SCD '20 #3: No Hallowe'en theme, but Gorka's new hair colour is scary enough!

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

Last thread here, but it was never going to last for tonight!

Just seen media photos of Jamie in bed with his gf on his birthday... Thought he was isolating??

The bubbles are the sleb and their partner plus the pro. So Bill and his wife plus Oti. Jamie and Sophie plus Karen etc
I think?

Bill was explaining how the bubble works on Graeme Norton last week. He and his wife are together and Oti is living on her own (and not at home with Marius) so that she can bubble with Bill. She isn't actually living at Chez Bailey

@PolkadotsAndMoonbeams yep that’s exactly what I thought (ex ballet / tap / jazz dancer and loooooong ago teacher here) but whoever peachy Aliajz’s bottom is, it seemed to be quite ducky on Saturday. Perhaps just the trousers!

Either the pro or the celeb needs to be living on their own to make the bubbles work. In Oti and Karen’s case it’s them, but Jacquie and Maisie were/are living on their own so that Anton/Gorka could see their DC.

I'll have to watch it again, paying closer attention to his bottom (for research purposes of course). I do remember that his ballroom does often have quite a bit of gapping, so it might actually be his fault.

Taking one for the team PolkaDots.

Good show!

They'd have been better off paso-ing to the Imperial March from Star Wars (Darth Vader's theme). I can't imagine a paso to the actual theme music!

I LOVE that they're using Zero To Hero! Hercules is such a fun film.

I’d have loved them to try a paso to Duel Of The Fates (known in our house as the Mushroom Stroganoff song). Bit musically ambitious for Jason though.

Do you? That song doesn't do it for me grouchy I've seen it used 4x by DWTS (QS/jive/singalong) and aside from seeing BVB in a toga skirt (with a charleston?) it's not a great prospect but I am just in a mood cos nobody is doing Sinnerman from Thomas Crown Affair, Shame, shame, shame from Pride or I see Fire hobbity theme.

Nicola, Clara and HRVY should have decent numbers (Janette's just doing Trolls again in a pointy hat, let's be honest).

I might feel consoled if they use Chris Cornell for the group Bond number. I also like The little things from the Wanted soundtrack, JJ would have made a great Ewan Mcgregor nerd and Amy could have pulled off a kick-ass Angelina (think maybe wrong tempo for a rock paso but no worse than last week's).
I do wonder how they choose each year - and why was Bill's Dr Doolittle last week, not this. And why does nobody want to do Men in Black? Had pinned my hopes on Nicola and Katya doing that but no. And no Bollywood from Ranvir.
I will have stopped sulking by Saturday.

Plus Maisie would be a better Anna than Elsa so could have done Love is an open door or first time in forever rather than the caterwauling into the unknown.

Marieas

Yep, the good old Strictly curse. I actually forgot all about the C word for a minute

Chilled
That’s what I thought too. I never know what to do with my own arms unless they’re folded!

With BVB's hair, they could have gone with an Eminem-themed street trainwreck to Lose Yourself.
Missed a trick there (yes, I do appear to be typecasting everyone. I am still sulking that Danny Mac wasn't Bond or Prince Eric).
I am also sulking that we have time and social distancing to paint Max and Diane minion yellow but ditched Halloween.
I am fickle today.

Danny Mac. Pure joy. Him and Oti - that samba!! They were such a great partnership, so enjoyable!

Sequins I'm just hoping Jamie is Philoctetes instead of Hercules.

Dream on grouchy, if they could bother to render a satyr we'd have Mr Tumnus somewhere He'll be Herc in a skirt. See below!

(2.03 before then is just footage of him being even more of a dick)

I think I've got very used to staying 2m apart from everybody, the couples on ITT look to be sitting basically on top of one other!

Sequins It's really terrible music for a quickstep, but the jive was cute. I think Karen could do it justice, but I guess we'll find it. I'd definitely prefer to see Jason in a Hercules outfit instead of Jamie.

Stand corrected, all my 3 votes are going to Jamie on Saturday.
a) zero to hero is a goddamn earworm
b) just catching up on it takes two and Jamie's interviews crack me up

Love Jason too grouchy just not warming to Luba, not sure why.
Neil should do choreo corner every week, he is fab.

Last time I had some physiotherapy the Australian physio declared loudly "You have a duck's arse". Mmmm thank you. Not.

Dammit. I need more votes. I want to give Ranvir some as well. Look out phone bill. She is amazing on 3am starts, just incredible. I am also shipping her and Joe Varney madly.
