SCD 23 #16 Best Wishes Nigel But The Show Must Go On NO SPOILERS

[EineReiseDurchDieZeit]

KEEP DANCING

What dances does Ellie have left? Waltz couple’s choice? Can’t think of any others.
I think they should pick from next weeks two dances if they are in the dance off.

My guess for next week is:
Layton does both dances to an extremely high standard and tops the leader board.
Ellie also does very well on both dances but scores slightly less well than Layton
Bobby does a ropy quickstep and a deeply unconvincing paso but gets overmarked to come third
Johannes does the bare minimum of work on the salsa and they make a pig's ear of it but they score very highly on the VW; Annabel is bottom of the combined leaderboard.

Annabel dances off against Bobby doing her VW and is sent through to the final with Motsi voting the other way.

Next week:

Despite being top of the leaderboard, Layton will be in the DO against Bobby.

He is very unpopular. However, the judges will save him.

Totally agree to the point where I honestly can't imagine any other scenario possibly occurring. Nigel going has taken so much excitement out of the whole thing. It's gone from very predictable to incredibly predictable.

Given their abilities and previous scores it's pretty obvious Bobby and Annabel will be at the bottom. Whether Layton ends up in the dance off against one of them is down to us.

Whoever is in the dance off against Layton is out. But if I were Dianne or Johannes I would spend 60 or 70% of training time in the dance which suits my pro best to try and beat the other non Layton couple of weeks end up in the dance off together. So yes that would be Annabel's VW and ... whatever dance Bobby picks up best. The paso? I think he could act fierce.

I've just caught up it was awful, and she was really slow talking which made it creepier.

I wondered if they'd trapped her in a corridor in the BBC somewhere and got her to do it.

Same as whoever it was in the dark.

I didn't recognise Billie Piper, that was strange, I agree. Some of it was edited out as well.

I think there are other possibilities.

Assuming the leaderboard goes
Layton
Ellie
Bobby
Annabel
then the following plausible public vote orders put Bobby and Annabel in the DO
E/A/L/B
E/A/B/L
A/E/L/B
whereas this more-or-less plausible vote order puts Bobby and Layton in the DO
A/E/B/L (one of those interesting situations where it might be in Bobby's interests to get fewer votes because he might beat Annabel in the DO but can't beat Layton).

If Bobby screws up and finishes below Annabel then a Layton Bobby DO becomes more likely.

DO IT Billie ! poor woman was maybe terrified probably doesn't even know Layton😄

Yes why was she talking so slowly? Maybe she's locked herself in a room in shame for marrying Lawrence Fox and inflicting him on her children forevermore?

Billie Piper and Layton were in I Hate Suzie together.

ah OK, I didn't watch that.

Yes, his accent creases me! It seems like a lot of effort to avoid some consonants.

What an amazing experience for a youngster though- really opens up his future opportunities, I’d have thought.

😂can you imagine?!
"Who was your husband and father of your kids, Billie?"

Bobby has the same voice as his dad it is really confusing.

Why was he trying to say that sounded like “tayuws”??

I love his accent!

@SheIsStuck23

Tails :)

I didn’t watch the show last night but I may have to go and watch it on iPlayer just for this reason alone 😂

Bit of a nasty article in the Mail about Nigel today. Alleging “mood swings” and so on.

Do you usually mock regional accents?

Oh, come on, it wasn't mocking, it was an affectionate comment.

I really didn’t recognise Billie Piper. She seems to have a new face!

I really hope Bobby goes next week. I might vote for leyton, as its so sad that he is getting do much hate. yes he is a ringer, but he was hired by the bbc, so thats down to them.
the idea the ellie has never danced is bizarre. she is just too good to be a beginer.

I think it was just the weird filter but yes she was unrecognisable.
