Im this week's Craig with some of my scores

[Cherie]

Im this week's Craig with some of my scores

oh okay we are very disappointed in you
:fist: dont forget if it meets the theme you can't go below a 5 ....and ideally you should give at least a 1 to the song if it fits the dance and have a good reason for your low scores other than you didnt like the song or the artist..we gave Nicky and Kate hell, you wont be getting away with it either :laugh:

[Cherie]

I have a feeling you wont like mine but hey ho

[Cherie]

sounds like we might have a show today though :dance:

[Lewismacfarlane]

Im normally a high score but 2 or 3 a bit lower

[Cherie]

Im normally a high score but 2 or 3 a bit lower

oh thats not so bad then, look forward to the scores

[Lewismacfarlane]

I just hope everyone forgives me

[Vanessa]

I've been very generous. You're welcome :hee:

[Vanessa]

[Kate!]

[Strictly Jake]

What times best for everyone for the show today? How's 7pm?

[Niamh.]

I'll probably be eating dinner at that time but I can catch up whenever I get to sit down!

[Alf]

Anytime after 2pm is OK by me.

[Vanessa]

There were some interesting choices.
I've been very impressed overall.

[Niamh.]

I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone chose for Irish Artists

[Vanessa]

I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone chose for Irish Artists

A great theme. I enjoyed listening to the songs

[Niamh.]

BL58-Sh94ms

My mom loves him

[Vanessa]

Shame nobody has picked my favourite irish artists.
It would have been an automatic 10 :laugh:

[Alf]

I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone chose for Irish ArtistsFirst time I ever went to pantomime Dana was playing the part of Snow White. I assume it was 1982 because this song was around then.

[Niamh.]

Shame nobody has picked my favourite irish artists.
It would have been an automatic 10 :laugh:

who's that?

[Vanessa]

who's that?

U2

[Beso]

who's that?

She better not say U2

[Beso]

Doh.

[Vanessa]

She better not say U2

It is :joker:

[Niamh.]

U2

She better not say U2

:eyes:

[Niamh.]

I wouldn't imagine U2 songs would fit many of the dances tbf

[Vanessa]

I've loved U2 since I was little.
I've also seen them live here in London :flutter:

[Beso]

I purposely didnt pick U2 cause I thought the judges might know it was from me.

[Beso]

https://youtu.be/HvBgRSSlVBA

I should have used this.

[Cherie]

I purposely didnt pick U2 cause I thought the judges might know it was from me.

someone else should have picked it for the double bluff :laugh:

[Alf]

No U2 song I could think of fitted my dance.

I actually wanted to pick the Boyzone version of the Cat Stevens song Father and Son because it's quite an emotional song and I wanted to make Vanessa cry, but that didn't fit my dance either.

[Kate!]

I've sent my comments and scores.

I've been very fulsome with my praise. This is great. You've all given me your everything with these routines. An outstanding quarter Final. Xx

[Alf]

I'm ready to go now whenever you are.

[Vanessa]

No U2 song I could think of fitted my dance.

I actually wanted to pick the Boyzone version of the Cat Stevens song Father and Son because it's quite an emotional song and I wanted to make Vanessa cry, but that didn't fit my dance either.

You know me so well :joker:

[Alf]

On the fourth of July, 1806
We set sail from the sweet cove of Cork
We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks
For the Grand City Hall in New York

[Alf]

We had one million bags of the best Sligo Rags
We had two million barrels of stone
We had three million sides of old blind horses hides
We had four million barrels of bones
We had five million hogs
Six million dogs
Seven million barrels of porter
We had eight million bails of old nanny goats' tails
In the hold of The Irish Rover

On the fourth of July, 1806

I'm thinking "Cove of Cork" should be Cobh of Cork (pronounced like cove but it's the name of town and port in Cork)

[Alf]

I'm thinking "Cove of Cork" should be Cobh of Cork (pronounced like cove but it's the name of town and port in Cork)I only speak English.

[Niamh.]

a bit of Trivia Cobh was the last stop the Titanic made

[Alf]

a bit of Trivia Cobh was the last stop the Titanic madeSo much for the saying "Luck of the Irish"

[Niamh.]

So much for the saying "Luck of the Irish"

They would have been lucky if they just stayed here :hehe:

No U2 song I could think of fitted my dance.

I went all in on the make me cry angle.:joker:

[Vanessa]

A few of them were so emotional. I like it when a song makes me feel something.

[Vanessa]

I had a favourite. And it wasn't one of the emotional songs.

[Cherie]

I had a favourite. And it wasn't one of the emotional songs.

Yay not too keen on trying to woo the judges :idc:

[Alf]

Hey Jake, I have one thing to say

[Kate!]

I don't want to be holding everyone up though

You could pm Jake a list of order of preference for your vote in the poll and he could add it on??

[Alf]

I don't want to be holding everyone up thoughIt's Bank Holiday weekend so people could be busy anyway. We'll wait for you to come back from your dirty weekend.

[Vanessa]

Oh right [emoji28]

I knew you'd be ok. As you were already quite high on the scores.

[Vanessa]

I'm out on the bank holiday, but I have my phone with me.
So I don't mind either way.

[Niamh.]

You could pm Jake a list of order of preference for your vote in the poll and he could add it on??I wouldn't know the songs though so I couldn't give a list of preferences

[Alf]

Are we agreed that we'll have the next show on Tuesday?

It also gives you more time to look for a perfect song choice.

[Cherie]

Congrats Liam...confused as Lewis voted for me in the poll...:skull:


Good luck to all of you :love:

[Cherie]

What the trick then Jake...better be good

[Strictly Jake]

The treat would have been 4 people make it into the final. The trick is that 3 make it into the final so you've just made a double elimination happen in the semi final!

I will do it on Tuesday. Let's habe a weekend break for all the contestants to rest their dancing feet. Bet they are bleeding by nowThanks Jake [emoji3590]

[Vanessa]

Have a nice weekend, everyone!

[Alf]

Send me my dances Jake, I wanna get choosing.

[Strictly Jake]

I'll send the dances for you all tomorrow morning to have a good think about over the weekend

[Lewismacfarlane]

Can I be a judge next series Jake

[Vanessa]

I love being a judge. :love:

[Kate!]

I love being a judge. :love:

I'm really enjoying it too. :hee:

The contestants are all amazing.

[Strictly Jake]

Can I be a judge next series Jake

Yes. You can also be a judge for the rest of the series

[Barry.]

The treat would have been 4 people make it into the final. The trick is that 3 make it into the final so you've just made a double elimination happen in the semi final!

What a trick! Good luck everyone

[Alf]

So how is it going to work?

Whoever tops the leaderboard is through to the final. That means four go into the poll vote. What happens then? because the judges usually have to choose out of the bottom two.

[Lewismacfarlane]

I'll judge rest of the series

[Beso]

Sorry to see you leave Niamh. On Irish week too!!

But you get to judge the semi final. You also get to pick from the trick or treat box. Noones chosen trick yet

Awwww.

[Beso]

The judges need to be more harsh...too many tens.

[Beso]

Cherie, please judge

[Vanessa]

I just can't be mean :laugh:

[Beso]

Default
Cant believe lewis changed his public vote choice in his final decision..

Hes had an awful lot of power this series after having the power to send someone straight through last week, hes been allowed to do the same this week.


I think cheries been hard done by.

Lewis changed his vote after being given the power, YET AGAIN..to influence the whole game massively.


Cherie, you can take my place in the semi, I will guest judge this week.

[Lewismacfarlane]

Im allowed to judge again right

[Beso]

Im allowed to judge again right

No, lord sugar has spoken

[Beso]

I want to change my theme before the dances go out..


I want to make it contestants song choice.

[Beso]

What to?

Just everyone picks a song they want from all the songs in the world..

I dint want an advantage in the semis..

Makes it an equal playing field.

[Kate!]

No, lord sugar has spoken

:nono:

In Lewis defence he was torn who to choose just like we all were. Both Liam and Cherie were superb. Lewis chose based on all performances so far as to who had the edge. He chose Liam. It was all fair and above board.

I'll let u judge cherie

[Beso]

It's always been the person out is the next games guest judge..

I did suggest everyone just keeps being a judge, but Jake said no, so therefore you must take Lewis place as guest judge.

[Vanessa]

I think four judges would be fine.
But it's up to Jake really.

[Cherie]

He should, his main worry was that he would have to wait on the judges for too long if there was too many, but I'm not seeing an issue with that this time round.

[Niamh.]

Any chance of getting the dances today Jake, I need to get mine done before I go away tomorrow morning

[Strictly Jake]

Yes I can. Yeah I'll go ahead with 5 judges

[Strictly Jake]

Dances have been sent

[Strictly Jake]

So how is it going to work?

Whoever tops the leaderboard is through to the final. That means four go into the poll vote. What happens then? because the judges usually have to choose out of the bottom two.

Well...

The bottom three scorers on the leaderboard will be sent to the forum vote. This poll will decide which person to send through to the final!

[Lewismacfarlane]

5 judges

[Niamh.]

What is Contestants choice? Does that mean it can be literally any song?

[Beso]
