SCD '24 #8 The One Where Karen Came As A Car Wash (NO SPOILERS)

[EineReiseDurchDieZeit]

KEEP DANCING

I find Vito really sexy even though I am old enough to be his grandmother (just about) but I love it when he talks and bounces around. I find him adorable.

Yes.

Very sorry for her trouble, but she's never been a fave of mine.

I wish they had kept Paul, jb and Amy are just dull.

Lots of the pro’s have certain gestures they always use - Amy’s is the “hand on chest” and I’ve noticed Nadia likes a “big wink, open mouth” at the camera.

I flew through the show in around ten mins on catchup cos I cannot stand all the long drawn-out dance off and clauditorium shite (although I do love Claud of course!). The pro-dance was exquisite... I recognise green shirt guy but can't put a name on him. Am almost 100% sure that Oti's husband Marius was in the dance in a red shirt. Agree re. SEB, I don't rate her AT ALL as a singer and I've no idea how she has managed to be as successful as she has been other than the leg up she got from having a semi-famous mum. However, I do think she is a nice person and enjoy listening to her on the radio when she does her kitchen disco stuff. Disappointed to see Amy and JB in the dance-off, they will have to up their game. I wonder did they not get votes because the public thought they were probably safe? I gave Punam three votes again this week because I'm annoyed with how she is being marked in comparison to others... but I think she will need to improve to go much further. It can't be easy trying to work and parent alongside the training.

This week shows that Amy isn’t getting the pity vote which I think is good. She’s competitive and would dislike that.

oooh next week is wide open!

Exactly, now the really weak dancers have gone it’s going to be survival of the fittest.

I don't think JB will have endeared himself to too many people with his attitude and performance in the dance off.

But that would make it an English word, which it's not

SEB can really sing - you may not like her voice, she has some vibrato, but she can bloody well sing. I saw her live supporting TT years ago and didn't expect much: she's great.

Who's SEB?

Sophie Ellis Bexter

I love Halloween week! 🎃

I would have felt for JB if he'd gone home because he's better than he was in the dance off. I find him uninteresting but that's partly on Amy who I also find twee.

Paul's improved but I'm not sorry he's gone. At least he could leave with his head held high unlike if he'd gone in week two when he was totally shit.

Me too. Monster Mash, sexy vampires, Craig in zombie makeup, I'm here for all of it.

And the little ghost paddles 👻

I really like him and, despite his performance in the dance off, still think he could go a long way. I much prefer him to Pete, Tasha, Wynne and Punam.

Claudia in exactly the same outfit and makeup as normal but with slightly less fake tan.

Halloween is my favourite week on Strictly 🎃👻💀

I love Halloween week. I buy all the M&S Halloween nibbles and thoroughly enjoy it all 😍

Amy, I love her as a person and she's utterly incredible to be dancing with a partner this year. Actually, I still cannot understand how she's fit enough to do it at all.
But her pointy twee jive move infuriates me so much 😆

Everyone saying they like Paul and wish he'd stayed, and he's so likeable etc - are we just ignoring his abusive past??

And everyone thinking SEB got a help from her mum - does Janet Ellis have any clout whatsoever in the music industry?! I highly doubt it.

I Know nothing about him, apart from his 8 kids by 3 marriages.
I hate football so avoid it.
but I still would rather a novice like hi stayed it than a ringer.

@ilovesooty what was wrong with JB's attitude? I thought nerves seemed to get the better of him as his dance off performance was full of errors from the get go.
