[AnnieK]

Aw, thank you judges. I had no time this week and so had to rely on the first thing that came to me, as Niamh said, I thought it was too predictable and I'd be judged harshly for that. So thank you :love:

[Cherie]

Thanks everyone for your excellent participation so far. Not going to be on the forum much this weekend or next week as I'm going on holiday. But this game will get going again when I get back so everyone give your feet a good rest while the show is postponed as you all need to bring your A game to Blackpool!

Parmy spoiling the details of the theme :clap1: :clap1: :clap1: ICONIQUE

[Strictly Jake]

I'd like a show this week so I'm making the deadline Wednesday 1pm

[Beso]

Parmy spoiling the details of the theme :clap1: :clap1: :clap1: ICONIQUE

what exactly have i spoiled?

its boyband v girlband...i thought we would be allowed to pick our own sexes fgs!!

[Strictly Jake]

what exactly have i spoiled?

its boyband v girlband...i thought we would be allowed to pick our own sexes fgs!!

But as it is Boybands vs Girlbands I needed to insure 4 contestants have Boyband songs and 4 have Girlbands otherwise it would be unequal

[Beso]

i need to say how happy i am to have made blackpool..for an old guy that never watches the show ever..i do like my music though and have pictured myself twirling and sweating with my partner in every song choice i have made, but this one was tough for me..not only have i never watched the show before, but i have also never listened to girlband or boyband music at all in my life...unless it was the beach by the sugarbabes...and that was only cause of the book..


loving the challenge though..

[Beso]

And that was All Saints Pure Shores :joker:

Also if you have never heard Boyband or Girlband music then how come your so fussed about what gender your given?

[Strictly Jake]

oh, ok...i dont mind taking the fall...yet again, like i always seem to in this game.

You haven't been given the fall. Stop making out your victimised

[Beso]

You haven't been given the fall. Stop making out your victimised

ive not forgotten the 2 points i lost for the wrong costume you posted a few weeks back....but you are a busy man and I accept that... now this week im being asked to go further out the box than other male contestants.


im not complaining though, i like the challenge.:hehe:

[Beso]

Feedback and scores

Jake and Oti

Barry:* I liked it. Is this a remake of another song? I think I've heard the tune before? Anyway was good

Niamh: Decent but expect more at this stage

Adam: It was cute although mistakes were made

Cherie: Great choice for contemporary dance

Morgan:* Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, **** on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it

Barry:8
Niamh:7
Adam:8
Cherie:10!
Morgan:10!

Barry:9
Niamh:10!
Adam:10!
Cherie:9

Niamh: Not your best performance but not too bad

Adam: I don't need you

[SherzyK]

Loving it, thanks judges :love:

[Tony Montana]

For the third time in a row I've narrowly escaped the dance off.

[Tony Montana]

Congrats Sherzy. :clap1:

[Beso]

Never doubted my entry.

[Beso]

Morgan: This would’ve been good if it wasn’t literally doing strictly four weeks ago. Get some creativity you bloody weirdo man




FYI....I don't watch the show..I picked that myself...so I'm taking an 11 from you to top the leader board.

[Strictly Jake]

In all fairness to Parm, although the song was used a few weeks ago. Walk like an Egyptian was famously used for Denise Van outens Charleston and Spice up your life was used for a salsa by Debbie Mcgee ironically at Blackpool week

I think from this point forward can we try and be a bit more original lol

[Liam-]

Adam normally marks down for lack of originality, he must be in a good mood :hehe:

[Cherie]

Im watching and didn't recall Parms song being used :hehe:

Congrats Sherz

[Morgan.]

Im watching and didn't recall Parms song being used :hehe:

Congrats Sherz

nmqkU61b7zI

:hehe:

[Beso]

No need for nasty comments at this stage of the game.

I will be discounting Morgan's scores and opinions in the future.

[Mitchell]

I would’ve given less than a 5 considering the unoriginality.

[Cherie]

nmqkU61b7zI

:hehe:

ah right I was out that night and missed that particular show

[SherzyK]

I actually don’t watch strictly so I wouldn’t know the first thing about a salsa. I was given a girl group and needed a somewhat fast pace song for it and this is all I could think of. Would I really take the risk knowing that there are people who watch it for a passion, not really.

[Beso]

I would’ve given less than a 5 considering the unoriginality.

How was it unoriginal?

I searched for the top 25 boybands on gogle and listen to a few if them to find a song that suit my dance...I didn't even know johnas brothers were a boy band...yet I picked the same song out of thousands that was used 4 weeks ago....and you would mark me down for not being original...what a turnip.:nono:

[Beso]

And how did Morgan know it was a bloke ..?

Jake done little mix...so how was he sure it was a bloke?

[Beso]

What's next week's theme...?

[Morgan.]

And how did Morgan know it was a bloke ..?

Jake done little mix...so how was he sure it was a bloke?

I didn’t know you’re a bloke I was quoting Danielle from BB15

[Beso]

You didn't know if I watched the show or not but you based your whole opinion on that

[Morgan.]

You didn't know if I watched the show or not but you based your whole opinion on that

Yeah because I’m a judge and that was my decision

[Beso]

Yeah because I’m a judge and that was my decision

You need to have a word with the editor because last week you gave the first dance a ten...then your comment on the 2nd dance was the one in my sig..but you only gave it a 9..:joker::joker:

[Beso]

Anyway...Let's crack on...


What's up next I wonder. .costumes?...

[Beso]

I think I should come back as a professional dancer next year.

[Strictly Jake]

From next week onwards no theme and you will have to take on 2 dances from now on

[Barry.]

I don't care if it's been used on the song before. I just judge the song and the dance.

[Strictly Jake]

The public have made their decision

Leaving this week are

Liam and Ola!

Thanks for taking part

Contestants you will be given your 2 dances later

[Mitchell]

I don't care if it's been used on the song before. I just judge the song and the dance.

But then what’s stopping someone from just going on to Wikipedia and finding a song that was used for a Rumba, why should that be rewarded over a unique routine that someone’s put effort into?

[Strictly Jake]

Are you going to judge this week?

[Strictly Jake]

This week's show will determine who makes the Quarter final!

Dance 1

Tony and Flavia theatre Jazz

Mitchell: Whilst still cute and fun and classy, you ain’t Faye Tozer, you ain’t even Lisa Scott Lee hun

Liam: Alright song, not very original, could do better

Cherie: Not my cup of tea

Adam: It was cute but a carbon copy of a dance seen before

Mitchell:4
Liam:5
Cherie:8
Adam:7

Anniek and Anton American Smooth

Mitchell: it’s like someone didn’t get last weeks memo about not being lazy and just choosing songs that have been used on strictly, it’s a FREE CHOICE week, so you don’t even have the excuse of being restricted to a theme, you’re lucky I gave you 3...

Liam: Wonderful song choice, great for an American Smooth, good job!

Cherie: Superb

Adam: I loved it

Mitchell:3
Liam:8
Cherie:9
Adam:8

Rileyh and Nancy Argentine Tango

Mitchell: SO DAMN CUTE!

Liam: Gorgeous, but not perfect

Cherie: Really liked this

Adam: It was lacklustre

Mitchell:10!
Liam:8
Cherie:10!
Adam:5

Jake and Oti Charleston

Mitchell: Very unique with such a warm feeling

Liam: I didn’t really enjoy it, sorry

Cherie: inspired

Adam:Mistakes were had

Mitchell:9
Liam:6
Cherie:10!
Adam:6

Smudgie and Alijaz Contemporary

Mitchell: Just beautiful really

Liam: nice song, although a little bit predictable and left me a bit cold

Cherie: Beautiful

Adam: It was special

Mitchell:9
Liam:7
Cherie:10!
Adam:9

Sherzy and Natalie Jive

Mitchell: very energetic, a bit too hectic in places, but a solid dance

Liam: Jay Mcguiness who?

Cherie: Lively

Adam: Amaaazing

Mitchell:7
Liam:9
Cherie:9
Adam:10!

Parmnion and Kristina Street Dance

Mitchell: chavtastic, now go down the offy and get me some rizzla

Liam: Sorry, that was dreadful

Cherie: Didn't like his voice but music suited the dance

Adam: The state of it

Mitchell:8
Liam:4
Cherie:9
Adam:3

Dance Two

Tony and Flavia Rumba

Mitchell: a bit too predictable. But really sweet and I just adore that song anyway!

Liam: b-e-a-utiful

Cherie: Class

Adam: A basic routine seen a million times

Mitchell:8
Liam:9
Cherie:10!
Adam:5

AnnieK and Anton Samba

Mitchell: if like Jake usually formats these routines, this person would’ve been the person who chose the very uninspiring American smooth, this routine was performed by Anita Rani on the same series as Peter Andre, so if you think you’re gonna get good marks from me for going onto Strictly 2015’s Wikipedia page and finding a samba and an American smooth, youre highly mistaken, if anyone else goes this week, it’ll be a TRAVESTY.

Liam: not offensive, but really predictable, it’s the time for some originality now

Cherie: oh my hips dont lie

Adam: Those hips did lie

Mitchell:2
Liam:7
Cherie:9
Adam:5

Rileyh and Nancy Quickstep

Mitchell: WHEW! Just gorgeous x

Liam: Perfection

Cherie: quicky steppy

Adam: I loved it

Mitchell:8
Liam:10!
Cherie:10!
Adam:9

Jake and Oti Waltz

Mitchell: So so pure

Liam: lovely song, not the best for a waltz, but the emotion made up for it

Cherie: Beautiful

Adam: Boring

Mitchell:9
Liam:8
Cherie:10!
Adam:4

Smudgie and Alijaz Salsa

Mitchell: I’m giving you a 4, it was a slightly lazy choice by just searching g for another couples salsa, but I’ll give it more than the other uninspired routines as it hasn’t just been lifted from strictly.

Liam: didn’t really feel it, sorry, good attempt though

Cherie: Did the job

Adam: I fell asleep

Mitchell:4
Liam:6
Cherie:9
Adam:4

Sherzyk and Natalie Paso Doble

Mitchell:a Lidl version of Joe and Katya

Liam: traditional music is always great, but that just fell flat for me

Cherie: Devilish

Adam: Meh

Mitchell:3
Liam:7
Cherie:10!
Adam:5

Parmnion and Kristina Foxtrot

Mitchell: Shirley Bassey did that.

Liam:that’s just made me a very proud Welshman

Cherie: Not foxytrotty

Adam: I loved that so much

Mitchell:8
Liam:9
Cherie:8
Adam:8

So what happens now...it's nearly blue book thursday

[Strictly Jake]

So what happens now...it's nearly blue book thursday

You will be sent your 5 best scored or most memorable dances. You get to choose one to perform again. From the other 4 songs the judges pick which one your going to perform again. In the meantime you all need to pick a showdance song that you will perform as your final dance

How it works is all the judges score your previous 2 performances. Then the 3 contestants with the highest scores all go on to perform their showdances on an anonymous poll. The forum then picks their favourite showdance song without knowing which contestant is which. So favouritism wont determine the final result

[Beso]

Can you explain what a showstopper is?

Is it more lyrically important rather than a song for a cetainly dance...

[Beso]

And do we have to pick a different song for the previous dances.?

[Strictly Jake]

And do we have to pick a different song for the previous dances.?

No it will be your two best songs of the series. You choose one the judges choose the other

A showdance can be an emotional or an empowering song that you can explain your journey

[Beso]

It seems us dancers ain't being challenged enough to me.

I'm sure.my other 3 competitors would like a chance to perhaps add a costume or something.

[Cherie]

When is the final Jake?

[Strictly Jake]

When is the final Jake?

I will send the songlist in the next couple of hours. I need scores back by tomorrow. I want the final to be on friday

aww Shame, both his songs this week got 10's from me. Well done parmy, I think you were robbed of a place in the final tbh

Well done to Jake, Tony and Riley though :love:

[Cherie]

Yes Parm was robbed, I think he has really put alot of effort into choosing songs outside the box, shame really

Well done to the finalists

[Beso]

Thank you everyone it's been an absolute delight taking part in this, my aim was to avoid the public vote each week, which I'm chuffed to say I did.

I have also been ignoring Morgan's scores so I have actually won in my own head...

Shakey, thank you so much for doing this, you made me get back into my music and would never have found this classic song that I would have used as my showstopper.
