Strictly '22 #10 — Can we have ballroom dancing theme week please?

A nice shiny new thread for a non-theme week week! Let's hope there are no invasions of haunted bees onto this one...

SPOILER-FREE THREAD

Love Molly's dress

But I love ❤ that dress.

Me too

I usually don't watch the VTs; I can see now why you all like Hamza and are annoyed by Molly.

Craig was the only one with a sensible score for Hamza, but he went a bit mad for Ellie’s score

Rumba is always dodgy but usually more so for the male slebs. Feel bad for Ellie but again, if you had that system where you took out the lowest and the highest scores...

Love Molly's dress

Molly's dress is sweet as

Just can’t take to these two. They’re my “put the kettle on” dancers.

Yawn.. sickly sweet

This is good but too treacly.

Carlos mouthing the words is distracting

Boring

Just shows I know nothing about dancing, even after all these years of watching Strictly! I liked Ellie's dance and I usually dislike the Rumba!

I felt sorry for Ellie, I thought she was really good, I don't like Molly & Carlos but too saccharine for me

Me too.

Well that was twee as fuck

Too much of the dance is out of hold. They should be deducted marks for that.

Moly and Carlos are good, Mollie is a natural , loved that but is it appealing to the public or just mediocre

Beautiful dance

Did he just spank her??

I really want to like her. She's young, and beautiful, and keen but I just don't feel it.

Not like Tilly who was, young and beautiful and keen, but some who's just joyous and I enjoyed watching.

Well, the scoring is nuts so far.

The marking is certainly almost scattergun adhering to no set baseline or criteria. They really need to do something. It is increasingly about a personality contest for the judges and not dance.

I saw that. Several pats on the bum
