Poor old Jody, that was even worse than last night.

2Rebecca · 15/10/2023 21:15

The right person went. Out last night so both shows this eve which is a good way to do it although can't vote. The right person went. Agree green Tess dress awful. The material was too thick for that style. What's with the one armed dress obsession anyway? Why is Claud so buttoned up?
Lauren is gorgeous. Annabel Amanda and Angela R would have got my votes

OrangesLemonsLimes · 15/10/2023 21:16

Tess would look good in a hospital gown, tbh. She is tall, slender, and pretty.

Tess, Claude and Shirl inspire me to stick to my healthy eating and exercise and not use peri as an excuse, because they’re all older than me (only a year in Claude’s case, but a year is a year!). And then along comes Angela R, the same age as my mother, but (I think) slightly lighter and significantly fitter than me.

It’s the end of Baby Loss Awareness Week @Piggywaspushed 🕯️Everyone lights a candle at 7pm for an hour, so the light travels round the world with the time zones

It was. He was limping, poor guy.

I noticed he was letting his good leg take the weight when he was stood talking to Tess, before the dance off. I’ve got a dodgy knee and do this when it’s playing up.
I liked him and he did try but it was his time to go.
His trousers were awful, it’s been mentioned already about the men’s trousers, they’ve been too short or too baggy or just badly cut. Jody’s were too short and generally baggy and his shirt was badly made, the front looked like the stitching was
puckered and the hem didn’t match up when it was buttoned (velcroed?) I’m a seamstress with experience in Men’s tailoring, the looseness about the crotch made it look like ferrets fighting to get out of a sack when Eddie was dancing.

Sorry if I’ve missed anyone saying this, but I feel they’ve got the wrong person styling Shirley this year. She usually looks amazing (and she’s still her awesome self) but her hair and outfits have not been up to the usual chief judge standard imo. Someone is letting her down.

MarkWithaC · 16/10/2023 10:26

A point from the last thread: 'You Don't have To...' IS in waltz 3/4 time, not 4/4. I think it sounded a bit odd because they weren't doing the Dusty S version.

Anyway, I quite liked Zara and until now I've found her forgettable. She's upped her game. Good for her.

I loved Krishnan and actually enjoyed the song! He's clearly an amateur but equally clearly has an affinity with music and moving to it. His speech about how much he loves Strictly was very moving.

Amanda is a quality performer but they were a bit twee this week. Her cha cha should be cheeky and fun though.

Adam was surprisingly good. Looked nice in his proper tail-suit too.

I enjoyed Annabel. I do wish she'd really go for it though, as Shirley encouraged her to. I think she'd be a revelation.

Layton just bores me. Like Ashley Pussycat Doll. Yes, you're good, so what? But I heart Nikita.

Eddy is a bit rubbish really. I kind of like him and Karen together though. SHe does look so sad this series; is it definitely her husband? Come to think of it, she hasn't put anything on her Insta recently about him; there used to be loads, including an ongoing series about 'Teaching my husband how to dance'. I hope things get better for her and I really hope she doesn't leave; she's a wonderful dancer and seriously hot stuff. She looked beautiful this week, and very like Cyd Charisse, as a pp said.

Angela S was... forgettable. Not sure why as I usually enjoy her dancing. Maybe her routine was a bit insipid.

Don't like watching Bobby, I don't really know why but I feel like there's something a bit sulky or stroppy about him. I've never warmed to Diane either.

Enjoyed Angela R and cannot WAIT for her AT.

I feel like they've given Jody the worst dances for him. Why not give him a nice ballroom number? I will miss Jowita.

Minimammoth · 16/10/2023 12:32

I feel Leyton always over extends ( like a gymnast at the end of routine), and wish he’d leave off the girly make up. I loved the way Johannes did the same sex paring and choreo, but this is always ott.

EsmaCannonball · 16/10/2023 19:01

Can't Fight the Moonlight (what Zara is American Smoothing to) seems to lend itself more to a werewolf or vampire themed Hallowe'en tune.

Just seen ..Neil''s baby is called Havana .

Just seen ..Neil''s baby is called Havana .

Ooh na na…

Sorry! I wouldn’t have picked it but I kind of like it.

Choux · 16/10/2023 20:34

I read the baby's name was Cuba???

Choux · 16/10/2023 20:38

Nope I stand corrected. That'll teach me not to (skim) read the DM - I thought it was another country like Chyna's name (almost).

Angrycat2768 · 17/10/2023 09:06

Is this a recent girlfriend? Wasn't he with some young 20 something when he split with Katya?

Krishnan will be adorable to that song ( though over done). Adam will be even more insufferable.

Sunbird24 · 17/10/2023 13:37

Am not feeling the Charleston to Ladies’ Night, not at all!

xsquared · 17/10/2023 13:39

Angela R gets her dream dance. I just hope she does it justice, as I think it's too early for AT.

Zara gets another ballroom, so she should be safe with that. Not sure about the song choice though.

Layton gets a salsa so that will again play to his strengths, and give him another chance to "shake his booty" as he puts it. If they're not careful, all his dances will start to look similar, and they should really give him a ballroom to really show his versatility.

Krishnan and Lauren will be joyful in theor QS. He's just so happy to be there.

Don't like I just want to make love to you as a Foxtrot song, or any for that matter. Also a bit too soon after Michelle Visage did her AS with Giovanni to recyle it again.

Lentilweaver · 17/10/2023 13:44

Has Zara done any Latin?

I notice they are giving Angela R all the slower dances as well.

Zara did CCC in week 1 and Paso in week 3.

They're going to keep Angela R in for as long as possible, so I don't see her getting Salsa, Jive or Charleston in a hurry.

EsmaCannonball · 17/10/2023 14:01

I'm finding it hard to think of a less Charleston-like song than Ladies' Night. (Ok, maybe the entire back catalogue of Portishead.) I guess Day Varch will be doing a special orchestration of it.

The Lady Is A Tramp is overdone but at least it's a proper quickstep song. They'd better be a tail-suit and arm-hankies.

bizzey · 17/10/2023 14:08

Ohh looking forward to Krishnan doing that .
I didn't like his paso ...even though I still did vote for him !

But I can feel the joy and fun from that dance already !!

CaveMum · 17/10/2023 15:07

Layton and Nikita Salsa to Quimbara by Johnny Pacheco and Celia Cruz

Good lord, another genuine salsa track?! Which one of the producers is being blackmailed to get these in?!

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 17/10/2023 16:19

Hardly Charleston Music there for Annabelle
