Strictly Tibb Dancing: Series Ten

[Kate!]

Have all the judges scored?

[Strictly Jake]

Im in Winter Wonderland. It's so beautiful in the evening!

Hyde Park? I'm jealous. Lovely Christmas markets. Ice rink. And loads of rides. Pretty expensive though

[Strictly Jake]

Have all the judges scored?

Just Liam to go

[Vanessa]

Hyde Park? I'm jealous. Lovely Christmas markets. Ice rink. And loads of rides. Pretty expensive though

Yes. I only went to one ride, the Haunted Mansion. It's my favourite. Now I'm listening to live music :dance:

[Vanessa]

They're singing Eros Ramazzotti. Ah, the memories :flutter:

[Strictly Jake]

Are you able to judge today Liam?

[Liam-]

Yeah you’ll get them today

[Kate!]

A show tonight?

[Strictly Jake]

A show tonight?

Hopefully

[Parmy]

Everything's set and ready to go..cmon jake. Tie up those loose ends.

[Liam-]

I may or may not have given my first 10

[Vanessa]

It's getting rather cold at night. I have my duvet on. :laugh:

[Strictly Jake]

Week 6 is Eurovision week. But who will do a boom bang a banging performance and who will leave the judges making their mind up. Time to find out!

[Strictly Jake]

Slim and Katya Paso Doble to The Voice
TpdRtIM45ts

Parmnion: It certainly had its moments, but they were few and far between, the dance would be ok if you were dancing to her voice. Good ending, but the tune in the background didnt excel as much as I wanted. I like my Pasos, so I'm generously giving this an 8.

Niamh: Beautiful song of course but I think this contestant is taking the piss matching it to the Paso Doble, bit of a waste of my time judging it tbqh I don't know what's the minimum? 4?

Liam: 6

Score: 18

[Strictly Jake]

Kate and Graziano Cha Cha to Soleyoh
N4S4m9R-ffA

Parmnion: A very good cha cha, footwork was 2nd rate sometimes, and slightly repetitive. But the song mentions the cha cha which annoyed me, so I'm docking a point from the original 10. So this song gets a 9.

Niamh: Yes! Love this one, don't know the song but it worked so well, great job a 10!

Liam: 8

Score: 27

[Strictly Jake]

Nicky and Dianne Street Dance to Lock me in
zXiZAbqETvk

Parmnion: No pazzazz to pop the body to. 6

Niamh: That was a lot of fun, good job! 9!

Liam: 6

Score: 21

[Strictly Jake]

Vanessa and Giovanni Charleston to Still in love with you
s6r1tUhl1cQ

Parmnion: What the hell is this song. It fits perfectly, best of the night. Really enjoyed the slight mix of techno...10!

Niamh: This was great, don't know that song at all but it was perfect with the Charleston 10!

Liam: 8

Score: 28

[Strictly Jake]

Jake and Nancy Argentine Tango to Diva
1qTHrANXIK4

Parmnion: Far too fast, not enough breaks in the song..4

Niamh: I can imagine the Tango must have been a difficult one to get this week, it matched OK, 6

Liam: Can see the potential, but the chorus doesn’t fit an Argentine tango. 7

Score: 17

[Strictly Jake]

Annie and Gorka Viennese Waltz to In your eyes
gAKqQJshR_c

Parmnion: American smooth maybe, but Venetian waltz. It just doesn't cut it...5

Niamh: Second Irish winner of the night, this is a much better job, fit beautifully 10!

Liam: gorgeous! 10!

Score: 25

[Strictly Jake]

Lewis and Amy Theatre Jazz to Puppet on a string
Ga1kMdJCc_Q

Parmnion: Very good. 8

Niamh: This was inspired, brilliant job another 10!

Liam: 9

Score: 27

[Strictly Jake]

Cherie and Johannes Contemporary to Euphoria
Pfo-8z86x80

Parmnion: Another outstanding entry. 9

Niamh: Good choice, well done! 9

Liam: 7

Score: 25

Well done Ness, how will this comp conclude Jake?

[Vanessa]

That was the first song I found. I thought it fitted perfectly, so I chose it. Very underrated, deserved to do better on Eurovision.

[Strictly Jake]

A few more shows yet

[Strictly Jake]

Wait. Have we had a movie week round? I think I would like that better.

Nope we haven't had movie round. Good choice

[Vanessa]

Nope we haven't had movie round. Good choice

Something for everyone to enjoy. Who doesn't like movies? :blush:

[Vanessa]

Any movie. Cinema, TV or streaming services.

[Parmy]

Well.done vanessa. That song is the best song so far this series in my humble opinion.

I look forward to disco day.


Let's crack on folks.

[Parmy]

Movies is even better.

Let's crack on.

[Parmy]

My 5 favourite films I can remember of the top of my head.

Platoon
Brooklyn
One flew over the cuckoos nest
Young guns
Good fellas

[Vanessa]

My all time favourite movie is The Godfather.

[Vanessa]

Well.done vanessa. That song is the best song so far this series in my humble opinion.

I look forward to disco day.


Let's crack on folks.

Thank you so much.

[Strictly Jake]

Can I please request as there are literally millions of movies out there. Please don't go for obvious choices or songs that have been used on strictly come dancing. Originality is so much better. Anyone go for dirty dancing I've had the time of my life and the like I won't accept this week!

[Vanessa]

Yes, something that hasn't been used before. There's loads to choose from.

[The Slim Reaper]

:joker:

[The Slim Reaper]

Congrats, Ness. Absolutely smashed it.

[Vanessa]

Than you :blush:

[Parmy]

Parmy keeping slims score looking respectable...who would have thought it.

[Cherie]

Parmy keeping slims score looking respectable...who would have thought it.

You da man

[Nicky91]

my choice was best possible one for streetdance though?


i was also considering Little Big - Uno, or Subwoolfer - Give that wolf a banana, but after carefully listening through them, they fit other dances more


am happy with my scores

[Vanessa]

Im at work, so I can't do this until 5 pm.
But I will definitely send my song today.

[Vanessa]

Did you mean to post this here :eyes:

My mistake. Could you delete it, please?

[Vanessa]

I just wanted to know if instrumental songs were allowed.

[Niamh.]

My mistake. Could you delete it, please?

Well I can but I'm a judge and I know which one will be yours now, i think Jake should give you another dance tbh

[Vanessa]

Well I can but I'm a judge and I know which one will be yours now, i think Jake should give you another dance tbh

I've just asked him.
It was my fault and I messed up. Maybe I should leave.
I feel so bad now :bawling:

[Niamh.]

I've just asked him.
It was my fault and I messed up. Maybe I should leave.
I feel so bad now :bawling:

Don't be silly, just get another dance, it's no big deal!

[Vanessa]

Don't be silly, just get another dance, it's no big deal!

I've messaged him.
If it's not possible I'll just do the tango.
It was my fault.

[Niamh.]

I've messaged him.
If it's not possible I'll just do the tango.
It was my fault.

I'm sure it won't be a big deal to get a new dance, it was a simple mistake, don't worry about it!

[Vanessa]

I have to go back to work. I'm so so sorry everyone.

[The Slim Reaper]

Ness, chill. it's ok, not like you murdered anyone. I'm sure Jake will sort something else out for you so I wouldn't get stressed or upset about it.

[Cherie]

Dont worry Ness, there wont be a show until Monday anyway so you have plenty time to get a new dance

[Strictly Jake]

Oh Ness don't get stressed out about it. It's honestly no problem. It's very easy for me to change the dance for you

[Strictly Jake]

Just Annie and Vanessa to submit

[Parmy]

Vanessa....3

[Parmy]

Annie 2

[AnnieK]

Annie 2

:fist: I've sent it now.

To be fair, a 2 from you is not that far off what you usually give me anyway :laugh:

[Parmy]

:fist: I've sent it now.

To be fair, a 2 from you is not that far off what you usually give me anyway :laugh:

How very dare you.. :hee:

[Vanessa]

I got home from work at 6 pm yesterday.
It was a long busy day and I was exhausted.
I was looking for songs during my break and when I was walking from work.
But I think I pushed myself too much and felt under pressure.

[AnnieK]

How very dare you.. :hee:

:tongue: True though :dance2:

[Vanessa]

Nor expecting much this week. I chose the song in less than an hour.
Hopefully I will have more time for the next round.

[Cherie]

Nor expecting much this week. I chose the song in less than an hour.
Hopefully I will have more time for the next round.

Niamh isn’t around at weekends to score so you have loads of time

[Strictly Jake]

Do you need more time Vanessa or are you happy with your choice?

[Vanessa]

Do you need more time Vanessa or are you happy with your choice?

I think I need more time. If that's ok.
I'm very undecided between a few songs.

[Niamh.]

Like Cherie said I can't judge till Monday anyway so take your time Ness

[Strictly Jake]

I think I need more time. If that's ok.
I'm very undecided between a few songs.

Yep that's fine

[Parmy]

The useless judge scored ages ago by the way.

[Nicky91]

next week should be TikTok Week (hopefully)


that could be sooooooo my week towards a perfect score, i am a tiktok song expert :smug:

[Niamh.]

The useless judge scored ages ago by the way.We haven't even got the songs yet

[Strictly Jake]

Parmnion and Niamh are you able to score this afternoon by any chance? Would love a show tonight

[Vanessa]

Sorry if I've been a bit negative this week.
I've had a really bad day on Friday.
And one of my co-workers is always winding me up.
Making things worse. I snapped at her. :fist:

[Vanessa]

Good luck for tonight everyone.
I'll be here later. The footie is on, but I'll keep an eye on the thread.

[Niamh.]

Sorry if I've been a bit negative this week.
I've had a really bad day on Friday.

Liam: 9

Go on Parm, be mean :laugh: I'd rather you be honest.

[Kate!]

My choice of theme. Divas. Madonna Kylie etc etc etc.

[Kate!]

Or should I just do Madonna v Kylie week?

[Vanessa]

Diva week sounds good!

[Strictly Jake]

Or should I just do Madonna v Kylie week?

No divas week opens it up more

[Kate!]

Ok. Divas week it is. :love:

[Vanessa]

Go on Parm, be mean :laugh: I'd rather you be honest.

It's hard to find the perfect song.
But I thought you did well, I love the song.

[Parmy]

Go on Parm, be mean :laugh: I'd rather you be honest.

I got 10s when I entered this for the quickstep..

4iZqXoDKfY8

[Parmy]

I will be marking 0s for any entry that has appeared on any series of tibb strictly come dancing in the past.

[Vanessa]

I'll try to look for something original.
At this stage I'm pushing myself.

[Kate!]

I'll try to look for something original.
At this stage I'm pushing myself.

Me too. Its not easy. We'll do our best Ness.

[Parmy]

Push yourself ladies.

Its quarter finals time.

[Niamh.]

I will be marking 0s for any entry that has appeared on any series of tibb strictly come dancing in the past.How are you even going to check that, it would take forever trawling through threads [emoji28]

[AnnieK]

I got 10s when I entered this for the quickstep..

4iZqXoDKfY8

But in all honesty, what does your entry have to do with my entry for movie week? :laugh:
I really don't care but the last 2 dances ive had 5s from you but 9s and 10s from the others so not sure why I'm getting it wrong with you :hmm:

[AnnieK]

I will be marking 0s for any entry that has appeared on any series of tibb strictly come dancing in the past.

In that case,I'm out. I haven't got time to trawl for songs and then check a zillion threads to see if a songs be used before. I have a kid, job and life lol.

A 0 is good for me

[Parmy]

How are you even going to check that, it would take forever trawling through threads [emoji28]

I've already done it and have a list ready.

I also have all my entries on a playlist for my walks.

That's dedication. I've not even got a list. Any chance I can be sent that via a pm?

[Vanessa]

What's the second theme?

[Parmy]

That's dedication. I've not even got a list. Any chance I can be sent that via a pm?

After the champion if champions I will.

[Kate!]

What's the second theme?

Slim has to choose it.

[Strictly Jake]

Where is slim. He doesn't know he came second on the leaderboard yet

[The Slim Reaper]

Motown and Northern Soul will be the 2nd theme.

[Vanessa]

Motown and Northern Soul will be the 2nd theme.

Great theme!

[Niamh.]

Motown and Northern Soul will be the 2nd theme.

Looking forward to these songs

[Vanessa]

I'm not working until Friday, so I can give this 100%

[Kate!]

Motown and Northern Soul will be the 2nd theme.

Oh great choice

[Strictly Jake]

Motown and Northern Soul will be the 2nd theme.

I'm still not completely sure what Northern soul is...would this be two different themes?

[The Slim Reaper]

I'm still not completely sure what Northern soul is...would this be two different themes?

It's basically the UK version of Motown, so it's the same exact theme.

[Vanessa]

It's basically the UK version of Motown, so it's the same exact theme.

Do we have to search for Northern soul or Motown Northern soul?

[The Slim Reaper]

Do we have to search for Northern soul or Motown Northern soul?

You can just search for Motown if that's what you're already comfortable with. If you aren't familiar with northern soul, then you can leave it alone entirely if you wish. I was just trying to broaden the scope a bit, but you don't have to pick a NS song.

[Strictly Jake]

Divas and Motown/Northern Soul will be the themes for the quarter final. You will be getting your dances soon.

[Nicky91]

i'm liking those theme choices :love:

[Vanessa]

Divas and Motown/Northern Soul will be the themes for the quarter final. You will be getting your dances soon.

Does it have to be Motown or northern soul?
:suspect:

[The Slim Reaper]

Does it have to be Motown or northern soul?
:suspect:

It can be either.

[The Slim Reaper]

To make it easier, would folks prefer Motown, and standard soul from the Motown era?

[Vanessa]

I don't mind.

[Strictly Jake]

Yeah to make it easier lets just call it Motown

Divas and Motown

[Niamh.]

Some divas are Motown and some Motown are Divas

[Vanessa]

I have a question.
Is the first song divas and the second Motown?

[Niamh.]

I have a question.
Is the first song divas and the second Motown?

Pretty sure in rounds like these you can choose whichever dance for whichever theme?

[Vanessa]

Pretty sure in rounds like these you can choose whichever dance for whichever theme?

Can we?

[Niamh.]

Can we?

Unless Jake actually said that each dance was for a specific one then I would say yeah

[Cherie]

Sent

[Strictly Jake]

Can we?

Whichever you want to do for each theme

[Vanessa]

I will be marking 0s for any entry that has appeared on any series of tibb strictly come dancing in the past.

What if it's the same artist, but different song?

[Lewismacfarlane]

I can't believe how well im doing this time

[Vanessa]

I think i have my two songs. Still want to think about it a bit more,but I think I'm all set.

[Kate!]

Jake I'm only going to be able to send songs tomorrow night. Will that be ok?

[Niamh.]

Jake I'm only going to be able to send songs tomorrow night. Will that be ok?I can't judge until Friday anyway, I'm away all day tomorrow

[Vanessa]

I can't judge until Friday anyway, I'm away all day tomorrow

I'm sure that's ok. I'm also busy in the next couple of days.

[Parmy]

I can't believe how well im doing this time

Neither can I.

[Strictly Jake]

Whoever agrees to take part in traitors I will give an extra 5 points to. You will get an extra two points for every person you manage to recruit to it too(with proof)

I'm desperate to get at least twenty players which is near impossible on here so I'm pushing the boat out

[Vanessa]

I'm a judge, I dont get any benefit for playing!!

Will I get a little leg up in the actual game, cause if not I'm gonna cancel my subscription.

[Strictly Jake]

I hope you're not serious?

On reflection ive realised what a bad idea it is so yeah no extra points, but I do hope everyone does play anyway

[Vanessa]

If I was playing I would love to be a traitor. So much more fun :devil:

[Kate!]

Sent one song. Struggling with the other.

[Cherie]

Thought the songs were with the judges :laugh: get a move on Kate :fist:

[Vanessa]

Thought the songs were with the judges :laugh: get a move on Kate :fist:

Niamh has said she can't judge until tomorrow.

[Strictly Jake]

Just waiting on slim

[Kate!]

Sent my second song. Not convinced I'll do well with it.

[Niamh.]

Niamh has said she can't judge until tomorrow.

I would have been able to judge yesterday but now I can't judge until Monday because I'm finishing work in a couple of hours and I'm away for the weekend (haven't got the songs yet anyway)

[Strictly Jake]

Slim hasn't even sent in yet. But yeah there will be a show on Monday. Enjoy the weekend away Niamh

[Niamh.]

Thanks jake

[Vanessa]

I would have been able to judge yesterday but now I can't judge until Monday because I'm finishing work in a couple of hours and I'm away for the weekend (haven't got the songs yet anyway)

No worries. There's no rush.

[Cherie]

It Slims bleeding theme :facepalm: to be honest for me it take all the good out of it when it drags on like this and I lose all interest ...:fist::fist:

[The Slim Reaper]

Don't remember waiting for Parm or Lewis causing you to lose enjoyment, now why could that be...

[Parmy]

Has slim sent yet..is this the final round?

[The Slim Reaper]

Slim sent his songs this morning.

[Parmy]

Slim sent his songs this morning.

I hope it's worth the wait.

[Cherie]

Don't remember waiting for Parm or Lewis causing you to lose enjoyment, now why could that be...

Did they take 4 days :idc:

[The Slim Reaper]

Did they take 4 days :idc:

Surely a hall monitor should know this already :shrug:

[Cherie]

Surely a hall monitor should know this already :shrug:

:laugh: I can tell you no they didn’t :rant:

[AnnieK]

To be fair, Niamh did say she couldn't judge till Friday so Slims dances were in on time

[AnnieK]

I can't judge until Friday anyway, I'm away all day tomorrow

.

[Vanessa]

I work weekends, so that suits me fine. :laugh:
And Strictly is on tonight! :dance:

[Cherie]

To be fair, Niamh did say she couldn't judge till Friday so Slims dances were in on time

But if he sent it in Thursday Neem could have got round to it today before she went home early :oh:

[Parmy]

Slim and liam have let the sides down.

[Niamh.]

Sent my scores back, sorry for the delay people

[Kate!]

Sent my scores back, sorry for the delay people

Show tonight? Have Parm and Liam scored yet?

[Strictly Jake]

Sent my scores back, sorry for the delay people

Your actually the first judge to send back their scores!

[Niamh.]

Your actually the first judge to send back their scores!

oh :laugh:

[Cherie]

Lets just declare everyone a winner and move on :dance:

[Vanessa]

Sent my scores back, sorry for the delay people

Don't worry, there's no rush

[Liam-]

I’ll score in a bit

[Strictly Jake]

Remember the winner will be entered into the champion of champions mini series at Xmas. The three/four runners up will be offered spots as judges on it too

[Liam-]

Have to say, I’m quite disappointed by this round

[Vanessa]

Oh well, nevermind.

[Kate!]

Who's yet to vote :suspect:

[Parmy]

Nobody

[Strictly Jake]

Show incoming!

[Kate!]

Show incoming!

[Parmy]

Cliff will get 10s from me.

[Vanessa]

Well done everyone. A great round!

[Vanessa]

I'm not Cliff biggest fan. Bur I do like his Christmas songs.

[AnnieK]

Mmm.....will have a think. Don't think an oasis theme would go down too well :laugh:

[Vanessa]

Mmm.....will have a think. Don't think an oasis theme would go down too well :laugh:

I love them!

[Strictly Jake]

Just realized everyone will get to take part in the champions series anyway. Kate and Cherie are already in it. Then the winner of this is. I'm the host. That leave a another 4 people who can all be judges

That's brilliant!

[Parmy]

May as well end this now then

[Strictly Jake]

May as well end this now then

It could all change in the semi final and the final as to who could win so we need to do the last two shows

[Strictly Jake]

Mmm.....will have a think. Don't think an oasis theme would go down too well :laugh:

I actually think an oasis theme isn't such a bad idea. I mean we had a the Beatles round. However it does close itself off as a theme. Maybe best of the north. Or best British bands something like that?

[Vanessa]

Best of British bands. I like that.

[AnnieK]

Best of British it is then please Jake

[Strictly Jake]

Best of British it is then please Jake

Bands?

[AnnieK]

Bands?

Yes - bands / acts whatever. Just British and not soloists

[The Slim Reaper]

Well done Annie, absolutely insane round.

Who are we waiting for, now?

[Lewismacfarlane]

[Kate!]

I'm still looking

[Kate!]

No you won't:laugh:

[Vanessa]

This is my favourite round so far. I'm loving it!

[Kate!]

This is my favourite round so far. I'm loving it!

I enjoyed picking the Christmas song especially x

Sent both now.

[Nicky91]

loved the quarter finals anyway

divas week wasn't too difficult for me, especially with that Jazz dance, Jazz - Vogue work well together


as for motown week, am positively surprised with the scores i got, because it is not a motown song originally but a folk song from Bobby Darin, so i went outside the box there with a choice out of the great american songbook classic (even Spock or Leonard Nimoy covered it too) and a version by a classic motown group, clever pick of me to stay within the theme but also venturing outside the theme :laugh:

[Vanessa]

I enjoyed picking the Christmas song especially x

Sent both now.

Yes. I'm feeling all festive :dance:

[Lewismacfarlane]

One of my songs I've been waiting for years to use

[Kate!]

One of my songs I've been waiting for years to use

I won't guess here but I'll tell you afterwards if I was right in what you've picked.

[Strictly Jake]

It's a brilliant show this time. There are some really really strong entries!

[Strictly Jake]

Just a bit of information about how the final will work. You will be sent a list of the dances you haven't done and the list of themes there has been and you can choose any two themes and any two dances. All I want with them is a brief explanation to why you chose that for the final. So they should be songs that mean something to you. Like the contestants on strictly talk about before couples choice dances that's what id like. I think it's better than showdances as I think people get confused with that sometimes

Grest idea!

[Niamh.]

sent my scores, it was a mixed bag for me

[Kate!]

I'm tentatively optimistic that I'll hopefully do fairly well this time. Hmm.

[Niamh.]

The Christmas round was better I think (surprisingly)

[Vanessa]

I put the songs I thought fitted the best with the theme and dances. Let's hope for a good show.

[Kate!]
