SCD '21 #18: Twice the dancers, twice the number of posts from MNers?

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

Previius thread

Hopefully not — two new threads in one show would be a bit ridiculous.

Polite reminder that this is a spoiler-free thread

I've actually enjoyed this year more than last year I think. There were more people I liked. And Kai

It's up now. Was nearly out of wine. Phew!

And it involved folk lying back with their legs flapping in the air

Jethro Tull, inventor of the seed drill. Surprisingly useful to know for pub quizzes!

Help. Just sat down to watch and it's not on iPlayer yet. Any ideas?!

It's live, so not a pre-recorded programme that can just be uploaded immediately I imagine.

Rory haven’t read anyone posts (wil enjoy doing later!) but need type as no one else in my home watches. Half way. Watched all first dances. I loved them. Sorry Rhys but even though you were genuinely amazing the other 3 has a big edge on you for me with first dances. Loved AJ. Beautiful classic she is so nice (and Kai ain’t too bad ) John omg amazing I never like contemp whaf but I cried when they were way big the audience videos. Lovely man. He’s so nice. Johannes so emotional for that dance too. Meant to much to them both. Then Rose. Lovely beautiful dance. I cracked up at the smelly breath thing. She’s so funny and so takes mickey out of JV rather than swoon over him (like other partners and me ) Love that about her. She’s found a great balance.

So first dances only watched and although I’m (sorry again Rhys!) clear who the 3 finalists should be I am confused over who I want to win. I think I’d be delighted with any of them. I did vote for AJ prior to viewing because I love her and wasn’t as sure she has a big backing for this week so hope she’s goes through.

Odd to watch the rest. Sorry for butting in but I’ll look forward to reading everyone’s thoughts and comments later. This thread is A-M-A-ZING. I literally know no one in RL who watches that I can get chatting about this too so I’ve loved this thread this season (Ben if I mostly watch on catch up due to dc bedtimes etc) thanks all

I wish John had done his couple's choice a few weeks ago. It wasn't a fair comparison against the rest of the dances, but what I liked about it was the change of dynamic and countering the way he's felt stuck in recent weeks and I think it would have helped with his style in future dances.

Rhys does seem to have suddenly clicked in the past couple of weeks.

I hope AJ and Rose go through they've had two strong dances tonight and good development as they've gone through.

I would have used my 3rd vote on Rhys but DS was keen for me to vote for John.

Yet, surprisingly dull for yr9 History lesson on a Friday afternoon. Weird.

And prog rockers whose flautist stood on one leg (also useful in a pub quiz).

So many types sorry. Wish had edit button or had drank leas wine

I wish I’d have loved JnJs dances as much as I loved their VT.

That was touching and beautiful. And I cried at that.

And I forgot to say that Motsi looks bloody banging tonight.

@Romeiswheretheheartis

That was good - but not as spectacular as his AT with Debbie Magee.

I agree with this. Debbie grated on me for some reason but I loved their AT

Going against most other people on here tonight but I loved J&J jive. Was the first time I had my eyes totally on John during a dance

I was behind watching to tonight, so didn't get a change to vote.

AJ and Rose smashed it for me. I though John was the weakest tonight, but think he might scrape through in a DO against Rhys. I would like to see J&J's Paso again as that was brilliant, still stands out to me, even though it was a week 3 dance. Not sure any other dances from them were hugely memorable for me though, same with AT for Rhys.

Very excited about the final if Rose and AJ get through. Want to see AJ's Charleston and CC again if she gets to the final. Not sure about Rose yet, as all her dances have been pretty good. Her Titanic and Alicia Keys dances stood out for me. Am I missing any other good ones? Remind me.

If you want Prog Rock?

Ladies and gents I give you this.

You are welcome.

It is almost as banging as Morsi’s hair.

And don’t tell me that wouldn’t be fabulous on Strictly. 😍

This too

more Focus

Have to say I found the music odd this week, rhys choice seemed odd and the coldplay for ajive was weird

I worry that if it's an AJ/Rose/John final John will win, not because he's a better dancer but because AJ and Rose will split the vote and that, coupled with the "gay vote" will let John in for the win .

I find J&J very boring. Their first couple of dances were great; since then it's been more of the same - mirror and side by side samey stuff, with Johannes outdancing John and John looking rather stiff.

I want Rose to win, I have from the start, but I'm expecting her to be robbed.

Can't remember if I shared this before from one of my favourite films...

It's amazing!!!

Last one. promise.

Sheldon! My son loves this! He's in a Prog Rock band. It's our life!

I hope she won’t be robbed turquoise

Can some do the entire first (or indeed second) side of a concept album for their show dance? Twenty minutes in and still emoting barefoot in Nana's old net curtains.

You are my spirit family maireas

I adore this lot 😍

I am now imagining 20 minutes worth of skin on the dance floor.

And I’d go all Sophie Ellis B on that.

I’m not one for the feet.
