Welcome to the shiny new thread.

I can’t warm to Carlos at all. Not sure what it is. The gurning doesn’t help though.

SequinsandStilettos · 02/12/2022 20:18

Who was the choreographer? Was it the usual Charleston one I linked to many threads ago? If so, she also did Gio and Georgia's. Is it plagiarism if you steal your own moves?!

Redcrayons · 02/12/2022 20:18

Evening all, don’t quite feel in the mood on a Friday night.
she was good, but I loved JV and Georgia’s version of the same dance a lot.

Remember AJ and Kai's Lulu from last year? Now THAT was a Charleston!

Agree. It was not in same league

awaynboilyurheid · 02/12/2022 20:18

Love the dancer with the short hair, think it’s Lauren so could only watch her instead of Molly! Thought the west end singers at the beginning were awful and I love a musical!

I thought it was a bit too elegant and not zany enough.

Show quote history

Yes I think you are right. Just a bit controlled and a bit "by numbers" like all her dances. No real passion. It will be overmarked. Shirley and Motsi are going to be insufferable this evening.

toomuchlaundry · 02/12/2022 20:19

Someone else choreographs the Charleston don’t they

ApolloandDaphne · 02/12/2022 20:19

I loved it.

It was decent but I've realised I might find everything a bit meh tonight because I've bruised my ribs and all down to my waist on my left hand side and my knees are battered so I'm in a bit of a "Whatever!" mood and sort of daring them to entertain me.

😧

How on earth did you manage that? I mean, I could do it opening a bag of crisps, but I'm clumsy as eff!

GrouchyKiwi · 02/12/2022 20:13

Choreo shamelessly copied from G&G's dance but not performed anywhere near as well.

Agree

LunaLoveFood · 02/12/2022 20:20

Hope this lion King is better than the Timone and Pumba dance from earlier in the series.

SequinsandStilettos · 02/12/2022 20:20

Jenny Thomas? Who also did AJ's lulu and Faye's goatherd?

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 02/12/2022 20:20

No @SequinsandStilettos it's a case of crossing your fingers and hoping nobody notices you've run out of ideas, but the Strictly die hards always will.

Same here. Don't like him

ThursdayLastWeek · 02/12/2022 20:20

Also I’m so happy it’s on Friday this week because I work tomorrow evening! This is like a little treat for me.

Even though it’s not the Eng match tomorrow I suspect the BBC doesn’t want to compete with itself ratings wise.

IReallyLikeCrows · 02/12/2022 20:20

littlbrowndog · 02/12/2022 20:17

oh crows. What happened ?

I "had a fall" on Tuesday banged both my knees and I think I must have twisted as I went down so my whole left side hurts and rather than get better it's got worse. Managed to get an emergency appointment with my GP today who's given me diazepam to go with the strong painkillers I already have on repeat prescription so I'm hoping my muscles will relax a bit and I won't want to murder my cat for thinking it's just fine and dandy to use my chest as a trampoline.

SequinsandStilettos · 02/12/2022 20:21

A Simba-Samba. In fairness, Hamza had never had death slot. Hope this is good!

Wolfcub · 02/12/2022 20:21

This music is not saying samba to me

Yes Jenny Thomas is the Strictly Charleston choreographer.

Not the right music for a samba. Hamza is good though.

Elderflower14 · 02/12/2022 20:22

Loving Hamza!!

TitsInAbsentia · 02/12/2022 20:22

She's dressed like she's off to play grizabella in cats after this....

Shirley's ovaries were on the dancefloor before they'd even danced a step. And Arch and his gang are moidering this..

SoupDragon · 02/12/2022 20:22

I like this , but the music is all wrong for a samba.

Emotionalsupportviper · 02/12/2022 20:22

Oooh - that's really nice!

Loved That!

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 02/12/2022 20:23

Would have been brilliant if the dance matched the music even slightly
