Strictly '22 #14 — Craig's broken his duck! Who's next for a 40?

SPOILER-FREE THREAD

I want a VW to Oh What a Beautiful Morning from Oklahoma! Modern musicals don't have hummable tunes, and a wishy-washy song can be fatal on Strictly. Does anyone have the quickstep still to do? Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? from High Society would be a good one, and I don't think it's been used before.

I wore that same top Karen had on in her dance with Vito to Lidl. I now have to report to a police station every day and I'm up in court in January. Unless the local Gazette drops its claim that I deliberately speared an apricot danish with my nipple, I will be suing.

90% of the pros look far too geriatric for those kinds of opening routines.

I think with Hamza's couples choice and the music from the BBC 100 week having an Africa vibe (his penguin quick step to the wildlife theme), giving him another African themed piece of music from Lion King would be overkill.

Aww sorry to see Ellie go, she clearly enjoyed it and had a great friendship with Johannes, we are in tears here what a beautiful speech.

I would much rather have watched this pairing than Fleur but guess she is a better dancer.

Overkill seems to be a theme in itself this series 😂

I knew those Danishes should be individually wrapped 🤣

oh What A Beautiful Morning would be just lovely!

Room Where it Happened from Hamilton would make a good Charleston

One of my favourite musicals is/was Starlight Express and I don’t think they e ever done that on Strictly, have they?

Rock of ages saw Sid Owen leave week 3, way back in series 10. Him and Ola did a tango to Whitesnake. He had a bandana on iirc but still not as bad as the wigs Artem has had to wear Stateside. I hate heavy rock tangos or pasos though. Brian Conley had a paso to the darkness that was also cringe.

Starlight Express
I'd vote for Helen on heelies or rollerskates as a couple's choice tbf

The Farmer and the Cowman from Oklahoma! would make for a hoe-down themed Charleston. Sit Down You're Rocking the Boat from Guys and Dolls or All I Do Is Dream of You from Singin' In the Rain would work for Charlestons, too.

Bet poor Molly gets landed with something Disneyfied and vote-repelling.

Does anyone else think Jowita looked a bit upset this week? Not her usual exuberant self after the dance, during the judging or with Claudia. First time I'd seen her look anything other than upbeat.

Has anyone done Good Morning from Singing in the Rain as a Charleston?
For Movie week I'd love to see Running Wild from Some Like it Hot as a super fast Charleston or Jive but I'm not sure it's 90 seconds long. I Wanna Be Loved By You would be a great foxtrot.

Helpless from Hamilton would be a good Waltz I think (unless I can't count and it's actually a foxtrot)

I can see Hamza doing lovely ballroom as Henry Higgins..Does he have anything left that would fit I Could Have Danced All Night?

Vienese Waltz , would that fit

Has anyone done Good Morning from Singing in the Rain as a Charleston?
Dan and Nadiya

Burn from Hamilton would be a smokin hot rhumba.

Yes I know what you mean, hopefully back to her bubbly self next week

Wicked has some nice songs too

Though I preferred Susanna and Kev's QS to it, complete with sofa

Is there anything from Joseph you could dance as a Paso - using a technicolour dream cape?

I just hope there's nothing too cheesy, song or costume. Is that asking too much ?

I love Joseph, that would be ace

Ellie is probably happy she's gone before musicals week. Because she'd get the cheesey outfit

If Hamza has some ballroom left I'd actually have him dance to the beauty and the beast song (that's a musical now right?).

Oh yes, Kelvin and Oti did an American Smooth to the Gaston song from B&B

Kym was due to do couples choice this week so assuming she'll do that next week. We haven't had a CC from Will or Helen yet.
