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...

Love Shayne ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ ♥️

if us the viewers can't tell what the dance is supposed to be, then how can the judges overmark so much? just awful

I think Montell could be in trouble with all the overmarking going on. I think I'll give all my votes to her tonight.

I thought Sam did well.

For a non dancer, non actress she gave it a proper go.

A paso to non paso music is also a lot to handle.

I thought their connection really improved and it was really good in parts. Not so much in others but at this stage it's about potential and improving and she's got that.

I would have called it a pasa no bleh

I missed Chris and Dianne, how did they score?

Yes I just made that mistake as well

The scoring is crazier than usual!

Looks like Jason Mansford

Late to the party.
Chris was undermarked. Loved JB.
What is gong on with Shanes hair? He is very handsome but the hair each week has been awful.

Loving this.... ♥️

I think they got 7s and 8s. I thought they were overmarked

I liked that!

It's a VW, it's not flippin DOI!

Surely they could have found an Elvis impersonator to have sung that.

Good dancing though

An Elvis song I've literally never heard before. How is this possible?

That was fine. Singing was AWFUL. Should have had Tommy doing it.

Shayne was good
.Tho he looks like Al Pacino to me

Ah that was so good.

I'm doing the same - I totally agree

I always hate Movie Week and usually skip it. It’s very often dances shoehorned into unsuitable horrible songs and bad costumes…looks like Pete W and Jamie are getting the short end of the costume stick this year - suppose it’s better than being Shrek or Donkey or a Minion…

I enjoyed that alot.

I thought that v waltz was a bit stiff and messy. Nowhere near as good as Sarah.

Well said Craig!

I'm not a Shayne fan but I really liked that!
