SCD '20 #2: First dances (and HRVY'S FRST DNC), but no hallowe'en

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

Last thread here.

I thought we might run out of space soon!

This I don't miss the clauditorium or the shrieking audience

Especially I don't miss the shrieking, it's so much pleasanter this year.

The " discarded pros" will just carry on watching, being the audience I assume, Then at the end, all cuddle as they're in a bubble aren't they?

Yes, they'll just have to restrain themselves from rushing in.

Good job Karim isn't doing it this year. He was always the first there I still remember how he leapt halfway across the dance floor to get to Kelvin and Oti before they'd even finished announcing them as the champions, only to be seemingly hauled back by someone just out of shot, so that K&O could celebrate together, without him dive bombing their moment

I'm guessing that the final dance after an elimination will have the surviving couples walking onto the floor distanced from the other couples. The celebs will most likely dramatically clasp one or both hands over their heart/diaphragm and have been practising a tragic sympathy expression in the bathroom mirror for this occasion. They will hug their pro partner to cop a feel for mutual support.

I thought the pros were now in a bubble with their celeb and no longer with each other, which they were to begin with in order to record all the group dances. I can't remember if those without celebs, Nadia, Neil etc, were there watching the live bit of the show from the side of the dancefloor or whether there is no need for them to go and so numbers on the Saturday are kept to a minimum and they can get on with their lives

Would it be explained on the BBC specific website? I haven't looked at it

@SequinsandStiIettos

The music on DWTS this week was worse than usual. Gleb and Artem are still in with a shout - routines on channel above - but neither worth posting. Derek Hough on the other hand...

That was AMAZING!

He was shameless wasn't he?

What a tart!

Tart is one word schaden
Although I could think of a few more

Accompanied by tears from Caroline one or two....

Sequins thank you for the link to the genius that is Derek Hough!! I've been back on you tube watching him and Nicole Schezinger I loved all their dances and had not seen them for a while, makes strictly look very pale in comparison!!

I think Janette had implants
So she has (according to tinternet just before series with Peter Andre). Maybe she was braless then - she seemed to have no cleavage. Not that it matters, I just didn't think she was worryingly thin was all.
Sheldonesque applauding you - every so often I have to look up campanologist and it always makes me
Nat is on chorography corner tonight but I am early so watching Scott and others play house of games. Wonder why Rufus Hound never did a full Strictly - maybe Xmas special put him off. Cannot ever unsee Scott as a crab.

Here we are then..this year's happy mascot! Meet Monkfish!

I think I preferred the penguins!

You are welcome - I like to watch DWTS highlights. Derek and Mark still my favourite ex pros. Derek is judging this series instead of Len but last night's theme ''Villains'' (in place of Halloween) was very weird indeed.
(week 7 - Freddy Kreuger, Bride of Chucky, Nurse Ratched, Carrie, Hannibal Lecter etc) Tis on youtube. Gleb did a Maleficent routine again but not a patch on Anita's.
Aw Natalie just won Babywarz!

That's one ugly mascot I like Zoe's glasses so much. Fair dos to CQ if the dress run had been awful - she must have been relieved. Bless, she is just super excited. Trad paso sounds good. now if we could just have one tango with proper music this year...

Loving Johannes on ITT!

Jamie Laing is very chatty 😂
Karen can hardly get a word in lol.

I've lost count of the number of times Zoe has said phenomenal. Looking forward to Rylan!

Jamie was hilarious. I want him to stay in now, just on the back of that interview

I need new specs. But I ain’t going to be able to rock them so spectacularly as Nat and Zo. Less glammy strictly belles - more reg holdsworth. It is what it is.

If I could get a ‘love you’ from Johannes I’d die a happy woman. The Yes would need to be from Artem. But that would have to be between me, him and some 15 year old elastic.

I’m looking forward to the lovely paso music. Hurrah. Love Johannes. I can’t help it. Love him 💓

Biscuits was Very funny. I am currently not loving his judginess on mic so he has a bit of winning over to do for me. But he really made me laugh so fair play.

Karen is properly gorgeous. And funny too. I didn’t warm to her years back when she was part of the gurning twins but I love her now.

I would look like a crab doing the smooth. I’m more crabby than Scott. Seriously. Not just dancey wise either.
🦀

And my raging prawn came out at Niggler and that advert. Sake. I have the proper jels when it comes to her beauty.

So I’ll bid ye adieu and will go away to drool over my mash and suck my pork and bramleys while fluttering my sparse eyelashes.

Not quite the same.

I’ll stick to being a crab.

I like Baron von Biscuits, he's funny and chatty and seems quite sweet. Johannes was a lot more relaxed than last year, maybe he's got more confident, he seemed so kind and thoughtful towards Caroline.

This week's dances and tunes (from strictly updates insta account)

Not really sold again.

Are decent songs not allowed any more? I’m just a bit meh.

Im hoping it is ok on the night but there is nothing I’m on the edge of my seat for.

Looking at next week's dances- how can You Are the Sunshine of my Life be quick enough for a quickstep?

Sohave I - and some other DWTS episodes, too - and you know what struck me?

They have music appropriate to the dance they are performing.

Nobody there trying to dance an American Smooth to tango music (or vice versa).

@theliverpoolone

Word on the street it is the pinky & perky version ...

Or at least it will sound like it by the time it is speeded up enough...
