SCD '20 #6: Have no fear, Judge Anton's here!

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

I'm a bit worried we'll run out the other thread tonight, and it'll be too fast-paced for me to get a new one going during the show, so I'm getting prepared early!

Feel free to place mark or watch this thread, but head back to the previous thread for the moment, and we can move across later.

It could well be.🤣. Let’s hope they look happier on Saturday.

We're going to have a couple's choice every week aren't we?

My couples choice is sitting on the couch with a large glass of wine and a pizza while watching Strictly.

Zara dress...thank you.
Pawfive thank you for the kittens vote. I was afraid I was going to have to bring out the big guns...a whole orchestra of weeny ikkle hamsters playing Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony. With a guest gerbil on timpani.

fuzzyIt’s CUTEWARZ!!

Thanks for the music list SoupDragon

Based on the music looking forward to seeing Clara & Alijaz, Bill & Oti and
JJ & Amy

This is why I said it'd need to be a random selection for a public contestant - I have no sob story or cute animals! My 3yo is pretty cute though & she loves dancing with me so I could deffo drag her into it... How many extra points do I get for a cute dancing 3yo?

@PawFives

Fuzzy’s basket of kittens has won my vote!

I told you all I'd be the first out . . .

TODDLERWARZ now, eh?

There'll be tears before bedtime . . .

I'm looking forward to Bill and Oti dancing something more formal.

I'm hoping the CC has some bite about it like Bill's did, and isn't just a load of contempowaft sh*te (if it's Jamie, we are in with a chance of a bit of fun, I think - he doesn't look as though he go for wafting chiffon and misty moulds across the dance floor. I wish that Tess and Claud would introduce him as Baron von Biscuits, though)

It's a street dance I think? Sure Karen said that.

Aw. Gawd. Two words to make my heart sink "street dance".
More formal dancing. Less hair Bleach. Down with this sort of thing..

I don’t think we have ever seen a decent street dance, ever. I don’t think even the pros look any good at doing a street dance, it just always looks extra bouncy like they’re walking around like Mr Soft.

I saw on Jamie’s IG that it’s the Tommy / Lizzie combo again so we can assume a very similar routine to Bill / Oti and to Karen and Charles

I think I prefer street to contempowaft though. Only two contemporary ones I've rated were Caroline and pascha and janette and will.

Ranvir and Giovanni should be good (they're always using that song though).

Bill and Oti will be amazing, I can see it already.

JJ and Amy might be good; I can imagine him doing a good quickstep.

I like Jamie but am cringing at the thought of that song.

Bit trepidatious at Clara and Aljaz having to samba to That’s The Way I Like It.

Meh to the rest.

Janette and Will's couple's choice was rated well for the same reason as Nicola and Katya's - it told a story of triumph against adversity. If you don't have that (I'm looking at you, Viscount Mini Cheddars) then you'll have to make it zingy.

I can’t abide contempowaft

Street Dance is fine, if its done right it usually isn’t

Sorry but janette and will’s was just as bad as the other rubbish routines. The sentiment and story behind it was lovely. But the actual dance was really crap, technically. The only person who has ever done a decent one was Caroline Flack. Otherwise they just look like something two angsty pre-teens have made up in their bedroom to showcase in assembly about bullying.

Sorry to carry on the 'rumour' about Zoe being preggers or not but she has grown larger boobs too. (well it looked like it to me ).

Thanks for the list of couple's music Schady. CQ's char char WILL be interesting. She doesn't seem to move her centre at all, so I don't forecast much joy for her with it.

I really don’t think Zoe is pregnant, I think she’s just put in a bit of weight. I’ve put on weight and my boobs have also got bigger. As others have said it’s very unlikely at 50 and going through menopause.

Man puts on weight over lockdown: oh, he's out on weight
Woman puts on weight over lockdown: she's pregnant!

The only person who has ever done a decent one was Caroline Flack.

Did they have Couple's Choice when she was in it? I thought it came in later than that.

Good point @SoupDragon, it was their Showdance

I think there's probably little difference between the show dance and couples choice TBH.
