Craig doesn’t want to be head judge.

I think they need to drop the couples’ choice and not allow the pros to drop dances like they did this year.

@Clawdy

Our shurl just reminded me of an older lady drinking with her mates on a train - getting more animated, letchy and loud with every glug of lambrini. Being in a Bruno and Motsi sandwich has not been a good thing for her.

Chuffed to bits for Kelvin. And Oti.

And a big cheer for the strictly floor.

Covered in feet skin and moisture off yet another contempowaft. All hail Tess though for cleaning the floor with her tongue, giving her all the cheese she needs for at least a series. What other excuse does she have for that sneaky peak gratin she was coming out with...

@SisterFarAway what you need is a VPN. It’s worth it anyway if you’re abroad and using your phone for tinterwebs. It provides security from people spying on your usage. I pay only for the time I’m away from home. Bonus is... it routes your activity through the UK so BBC thinks you’re in the UK and you can use the iPlayer. There are many to choose from, paid is more reliable and loads of user guides to help you set it up on your particular phone/laptop. Google VPN and have a read!

Just watched it. THRILLED with the result. Kelvin and Oti's showdance alone was worthy of the trophy. And I now think I fancy Oti even more than I fancy Kelvin.

Theromanempire · 15/12/2019 07:25

God, I imagine the series would have been quite dull without Kelvin in it as none of the others really excited me with their dancing - can't imagine Jamie would have been as good a dancer Confused

DoesntLeftoverTurkeySoupDragOn · 15/12/2019 07:26

I have no complaints about the show set up. I like most of the music, I don't mind Tess at all, I like Couple's Choice... I thought this series was lacklustre for some reason though. Possibly because the Also Rans were picked off in the wrong order.

It's an entertainment show first, a dance competition second (at least now it is - I've only watched it for about 4 seasons... since Abby Clancy). I think if you want staid judges with strong technical critique and standard music for the dances you probably don't want Strictly, you want a ballroom/Latin dancing competition. Has Strictly headed more towards the "entertainment" end of the spectrum since it started?

DoesntLeftoverTurkeySoupDragOn · 15/12/2019 07:27

I didn't really like Karim's jive. I recognise that it was great but it was too spiky for me.

DingDongSchadenfreudeOnHigh · 15/12/2019 07:37

Thank you for the interim report Jane

Looking forward to the full, no-holds-barred later on.

DingDongSchadenfreudeOnHigh · 15/12/2019 07:40

Please make Craig Head Judge, get rid of Tess and break away from the formulaic casting. Shut the audience up and give us appropriate music for each dance

What Starks says.

PLEASE!

DingDongSchadenfreudeOnHigh · 15/12/2019 07:43

It most certainly has Soup - and not for the better.

I don't know why they've shifted the focus, because it always got huge audience figures.

Bluffinwithmymuffin · 15/12/2019 07:46

for each dance.

This is so spot on - above - and how the majority of us feel about SCD, if enough of us re-post it, maybe the Strictly moles will take note. Maybe. We can but try.

BalloonSlayer · 15/12/2019 07:57

I was actually coming on to say: why is Shirley the Head Judge when it is Craig who is clearly the Head Judge? Everyone gave 10s to every dance last night, except Craig, so his marks were the only ones that counted.

covetingthepreciousthings · 15/12/2019 08:02

Also liked them playing We Are Family (I got all my sisters with me...) at the end and was hoping for a Motsi and Oti moment but didn't spot one. *

@EnidButton, after they were announced as winners, it planned out to the judges and Motsi was in tears, obviously very proud of her sister. Only moment I spotted, but thought it was sweet.

DasherDancefloorPrancerKitchen · 15/12/2019 08:04

There were a lot of goodbyes up thread but we still have Jane's report to come (thanks for the titbits so far).

I'm sticking around till the bitter end like the last guest at a house party who ends up sleeping over on the sofa, having breakfast and hanging around for half the day till they're sober enough to go home.

Ain't no party like a SCD morning after party.

WineOrGinOrBoth · 15/12/2019 08:09

In my view Craig’s comments & scores are the only ones that count.

And yes to shutting the audience up. I can’t stand how it’s gone all X factor like. Some of us don’t need sob stories.

DingDongSchadenfreudeOnHigh · 15/12/2019 08:20

Some of us don’t need sob stories.

Don't get me started on the journeeeees, and rolling out the Nanz and old headmasters . . .

Chris's sob story was theonly one worth listening to - he really treated it the way it deserved and shamelessly took the piss ("I had spots as a teenager . . . " Xmas Grin). More like this please, future contestants - perhaps we could have a MN award for the most hilarious/ ridiculous life story.

The "MumsNet Baron Munchausen Award for the Most Heartstring-Pulling Piffle"

Then we could have a proper NanzWarz as part of the journeee - perhaps the Nanz could be in "pairz" having a cup of tea in a Vair' Naice Tea Shoppe and have to have a "Mrs Doyle" type - "No, I'll pay" stand off. The winner goes into the next round and the finalists end up batting each other with handbags after tea at the Ritz. (Points awarded for insistence, originality of sandwich choices, and brutality - this could work, people)

Sparklybaublefest · 15/12/2019 08:36

just caught up and watched it,
agree, i couldnt really watch the rumba without concentrating on the Gorgeous Oti, i had to rewind to see Kelvin

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 15/12/2019 08:47

Checking in after returning from a spell on the ocean waves and no wifi. Gawd, I've missed EVERYTHING haven't I?

Looking forward to Jane's debrief on the final. If I can stay awake.

Loveislandaddict · 15/12/2019 09:23

I commented to my dh that Oti did all the dancing in the rumba. Kelvin was strong and masculine, and graceful, but Oti shone in it. She really is one of the best dancers in it.

I’d love to see a show with Oti, Ian, Johannes, alijaz, Pasha, Gorky, matthew in it. Must admit, not so:good at remembering the females.

Tenpenceabag · 15/12/2019 09:25

I don't feel Motsi has added anything apart from tears to the show. Darcy used to critique the dance and even if she made negative comments she would always give something to work on for next time.
Despite being a professional dancer Motsi is only 1 degree better than Alesha "be prouda yerself" Dixon.
People boo Craig but I'd rather hear his comments on what they did right or mainly wrong than "you really gave that 100%" or "you were really enjoying that". I could say shit like that and I don't have any dance experience.

wowfudge · 15/12/2019 09:37

I agree - Darcey was a million times better as a judge. I'm sick of the shrieking, shouting and hearing "you were on point" a thousand times. I want to know technically what was good and what wasn't. Motsi makes Bruno appear to have gravitas.

billysboy · 15/12/2019 09:38

I think Craig has took on head judge being the only one with something different to say , whether you agree with it or not

I get a bit sick of the audience whooping at every twirl and of all the faffing before some of the previous dances

Kelvin and Oti s Rumba was very moving

and can we please not have any ringers in next years series ( Karim )

Anton to retire
