Last thread here.

It's movie week everybody!

Grab your popcorn and get ready for such blockbusters as Caroline as Mama Rose, Jamie as Hercules, Max painted yellow, Jason with a lightsaber, and Dianne after fancying a change at the hairdressers!

(Only kidding Dianne Flowers)

I think he has the male equivalent of resting bitch face.

I’ve heard it said, or perhaps Bill said it himself, that he resembles a baffled spaniel.

Did anyone watch Gogglebox this week? Mary and Giles were watching Anton and Jackie start their dance and Mary absentmindedly asked, 'Is that the same sex couple?' Confused Grin

stillsomewhatsheldonesque · 08/11/2020 11:35

After a ruddy rotten night (fireworks finally stopped at 0100), I am here to add me tuppence. I haven’t read anything above because I want to watch it ‘live’ so apologies if I’ve repeated anything.

Pardon me mother but Aljaz would make a perfect filthy Bond. I would. Sorry Janette. This aud gal is old enough to be M. For mam.

Right. Am knuckling down.

Nicola and KatME

Nicola has just the most stunning smile. It makes her face beautiful to look at. I have a face like a Blobfish (mouth like a monkfish!) so appreciate beauty where I see it.

I think she looked a bit leaden and a tiny bit behind. The arm stuff wasn’t my bag but it was clever.

I do blame the costume a bit. It maybe made things liok worse than they were. She seemed to have the leftover material on her costume that was trimmed off Katya’s one. Only skin could have been tighter.

Ah - John Cleese! Loved the yawning! 🙂

MEasie and Pgorka

Rolling out the mumME card? Already. Jesus. Both look haaaaard work and hungrier for their 15 minutes than my old lab was for chips.

It was pretty and she did dance beautifully. But I felt feckall. Sorry.

I care not for that version. Now if they’d had a bank of bellRINGAZ that would have been more appropriate.

Oh and out wheels the family and the dog. Is the sister trying to make Betty the new Pudsey with the ‘huwwwooooo’? Gwooooodbaaaie.

CQ and Johannes

Oops you - we’ve gone a wee bit luvvie... not quite sure what the full name thing is. My last name is B’stard. Naturally.

Anyway. I liked it but I didn’t love it. I felt as though it was at about 50%. The face was giving it laldy. The body just seemed to be sat in the stalls, stuffing itself silly on popcorn and pick n mix.

She doesn’t seem to do constructive criticism terribly well does she? Just snap out of luvvie and start being livvie re the dance.

I agree with the sentiment re theatre peeps. Times must be hard down this road. Sad

Jason and waspeating Luba

I haven’t seen StarWars all the way through. I’ve seen snippets. And I love Yoda. My wrinkle twin.

If Nicola was leaden, then Jase was diesel. I didn’t feel that as a doble. I think Lube has done him a bit of a dis-service. It didn’t suit the music and seemed a bit off. It wasn’t his thang. Which is a bit of a shame because he seems like such a lovely chap. I do like folk who smile a lot. But I’m afraid I’m in the miserable looking bugger camp and couldn’t crack a smile for this one. Lube - you done did ya man wrong Missus.
I wonder if he’ll be having another shot at it - I think maybe so.

Jj and Ames

I don’t know if this was great but I bloody loved the simple gentleness of it all. And I watched it through misty eyes (not cataracts)

I thought it charming. And for me it is all about how I feel. It doesn’t have to be fantastically complicated and brilliant to make you feel something. I thought it quite beautiful. I know nowt about the dance but it made me feel. And for a battle hardened, weary, tired old soul who know all about raindrops keeping a falling? That takes something. Well done and thank you.

vowel thief and Janette

Rocking the gnome stuff again. Meh. I think they would have been more suited to Peter Pan and the Tinkerbell. (More so with the ringahness)

Danced well enough (no surprise there) but have no idea if it constituted a chaaaachaaaaachaaaa.

But could have done without the pelvic thrusts. He looks about 10. I felt dorty.

Ranvir and Jv

Lucky bugger getting in that Spitfire. I’ve cleaned them but I doubt it would have taken off with me in it.

She looked lovely though. And I enjoyed her dance very much. Very elegant and JV is bringing out the best in her. I think she is a contender. I really do. I didn’t get the same tug on the old ticker as the other one but I loved it all the same. I am hoping for her to get her spirits lifted and her Earth moved by JV. In every sense. He should be available on prescription.

Beauty and the Biscuits

Am waiting for someone to tweet that they have destroyed an architectural treasure...

Charleston and biscuits? It should work very well.

Sadly he looked too much like Jimmy feckin Savile for me to concentrate. Either that or Kate Jenner.

Craig said he had to hit the lines.

Aye. That and testosterone.

Al Bond and Clara Galore

Boulez vous couchez and the rest? Yes please. The skirt!!!!! Do they make that in ‘fat’ ?

Loved it. Yessuh.

Homey and Maaaaaarj

Crikey he has a beautiful farmlee.

But the moment and pretty grand routine, dare I say, was ruined at the sight of a damp gusset. Put it away lass.

He did well.

I’m wondering if he is going to show his testes next week for an encore.

Bill and Oti

Namaste Bill. Bloody love you.

You give me joy. Not in a gusset way. In the heart. His musicality was superb. Bang on the tuuuuuuunes.

I’d avoid the vowel thief. Jump aljaz. (Sorry again Janette) But I’d marry Bill. (If he was free Mrs Bill)

Final bound. He has to be.

Love him. That is all.

I did pause to shed my quiet tear at the Remembrance. Seemed even more poignant this year.

Until Priti rocked up and did her quiet bat people wreath laying.

My life.

stillsomewhatsheldonesque · 08/11/2020 11:36

Voulez. Michty me.

Samcro · 08/11/2020 11:38

I really wanted to like Nicola(as a dancer obviously I like her) but just can't.
we voted Jason, Clara and Bill.
Love biscuits dance as it was funny. thought breakfast lady was the best, but think she will be very safe.

Horehound · 08/11/2020 11:46

I think Jason and caroline will be in the dance off but it should be Jason and the first girl her name has just disappeared from my head...Katya's partner!

I really liked Maisie's dance.
I loved Jaimie and Karen actually, I thought it was fun!
Loved bill and oti too.

CounsellorTroi · 08/11/2020 11:47

Can’t bloody wait to see Bill doing a Charleston.

ThePinkGuitar · 08/11/2020 11:55

My god I cringed so much during that Simpsons dance it actually hurt awful so so awful- wtf was that?! I need to unsee that.
Ranvir was wonderful absolutely loved her dance tonight perfect and definitely a spark there.
Love Jason constantly happy and smiling but think he will go tonight sadly as he’s my man fancy although Gorka looking good with his new hair this series.

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 08/11/2020 11:57

Yes, I have the same problem with Nicola, I like her in the interviews and then the dancing is a bit flat, and not in an endearingly bad way, just a bit "meh".

(For whoever mentioned the heels, dancing in flats might feel less wobbly if you're not used to heels, but for Latin you want the weight on the balls of your feet, and you pelvis tilted back. Heels make you do that. Just for reference I've attached a picture of a man's Latin shoe, and a lady's practice shoe.)

Poor Clara - I think she will get lots of unnecessary picky comments from certain judges whilst they fawn over those much worse .
Her journey will be like that of Anita Rani, Alexandra Burke, Jameelia..

RockStarMartini · 08/11/2020 12:21

I’ve liked Nicola since the Olympics, she seems such a lovely person, but I don’t agree with her being able to pick and choose what she wears when nobody else has that advantage. It’s not helping her anyway, I really want to like her routines but they’re not great.

The Simpsons thing was ridiculous and the gnomes not much better - does Janette annoy the hell out of anyone else? Not sure how someone as fit gentle and lovely as Aljaz puts up with her, she’s so OTT.

Caroline is making too much of the luvvie stuff for someone who’s only known to your average viewer for being in a not that funny 90s sitcom, she’s hardly Dame Judi Dench! She seems petulant too and doesn’t take criticism well.

Maisie is a spoilt brat and I’m already sick of the sight of her pushy mum. HRVY by contrast seems really sweet. Both are pretty good.

I find Amy a bit sick making (although felt sorry for her when I read about her having Crohns Disease and how much if affects her) but she’s a million times more suited to JJ this year than she was to that irritating little git Karim. Very pretty girl too.

I love Oti and think her and Bill are great together, same goes for Aljaz and Clara. Ranvir was really good last night so definitely one to watch.

And like most other people I’m really liking the lack of fourth judge 🙊 although Motsi does a great job of talking shit in his place.

ilovecardigans · 08/11/2020 13:24

That was brilliant @stillsomewhatsheldonesque!

TheSmallClangerWhistlesAgain · 08/11/2020 13:32

It makes more sense to have an uneven number of judges. No tied scores.

JJ and Amy's dance was lovely and quite traditional. Aljaz needs to put together some more traditional choreography for Clara as I'm sure she can do the steps and it'll help her chances. Her dances have all tended towards disco and it's not showing off her ability properly.

Nicola is sweet but she's a rubbish dancer. If she can't wear heels then split-sole jazz shoes might help her get up on her toes, rather than the clunky-looking shoes she currently has, which look like tap shoes without the taps.

Maireas · 08/11/2020 13:34

Absolutely, Sheldon spot on.

Bluffinwithmymuffin · 08/11/2020 13:35

Beauty and the Biscuits

🤣🤣🤣

ilovecardigans · 08/11/2020 13:36

I have to say, I'm not missing Bruno one bit. Well, maybe in the sense that you would miss an angry, painful boil on the arse...

Maireas · 08/11/2020 13:38

Motsi seems to be channeling Bruno a bit, though.

stillsomewhatsheldonesque · 08/11/2020 13:43

She’s maybe eaten him maireas

Maireas · 08/11/2020 13:48

Sheldon - I just laughed so loud my son came to check on me!!!! You're a naughty, naughty person!! Grin

ilovecardigans · 08/11/2020 13:50

Motsi seems to be channeling Bruno a bit, though.

She’s maybe eaten him maireas

I'm crying! 🤣

ilovecardigans · 08/11/2020 13:51

But seriously... (composes self), yeah, she kind of is, @Maireas!

Maybe it's compulsory to have an annoying tit on the panel?

ThePinkGuitar · 08/11/2020 14:01

Agree about CQ getting a bit too luvie now I really liked her first couple of weeks but bit grating now.

Horehound · 08/11/2020 14:26

I usually dislike Janette but her pairing with HRVY suits her and I bloody loved the gnome dance actually!

stillsomewhatsheldonesque · 08/11/2020 14:27

I am naughty. Sorry. Blush. I also waffle shite when I’m on no sleep. See that belly grumble above 😬. In my head I’m giving a review - my fingers are typing something else.

I want to call myself stillsomewhatsheldonesqueb’stard in homage to the full name of CQ’s man. Why the full name? Is it a the-eaterrre thing?

Is she doing some kind of MM/Harold hustling thing to get him on the next Disney film? (Not movie if ye please. Film. Pronounced properly. fillum. )

Odd. Unless his name is really Samfarmer. And his last name Giles or summat.

Horehound · 08/11/2020 14:35

I didn't know Ashley and Giovanni split up. I liked them as a couple
