Page 7 | SCD 23 #15 Will Craig Find His 10 Paddle? NO SPOILERS

Very underwhelmed tonight.

Ellie and Vito were the only ones that really impressed me and I was actually surprised they didn’t score higher 🤷‍♀️

Annabelle did well too though.

It’s time for Layton to go. It’s the same stuff every week, no changes, no improvements, just him prancing around and trying to show off. I was really hoping they’d do a lovely, typical American Smooth tonight, the sort that Anton goes crazy for, but sadly not. I think they both know that if they did a stripped back dance it would show that Layton is lacking in skill and detail that a lot of the other dancers have. He doesn’t seem to be taking it seriously or being respectful of how much hard work and quality is needed for ballroom dancing.

The only couple worse than Layton and Nikita was Angela and Carlos! Their dance was so dull and Angela looked so stiff and unnatural. It was really uncomfortable to watch.

I think it will be Angela and Nigel in the dance off and Nigel will leave.

I did like JoJo in his outfit…. 😍

Voted Angela. Annabelle
and surprised myself by voting for Leyton.( voted for what I enjoyed
im not keen on the manipulative Cc’s
and definitely not keen on bare footed wafting.
hopefully Ellie is safe as loved her 💃 dance

BadgersBumChin · 25/11/2023 21:03

Yes the singers were their usual standard tonight 💩and another reason why I enjoyed Annabels paso so much - proper instrumental version of a powerful song just don’t ask me it’s title

concernedmumhelp · 25/11/2023 21:04

Voted for Annabel, Bobby and Ellie.

No one should ever be allowed to sing Kate Bushes work. It's sacrosanct.

The mood of Ellie's AT was completely lost with the ridiculous music choice.

And what in gods name were Nikkita and Layton dressed in. Are the so-called wardrobe dept taking the actual piss.

I agree, no one can sing like Kate Bush! I need to look up who Bobby was saying sung the song, I'm thinking it's Kate Bush!!

Piggywaspushed · 25/11/2023 21:08

Maxwell, apparently.

The only one I ever cried at was Will Bayley and Janette.

I got choked up for Rose & Gio, but more for the beauty of the dance and their connection. Will's story just really got to me.

Show quote history

Will was such a lovely guy.

Sam Ryder has done a very good version of This Mother's Work. Best copy I've heard after Kate.

BadgersBumChin · 25/11/2023 21:15

Every week I have high hopes for Nigel, but every week find him a tad disappointing/underwhelming. Is it just me? I thought his rumba was something and nothing tbh, seen it all before (not that I’m any kind of expert). Katya is such a good choreographer so maybe it’s down to a lack of chemistry? The other celebs seem to have much closer and tactile relationships with their partner

BadgersBumChin · 25/11/2023 21:18

Ooh, I love Sam Ryder - imagine him singing the songs every week, it’d be brilliant!🤩

Girlontherailreplacementbusservice · 25/11/2023 21:18

Hate bare feet, hate contempo wafting, hate air grabs, hate couples choice and I really, really, really hate emotional manipulation. I hope it's Bobby v Layton in the dance off.

So do I, but there'll be plenty of people sobbing and giving him a bump after being in the dance off last week.

He seems a nice enough lad but I don't care for the emotional manipulation either.

MrsDotCotton · 25/11/2023 20:32

I agree that Layton has not made much progress. The choreography has very much been tailored and adapted to support his existing strengths. Nikita was not as good tonight either.

Edited

Totally agree.

Loved Ellie, Annabel & Bobby so they had all my votes. Would love Jeff to do Strictly next year.

I don't think you need to be all over each other to show you have chemistry. I suspect that they're both cautious about being tactile because of the headlines the rags will create.

Rumba isn't really a wow dance, and I didn't expect theirs to be any different.

The problem is with referring to Jade is that unfortunately there was a load of bad press with her and the racism in Big brother. Sometimes things need to be left in the past.

From the very same newspapers that mocked Jade for her mixed race facial features. Bunch of hypocrites the papers are - especially back then.

I think Nigel and Bobby in the DO. I really didn't like Bobby's dance tonight, or the music, or the story, or the idea of the story- it was unnecessary and a bit if a gimmick. Mentioning Jade Goody is one thing, Annabelle mentions her husband. Interpreting the story in dance is quite another- awful. I think people will either get teary eyed or, like me, stoney-faced. Bobby could have shot himself in the foot with that.

I doubt it, the Facebook Lot are all “she’s resting with the angles and looking down on you so proud hun”

(Not the exact words, but the sentiment is there.)

I think regardless of the various shortcomings of Jade as a whole, a man who lost his mother at 4 should be allowed to remember her however he wishes.

DontBeAPrickDarren · 25/11/2023 21:53

I would imagine Bobby is aware of how complicated his mother’s life was.

I’d gladly see both the rumba and couple’s choice evicted from Strictly forever.

Ob god yes, absolutely I'd love to see them stop Couples Choice

True
but then the public who get to decide if they want to be manipulated or not

Whyarecouncilssoableist · 25/11/2023 21:56

I think its Nigel and Layton in DO.

Voted Ellie, Bobby and Annabel. I'm enjoying watching Annabels progress now.

@Samcro

I think voters have their camps now and no one will get swayed too much. It didn't make me vote Bobby and I don't feel manipulated

I couldn't agree more.

Absolutely.
