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...

He got back his horse 🐎

Paul spent half that routine getting on and off the horse.

Karen danced well.

Karen worked hard there. The stationary horses danced better than he did

Is there a prize for the least dance content?

Bloody awful

😆

Merson out this week I think what a dance DIS ASS TER

That was real dad dancing!😂

So bloody awful I can't stop laughing 🙈

Karen worked hard as always but that was dire

At least she's having a laugh this series

Well, he just sat on his horse for the last 30 seconds!

And the first 30 seconds.

Karen looks great as a cowgirl.

He'll get plenty votes from the male viewers being forced to endure this.

Rose wore hearing aids, but I think could hear a lot less than Tasha. Tasha speaks as if she can hear better — you just get the edges of some words a bit "muffled" whereas Rose had quite a strong deaf accent.

Music through a cochlear implant is a bit weird though I believe, I know a dancer with one and sometimes they listen to music through the other ear with just a hearing aid because it's easier to hear/understand apparently. Although that might be a very personal thing.

That’s the one.

would have gladly swapped with Shirl.

hot hot hot

He gave it a good go, but it wasn't great.
He does seem to be enjoying it though.

I'll keep Toyah over that thanks. Jeremy had a horse for Go West iirc.

He might get votes....he did last week🤷‍♀️

Why?

He will get the votes I think despite sitting on a horse for some time

Mrs Doubtfire looks scary !

He'll not be in the bottom 2, footballers tend to do pretty well taking into account their skills.

Oooh Paul's fed up with it

It wasn't very good but there was definite improvement in his dance ability. I mean he's still not close to being a dancer but there is improvement. I'd put him slightly above Toyah in terms of skill improvement but it's close.
