Strictly Come Dancing 2019 Discussion Thread (Spoiler-Free Please)

[LaLaLand]

Omg she's good :cheer:

[Denver]

Michelle is a potential finalist

[Ammi]

...she’s such a show-woman...

[Ammi]

...amazing...:lovedup:...the lady has the moves...

[LaLaLand]

Aw I'm so pleased she's one of the good ones, hope she goes far.

[Ammi]

..Hahaha, she’s dazzled Craig...mesmerising mama....:love:..

[Denver]

She is so much better then I though and it makes me happy

[Ammi]

..:love:..

[Strictly Jake]

Running behind but just seen kelvin. Wow!!!!!!!!

[Amy Jade]

Michelle was FAB

[LaLaLand]

What's the song playing in Dev's vid!?

[LukeB]

Michelle was better than Kelvin :shrug:

[Amy Jade]

Queen Anneka!

[Ammi]

Queen Anneka!

..:love:...(...I missed her dance actually...but whatever she does, she’s always regal..:flutter:..)...

[Ammi]

....another excellent first dance...:love:..

[LaLaLand]

Wow Will!!!

[Ammi]

...Motsi...:flutter:..

[LukeB]

How old is he :skull:

[Ammi]

..:love:..

[Strictly Jake]

I get potential Aston shock exit with Karim

[Vanessa]

Wow! Karim is fantastic! I absolutely loved that! Woohoo :dance:

[Ammi]

...the song choice..:love:...

[LukeB]

Emma B :love:

[LaLaLand]

Anton’s finally got a good partner again! Last was Katie Derham!

[Ammi]

...my sweepstake...stunning..:lovedup:..

[Vanessa]

So happy for Amy. She finally has someone who can dance :dance:

[Liam-]

Michelle stole the show

Also, is anyone else really irritated by Will? I find him so annoying

[Liam-]

I get potential Aston shock exit with Karim

I hope so, he’s irritating as ****

[Amy Jade]

Dont like Karim so irritating.

Think Michelle and Kelvin stole the show tonight though

[Vanessa]

He's bloody brilliant!

[Twosugars]

Michelle was outstanding

[MB.]

Well after all of that, I can safely say that Letitia Dean is winning this series

(imho Alex and Catherine were undermarked, Saffron, Mike and Will were overmarked, and Motsi telling David James of all people to channel his inner Sasha Fierce is simultaneously the best and worst advice that I've ever seen a judge give on Strictly)

[LaLaLand]

Think Michelle and Kelvin stole the show tonight though

Agreed!

[Ammi]

...the Strictly headline on my newsfeed this morning was..’Has Strictly Already Found its 2019 Winner..’...(..referring to Kelvin...)...I hate that, when a winner is kind of predicted from the off...I find it hard to sustain interest because the progression of others can be far greater than someone who has a natural rhythm/skill etc...

[MB.]

Especially because Strictly has already found its 2019 winner, and it's Letitia Dean

[Ammi]

..:laugh:..it’s like Referendum lies all over again, MB...is this what the public will vote on...

[Liam-]

If he pulls a Jay and gets progressively worse and more dull, but still wins because he did one memorable dance i’ll fume

[Ammi]

...as if we thought the U.K. divide couldn’t get any deeper...hold onto your sequins ladies, this could be a bumpy ride...

[Nicky91]

God he is one of the worst dancers this show has ever had

This geezer cant move

Omg, he's as stiff as a board :shocked:

bit of respect please, James might not be a good dancer but it is for sure admirable of him trying the best he can, he's never danced before in his life, never been in this glitter, glamour world of entertainment before

he suffers from epilepsy since that boat accident which left him with some brain trauma

[Twosugars]

Nicky abandoning the viscountess already, theres a surprise

[Twosugars]

i've seen no potential there, a shame as i like her personality, lifestyle at longleat, safari park

but it's nothing bad if you can't dance that well, not everyone is meant for the dancing anyway

it would be pure luck if she can avoid first boot, and a prayer for me she is first boot cause i don't want James to be that, he deserves a better moment next week, something crowdpleasing comedy maybe, just let go and have fun would be my advice for James



She showed a lot of promise and will do well



You are so disloyal its unbelievable

[Twosugars]

Why did you sing her praises until yesterday?

[Morgan.]

Why did you sing her praises until yesterday?

Dont even question it, 2S, hes just trolling again you wont get the answers you want from him

[Twosugars]

Dont even question it, 2S, hes just trolling again you wont get the answers you want from him

It's the lies that get me.
She couldn't do wrong until yesterday and now she is a posh duffer

[Nicky91]

She showed a lot of promise and will do well



You are so disloyal its unbelievable

yes she showed a lot of promise :love: decent enough for a beginner

and next week ballroom possibly idk, then i can see her being among top 5, hoping for amazing pieces of music but she can slay waltzes, foxtrots, viennese waltz in the most glamorous classy way we've never seen before in strictly history

more like a princess tackling a ballroom, her comfort zone


as for the latins further on in competition, well i think samba is something what i want to see since you can dance that with more relaxed bend knees while in cha cha you needed a straightened bit stiff leg

[Liam-]

Exhausting

[Vanessa]

I think this year there are a lot of contenders. I do like Kelvin a lot, but my favourite is Karim.
Because those hips are getting me all hot and bothered :blush2::D

[Vanessa]

If he pulls a Jay and gets progressively worse and more dull, but still wins because he did one memorable dance i’ll fume

I loved Jay. He was my favourite that year. But it was his jive that won the show for him.

[GoldHeart]

Kelvin is another Danny Mac ! :o . He was almost like a professional ! felt like i was watching week 10 !! :laugh2:

[Vanessa]

Kelvin is another Danny Mac ! :o . He was almost like a professional ! felt like i was watching week 10 !! :laugh2:

He's good, but i still prefer Karim.

[GoldHeart]

He's good, but i still prefer Karim.

Karim had rhythm but his routine was a bit showy

[Nicky91]

Danny's routines last year with Amy were also quite showy

maybe it's her choreo :think:

[Vanessa]

Karim had rhythm but his routine was a bit showy

True, but he doesn't do the choreography. Amy does.

[Nicky91]

the ones i am keeping my eye on the most are for sure Kelvin & Oti, Lady Emma & Aljaz

but overall it was a good week 1 show, and if this is the standard for the entire series then we are in for a treat


if Emma already had fun with her cha cha, i'm excited what she can do with some improvements in the storytelling, technique, and when it comes to ballroom anton might be the king of ballroom but aljaz is also a good ballroom teacher and a good latin teacher too :)

[Nicky91]

my dad's week 1 thoughts

Alex & Neil, Neil de Jaunsse as he calls Neil :joker: he liked the quickstep and he thought it was undermarked

Chris & Karen, he had some expectations of him being good but after that cha cha he was disappointed, he found him really wooden

Catherine & Johannes, he complained about the suitcases laying there being a problem with their dance, but he thought she did alright for week 1

Saffron & AJ, he said music was too fast, but it was a good performance

Mike & Katya, he thought mike isn't gonna be a good dancer pre-jive, but he was positively surprised

Emma & Aljaz, he knows her from animal park, but was shook about where she actually lives :laugh2: ''she lives in that huge mansion'' about cha cha performance, he found her a bit stiff at times, but he liked her having fun throughout her first performance and he's a fan of Aljaz

James & Luba, he was laughing how wooden james is, but i said ''don't laugh pls he had a brain injury'' but still he called it a very bad performance

Kelvin & Oti, he called their samba phenomenal

David & Nadiya, he said oh this is fun, a football foxtrot not something you would expect but it works

Michelle & Gio, he said about michelle finger pointing at craig, if you want low marks, you gotta do that, but he liked her first performance, very technically good cha cha

Dev & Dianne, one of my dad's fave performances of the night, also he likes that song especially build me up buttercup

Anneka & Kevin, he noticed Anneka being ''flat footed'' mostly, and he liked the song lyric from gloria to Anneka words as fun, and he thinks she might stay until blackpool just because she has kevin :laugh:

Will & Janette, he respects will, janette is among his fave female pro dancers next to Nadiya, he liked this quickstep too, he added very good for someone with a disability which is very easily noticed in latin or ballroom dancing

Karim & Amy, he liked this, he can see karim as a potential finalist for sure

Emma B & Anton, his thoughts of the jive, poor girl to be stuck with anton who is weak in any fast dance and he didn't recognize this song from ABBA, he thought it was from someone else :joker:

[Morgan.]

I agree with your dad. :wavey:

[GoldHeart]

True, but he doesn't do the choreography. Amy does.

The funny thing is last year Graziano was too much of a poser and sadly his celebrity suffered because of his poor direction . And even though he was the pro it seemed like it was all about him .

And remember the way Aston was stitched up in the end , and he was one of the best in the competition.

Just hope Karim doesn't get let down and i hope he tries to focus more on technique and less on looking pretty .

[Nicky91]

ItalianStallion, Da Visage has got the perfect TeamItaly song choice, ''that's amore'' perfect for viennese waltz too

i wouldn't be surprised if they end up top of leaderboard on saturday :smug:

I wouldn't worry. Amy is very focused on teaching technique. On the cha cha she had to make it stand out, because it's not the most exciting dance.

[Nicky91]

this year is gonna be so hard for me with the ''saying goodbyes'' week by week cause i like most of them

i somehow cringe watching Anneka & Kevin due to her being taller than him, she does try her best though and that is what i do applaud

James, somehow i hope he does slightly better than that tango, has more fun, because even if going out, you want to go out having took more risks, had fun


Catherine & Johannes, i enjoy watching, a shame the suitcases were a problem for the technical dancing of the viennese waltz, so hope there are no props as obstacles during her samba this week and show your sexy side pls, samba needs filth, but don't look at kelvin's samba, just be yourself still, and show us your samba Cath


anyways i cannot wait for saturday, and also sundays results show with lewis capaldi :love:

[Strictly Jake]

Really hope Anneka stays in for a few weeks

[Vanessa]

Same. I think I'll be crying every week :bawling:

[Vanessa]

Interesting that Saffron has been struggling.
But then again, there will be dances they're more comfortable doing more than others.

[Vanessa]

Really hope Anneka stays in for a few weeks

Same. She's having fun.

[Nicky91]

tomorrow's show could again be great like last week i think

i'm loving the diverse bunch of dances, and music choices :love:

[jet]

ItalianStallion, Da Visage has got the perfect TeamItaly song choice, ''that's amore'' perfect for viennese waltz too

i wouldn't be surprised if they end up top of leaderboard on saturday :smug:

I hope you are right. I love them as a pairing. :dance:

[Vanessa]

I get the feeling, this is going to be so tense every week. For the first time, I like most of them. Don't really want anyone to go. It will be hard :bawling:

[GoldHeart]

Interesting that Saffron has been struggling.
But then again, there will be dances they're more comfortable doing more than others.

I legit had to Google who she was :joker: , I'd never heard of her & never watched her YT channel . In fact I didn't know who some of the celeb contestants were this year :conf: .

But I noticed Saffron's performance wasn't that great , it felt very average & like it was missing something.

[Nicky91]

radio times interviews are up now

lady emma's is fun, she wished she had done some dancing before, but she has no ballroom, latin experience

she did watch at dance competitions though, so from a spectator to an actual dancer


she's living one of her childhood dreams right now :flutter:

[Strictly Jake]

Eeeeeek so excited about tonight!!!!

[Nicky91]

Eeeeeek so excited about tonight!!!!

that david guetta song for alex, i thought of that as too slow for cha cha

while other guetta songs suit cha cha better like ''without you'' or ''when love takes over''

[Nicky91]

sooo since DS does one

''who are we looking forward to the most tonight''

i basically look forward to all of the couples, but i guess Posh Queen Emma & Aljaz mostly, because i hope her hard work this week pays off for the tango and bc of them being my main fave i like following this journey, and again i hope for a fun longleat VT


but my top of leaderboard prediction, i think emma b & anton could have highest scoring dance of night, but kelvin staying on top of overall leaderboard

[Nicky91]

anyways start of show is 6:40 PM

[RileyH]

James & Luba, he was laughing how wooden james is, but i said ''don't laugh pls he had a brain injury'' but still he called it a very bad performance

oop

[Nicky91]

oop

yeah, i just also want James to have fun now with the jive, if going out, rather to go out with a smile and having fun

tutti frutti is also one of my nan's fave songs :D

[Twosugars]

Perched

Chris SLAYED

[GiRTh]

A Foxtrot to Cream. :conf:

[Morgan.]

Oop miss Courtney Act in the audience

[GiRTh]

Poor Luba :bored:

[GiRTh]

Caths gone wrong about four times already. Choreography is far too difficult.

[Ammi]

...Michelle..:lovedup:...that’s amore....

[Braden]

Girls, I'm in tears because of Michelle's beautiful dancing.

[GiRTh]

Michelle - overmarked. They took ages to get into hold, she did half a Fleckerl and they came out of hold early. We can tell who the judges fave.

[Ammi]

Girls, I'm in tears because of Michelle's beautiful dancing.

...can you imagine the tears in the eyes of her daughters while they’re watching her..:lovedup:...

[Ammi]

...awwww his mum...:lovedup:..

[Braden]

...can you imagine the tears in the eyes of her daughters while they’re watching her..:lovedup:...

She's doing everyone proud, god love her :love:

[GiRTh]

This guys really good.

[Ammi]

...he’s also very likeable as a person, Girth...gorgeous...:love:...

[GiRTh]

Dont watch alot of childrens TV so I'm not familiar with him :laugh:

[Ammi]

...yeah, just from seeing him on here I meant...:laugh:...he has an engaging personality...

[GiRTh]

Not a good start. Katya looks gorgeous though.

[Strictly Jake]

This is a bit disappointing tonight. Michelle was good so was Karim but I'm not keen on him. I'm loving Anneka. I want kelvin to do awesome

[Vanessa]

...he’s also very likeable as a person, Girth...gorgeous...:love:...

He made me cry. Karim is so good. :bawling:

[GiRTh]

Katya with the brilliant chorey as always.

[Ammi]

He made me cry. Karim is so good. :bawling:

....hawwwwww, Vanessa..you’re an Italian ocean of emotion...:hug:...

[GiRTh]

How many have scored less than 20? This has got to be the worse show ever.

[Strictly Jake]

Yasss go Alex <3

[Ammi]

...gorgeous...:love:..

[Vanessa]

....hawwwwww, Vanessa..you’re an Italian ocean of emotion...:hug:...

Hes like a young Gene Kelly :flutter:

[GiRTh]

Not great from my fav Alex. Its her partner

[Strictly Jake]

Like what? Kelvin only got 7s. Bruno gave Saffron a 7 and she went wrong pretty much the whole way through. Some strange scoring going on tonight

[Vanessa]

Karim and Amy are top of the leader board! Get in! Woohoo :dance::cheer2:

[Amy Jade]

AJ's hair :skull:

[Vanessa]

Tonight, I thought Michelle was amazing. First time she has impressed me.

[Liam-]

I’ll be damned if Michelle didn’t just steal the show again

[Nicky91]

okay all my thoughts (my honest thoughts) first of all i bloody loved the show again

Saffron & AJ, i thought she did do a great job at the correct leg action, i did see hip action unlike Craig, it was a good performance as well i scored it a 8 out of 10

Anneka & Kevin, Massive improvements from her cha cha, she also looked gorgeous in that dress wow i scored her a 7 out of 10

Dev & Dianne, loved loved loved it, finalist material for me personally i scored it a 9 out of 10

Emma W & Aljaz, i didn't get the theme behind the performance, technique wise it was okayish i think maybe too overambitious idk, dress was gorgeous on emma anyway i scored it and yes i was honest about the performance in my scoring 5 out of 10, if basing it on how she looked, her efforts it would've more been a 7, but i gotta remain honest

Chris & Karen, Good fun entertaining charleston, it put a smile on my face a 9 out of 10 from me :clap1:

Emma B & Anton, there were a couple of mistakes too apart from the slide, also it is very noticeable when there are mistakes because then anton starts dragging his partner across the floor with that big smile on his face a 4 out of 10 from me sadly

James & Luba, 100% better than the tango, loved it how he had fun, a 7 out of 10 from me

Cath & Johannes, i did not see any volta's, it more looked like a cha cha or salsa also johannes should've toned it down a bit for catherine to keep up he outdanced her and it was so visible a 6 out of 10 from me

Michelle & Giovanni, Gorgeous performance, no seriously a delicious viennese waltz to look at, also loved the attention for detail at Italy, with the boat, nice bit of storytelling, technique was also good, character check a 8 out of 10 from me i liked it :thumbs:

David & Nadiya, i liked your effort at the paso, but it all came across as pedestrian yes a paso you can still move a bit more across the floor, you need a mix of walking and dancing, that makes the paso extremely difficult a 6 out of 10 from me

Karim & Amy, this was a pure foxtrot in ballroom heaven, also love the clean shave on your face, classy classy classy a 8 out of 10 from me, you are one to watch my dear :clap1:

Mike & Katya, i expected to be worse, but i had a good laugh with this cowboy linedancing homage, but as a american smooth it was not good, still good entertainment value though, great choreo Katya, i enjoyed it 5 out of 10

Alex & Neil, nice straight leg action, judges were a bit harsh, however one part i saw in performance looked like jive technique not cha cha or did i see that wrongly, still enjoyable performance 7 out of 10

Kelvin & Oti, this was lesser than your samba, but respect for doing such a gem of a classic song masterpiece justice a 7 out of 10 :clap2:

Will & Janette, undermarked by judges, i liked the concept, i liked the choreo, i love your fun character Will, i believe there is more in you than just being good in fun upbeat dances, i wanna see your vulnerable side in the slow dances 7 out of 10

[RileyH]

Karim deserved 9s

[Black Dagger]

Viscountess would've more deserved a 2 from craig, not a 4 (overmarked) :idc:


even Jerry Hall danced with more life :bored: not gonna go into that route again myself, i already made that mistake once with Daisy lowe

i won't let her ruin my fave show, i rather just pay attention at who's good :hee:

Who are you trying to impress really?

[Nicky91]

Who are you trying to impress really?

no one lol, i'm just not being biased anymore, i need to be honest as a Judge myself

her tango was not my cup of tea

[Black Dagger]

Why is it biased for having a favourite?

Don't make fan clubs in the future then if you can't stick to them.

[Nicky91]

judges can't have favourites ;)

and my fanclub is genuine, i like her outside of strictly, she's just not a dancer i Judge her on her dance qualities/potential and she has no potential whatsoever, as craig said to judy Murray, ''rigor mortis'' sort of dancing

i doubt she'd even care about her elimination, she already has enough around longleat, i don't even think she'll do the tour, with her busy schedule, regarding modelling, managing safari park, and longleat's events, cooking vlogs


the 4 finalists are michelle, karim, kelvin, dev ;) they are miles ahead of all the others now, and i can see a will, saffron getting to semi and quarter finals based upon their dance journeys

[Morgan.]

Youre not a judge though

[Nicky91]

Youre not a judge though

i'm my own Judge :flutter:

i have certainly got some dance and performance expertise now through being a strictly viewer for many years now

and through reading about dances on Wikipedia, yes all of the 10-dances, + contemporary dance, jazz dance, streetdance are also on there

[Black Dagger]

Cackling.

[Vanessa]

Karim deserved 9s

I agree. He was fantastic!

[Strictly Jake]

Anyone else think the show was very meh last night. Last weeks was amazing. Last night was forgettable. A shame

[Nicky91]

results show i look forward to the flamenco group dance routine, lewis capaldi performance with aljaz/janette dancing to his song


btw even though i am honest, harsh to viscountess emma, i still like her but i just don't want to make a dance seem better than it actually is, i rather stay truthful and yes i do hope she gets her breakthrough moment soon, because somehow it is there

she needs to combine fun from cha cha, with determination from tango and she's onto a winning combo

i thought the tango she took it too serious, while in cha cha i loved how she had mostly fun


btw Katya's country/western outfit looked HOT :love: mike's outfit though the cowboy from village people :laugh:

[Amy Jade]

I wish James had stayed a bit longer he seemed like a much more fun personality than David

[GoldHeart]

I wish James had stayed a bit longer he seemed like a much more fun personality than David

But they're both terrible so it made no difference :joker:

[Amy Jade]

But they're both terrible so it made no difference :joker:

I always find it more fun to watch a person who is having a good time and James seemed like he was whereas David seems like he's just after a pay packet. Just imho.

[Vanessa]

Karim and Amy have the salsa. Wooooooo. They can have fun on movie week :dance:

[Liam-]

Did Michelle say she’s being Liza next week?... Michelle is doing Cabaret? My gay little heart

[Ammi]

Did Michelle say she’s being Liza next week?... Michelle is doing Cabaret? My gay little heart

...I wonder if she was the one who chose it, to appeal to her queens also..?...amazing though, dreams do come true...:flutter:...

[Nicky91]

Michelle doing cabaret :flutter: gonna be fabulous, idk what dance cause you can do a foxtrot or a tango, or that more faster song for a charleston


Viscountess Emma making me laugh last night :love: with her ''salmon'' actually glad she made it to movie week, and i'm hoping for a nice movie that suits her smiley personality, i soooooo badly want her to have that moment, cause i agree with Motsi, if everything becomes perfect she can give us a few wow performances

i still love her, i actually admit i fancy the viscountess, i only am harsh at her dancing, but because i know she can do better, the potential being there

[rionablue]

Im hoping that the winner isnt going to be clear from the first few weeks. It would be easy to assume Kelvin or Karim might have this in the bag but last year was the BEST year in my opinion as NOBODY believed Stacy would win. I loved her from the start and was both surprised and delighted she won. So many years the people who shine at the start go on to win

[GoldHeart]

Yeah i actually thought Joe would win last year

[Nicky91]

well one of Alex, Catherine, Viscountess can still be in the running if one of them gets a wow moment soon

Stacey also started off middle of pack and started working upwards and solidly staying among the top contenders which were Faye, Ashley


so now Karim, Kelvin are this years Faye, Ashley the frontrunners

I can't see Alex & Viscountess winning tbh :shrug:

[Morgan.]

I can't see Alex & Viscountess winning tbh :shrug:

Alex could, she did win the sport relief special one year

[Vanessa]

Karim is my favourite. But I also like Michelle and Kelvin. I just want my favourite in the final. That would be enough for me.
Because the winner at this stage, it's impossible to predict.

[Nicky91]

I can't see Alex & Viscountess winning tbh :shrug:

does it look like i care tbh :bored:

for me personally it ain't about the glitterball for my sweet lady emma, her learning some dance skill as a beginner is the real win :flutter:

as if she'd be able to win over loads of viewers, since some Always are against the posh and rich contestants (like my dad who hates too posh voices)

she has won over my heart, and whenever she goes she'll follow rest of series on tv with family anyways, as a fan of the show that she is :hee:

[Nicky91]

will and janette should be in first half of the show for your kids, they'll love the fun factor of a pokemon routine :laugh:

but yeah all of those you mentioned are also very appealing for children

[Strictly Jake]

Well thankfully they don't know what pokemon is

[Vanessa]

I'm looking forward to Kung Fu Panda. Love the song and the movie :dance:

[Nicky91]

yes kung fu panda could be fun, also Karim on ITT said salsa, but the dance he's doing is a Samba, bit weird and hopefully they know since in samba you can't do lifts unlike salsa

[Nicky91]

i think i could see myself doing a bruno tomorrow, falling off my seat after will's paso :hehe:

[Strictly Jake]

I'm really really looking forward to movies night on strictly!! The pros routine at the start looks incredible

[GoldHeart]

Okay Nicky , I'm just saying I don't think she'll win .
But yeah it's all a bit of fun after all

[GoldHeart]

Alex could, she did win the sport relief special one year

I didn't realise she won a sport relief special , hopefully she lasts a while even if she doesn't win .

[Nicky91]

Okay Nicky , I'm just saying I don't think she'll win .
But yeah it's all a bit of fun after all

i am hopeful though tonight for her foxtrot, training footage looked good :)

Viscountess in her downton abbey costume :dazzler: :love:

[Nicky91]

i can feel it happening catherine makes me stand up, i can feel her slipping into my faves too

shallow rumba can be awesome (i can know via lets dance Germany earlier this year)

[Alf]

Strictly is rubbish, and it's about time it got scrapped.

Bring back The Benny Hill show.

[Vanessa]

No, i love it :dance:

[Nicky91]

Strictly is rubbish, and it's about time it got scrapped.

Bring back The Benny Hill show.

:nono: stay out of our subforum

[Vanessa]

Michelle is fantastic. She's actually one of my favourites :love:

[Denver]

That was a 9

[GiRTh]

Better than last week

[Denver]

35 in week 3 is fantastic

[RileyH]

She slayed :love:

[GiRTh]

Worried about how Anton is dressed. Think we're in for a comedy routine. Poor Emma, its a hindrance for any one good to get Anton.

[Denver]

That was good but I expected her to be a front runner?

[GiRTh]

Neil gives Alex another awful routine. There's a reason why it took him four years to get a partner.

[LukeB]

I think Alex would be great with a different partner :shrug: i can see why Neil never had a partner.

[GiRTh]

I think Alex would be great with a different partner :shrug: i can see why Neil never had a partner.She should have got Kevin. He'd give her better routines.

[LukeB]

She should have got Kevin. He'd give her better routines.

agreed or another male pro. the pairings this year have been a bit odd.

[GiRTh]

:laugh::laugh:

[GiRTh]

agreed or another male pro. the pairings this year have been a bit odd.Kevin or Gio would have been better for her.

[Denver]

That was terrible

[GiRTh]

We love a trier.

[Denver]

I would give that a 2

[RileyH]

Karim is excellent

[Denver]

That was an 8 for me

[GiRTh]

That was great. If any dance deserves on week three, its that.

[RileyH]

Those scores were ridiculously harsh :umm2:

[Braden]

Mood: whenever Shirley snaps at the crowd and says "hang on a minute."

[GiRTh]

Under marking Karim might backfire.

[Beso]

Michelle is fantastic. She's actually one of my favourites :love:

She was fantastic tonight

[GiRTh]

Hope Johnnes doesn't stitch Cath up like last week.

[RileyH]

That was beautiful :love:

[GiRTh]

Whats with all these contemporary Rumbas? Pros should stick to the basics. Len would be going mental.

[GiRTh]

Better than last week cuz she did less dancing. H

[Denver]

That was way over marked

[RileyH]

So pleased for her <33

[GiRTh]

Way over marked but I like Cath so dont mind.

[GiRTh]

A Pokemon Paso Doble. What could go wrong? :shrug:

[Amy Jade]

Wow this is literally car crash

[GiRTh]

The curse of Manrara. Janette strikes again.

[Amy Jade]

Jeanette's outfit is the worst I have ever seen on SCD

[Denver]

The curse of Manrara. Janette strikes again.

She only has a job because of her hubby

[GiRTh]

She only has a job because of her hubby:clap1:

[Beso]

Someone needs the pity vote ...

[GiRTh]

How much training has Kelvin had?

[Denver]

How much training has Kelvin had?

2 weeks less then the others

[Denver]

Deserves 9s across the board

[Denver]

Wow

[RileyH]

Shook at the 10s :love:

[Beso]

His kids got 4 of those points.

[GiRTh]

2 weeks less then the othersNo way. He's trained.

[Liam-]

Kelvin didn’t have 2 weeks less than everyone else, he had the same amount of time to learn his first routine

[Denver]

Kelvin didn’t have 2 weeks less than everyone else, he had the same amount of time to learn his first routine

The others were doing group training

[Beso]

Why the run at the end?

[RileyH]

Emma :love:

[GiRTh]

Was that Cameron Diaz? In the audience?

[Amy Jade]

I like Emma and I liked that dances concept

[GiRTh]

This is gonna be terrible.

[Denver]

It is a terrible dancer

[LaLaLand]

Oh Anneka :skull: :laugh3:

[RileyH]

Ffff I love her

[Jøsh]

that was disappointing

[LukeB]

Anneka won

[Denver]

She doesn't even deserve a score

[GiRTh]

Kevs not making the final this year.

[Amy Jade]

It was fun, is she the best? No. She deserves to stay over the bores

[RileyH]

She makes me cackle lmao

[Denver]

She has the personality of dish water

[Amy Jade]

She has the personality of dish water

I'd rather her personality to yours.

[GiRTh]

Is 11 the lowest ever score? Quentin Wilson got single figures, I think, but 11 is as low as I can remember.

[Denver]

I'd rather her personality to yours.

At least I have a personality unlike you dear

[Beso]

Is 11 the lowest ever score? Quentin Wilson got single figures, I think, but 11 is as low as I can remember.

I'm not even sure someone on strictly tibb got that low.

[LukeB]

Anneka did fine, she isn't a experience dancer like Kelvin and Karim are.

[Denver]

Is 11 the lowest ever score? Quentin Wilson got single figures, I think, but 11 is as low as I can remember.

David got 10 last week Quentin got 8

[GiRTh]

Corrected - Quentin Wilson got ten in his only ever dance. So 11 is the next lowest. History being made by Anneka.

[Denver]

Imagine dancing to the Hunger Games and not Chosing The Hanging Tree

[Beso]

Keep your feet up darling.

[Morgan.]

Corrected - Quentin Wilson got ten in his only ever dance. So 11 is the next lowest. History being made by Anneka.

I think James Cracknell got 11 in week 1

And David James got 10 last week

[LukeB]

Should have chosen The Hanging Tree tbh

[Barry.]

Which soundtrack was that on?

[GiRTh]

Forgot David and James have been so bad. Eleven in week three has to be the lowest ever.

[Amy Jade]

Anneka did fine, she isn't a experience dancer like Kelvin and Karim are.

Exactly. People are praising the crap out of Karim but he's literally a professionally trained dancer of course he's good.

[LukeB]

Which soundtrack was that on?

Catching Fire.. Lorde covered it

[Denver]

Exactly. People are praising the crap out of Karim but he's literally a professionally trained dancer of course he's good.

So you think trained dancers shouldn't get praise? But you was crying last year over the viewers not like Ashley

[Amy Jade]

At least I have a personality unlike you dear

If you say so Adam keep up the act.

[Beso]

Oh God Tina Turner is next

[Beso]

If you say so Adam keep up the act.

:joker:

Nice one :hee:

[Amy Jade]

So you think trained dancers shouldn't get praise? But you was crying last year over the viewers not like Ashley

No actually if you look back my issue was the same as with Alexandra, at first yes they had an advantage but as the weeks went on they were vilified in the press and shown no support when they were clearly better than some people saved.

[GiRTh]

:joker:

He's brave.

[Liam-]

I hope Karim and Kelvin are treated like Ashley, Debbie Faye and Alexandra were

[LukeB]

Exactly. People are praising the crap out of Karim but he's literally a professionally trained dancer of course he's good.

:clap1:

She's trying and having fun. she never danced in her life so she's doing good. I don't mind experience dancers but Aneeka does deserve some praise for trying.

[Amy Jade]

I hope Karim and Kelvin are treated like Ashley, Debbie Faye and Alexandra were

They won't be. Guaranteed.

[RileyH]

MESS the fall

[Denver]

Mess did she fall over?

[RileyH]

Katya is stunning

[Beso]

Not the ending he hoped for.

[Denver]

I hope Karim and Kelvin are treated like Ashley, Debbie Faye and Alexandra were

Debbie and Faye were adored by the public

[Liam-]

They won't be. Guaranteed.

The same as Danny Mac wasn’t, it’s hypocrisy at its finest, either experienced dancers are okay or they aren’t, a bit of consistency would be nice

[LukeB]

Debbie and Faye were adored by the public

They also got slated for having experience.
