SCD 21 #16 : Overmarked, Undermarked, Paddelling Free

[EineReiseDurchDieZeit]

Started because @PolkadotsAndMoonbeams doesn't seem to be around

As you were

Usual Terms And Conditions Apply

If sticking out bums is bad then I expect John to miss waltz and foxtrot

Oops, thanks @cordelia16 I was flitting between tabs on here and Wikipedia so surprised I only made one mistake

@SequinsandStiIettos see the correction for Rose & Gio - cancel Salsa, insert AT!

@CaveMum you did an amazing job with everyone's dances... thank you!

Depends. Gio is canny. Either he knows a little chemistry goes a long way and will AT or rumba it...or he knows Rose's delight and joy in being lifted and expressive face means a decent charleston. He's good at swivelling is Joe.

@SequinsandStiIettos

You are right cordelia, so this week an AS and semis the charleston and waltz maybe? Missing the rumba and AT entirely out of respect for Rose's boyfriend? seeing as the tabloids are wankers and showmance Gio every series.

I am crossing everything for them to get an American Smooth next week - think they need something romantic and floaty. Yes, it could then be the waltz and charleston for the week after (provided they get there!).

I agree they may leave out the rumba for Rose's sake, and she has already done the tango and paso doble, so perhaps on that basis they'll skip the AT for her.

Just had to rewatch Tilly and Niki and the levitating shirt again

I've just gone down an AT wormhole to watch Gio's with Faye, Ranvir and Debbie... just a joy to watch!!! I'd love to see him do another one but not sure that it would suit Rose - maybe I'm wrong... in fact I would be delighted to be wrong! We'll just have to wait and see

@Ellmau

Out last night so only watched on catchup today, so I didn’t dare post in case I got accused of seeing spoilers :) I would have predicted Tilly and Rhys in the dance-off, but I predicted that last week, and i’m Pretty confident Rhys will be in it again next week unless he gets top of the leaderboard. If Dan’s time has not run out, and i’m Not convinced it will have, it could be a shock next week.

Dan was a bit stiff, but everyone else was fairly even.

I'm sure no one will get told to not put on spoilers again..... (We are all grown ups on here )

@CaveMum

There are too many dances now for the couples to do all of them. Last Series was 9 weeks long but there are now 15 dances in the schedule, meaning each couple got to drop loads of dances (dances repeated in the Final so that doesn’t count) so it’s “easy” to drop a perceived harder dance. This Series will be, I think, 13 weeks inc the Final so there are 2 competitive weeks left before they repeat dances in the Final.

From my back of the napkin calculations (via Wikipedia), the current remaining couples have the following dances to choose from:

AJ & Kai - Quickstep, Tango, Rumba, Salsa and Cha Cha Cha
John & Johannes - Waltz, Foxtrot, Jive, Salsa and Couples Choice
Rose & Giovanni - Waltz, American Smooth, Rumba, Salsa and Charleston
Rhys & Nancy - Foxtrot, Tango, Argentine Tango, Rumba and Samba
Dan & Nadiya - Waltz, Tango, Argentine Tango, Samba and Salsa

On the basis that they usually, though not always, alternate ballroom/latin type dances Dan is up against it with a choice between Samba and Salsa, and Rhys could be undone by a Rumba.

I really hope AJ gets the quickstep next week. I still obsess over Danny Mac's beautiful quickstep, but I reckon AJ and Kai could match it for gorgeousness.

As someone who stresses about everything in life, I love his attitude and think he's so calm and collected that am actually really really beginning to like him.

@bonfireheart

And its a fair cop from Dan in all honesty. He has stood it better than most in the past.

I don't want to see him lift the Glitterball, but if the majority do - then so be it.

Tilly did very well and behaved beautifully in defeat.

@bonfireheart I agree, - I am always astonished to see people sending nasty messages to someone like those ones. What kind of mentality do you have o have to sit down and type that stuff to someone you've never met on a family entertainment show ?
Like I said in my PP Dan isn't my cup of tea in terms of dancing, but obviously he's bringing joy to a lot of people, and if people don;t like him then vote for the others (I suspect many of the complainers don't vote at all).

People get so wound up and take things so seriously, it's just light entertainment and will all be forgotten by January and people will surely wonder why they got so worked up over something so ephemeral.

"Gracious", "polite", "cheerful" and "grounded" sums Tilly up for me too @ilovesooty.

She struck me as someone who would do her best but it was not the be all and end all in her life - very measured and sensible.

I blame the parents!

I'd be happy if DD13 grows up to be like Tilly.

Also with rich and famous parents , I'm sure it must be tempting to spend your days partying and not having a proper job...rather than going on a dancing show, putting yourself through hours and hours of physical training, having people comment on your weight, allowing yourself to be judged...not easy.

...all while studying for a degree. Fair play to her. Her parents must be very proud.

Tilly seems to have a work ethic. While she has opportunities open to her that other young people don't have eg tv / you tube shows, uni with no money worries, even Strictly she seems to put the effort in and stick at things. Her siblings are the same so I think it must be instilled in them by their parents.

Not all rich families manage that with their children

I really hope AJ gets the quickstep next week
apparently Kai mentioned hips and rhythm on insta so QS would be semis. They might have cha cha week 11 and then rumba/QS week after ? Not likely to be salsa as John has his.

@Elderflower14

Dan was tagged in this video of Wilf and his friend Alice.. Maybe it helped 😉

love this

@OutwiththeOutCrowd

I’m pleased Rhys got through. I think he needs a more satisfying ending to his time on Strictly to boost his morale. I’d like him to go out on a high with praise from Craig ringing in his ears.

Plus a week without Tess treating him like he's four. I worry she thinks she is being kind and supportive. FYI Tess, you are not.

Tilly is famous in her own right - she's had a cookery show for children on CBBC for years. Sure, she got it because of her dad, but she's kept it because people like her presenting style.

What are the kids of famous people meant to do? Work in Tesco or take up the opportunities they're offered??

I was impressed by her grace, politeness and charm tbh. She's very unlike her father.

I've met Gordon Ramsay several times. He is actually gracious, polite and charming! I've met quite a few celebrities, and he is one of the nicest.
