Previous thread here

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

OP posts:

Agree about Anton in danger of becoming a parody of himself. He did start well, was pleased for him finally getting his break as a judge - and frankly relieved not to watch him as a dancer anymore - but lately he seems to be more concerned with his own performance than giving a rational critique of the dances; nor does he know when to stop, blathering away when it’s obviously someone else’s time to speak. He needs to rein it in now, before he finds himself out of a job.

And again we have Tess commenting on the mistakes when the couples leave the floor... Hmm Think producers should present her with a copy of her job description, which must surely say introduce the dancers, look fab, pretend to find Claudia funny- and not much else.

I think I know who went but I don't know who they had to dance against so it might be spoilt but also not spoilt. Schrodinger's spoilered.

Tess and Claude may well have their own stylists so sorry VG but I genuinely have been a wee bit disappointed with the frocks this season.

Some have been wonderful. A lot have been shocking (to me anyway).

As for Claude’s shiny swishy mop?

I’ll not touch it. Promise. If couldn’t bear it if she was wailing somewhere on a style and beauty thread about her mullered barnet.

The too big shoes though? No promises there…

I hate the luvvie style am dram antics from the judges. That's why Craig is my favourite of the current lot and I liked Len and Darcy before. I can't be doing with screeching fawning and OTT attention seeking nonsense in adults. A mature demeanour does not mean you are boring judges. Toddlers aren't especially interesting

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 05/12/2021 18:24

And aye. It isn’t Tess’s job to comment on mistakes. Especially when she walked off after saying ‘keep dancing’ like a squaddie doing the Peter Kay walk to the dance floor after 10 pints and as many jäger bombs as they have fingers and toes.

iklboodolphrednosedpaindear · 05/12/2021 18:32

Anton really has become 'when I was dancing', 'I had some partners'. I might do a drinking game next week. And talk of his past, take a swig. Any weird 'ough, ooh, ahhh' noises - down in one.

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 05/12/2021 18:34

Loving your Christmas name Iklboo 🤗

I haven't seen the spoiler but I'm making personal guesses based on the reactions on this thread. I'll keep them to myself though! It will be interesting to see whether I'm right.

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 05/12/2021 18:39

I know who I think should be there purely on performance. We all know that won’t be the case!

To be fair John practically dropped Johannes on the floor. It would have been a bit weird for her not to mention it.

@MrsLargeEmbodied

i just glimpsed a spoiler from the Sun on my phone! goddangit
No! Just checking in and was about to start with "evening all, hope you've managed to avoid any dickyleaks!" I have, been doing housework all day (must tackle more frequntly in future!)
Romeiswheretheheartis · 05/12/2021 18:46

On the subject of Tess's frocks, I was walking through House of Fraser yesterday and saw she now has her own clothing range Hmm . I was amazed to see everything seemed to have two sleeves Grin

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 05/12/2021 18:48

I know it was hella obvious but she is there to support and present.

I just think it is unfair before the judges start their critique that she gets to put a tuppence in.

You didn’t hear the dancers shout ‘sack the juggler….’

I’m only shocked she didn’t go to Johannes ‘your little face when he clattered you on the floor’ 🤷‍♀️

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 05/12/2021 18:49

Rome 🤣

@ChessieFL

Vicky Gill has nothing to do with what Tess and Claudia wear, they have their own stylists.
Is that you Vicky? Grin

GrouchyKiwi · 05/12/2021 19:19

I have thankfully avoided spoilers, but I also sort of wish I had seen them. Am so nervous for AJ, and a bit worried about Rose & Rhys (who deserves to stay this week after that fabulous dance).

I too wish they'd put the results on Saturday nights.

Wolfcub · 05/12/2021 19:23

Evening all

AnneShirleysNewDress · 05/12/2021 19:23

Fingers crossed for AJ and Kai and Rose and Gio.

herecomesthsun · 05/12/2021 19:25

looks like they have silver pubes

ShirleyPhallus · 05/12/2021 19:25

Being reminded of all the z-listers in the opening credits makes me very glad that Greg Wise et Al have left and we are down to the good ones

AnneShirleysNewDress · 05/12/2021 19:25

Ajijaz 😍

GreenLunchBox · 05/12/2021 19:26

I can't imagine Nadiya dancing this

SpindlesWinterWhorl · 05/12/2021 19:26

Some memories of Hot Gossip drifting back here. Not necessarily in a good way.
