Strictly '22 #15 Balls to the ⚽️. Its all about the Glitter Ball!

[xsquared]

Welcome to the shiny new thread.

One less day to wait for the next installment of Strictly!

I've just re-watched Molly's Charleston and Georgias and the choreography isn't similar at all really. All the lifts are different for a start. I think with a charleston they all can look similar as there are distinctive set moves.

Blimey, Paolo Nuttini has been used four times (thanks Monkseal)
Anita and Gleb
Richard Arnold and Erin
Ali and Brian
thrice for the above charlestons and also
Will and Janette QS
Only remembered Anita and even then...

that paulo nutin track used to be my ringtone!

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I thought they were very similar at first glance. But they weren’t. Some elements sure, but now I’ve watched back she made it her own.

I thought both couples upped their performance in the dance-off and saving Kym would have been justifiable too.

The dance-off is boring, predictable and, in the case of someone like Molly, cruel and feelbad. It would be kinder to straightforwardly eliminate someone and produce more filler, such as a pro couple demo dance.

Middle Cher was a dead ringer for Shirley Bassey.

I know there's a few issues with war and the economy and energy, but when I become world dictator I'm banning jukebox musicals on my first day.

Vito is gorgeous and adorable.

So, The Happy Mondays, maybe The Stone Roses and The Charlatans? Are we going to see Nancy shaking her maracas in a parka and a Cool As Fuck t-shirt? This is so my era.

Hamza struggles with dances where he has to act as a character.Charleston might be a dance too far. Wish he was doing a waltz or something

I did a side by side and only really noticed the grinding the arms in a circular motion (technical there, eh?!)
Jenny Thomas has choreoed Strictly Charlestons for 15 years. Her signature move is the hitchhike. I know it was deemed the dance of death this series, taking out Kaye, Jayde, James, and Ellie S but it is usually a popular number, deemed pretty safe: it must be so hard to keep them fresh.

Not at all unexpected

Molly and Fleur are definitely light on votes, leaving a Will Mellor win, (certainly final three) not outside the realms of possibility....

Here's this week's blog

FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS

I think it's because the set moves are so obvious.

one plus about Molly's is that she didn't have to do the "tea bagging" move like
Georgia did 😂

Hamza had paso and VW or trad waltz left. Paso also character driven/lots of shaping. I assume they are just playing to his strengths with the lifting doing the heavy lifting as it were.

Will will be in the final 3, but I think Hamza will win. I expect Fleur will beat out Molly and make it into the final. She will also get the West End roles.:)

I would like a Hamza win out of the 3 choices available certainly

I really wish they had kept kym
molly is going never win

I dont think Kym was never going to win either.

Molly was better in the judge's eyes and it's their call.

Ever, not never.

Dirty Dancing is on C5 right now for fans.

I still love it but when I watch it these days , my main thought is that Johnny is far too old for Baby and his cousin is a better match. Not such a good film, though, admittedly...

Just seen the Insta update, (I'd looked at the spoiler earlier) I think Kym was very gracious. (And I wondered how much a lot of the other slebs would have milked having their Dad in hospital which she didn't do)
Poor Molly. I've really warmed to her over the last couple of weeks and prefer her to Fleur. Surely all things being equal next week will be the big Molly-Fleur dance off?

Yep.
Baby's Daddy had a point. 😂
And he had heels. (Johnny not Daddy) <boak>
Still gorgeous though obvs.

Thought Kim would go, poor Molly she’s the dance off queen atm
Thought Fleur a bit rude asking Vito to sing like her as if she’s some sort of Celine Dion , she a bit too full of herself at times.

i thought so too , i didntn warm to fleur with that comment

C-c-c-c-call the cops!!! I'm kinda thrilled by the unlikely prospect of a Happy Mondays jig on SCD🥳

Right result based on the dances but would have preferred kym to continue another week

I know there's a few issues with war and the economy and energy, but when I become world dictator I'm banning jukebox musicals on my first day.

Can I vote for you now @EsmaCannonball , or do I have to wait until the end of the thread and get the bill-payers permission?
