Previous thread here

I think it's a pretty good QF as QFs go.

Today 13:44 SheldonesqueTheBstard

Who is going to start the petition for Tess to have two sleeves every week?

Nobody. That would be a losing battle from the off. Never going to happen. Grin

FeedMeSantiago · 05/12/2021 14:24

Have managed to avoid the spoiler this week thankfully. I too wish they would do results on Saturday night to avoid this, especially towards the end when there's hardly anyone left.

I really hope Anton stays, he's much better than Bruno. It makes no sense to have Bruno flying between the US and the UK every week at the best of times, let alone in Covid times when he could easily be stuck in one country for a while.

I think Anton makes a good judge having been a pro on strictly beforehand.

I am sad that we haven't had a decent samba or salsa this year. Even last year's truncated Strictly had a decent samba ( Maisie).

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 05/12/2021 14:27

I am ever the optimist bluffin

If I win the sleeves, I’m coming for the fringe ✂️

Brace yourself Claude 👶🏽

Maireas · 05/12/2021 14:28

Yes, I would willingly sign the fringe petition

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 05/12/2021 14:30

Sorry - if maireas wins the sleeves. She is running with that sparkly baton.

Which is actually a condensed glitter ball. Previously sat on by yours truly 😁

I got spoilered. Will say no more on the subject, except to say this year seems much harder to avoid them than previous years.

Me too. Best to avoid any news outlets at all as all the fake “so and so spotted being upset after results show” is such a bloody spoiler

I think so. I never look at news feed, Twitter or papers on Sunday and have so far never been spoilered.

billysboy · 05/12/2021 15:45

They should just change the format so it is aired on Saturday night once they are down to the last 6 that would stop any spoilers

If Bruno comes back I will switch off , cant think of a worse person for the job unless Aleesha is on her way back

WeAreTheHeroes · 05/12/2021 15:48

I could bear Bruno, just, but didn't like that he seemed to wind Motsi up too. She's been better without him around. Aleesha was out of her depth in comparison with Arlene who knew what she was talking about.

Claymorekick · 05/12/2021 16:02

Not sure if I am a lone voice with this but I am not a fan of judge Anton Confused he started well but seems to have become a parody of himself as the series has gone on. Just talks about himself, has one critiique only about head position and makes random noises/head twitches rather than speak. I am finding him increasingly irritating!

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 05/12/2021 16:08

If Aleesha comes back with that ruddy muttley laugh, I will glue 2000 sequins to each eye and fill my ears with bugle beads and surgically attach my pointy finger to the fast forward button.

I liked her when she was dancing. She was practically the judging equivalent of ‘your little faaaaace’.

I’d have been spitting tulle if I’d have been Arlene.

OverByYer · 05/12/2021 16:39

I saw the Daily Fail spoiler too, serves me right for looking at their stupid website.

I really like Anton as a judge, he gives. good critique and advice about where the couples can improve.

Faevern · 05/12/2021 17:10

I’m just catching up OMG Rhys I’ve never thought they connected but that was just fab.

I think that he was great at the beginning , but he hasn’t been brilliant these past three weeks. Think that he should stay though

I think the scoring was generally quite all over the place whilst there were judges away, I don't think Anton was the worst culprit!

ChessieFL · 05/12/2021 17:26

Vicky Gill has nothing to do with what Tess and Claudia wear, they have their own stylists.

SmellyOldOwls · 05/12/2021 17:35

Just managed to watch last nights show, and immediately rewatched Rhys and Rose , both amazing routines, I'll be so annoyed if Rhys goes tonight after John dropping Johannes Confused

WhereAreWeNow · 05/12/2021 17:38

I prefer Anton to Bruno but I'm not a fan. It feels like he's trying too hard to channel Len.

And I love Claude's hair! Leave her fringe alone!

Bowednotbroken · 05/12/2021 17:53

Interesting interview with Rose in today's Sunday Times Culture section. She says - (hearing people) 'can hear where noise comes from. I don't have that. Also you can filter out background noise, which I can't. The noise is all in one and is indistinct.'

So maybe Shirley knew this which makes her remark more understandable?

(I'm reading the hard copy paper not online!)

the80sweregreat · 05/12/2021 17:59

I hope they leave Bruno on the sub bench . Anton is much better and he hasn't tried to fall off his chair , so far anyway !!
I like him

Tobogganist · 05/12/2021 18:01

Great thread title OP! Grin

MrsLargeEmbodied · 05/12/2021 18:01
