I don’t know who Rhys is and he seems lovely but he does come across as straight out of stage school,

'In 2013, Stephenson joined the National Youth Theatre.' Yep.

WeAreTheHeroes · 24/10/2021 21:20

@iklboo

She's hardly the first professional to get a bit frisky with her celeb.

Kristina 'marriage wrecker' Rihanoff anyone?

Not fair to blame the single woman when her dance partner was a married man and father.
orangeautumnleaves · 24/10/2021 21:25

Have watched strictly for a few years now, but totally naive to what happens beyond what I see. From what some posters are saying here, the strictly team tell the girls what colour their hair should be. Really??

SequinsandStiIettos · 24/10/2021 21:26

Blimey. Even Abby Cohen seems more over it than us lot (she said in an interview recently she regretted calling K a fucking Russian dancer when stressed out) and their kids are thirteen now.

SequinsandStiIettos · 24/10/2021 21:30

They certainly used to - same as in the U.S - certainly, Aliona had to use hair dye and Jo Clifton. I think it's so we can tell the pros apart cos production think we are thick or blind. Sharna in the U.S also had flame red and poor Emma had one season as a harsh brunette.
Erin and Amy both had dyed darker tresses before going back to more natural colours. Now admittedly, I do find Whitney and Lindsay on DWTS very similar...they even take advantage of that by pairing up for trio dances, but on Strictly I am pretty sure I'd manage if Dianne and Nadija were blonde.

iklboo · 24/10/2021 21:31

@WeAreTheHeroes - very true. I'm sorry. They're equally to blame.

StormyCornishSeas · 24/10/2021 21:33

@FuzzyPuffling

Stormy because there are not many of us!
Ahh ok Grin there really isn't many of us x

I hope Nancy chills her beans next week. Rhys showed me tonight that he’s a good dancer and he listens. I can’t bear when the professionals are up talking with Claud shrieking and giving it the big teeth. Are they trying to disguise that they had a bad dance by giving it the big wows?

Katya and Nancy both guilty of this for me. Katya - Adam had a shocker for me. Absolute cringe fest. Like a stripper on Ladies Night at the Legion. However, I think he can do better. Move on and up. But please stop the wowsers face. It wasn’t wowsers. You are better than this.

Nancy - please stop the shrieking. He’s good. Rein him in a bit, stop the ninety miles an hour stuff. Yup you’re dainty but you don’t need to bounce up and down when you’re speaking to Claud. We see you. And hear you. But it’s about him. A bit about you, but mainly him.

Loved Rose and her frilled lizard. Grin Gio has her back all the way to the final. He lets her shine.

AJ and Kai make me melt. He lets her shine too.

I wonder how Shirley the Landlady’s head is today. She’ll be dying I bet Grin that video will be played on a loop on all her customers phones. She’ll be a legend on the walls of her own toilets bless her.

SequinsandStiIettos · 24/10/2021 21:39

James Jordan went one further and said one of the pros got a lawyer involved when told they HAD to dye their hair who's betting on Aliona getting lawyered up

SoupDragon · 24/10/2021 21:39

I wish they'd just let Dianne go back to her roots

You don't think she is flame red by her own choice?

thenightsky · 24/10/2021 21:40

Right decision tonight although Nancy irritates the hell out of me

Me too. What is about her though?

FitYeDaeinYeMadRadge · 24/10/2021 21:45

@SequinsandStiIettos I reckon they wanted Anton as a redhead Grin

TempleofZoom · 24/10/2021 21:46

I think the fallout post Katya and Seann was because there had never been an affair openly while the show was running .
Correct me if Im wrong here though, I cant even get Kevins sister name right today Grin

Hinted at usually wrongly but never actual evidence such as photos.
It was absolutely all over the press and Seann was vilified .
Katya not so much but I remember excruciating interviews that she and Neil did.

Seann was talking recently about how it ruined his life and career and he still takes medication.
Not sure what to think really ?

MissMarpleRocks · 24/10/2021 21:52

@thenightsky

Right decision tonight although Nancy irritates the hell out of me

Me too. What is about her though?

I think she’s just so hyper & shouty (?) & making herself centrestage without letting Rhys shine. Katya has become more shouty also & that’s annoying me as well. I think if Nancy toned it down a bit she’d do a bit more favours to Rhys, who I think is quite sweet.

GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal

Yeah, I think the finalists will be:

  • Rose and Giovanni
  • AJ and Kai
  • JJ and Johannes

With Rose and Giovanni to win.

That would be my dream final too, with Adam and Katya going out in the semis.

orangeautumnleaves · 24/10/2021 22:14

Interesting about the hair dye. Doesn't really sit comfortably with me tbh.

@FitYeDaeinYeMadRadge.

Excellent.

SequinsandStiIettos · 24/10/2021 22:41

I hope Rhys gets to do a paso with a vampire cape. He really wanted a cape, bless him, and he could take it off, turn it round and twirl the red bit theatrically.
Talking of Halloween, would a routine to PATD be too much to ask?

Every year, I compile a list of Halloween songs that have never been used in the UK. Every year I am disappointed. So, here we go again.
skeletons
Danse Macabre (by Camille Saint-Saëns)
This Is Halloween (from the Nightmare Before Christmas) Dan as Jack, just sayin'
werewolves
She Wolf (by Shakira)
Werewolves of London (by Warren Zevon)
Moon over Bourbon Street (by Sting)
spiders
Female of the Species (by Space)
Black widow (by Iggy Azalea)
devils
Devil In Disguise (by Elvis Presley)
That ole devil called love (by Alison Moyet)
vampires
Kill of the night (by Gin Wigmore)
Cry Little Sister (Lost boys)
My mistakes were made for you (by Last shadow puppets)
generic
Heads will Roll (by Yeah yeah yeahs)
People are strange (by the Doors)
cats
Black cat (by Janet Jackson) AJ in a catsuit missed a trick there
grim reaper/zombies
Don't Fear the reaper (the slow dark version from the Originals)
Maneater (by Hall & Oates)
alien/monsters
Men In Black (by Will Smith) - Samba cough J and J cough
Hedwig's Theme (by John Williams) Hairy Botter (Tom Fletcher)

There's a show there without the bloody time warp or monster mash, I swear to God.

The only one I don't mind being repeated is Right Red Hand.
I am also upset that Rob will not reprise Anton and Fiona's Jeepers Creepers (where do you get those peep show peepers) cos I had a mars bar riding on that Wink

SequinsandStiIettos · 24/10/2021 22:46

You don't think she is flame red by her own choice?
She might be now soupy Dragon because she is known for it, but I don't think she chose it back in 2017. Now it's her trademark, she#s kind of stuck with it like Sharna was; although I think she went a lighter orange in between series at one stage. Happy to be told I'm wrong though.

SequinsandStiIettos · 24/10/2021 22:58

AJ - Viennese
Judi - CCC?? with shoehorned Frankenstein theme
Rose - Tango
Sara - ''Cupples'' ' choice
Tom - Highway to Hell (devils then I guess) Tango? (BloodyLulu had it as a paso)

Over at Dig Spy, apparently Dangerous Woman (Ariana g) was cleared for Vick Hope and could be up for grabs.

gingercat02 · 24/10/2021 23:06

@FitYeDaeinYeMadRadge

Oh piss off Katya with your infernal posturing and faketyfake big smile.
Abso fecking lutely!
Luckytattie · 24/10/2021 23:07

What was my post deleted for?!

EvilRingahBitch · 24/10/2021 23:08

Good picks Sequins. Danse Macabre is the one which has always baffled me that they've never done it. Then they got Caroline Quentin on in a year with no Halloween! Do you think they're holding out for Alan Davies?

One slight correction - Moon Over Bourbon St is vampires not werewolves.

I'd like to see them have a stab at a jive to the Buffy theme song (Gemma and Aljaz did a Buffy themed jive to Ever Fallen In Love With Someone which was inspired casting TBF) - . Or fully geek out and do a Paso to Rest In Peace from the musical episode.
