Previous thread.

As always, a reminder that this is a SPOILER-FREE THREAD, so please don't comment on the result before the result show.

Am old enough to have listened to Kate Bush in the 80s. God am so old!

He just stood still for the last minute or so.

Strictly come standing.

Choon for Molly

all the holidays are stolen from pagan holidays anyway..... Don't get the religious objections

I'm the same age as Kate Bush.

Agree with @chaosmaker

I love Argentine tango but I'm finding it hard to imagine chemistry between these two

I just don't like Molly but then I don't watch whatever fame show she was on

Nah, Hallowe'en is a big no no for many Christians. I think it must be quite difficult on SCD if you don't want to join in with a theme.

Wuthering Heights reminds me of our student union

I'm watching behind so have only just seen first dance

I do like Stormyze - saw him on Graham Norton and he was just so lovely - is it wrong that I'd like to hug him ?

James is Christian

Could have done Stray cat strut or Lovecats or Black cat with Amy in a catsuit. Cats are usually associated with witches, I know, but cats on their own would have been a reasonable compromise. Or spiders (Black widow).
I said the same about Halloween Lobsters.

Agree @chaosmaker and making a big objection to it seems a new thing I don't remember Light Nights or White Nights instead during my childhood and my religious school always had Hallowe'en disco

Probably. The tradition is about disguising yourself from bad spirits before the safety of all saints' day.

That does sound more exciting, actually.

Overhead lifts in a Tango. Really?

Very striking. So much better than last week's monstrosisty.

I liked that

That was very good.

OH just said I liked that. Passionate.

(yeah that”s your lot for tonight my friend 🤣)

I'm starting to mutter fuck off Shirley in the same way I mutter fuck of Gregg during masterchef

I loved that.

I thought some of those lifts looked really awkwardly done.

I think Molly's flappy costume stopped me from seeing her legs and hips. Fleur's was better.

That did very little for me. I thought her legs were a bit jelly at times and too many big lifts instead of lots more dancing.
