I found that stupidly hard and could not cope with the clock ticking down at all Blush

SequinsandStiIettos · 24/10/2021 15:50

I also missed out legends like Bloody Lulu!! Angry

JacquelineCarlyle · 24/10/2021 15:53

Rose was my favourite this week, closely followed by AJ and then surprisingly Tilly and Sara!

I hope the dance off is Rhys and Ugo - Rhys really is too excitable for me and Ugo looks injured still. I adore Oti but would prefer Ugo goes out by votes this week rather than having to retire next week through injury (as we've lost enough people that way!)

I, also, forgot Lulu Smile

@Bluffinwithmymuffin

I’m feeling a bit sorry for Adam now tbh. Rewatching last night’s show, he’s more a helpless pawn in Katya’s plan to win at all costs, it seems to me, rather than the (slight) show-off I suspected he was at the start. The way she jumps up and down, fist-pumping and screeching yessss! every time the judges make a positive remark about one of Adam’s steps... drives me up the wall.

If I was Adam I’d be looking for the ‘off’ switch. Was she always this irritating? It’s exhausting watching her.

I was excited when I heard Adam was taking part. I wasn't very happy when he was paired with Katya as I think he could have been so much better with another pro dancer.

I agree with feeling sorry for him. I honestly doubt that he is that happy with Katya and her dance ideas.

She has always annoyed me with the screeching and jumping up and down. She has choreographed good dances but often it just seems to be all about showing off.

MareofBeasttown · 24/10/2021 16:31

I used to really love Katya's clever choreography in her Ed Balls -Joe McFadden days.. Then the Sean Walsh thing happened, and she seems to have gone downhill since then.

Ellmau · 24/10/2021 16:35

Didn't Neil used to help her with her choreography?

MareofBeasttown · 24/10/2021 16:38

If that were indeed the case , surely he should have managed better choreo with Nina and Alex Scott?

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 24/10/2021 16:50

I got 135 mostly because I am slow and ran out of time.

WeAreTheHeroes · 24/10/2021 16:58

That Chris Parker clip is hilarious. He's worse than Quentin, who at least looks as though he's giving it a go despite being awful and really nervous. I didn't watch the first few series of SCD so clearly missed some "classic" performances.

I've stumbled across these videos with JV and Kai during lockdown. Blush Kai looks a lot younger here. The one I've linked to has Gorka in, but there seem to be others with different dancers.

k]][/quote] Fab, Kai has at least two other careers if he needs it. Seems like the three of them genuinely get on which is nice to see.

175 am slowly improving. Some names just aren't memorable. Charlotte Hawkins keeps escaping me and Charles Venn will always be Chucky to me!

SequinsandStiIettos · 24/10/2021 17:45

You're off to astonish the world with more feats of adequacy!

Cheeky bloody quiz calling me mediocre! Grin

BonnesVacances · 24/10/2021 18:04

@DeegeeDee They do look like they get on well. They must all know each other from the circuit. I wonder if they all helped Kai get the job on Strictly?

Kai is great at impressions. The other one with Gorka has him doing Shirley, Amy and Gorka.Grin

SequinsandStiIettos · 24/10/2021 18:12

202 Am not going to beat that.
Gio and I are not sympatico after all - I love pineapple on my pizza!
Kai can cook as well. Shame I could have birthed him! It's like Sheldon's Mum having a crush on Patrick Swayze before her husband points out he looks just like her son.
If anyone would like to link Kai doing impressions, I'd be grateful x

Here you go. They're good!
covetingthepreciousthings · 24/10/2021 18:17

Just popping in to say I love Kai and think he's the bestest thing ever. I've lost track of how many times I've re-watched his dance with Johannes on Youtube, it really was stunning

Have any pros won strictly in their first series with a partner? It would be a great accolade if Kai can manage it, AJ is fab, I think they're definitely final material.

SequinsandStiIettos · 24/10/2021 18:19

Thank you bonnes Flowers
Am going to listen to them with a brew and some Cake pre results show am prevaricating chores this afternoon

IReallyLikeCrows · 24/10/2021 18:20

@Thecurliestwurly

Does anyone think Katya may have took inspiration from Reeves and Mortimer for Adam's routine last night?

I think the producers have been a bit cruel on the men this year. Any man over a certain age is deemed to be a joke dancer and wears god awful costumes, and any younger guys with some muscle has to strip off and gyrate.

Thank you for this. I'm crying. They need to have someone dancing to It's a Kind of Magic and completely replicate every bit of this performance. I would seriously vote the fuck out of it.
SequinsandStiIettos · 24/10/2021 18:22

Aljaz with Abbey
Artem with Kara
Darren with Jill
Brenda and Spangles doesn't really count

God I cant even put a face to the name on Charlotte Hawkins

His Amy saying JJ was

IReallyLikeCrows · 24/10/2021 18:33

Wrt names. I think if you're pretty close to it but slightly different it's not the biggest of big deals unless you're all "Your foreign name is too hard to pronounce so even though I'm not a racist because some of my friend is black, I shall just make up a pronunciation of it."

I've said on another thread that I have an unusual name although it's not that difficult to pronounce. So, let's say for example people put another letter in there and basically call me a different name, well then I think "F you, you idiot" However, let's say my name starts with Kar and then an ee sound and someone calls me Kar-ee and then the end of my name. Correct. But some people might say Kree and then the end of my name. I don't sweat it because it's just fine. This happens and I'm fine with it. A bit of a different emphasis on a part of my name or on a part of any name is not a big bad thing.

I mean, if it is, then the fact that people say gee-o and not Joe should be an issue because after all why do we have to Anglicise an Italian name, but we do and there you go.

SequinsandStiIettos · 24/10/2021 18:39

She fitted Brenda's bill of tall, blonde and leggy and allowed him to live out his Top Gun Danger Zone fantasy...but ultimately, not that memorable and despite a GMTV fanbase(?) went out quite early. Also his defence of her to Shirley hastened his departure from the show by all accounts.

bad pot-stirrer and miami vice suit they went out on this iirc, not sure whether it was the flat-footedness, the faff at start and end or general mawkishness of theme and him asking her husband if he could propose or some other guff.
