SCD '20 #5: The next thread in the caterpillar of dancing and chatting

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

Last thread

Gosh we're a chatty bunch!

I love Clara too. And Alijaz

My dream panel would be Craig, Ian Waite, Karen and I'm still thinking about the other one.
I also wish Zoe Ball presented instead of Tess. I love Zoe.

Natalie is a good shout.

I'd have guessed 28 for Nicola! She's older than me! (Definitely does NOT look older than I am.)

Clara & Aljaz's music sounds terrible. What they hell are they thinking?!

One thing I’m glad that no one has mentioned is Anton being a judge. It seems we can all agree he’d just be irritating on the panel

I’m going to be bold right here.

The farmer’s wife and smileynic for the dance off I think.

Although MEasie could be a contender. That is going to be one long gurn fest.

It is a blessing she isn’t with Tony of the beak.

I think James Jordan would make an excellent judge. His Twitter comments on the dances are very insightful, and generally constructive yet positive.

Motsi brings nothing to the show apart from noise and nonsense metaphors about pasta. What the hell were they thinking in casting her?

@Nosuchthingastoomuchcheese

Natalie is a good shout.

Natalie apparently LOVED The Simpsons dance on Saturday.

I'm pretty sure she'd basically just LOVE everything that everyone did, no matter how awful it was.

They ought to bring James Jordan or Brendan back to light a fire under the panel

Nat would definitely love everything, but she'd also give excellent feedback on how to do things better.

Oh yes, good shout on James Jordan or Brendan. A bit of friction within the panel wouldn’t be a bad thing.
I’d forgotten about Karen Hardie, she would be good old school strict.

Motsi has been a terrible choice and I think it shows more now there are only three of them. I wonder if Len watches it and thinks WTF?

Do we think Darcey buggered off after she had a season with Shirley?😂

Mr Jordan, Craig, Arlene, Shirl. (Or Karen)

That’d do me.

I think Baby Face could be ok, providing it isn't themed ridiculously. It was written in the 20s, so actually time-period appropriate for once.

And the actor who Julie Andrews was singing it to was a bit of a hottie...

Any other year they could have got Joanne Clifton in to explain how Clara should play Millie.

Here’s hoping polka

But with the styling so far, it wouldn’t surprise me to see some sort of suspect adult nursery thing.

It could and should be so much more. She’s worth it.

It also seems that Jamie is being protected from his poor footwork being exposed.

My first thought was that allocating him the samba was the reverse of protecting him. So many people seem to go out the week they do the samba.

My ideal panel would be Craig, Erin & Brendan. Craig can be Craig, Erin can give constructive feedback in a kinder way & Brendan can just sit there with his hair slicked back, one arm casually draped over the back of his chair & an open collar to his well-tailored suit... I see no need for a fourth judge if there's 3 competent ones.

You don't want to add Natalie, and have a fully antipodean panel?

Or Hayley Holt? She was from New Zealand as well. (Does anybody else remember Hayley Holt? She was a also a pro snowboarder or something else that sounds incompatible with being a pro ballroom dancer!)

I’m one of the three people in the UK who remember her! She’s a TV presenter now, apparently.

I don't know if this has been mentioned before.. but I've only just learnt that Nicola is 38!

REALLY?!?! That's actually unbelievable.

Blimey Fuzzy Peggy Spencer , that's a name from the distant past

Another blimey, did anyone see Natalya in ITT yesterday??? Talk about a beautiful airhead!!! she's the definition of one !!!! Those effin shoes!!!!!!! She was actually demonstrated foot work in fgs !!!!!!! I've seen it all now (words fail me)

@GarethSouthgatesWaistcoat

Yes, either would be great.

James Jordan is odious. Always on Twitter blapping on about 'political correctness gone mad' when someone gets criticised for saying something xenophobic/racist/otherwise patently unacceptable.

The problem with Motsi, who I like, is that she DOES say some constructive things but she gets excited, and the sense gets lost in her torrent of positivity . She always says something kind. Doesn't unsuccessfully hide the dagger like Shirley

Her dress sense is a bit ott.

Motsi is kind and I like her outrageous dresses. But she does go on.

We cross posted there Intermittent !!
