Admittedly had a glass of wine but pmsl at this dance!
Strictly is about as far removed from the natural world as it's possible to be!
Sorry, but too much of a stretch for me.

At least there’s arm hankies in this bit

I don't think it is a problem. The laughing isn't mean laughing IMO. I think they all say how enjoyable it is to watch him and how he has thrown himself into it and is oozing joy.

I thought Tony seemed to be in actual physical pain - as though he'd pulled his back or something.

This is all very barefoot 'n worthy but dull as fuck.

Elderflower14 · 23/10/2022 18:52

We have a terrific thunderstorm going on here... Hope we don't lose our power!!!

GrouchyKiwi · 23/10/2022 18:53

That was not my favourite pro dance.

GrouchyKiwi · 23/10/2022 18:53

That was not my favourite pro dance.

I Agee it suffered from a common issue this week of the music is not danceable to

I remember LaMarschallin

I loved Come Dancing.

I smell wood polish, floor polish, hot netting and max factor powder when I think of it. Happy days.

I didn’t care for Fleur, Molly or Jayde dancing. The latter more so.

I’m unsure if it was just the dancing or the music (‘sake though) - it didn’t do it for me at all. It just felt a bit meh de deux.

I like that Tone and James are really trying and that makes me want them to stay.

Will 🥰 love that music though.

Im sure Victoria Wood would be happy for this to be Jayde’s swan song. (Rip genius woman 😢)

Let’s do it.

Let’s do it. Vote and get the woman gone.
Twas prancing, not dancing,
we clearly cannot blame the song.
Just rotten, I’ve gotten
An opinion inwhich words problys are verboten,
Let’s do it, let’s get her gooooooo-one.

LOL!!!

Jellykat · 23/10/2022 18:55

Who do we think will be in the DO? James and Jayde possibly?

ShakeYourFeathers · 23/10/2022 18:56

I want Jayde and someone higher than her in the DO so that she gets booted off

it rhymed with belly and jelly. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I can’t say anything on here any more without someone having a pop.

It was supposed to be fun.

I give up. 😔

Here, @ArcaneWireless I've written a verse for you!

Just say it, please say it
Don’t let crazy wokeness grow
They’ve pretended to be offended,
On behalf of people they don’t know
Just joking, and hoping
That comedy can remain funny and thought provoking
Just say it, please say it toniiight!

ShakeYourFeathers · 23/10/2022 18:56

Oh poss off shirls if you had scored better then kym would have been higher

FuzzyPuffling · 23/10/2022 18:56

James and Kym, I reckon. Not that I approve.

Jellykat · 23/10/2022 18:56

maybe Molly (forgot about her unsurprisingly)

I won’t do it, can’t do it
I cannot get the rhythm right
Feet trailing, arms flailing
Ye really cannae polish shite
I’m lumpen, a bit stumpen
But you can get to feck with all of that nose bumpen
Get to it, let’s not do it to- naaaaaaiiiiiiiight.

Kudos!

I keep forgetting/muddling up Molly and Fleur. It's not that I don't like them, they just haven't... stuck out much for any reason!

FuzzyPuffling · 23/10/2022 18:58

I'm wrong there then!

KimberleyClark · 23/10/2022 18:58

Wahey?

LunaLoveFood · 23/10/2022 18:58

James looked genuinely surprised to get through.

iklboo · 23/10/2022 11:09

Here's another extra verse for Barry & Freda. Sorry, but it was torturous to watch.

I can't do it, can't do it
Who the fuck thought of this?
No swivel, such drivel
Folk will think I'm taking the piss
I'm shoddy, so ploddy
I've seen better dancing on an episode of Noddy
Don't do it, Jayde be gone toniiiiiiiiiiight'

And another - I'm singing them (somewhat tunelessly) to DH - he is impressed.

KimberleyClark · 23/10/2022 18:59

Wahey!!! re James I mean.

FuzzyPuffling · 23/10/2022 18:59

And a second wrong from me.
I'll get me coat...

MrsLargeEmbodied · 23/10/2022 18:59

Oh good for James and kim

GrouchyKiwi · 23/10/2022 18:59

Guess the public was annoyed with the judges and wanted to keep them in. Very pleased for Kym. Surprised by James staying, tbh.
