Strictly Christmas Thread...

[Elderflower14]

Now watching the Radio 1 day... He's very stiff!!

Wow, I would love that confidence!

I agree her outfit was awful

Mega cringe!

I think I just turned on Scorchio by mistake

I know he marmite on here but I do like Bruno

Yes, I certainly didn't think it was a treat.

Silver Fox + Purple Quality Street
He reminds me of Serhat from Eurovision
Molly and Carlos should have worn those outfits instead

They deserved that.

Merry Christmas, everyone. Hope you've all had a lovely day.

Happy New Year too.

Actually, I'd have been happy to see George win it.
Still, Nadiya and Gio looked happy for Kai.

Like Shirley's sparkly dress

Group Hug. See you all next year.
[channels Motsi] Love you people! x

Love a group hug 🤗

Ah there you all are. I loved the ridiculous rubbishness of Bruno

Bruno was hilarious, unintentionally of course. But Claudia plainly adores him, and I bet they have an absolute hoot in the BBC bar.
Loved George and think he should have won. Alexandra was too stage-school.
What did Nicola say about Gio, Sequins?

She wanted to strangle him!!!

Nah, she was praising of the show, but came across a bit like tonight.
I think it's safe to say, she wouldn't be up for a full run though!

"Gio is a great teacher. He's a perfectionist, as am I."
She continued: "The waltz is so technical and it's so different to anything I've ever done before. Like band dancing, where your audience is just at the front, you don't have to think about the technical element, like the neck position.
"I don't necessarily like the learning process because I lose concentration and Gio is very 'again, again, again.' But I was grateful because when I finally got to do the waltz I was prepared. I knew that I'd put the training in and I knew that I'd followed directions as much as I could."
"And as much as during the rehearsal process I might have wanted to strangle him, I was glad that I left the ballroom I thinking I did a good job of the waltz."
Nicola also said the whole experience was "magical" as she explained: "The whole show is magical, you just walk in and it's Strictly grotto, costumes everywhere." The Masked Singer UK star also said "props to the celebrities who do it for the three months" after seeing how hard they worked during her time in the studio.

I've just caught up. I wanted Gio to win but never mind.

Gio in that suit 😍
Let's hope Bruno doesn't bother flying back again- jeez what was that??

Oh gods. Bruno was like the boss getting up doing bad karaoke while drunk / on coke. Almost painful to watch.

Well that explains the frocks in the last series.

Giggles spunked the budget on the Christmas show.

I loved Bruno 😍

And I want the reindeer costumer. It’ll need some panels adding. Maybe about 8.

each side.

Yes the Christmas costumes were noticeably much much better than some of the crappy costumes for the series. Also the sets looked very lovely and Christmassy. As regards Bruno - don't really know what to make of that but I got the impression that the dancers went all out during his act. Maybe hoping for a slot in the Us?

I cringed at Bruno's awful singing.
I was pissed off with Shirley for being patronising to George.
Would like to see Rosie do a full series.

Och I don’t mind that he wasn’t a linnet.

He is hardly making on he is Andrea Bocelli. Just a bit of happy Christmas fluff 😊

Why did they partner George with Amy? She's much too tall. Diane or Nancy are shorter - or one of the two new girls.
I also thought she massively overdid her spray tan.

They always use who is not still in the main show so that ruled out Nancy as it was recorded on the 7th December. Amy went out Halloween so was available and is more known than the newbies. who still have to earn their stripes so to speak. But I would have given him to Dianne personally.
