I agree that there needs to be a shake up at SCD Glitterball Towers, this series has highlighted the issues with the format that have been glossed over before.
where are the ballroom dances this year? Sick to the back teeth of jives and Charlestons.
I would agree, and I also think that everyone should have to alternate ballroom and Latin every week so nobody can avoid dances they dont like.
the judging panel needs to go back to basics in looking at technique and scoring appropriately. Only Craig has any integrity and he should be Head Judge.
Agreed - I wish they'd go back to everyone doing the same few dances each show because we could then have real technical critique. They could even do a choreography corner style VT at the start of the show, showing us a few key steps/moves of the dance that the judges will be looking out for, so we get to learn about the dances too.
They also need to stop with the pantomime booing of Craig, he is the only judge I want to listen to as he provides critique aand constructive feedback
The selection of Motsi to replace Darcey is unfathomable. I can barely understand a word she says, but she is loud and hysterical.
I wouldnt mind if they relaced her with Anton next season, and I'm fine if Bruno stays in LA too.
Tess to go. She’s had an amazing run given how bad she is at presenting, it’s amateur hour every week and the partnership with Claudia is tired.
But what are they going to do with all the one armed costumes they need to get rid of? Vicky Giggles wont have time to sew all of those arms back on to the outfits.
I do agree though, for the amount of time she has done the show she still seems stilted and unnatural as a presenter.
The music choices have been, mainly, abysmal. Please expand the repertoire from sub par pop songs and select music appropriate for each dance. Also be more fair about it. Some of the couples have been landed with awful music choices.
Songs need to be fit to the dances, not the other way around. And I would rather have a waltz done to a nice classical piece of music, in the correct tempo than trying to shoehorn the latest top 10 pop piece into it.
The singing needs to be improved.
I wonder if this is why they no longer introduce the singers by name, so we dont know who to blame.
They could quite easily showcase different performers every week rather than the same out of tune/key few people.
Like last night, they could easily have invited some West End performers to perform the songs from the musicals, considering they were highlighting the plight of the WE theatres and the performers who have been out of jobs for nearly a year.
The CGI engineer has been given too much free rein and the over emphasis on special effects is taking away from the dancing.
Srsly, that and the camera angles need to be stopped. I want to watch the couples dance, not be made dizzy by spinning cameras and cgi animals.
down with the sentimental family videos. These people are dancing, they are not putting their lives in danger
But how will we know how much to vote for someone if we dont know how proud their Nan's best friends neighbour's cat's cousin's postman is of them reaching week 2?!?!
