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...

I haven't enjoyed Carlos in a couple, but he's great to watch. Lauren's gorgeous.

Lauren and Carlos are so good they should have partners

It's a bit of a retread even if he wears the glasses and shoulder pads.
But if they put him in a gorilla suit, I'd throw him a vote!

Lauren and Carlos are glorious.

And Nadiya went wrong / had a wardrobe malfunction

Was that woman singing completely out of tune?

Tom's worse this time. Poor lad.

They do look particularly thin, but I think it's the sleeves are just too puffy.

So wooden

I think Tom was better first time round he doesn't seem comfortable

I wouldn't put it past the wardrobe department to put him in a gorilla suit!

Abso-bloody-lutely!!!!!!

I agree. I think that was not as good as the first.

I think he could go out .

Apart from Ellie and Adam. Swimmers don't fair well on strictly

Carlos and Lauren were a real joy to watch just then and I loved the music. Very satisfying.

That was not great from Tom 😟

Think Toyah will go through

At least toyah is giving it everything she's got

I think the sleeves on Tess' dress make her arms look thinner.

I feel the same. I haven't enjoyed his celebrity dances but he's fabulous in the pro dances. His dance with Nikita to Mad anout the boy was wonderful.

I liked Tom last week. It's hard when he's so tall.

This dance is just crap. I feel like it's answered a lot of questions about why Neil is usually benched.

Terrible dance

I'd forgotten how rubbish this choreography is

Tom looked so awkward. At least Toyah looked like she was loving life

What!!!
