SCD 24 #15 NO SPOILERS Marking Madness & Dubious Dresswear

[TheShellBeach]

Yes! It's Musicals Week!

Will we also see an Egregious Elimination?

75% sounds reasonable?

3 out of 7 is less than 50%.

If one of Sarah, JB or Tasha goes this weekend then the Live Tour will only consist of 2 finalists, which doesn't look good!

Soz, meant 75% of semi finalists on the tour!

Argh, my maths is all off today, too much time spent looking at spreadsheets! I'm thinking of a standard semi final in e.g. sport, where there would be 4 semi finalists

At least if you go to the live shows next spring you won't be able to predict the show winner (it's been obvious in previous years).
I hope Kai gets Montell, I wonder if Lauren is on Gio's tour which means Jowita or Diane could dance with JB.

Yeah I reckon Kai and Montell.

Ooh they'd be lovely together

I'd missed this thread altogether, so just checking in to catch up!

I absolutely love the Verve and not sure I can bear hearing Bittersweet Symphony being murdered by the SCD squalers.

That's a shame. The original was fun and I know we always watched it. Yes, ninja warrior is much better. They just need to retire Bradley Walsh off. No idea about his son but BW is filling jobs that others could do a lot better

I enjoyed Gladiators. Fury and Sabre were fabulous female Gladiators. Actually we didn't see much of Fire (Montell) and she wasn't convincing to me - I've actually enjoyed and feel like I've got to know her better on SCD.

I think tomorrow's programme will be the most interesting.

I would like to see Pete in the DO but have a feeling it's going to be Tasha/Aljaz v Sarah/Vito.

BTW @EineReiseDurchDieZeit are you on thread duty tomorrow? Or someone else? Or me?
I don't mind either way.

Pete is hugely popular, and it would be a crying shame if one of Sarah, Tasha or JB leaves.

Yes, I know some will argue Pete is what Strictly is about blah blah blah, but I'd rather see 3 good dances in the final than 3 mediocre ones.

Does anyone listen to his podcast? His recent one with Chris is very funny, and both of them provide very honest insights about their experience on the show.

I haven’t minded too much about Pete getting through. But the last couple of weeks it’s starting to irritate me. I thought it is what it is and if people are voting, so be it. But last week changed my mind he is so far behind the others now it’s not fair. Not his fault at all but it will be a shame if any of the others go tomorrow and not him.

This is where I am with Pete now, although I was a supporter of his earlier on. Usually 'honest triers' get so far on charm and voters rewarding their improvement and commitment, and then they're let go at a suitable juncture. It's just wearing very thin with Pete now.
Having said that, I wouldn't miss Tasha. Someone who is currently a pro dancer (see also Layton) is in a different league from even the JBs or Sarah's; it seems patently unfair. And I don't think Tasha and Aljaz have a good relationship/chemistry or have even turned in that many good, entertaining dances.

I liked Aljaz up to this series but I haven't enjoyed his partnership with Tasha.

24 hours to the semi finals. I've settled down to watch It Takes Two and put up a poll of the remaining five.

Please vote and maybe occasionally bump so we can see what the MN hive mind is thinking.

i would love pete to stay in and a ringer like tash to go, doubt it will happen though.

I'd like Pete to reach the final too.

I want Chris to win, have done from the start. I think he is amazing, the likes of Tasha and Sarah haven't really improved that much because they were good to start with (not surprising when they are or have been dancers).

JB is my second favourite, I don't think they did much dancing in JLS so I think he's done really well. It can't have been easy changing partners halfway through.

i was pleased sarah was in it. but she is always in the air.

A ballroom and a Latin this week should mean that that there will be no illegal lifts!

I won't hold my breath, I'm sure they'll find a way to have her crotch in the air.

No. Although I agree with you @Samcro the judges will save Tasha, barring a disaster.
