lunge...

NumbersStation · 02/12/2019 22:15

And if Alex and Neil are wiping themselves on each other it will only be to take the heat off the real story.

NumbersStation · 02/12/2019 22:16

Aye. And the deep lunge was a treat for my weary peepers. Thanking you Wink

Bluffinwithmymuffin · 02/12/2019 22:27

Today 16:15 SchadenfreudePersonified

SO do I Nikita - and Arlene.

Oh, how I wish they’d beg Arlene to come back, preferably as head judge, and that she’d say yes.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 02/12/2019 22:37

I am hoping this is not the beginning of a kitty Advent calendar.

I'll keep my eyes peeled for our next Festive Offering, Piggy!

Frankly, I'd settle for a chocolate reindeer.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 02/12/2019 22:39

We have to hold on to our dreams Bluffin - without them there is only .
. . . chaos

. . . . . . . . . and Motsi.

LittleAndOften · 02/12/2019 22:40

Ooh I'm glad that was so well received. He is a beyootiful hooman, if a little too short to partner me *sigh.

NumbersStation · 02/12/2019 22:42

I want Arlene and Shirley.

And Motsi to stop her omniwaffle.

xsquared · 02/12/2019 22:43

I've enjoyed Alex and Neil's partnership and although I'm sad to see them go, but she left on a high.

I also mentioned Alex and Neil's body language on ITT a few weeks ago and did you see them with Claudia after they were safe from the dance off last week? If Alex was uncomfortable with him being tactile, then I don't think she'd have no problem in letting him know.

They are clearly fond of each other, going by their social media but for some reason, I still don't think they're a couple.

NumbersStation · 02/12/2019 22:46

No more a couple than I’m a size 8 @xsquared Grin

Bluffinwithmymuffin · 02/12/2019 23:00

I think Alex and Neil are just good mates and easy in each other’s company.

Emma and Anton, on the other hand, haven’t gelled, although I agree with some others - possibly the minority - that they don’t actually dislike each other.

I think Anton’s got SCD pro dancer fatigue... and wouldn’t be a bad replacement for Shirley on the panel (with Arlene there to keep him in check)

Wheresthebeach · 02/12/2019 23:16

Personally I can't stand Motsi apart from a lot of screaming I don’t think she adds much. I miss Darcy - if for a fab dresses if nothing else!

Anton has been wanting to make the move for a while now, seems a shame they won’t give him the chance. I think he’d be very similar to Bruce if he was to work with Tess. God knows Tess is wooden as a chair and it might be a good partnership.

Binglebong · 02/12/2019 23:29

I keep remembering how I used to hate Arlene fawning over the male celebs (in a way no one would over a female these days, although to be fair theres noone who fancies women on the panel now!). She can't compete now though.

I'd like karen Hardy. Yes, very enthusiastic but also honest, constructive and will say if she thinks it's not good.
