[Vanessa]

Good theme. I like it.

[The Slim Reaper]

I'd better see one song in particular in this round, and whoever gets the dance I feel best suits it, will be docked an automatic one point penalty if they don't.

[Liam-]

That’s what I thought the theme was this round and I had the perfect song :(

Thanks Jake, you too

[Cherie]

That's very unfair, you said 12 o clock.

There hasn't been a single vote since late yesterday afternoon, it should close at 5 on the same day tbh

[Cherie]

Thanks for your vote btw but I think you were voting to evict :oh:

[Beso]

Slim hasnt voted.

[Beso]

Thanks for your vote btw but I think you were voting to evict :oh:

No I wasnt...I read the rules and would have asked for it to be changed if I had.

[Alf]

What exactly are the rules for this round.

Does it have to be specifically a name of a person? or could you pick a song like "Come what May?" which isn't talking about a person, but the word "May" can be a person's name.

How do the judges interpret it?

[Cherie]

No I wasnt...I read the rules and would have asked for it to be changed if I had.

aw thank you :love:

[Vanessa]

Oh no Kaz. I don't want her to go. :bawling:

Your song was brilliant. I loved it.

[The Slim Reaper]

Good, cause the summer song I had doesnt fit my ****ty dance I've been given....who would you.have voted for slim

I still wasn't sure. I think Kaz was the right person to leave though, as through no fault of her own she hasn't really been involved, so wouldn't have been fair to the others.

I shall put my feet up and do this right now. I know every song very well except one which I've never heard before so I'll listen to that first. Some belting choices that really fit the dances. I'm dusting off my ten paddle.

At least you don't score as ridiculous as Vanessa,,,I've only ever seen her give 9s and 10s.

It doesn't even feel like a competition, more like a rimming one.

I'm at work. I will score when I finish. After 5:pm.

[Vanessa]

I haven't come across a song that my opinion is worth less than 9.
When I come across it I will score it 8 or less.

[Vanessa]

Quite a few have potential from what I've seen.

[Lewismacfarlane]

This will be my last week I think

[Kate!]

This will be my last week I think

Think positive lovely. Xx

[Strictly Jake]

Sorry it's looking unlikely we are going to have the show tonight. Slim and Vanessa need to send in but we can probably have it tomorrow instead

also looking forward to seeing what everyone else submitted this week

[Kate!]

Show today?

[Beso]

Are we waiting on Slim?

Its Sunday, sunday is always show day.

[Strictly Jake]

Slim are you around?

[Vanessa]

I'm at work. Will catch up later.
I've tried to be fair with the scores. But it's not easy.

[Strictly Jake]

Slim hasn't been around since Friday tea time. So does he come on at the weekends? If not then we won't be getting a show today either

[Kate!]

Slim hasn't been around since Friday tea time. So does he come on at the weekends? If not then we won't be getting a show today either

Can you get a stand in judge?

[Strictly Jake]

Can you get a stand in judge?

I can wait for him. Besides I've got a raging headache now so will probably be a Monday show anyway

[Cherie]

Can you get a stand in judge?

Let’s wait for Slim, I don’t think he is normally on at weekends and if he is probably didn’t expect to have to judge, and it would be unfair to replace him, a show tomorrow will be fine

[Cherie]

I can wait for him. Besides I've got a raging headache now so will probably be a Monday show anyway

Hope you feel better soon Jake

[Kate!]

Let’s wait for Slim, I don’t think he is normally on at weekends and if he is probably didn’t expect to have to judge, and it would be unfair to replace him, a show tomorrow will be fine

It wouldn't be replacing him though? It would just be for one show.

Get well soon Jake. Xx

[Vanessa]

Whatever you guys decide, I'm fine with it.

[Cherie]

It wouldn't be replacing him though? It would just be for one show.

Get well soon Jake. Xx

That is what I meant replacing him for one show makes no sense when he will be back on tomorrow :shrug:

[Beso]

He could have let us know.:cloud:

[Niamh.]

That is what I meant replacing him for one show makes no sense when he will be back on tomorrow :shrug:Agree.

[AnnieK]

Agree.

Me too

[Kate!]

Yes but I'm impatient.

[Vanessa]

A nice song while we're waiting

[ThomasC]

Happy to stand in as judge and bring some real realism to the show.

[ThomasC]

A nice song while we're waiting
1vrEljMfXYo

I would score this a 3.

It very lame. I could almost doze off.

[Vanessa]

If Slim comes on he can judge. It won't take him long, there are some great songs.

[Beso]

Happy to stand in as judge and bring some real realism to the show.




Makes sense....

Send thomas the songs so we can get this moving again.

I've got work at 3, so I would like a show before that.

[Nicky91]

also i don't trust Thomas as a judge, not after that incident in Kate's game, of not listening to the songs and just scoring randomly


and i can be a patient man, i have also other fun things to do, and lesser fun things (like today am busy cleaning my room, changed my bedding, afterwards i am going outside ofc, since its beautiful weather)

I don't think any judge should score less than 5 if the song fits the theme.

The theme for the round was songs with names in the title wasn’t it?

Yes but someone had asked earlier if you could use a word that was a name like May for example but it was the other meaning of may being used in the title like - Come what may

[The Slim Reaper]

The theme for the round was songs with names in the title wasn’t it?

What exactly are the rules for this round.

Does it have to be specifically a name of a person? or could you pick a song like "Come what May?" which isn't talking about a person, but the word "May" can be a person's name.

Next is Lewis and Amy with an American Smooth to Mandy
8ShlE-xobyw

Vanessa: Very romantic. Amazing routine. You have a great partnership. 10!

Score: 26/30

Vanessa: I loved this. You're showing us exactly what you're capable of. I'm impressed! 9.

Slim: Not my favourite, but a solid effort that met the brief. 8.

Kate: And an immaculate way to close the show. Yes you've guessed it. 10!

Score: 27/30

[Strictly Jake]

Kate also wants to say this

I could do nothing to fault absolutely any of these song choices for their matching dances. I found myself handing out 10s and couldn't stop. Belter after belter got me singing along and tapping my feet etc. You've all outdone yourselves. I'm lost for words. Xx

[Beso]

We defo need guest judges.

We defo need guest judges.

Just wait till I go offline for 15 minutes, and my colleagues will be desperate to get a guest judge in :smug:

[Kate!]

Well done everyone. I had a lovely time listening to all your songs. Bliss.

Docking a few points because the song doesn’t fit the theme exactly how you want it to yeah, understandable, 1 point even though the songs fits the dance perfectly is actually wild to me

[Lewismacfarlane]

I've survived again

I am saving you.

It wasn't about it not fitting perfectly though. I think you can look through my scores and see that I judged each song on it's merits. Songs that I didn't particularly like were still given decent scores if they fit the brief.

[Cherie]

Thank you judges :douf:

waiting for Slim paid off

[The Slim Reaper]

Just a reminder that these songs exist.

I wanted to choose the Beatles Eleanor Rigby if I had an appropriate dance. But the randomised wheel gave me the jive

The Aretha version is perfect for the jive.

The Aretha version is perfect for the jive.

The theme was songs with names in the title, you decided to add your own rules to it, which fair enough whatever, a 1 for a song that fit the dance perfectly is mind boggling, even if it didn’t fit your personal extra rules for the theme

[Strictly Jake]

The Aretha version is perfect for the jive.

Damn. Didn't know it existed

[Niamh.]

None of the Beatles songs would have suited mine either

[ThomasC]

Docking a few points because the song doesn’t fit the theme exactly how you want it to yeah, understandable, 1 point even though the songs fits the dance perfectly is actually wild to me

I agree.

I wouldn't have even given a 1 and I'm a very harsh judge.

I would have given a 1 just for effort and additional points on top based on the song and theme.

[Vanessa]

It fits the theme. Rose is a woman's name. And it was my favourite. So I gave it a 10.

[Lewismacfarlane]

Vanessa thanks for your comments

[Vanessa]

Vanessa thanks for your comments

You're welcome.

[Strictly Jake]

As Cherie chose the theme for week 2 we go on who's the second on the leaderboard to choose the theme and that is Alf. So what's your choice of theme Alf?

[The Slim Reaper]

I didn't add my own rules to it. Without Alf asking the question, I wouldn't have even given it a second thought. But then as soon as the rules were established what was i supposed to do? Same as Brexit week with Kaz using Nickys sister instead of Irish/British. As soon as Parm pointed it out, I agreed with the point being made.

I had a random dream the other night about the Brexit week we had. And in the dream people were saying they had got Imelda may and Caro Emerald mixed up. I've only just remembered it now you mentioned it and I've forgot to look of Imelda may is Irish

Just done a Google and yes Imelda May is Irish. Hmm maybe that's why I let that song be used then as I got mixed up between Imelda and Caro

[Niamh.]

But Rose is a woman's name. So it does fit the theme.

The point was a question was asked earlier if you can use a word that's both a persons name and has a different meaning if the meaning in the song isn't the persons name and Slim had said that he wasn't going to say that it fit the theme if it wasn't using the name meaning

Imelda was used in one of the other series under the Irish artist rounds

[Strictly Jake]

I must say I'm loving this series so far. We've only just had week 3 and that was all in the space of a week and there's been so much chatter regarding it. It's good to see
