SCD '24 #5: Where we lose our first couple (SPOILER FREE)

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

I've made this a bit early because my dinner is going to be ready just before the end of Strictly and I don't want us to run out of space! Please finish up the other thread first.

First dance off is looming...

Spoiler thread if you like to indulge.

Video thread. Please post videos here to avoid slowing the main thread down.

Wasn't sure about her nailing the characterisation tbh - it was all a bit staid - but she was trying and I'll probably chuck her a vote.

And her husband

Neil’s outfits are always horrible and unflattering 😓

That husband! Totally embarrassing.

She was a bit better than last week and last week she was a bit better than the week before but it's too little. She isn't awful in a way that makes her a good comedy dancer, there's sort of nothing there to be entertained by. I wouldn't be even a tiny bit surprised to see her in the dance off tomorrow.

I wonder if she'd be better if she was paired with someone like Johannes?

Like rolling a turd in glitter, literally.

@BehindTheSequinsandStilettos she should really go this week and not take someone's slot

Jones does not stop going on about his daughter!!

She's as good at acting as she is at singing. I do have to say that hair and makeup have done a wonderful job with her. She looks glorious.

Did not like that... how can a musician lack musicality? I was expecting her to be so much better... although, tbf, that song did not help...

I think Toyah thought she'd score somewhat higher than that. The judges were a bit misleading...

Well. I was worried they were going to go with 5s after those comments so that score is a relief.

What did she mean 'my husband's been complaining about my lower half for 38 years'?

Nasty.

Havana nah nah nah....

Wasn't she supposed to be punk? So not musical at all

Her husband is a famous musician too. He made a holy show of himself.

I think she's trying to get to be like the sex obsessed old lady on sewing bee

I thought it was an attempt at innuendo that failed

Then Claude made a come joke.

They've made Diane look like Toyah!

Love this song!! Kudos to the singers.

Chris is brilliant, awesome timing :)

@chaosmaker I'd disagree that pink is not musical... but am probably thinking more of 90s/ 00s pop punk, I guess...
