I still have nightmares over the kiss from a Rose saga

[Vanessa]

When does it start? I'm at work until 5.

[Niamh.]

When does it start? I'm at work until 5.

Looks like Jake hasn't been online for over a week, I hope everything is OK with him?

[The Slim Reaper]

Shall we just say I'm the winner to help Jake save time, if he hasn't been online?

Then we can start the winners edition.

[Vanessa]

Looks like Jake hasn't been online for over a week, I hope everything is OK with him?

Yes, I hope he's ok. I'll keep my phone with me if I need to go out.

[Strictly Jake]

I'm fine I've just got back off a week's holiday with no WiFi haha

I will try and send dances out later

The first theme is TV theme tunes anyway

[Niamh.]

I'm fine I've just got back off a week's holiday with no WiFi haha

I will try and send dances out later

The first theme is TV theme tunes anyway

Ah good to hear, did you have fun?

[Strictly Jake]

Ah good to hear, did you have fun?

Mostly but caught covid now from it and spent one of the days with the worst sickness bug I've ever had, that and the kids being mega noisy, other than that yeah we all had a nice time

[Kate!]

I've sent my song.

[Vanessa]

Sent my song.

[The Slim Reaper]

Sent.

[Cherie]

Sent

[Kate!]

Will there be a show tonight? X

[Strictly Jake]

Just waiting on Annie now

I must point out that aswell as it being TV themes as long as it's a song that is synonymous with the TV show. Like it would be obvious to the judges in what way that song is connected to the TV show that counts too

But no we won't be getting a show tonight as I will need to send to the judges first. Hopefully tomorrow night

[AnnieK]

Sorry, sent now

[Parmy]

What's the theme?

[Strictly Jake]

What's the theme?

TV show themes or songs famously used in tv shows. But like this series of strictly BBC week but any channel

[Parmy]

Gonna be short dances..

[Strictly Jake]

Dances have now been sent off so who knows there is a possibility of a show tonight. Depends on if the judges are around I guess

[The Slim Reaper]

Just waiting on Annie now

I must point out that aswell as it being TV themes as long as it's a song that is synonymous with the TV show. Like it would be obvious to the judges in what way that song is connected to the TV show that counts too

But no we won't be getting a show tonight as I will need to send to the judges first. Hopefully tomorrow night

Could have probably done with this advice prior to trying to find a theme tune that would fit the dance.

[The Slim Reaper]

I wonder which contestant hasn't sent in theme tunes? :think:

[Strictly Jake]

I wonder which contestant hasn't sent in theme tunes? :think:

Doesn't matter the person sent me a new choice now. So every one is dancing to the actual TV theme tune. Makes it fairer I suppose

[The Slim Reaper]

So a contestant got a 2nd chance to avoid a 1, after all the vids had been sent?

https://media.tenor.com/svFFJHFmLccAAAAM/oh-my-george-takei.gif

[Niamh.]

sent my scores back, it was a really good round actually some great choices

[Vanessa]

It was really difficult. So many choices, but I went with the one I thought fit the theme the best.

[Parmy]

I should have the scores in within the hour.

[Parmy]

Scores are in.

[Cherie]

Scores are in.

Any 10s or 1s

[Vanessa]

Good luck everyone!

[Liam-]

Sent my scores in

[Strictly Jake]

Next up is Vanessa and Giovanni with a Foxtrot to Downton Abbey
j3_E9qVmrV0

Niamh: Maybe a touch too slow for the Foxtrot for me but it was good. 7

Parmnion: Didnt really sell it to me, more waltzy than foxtrot. 7

Score: 20/30

[The Slim Reaper]

Cheers guys.

[Strictly Jake]

Next is Jake and Nancy with a Tango to Walking Dead
v5ISBJc1wFk

Liam: 6

Score: 22/30

[Vanessa]

Not familiar with this show.

[Strictly Jake]

Next is Nicky and Dianne with a Quickstep to Buffy the vampire slayer
5-xnvdtuRRo

Liam: 7

Niamh: It fit the dance very well but it was a bit samey all the way through. 7

Parmnion: Far too much knee lifting going on, more suited to the earphones of a hurdler out training at night. 6.

Score: 20/30

[Vanessa]

Obsessed with this show. Its the best!

[Strictly Jake]

Next is Kate and Graziano with a Charleston to Grange Hill
-SlvZF6k5bE

Liam: 4

Niamh: hhhmmmm I'm a bit torn on this because I don't watch Strictly but I know this song was just used on the series because I happened to see a few minutes of one episode recently I do love it with the Charleston though so I'm going to give it an 8

Parmnion: Very good, Nice selection of music there, a fun, different, yet enjoyable Charleston, it had me saying yes, more than just saying NO! Keep it up, you will go far. 9.(a little less chat In class as well would go down a treat, so I've been told)

Score: 21/30

[Strictly Jake]

Next is Lewis and Amy with a Viennese Waltz to Perfect World(From Gogglebox)
iw5F1bFvakE

Liam: 6

Niamh: It was pretty good, maybe a bit fast? 7

Parmnion: Very solid indeed, not the perfect world you hoped for I'm afraid, your tailbone let you down. 8

Score: 21/30

[Strictly Jake]

Closing the show is Cherie and Johannes with a Paso Doble to Game of thrones
s7L2PVdrb_8

Liam: 6

Niamh: Oh excellent, that's a very tough dance to match these themes to but that was just right, a 9 from me!

Parmnion: Ok for a Paso, had the thrilling music..but it just blended in and didnt stand out. 7

Score: 22/30

[The Slim Reaper]

Well done everyone.

[Vanessa]

Yes, a great selection of dances. Love it.

[Strictly Jake]

Annie and Gorka 22
Cherie and Johannes 22
Lewis and Amy 21
Kate and Graziano 21
Vanessa and Giovanni 20
Nicky and Dianne 20

Very close between everyone. Noone leaves in this series the scores will just keep getting added until the end. But congratulations slim you won week 1. That means you choose the next theme!

[The Slim Reaper]

Can I have a think and let you know in the am?

[Vanessa]

I'm going to be more daring in my next choice. I was torn between two songs. The other one was very risky.

[The Slim Reaper]

I'm going to be more daring in my next choice. I was torn between two songs. The other one was very risky.

What was it?

[Niamh.]

Well done people [emoji122]

[AnnieK]

Well done Slim for getting top spot.
Good job everyone else
Thanks for the votes judges
:love:

[Vanessa]

What was it?

I opened a thread about it :blush:

[Cherie]

well done Slim

[Nicky91]

i'm happy with that, i didn't know if this choice was perfect for quickstep or not, i was confused with it suiting quickstep or paso doble/tango


also scores wise, we're so close at each other



the no elimination part i'm extra happy about, so i can afford taking these extra risks

[The Slim Reaper]

Struggling with themes here. Can I have some input from the judges on which themes they've found most difficult, please?

[Niamh.]

Struggling with themes here. Can I have some input from the judges on which themes they've found most difficult, please?

Most difficult as a contestant?

[The Slim Reaper]

Most difficult as a contestant?

Yeah.

[Niamh.]

Yeah.

hhhmmm I'm trying to remember them, i suppose the ones that limit your pool of choice can be hard if you have certain dances, like if it's limited to a certain artist or two/Post modern jukebox can be great but very difficult for some dances/or if it's limited to a certain genre of music

[Niamh.]

The number/colour theme last year as well was tough

[The Slim Reaper]

Thanks Niamh.

Anyone else have comments on most difficult rounds?

[Liam-]

Like Niamh said the super specific ones are the hardest, I wanted to quit when we had a U2 week it was awful, but also themes that can be left often to interpretation by the judges suck too

[Niamh.]

https://media.tenor.com/WXP2qCxozv0AAAAM/seal-running-away.gif

[The Slim Reaper]

Seal week?

[Niamh.]

Seal week?

:hehe:

[The Slim Reaper]

I think if you win the round, then you should know your dance before you choose a theme. There are a couple of themes I would love to pick, but have a feeling I'd get the dance that screwed me the most out of everyone :laugh:

[The Slim Reaper]

I'm going for a Beatles round.

Solo projects are included, but not appearances on other artists work.

[Cherie]

I think if you win the round, then you should know your dance before you choose a theme. There are a couple of themes I would love to pick, but have a feeling I'd get the dance that screwed me the most out of everyone :laugh:

That would be unfair, level playing field :nono:

Just go for it, no one is leaving anyway

[Cherie]

I'm going for a Beatles round.

Solo projects are included, but not appearances on other artists work.

Worse than U2 week :laugh:

[The Slim Reaper]

Worse than U2 week :laugh:

Glad you like it :hmph:

[Niamh.]

I think if you win the round, then you should know your dance before you choose a theme. There are a couple of themes I would love to pick, but have a feeling I'd get the dance that screwed me the most out of everyone :laugh:

that'd be a real tactical BB style rule :laugh:

[Niamh.]

Worse than U2 week :laugh:

Nah U2 are awfully boring, Beatles is an improvement still tough though

[The Slim Reaper]

that'd be a real tactical BB style rule :laugh:

Hate the game, not the player :smug:

[Niamh.]

Hate the game, not the player :smug:

I'm just glad I'm a judge this time :hee:

[The Slim Reaper]

I really wanted to go with a Clancys and tommy Mackem round, but I felt this was an easier. Folks should be grateful :idc:

[Vanessa]

So Beatles and any of their solo works?

[Niamh.]

Does solo works include other bands they were in?

[Vanessa]

Does solo works include other bands they were in?

I was wondering that as well :suspect:

[The Slim Reaper]

So Beatles and any of their solo works?

Corretta mi amore

[Vanessa]

The Beatles were my mother favourite band. I remember I took her to Liverpool to see their museum.

[The Slim Reaper]

Does solo works include other bands they were in?

Depends. If it's their work, yes. If George Harrison (example) appears on a rolling stones record, then no.

Wings was McCartneys band, as was the plastic Ono band for Lennon. As long as it's them, and not features/appearances, then yes.

[Vanessa]

Depends. If it's their work, yes. If George Harrison (example) appears on a rolling stones record, then no.

Wings was McCartneys band, as was the plastic Ono band for Lennon. As long as it's them, and not features/appearances, then yes.

What if it's a duet with another artist? Or a performance with other artists?

[The Slim Reaper]

What if it's a duet with another artist? Or a performance with other artists?

A duet is still their work, so "whatever gets you through the night" which is a John Lennon/Elton John song, would count.

A duet is not the same as appearing on someone else's work.

[Niamh.]

Depends. If it's their work, yes. If George Harrison (example) appears on a rolling stones record, then no.

Wings was McCartneys band, as was the plastic Ono band for Lennon. As long as it's them, and not features/appearances, then yes.

Perfect

[Vanessa]

A duet is still their work, so "whatever gets you through the night" which is a John Lennon/Elton John song, would count.

A duet is not the same as appearing on someone else's work.

Ok, thanks.:blush:

[Niamh.]

Because Slim has set the rules out very clearly I am going to penalise those who go outside those specific instructions so beware!

[Vanessa]

There's a lot to choose from if duets and solo work are included.

[Nicky91]

are cover versions eligible?

[Nicky91]

because many other very famous artists who have covered songs from the beatles


i know, because duh i am a music expert (sorry to be smug)

[The Slim Reaper]

are cover versions eligible?

Errrr...NO.

[The Slim Reaper]

because many other very famous artists who have covered songs from the beatles


i know, because duh i am a music expert (sorry to be smug)

Takes a real *checks notes* music expert, to realise that the beatles have been heavily covered by other artists :laugh:

[Parmy]

Struggling with themes here. Can I have some input from the judges on which themes they've found most difficult, please?

Eurovision.

[Parmy]

Worse than U2 week :laugh:

Exactly like everything else then:smug:

[Parmy]

One more bad word about u2 or u2 week and I'm flouncing.:fist:

[Vanessa]

I love U2.

[AnnieK]

Eurovision.

By far my most hated week - I hope to God there isn't Eurovision in this one - or I might flounce :laugh:

[Vanessa]

Hope we have a movie week later on. Would be fun.

[Strictly Jake]

Ok Beatles week it is. I'll send out the dances now

[Strictly Jake]

Sent off. So the quicker they get sent out the quicker there will be another show. Love this theme slim

[Kate!]

Good theme. Sent mine. Didn't want to overthink it or risk my song being taken.

[The Slim Reaper]

Sent

[Strictly Jake]

Yeah it'll be first come first serve so best to get in there quick with your choice before it gets taken

[The Slim Reaper]

Annie getting ones because she thought the beatles were an oasis tribute act.

[Cherie]

Sent

[Vanessa]

Sent. Love this theme.

[Vanessa]

:joker:Annie getting ones because she thought the beatles were an oasis tribute act.

[AnnieK]

Annie getting ones because she thought the beatles were an oasis tribute act.

:laugh:

Wait....you mean they're not???

Better change my choice

Sent......champagne supernova is a Beatles classic

[Vanessa]

:laugh2::laugh:

Wait....you mean they're not???

Better change my choice

Sent......champagne supernova is a Beatles classic

[Parmy]

Because Slim has set the rules out very clearly I am going to penalise those who go outside those specific instructions so beware!

I might do the opposite just to annoy slim if that's ok with everyone.

[Niamh.]

I might do the opposite just to annoy slim if that's ok with everyone.:nono:

[Niamh.]

Just as a heads up Jake, if I don't get the songs by 3ish today I won't be able to judge them until after the weekend

[Strictly Jake]

I will be able to send the songs very soon. Just one person has sent in a song already taken so just waiting on their second choice

[Niamh.]

I will be able to send the songs very soon. Just one person has sent in a song already taken so just waiting on their second choice

Great stuff

[The Slim Reaper]

Not Annie sending in Wonderwall, only to find out Kate is already using it for the Charleston

[Strictly Jake]

Ok sent out. Hopefully a show later tonight

[Niamh.]

I'll do them at lunchtime and get them back to you by 2pm the latest

[The Slim Reaper]

Do I get to pick the theme again after I win this round, too?

[Niamh.]

You'll be very disappointed if you don't top this one. I think I flopped at the round I choose last time :eyes:

[The Slim Reaper]

You'll be very disappointed if you don't top this one. I think I flopped at the round I choose last time :eyes:

I've realised I made a really bad choice. The beatles is way too easy with too many options for everyone else, so it's a bit of a lottery really. I won't make that mistake again if I get the chance.

[Niamh.]

I've realised I made a really bad choice. The beatles is way too easy with too many options for everyone else, so it's a bit of a lottery really. I won't make that mistake again if I get the chance.

I had a quick look and there's some great songs in there

[Vanessa]

I love the Beatles, especially their later stuff. My favourite album is Sg Pepper.

[The Slim Reaper]

I had a quick look and there's some great songs in there

Yeah, only an idiot could fail to find a good beatles track. I wanted to pull out a lesser known solo Paul or George track, but realised I'd end up with a nicky-style 20 points :laugh:

[Strictly Jake]

Do I get to pick the theme again after I win this round, too?

No people don't get to choose twice in a row. It'll revert to second place to pick a theme

[Vanessa]

Yeah, only an idiot could fail to find a good beatles track. I wanted to pull out a lesser known solo Paul or George track, but realised I'd end up with a nicky-style 20 points :laugh:

They've done some great collaborations, but it's hard to find one that fits the dance.

[The Slim Reaper]

No people don't get to choose twice in a row. It'll revert to second place to pick a theme

Sent my scores in, I can reveal I've given my highest and lowest marks of the series

[The Slim Reaper]

Sent my scores in, I can reveal I've given my lowest marks of the series

:suspect:

:smug:

[Liam-]

Just as a warning, I bloody hate the Beatles

[The Slim Reaper]

https://media.tenor.com/FM6F0OerlDgAAAAM/blasphemy-lies.gif

[The Slim Reaper]

Come on then, do any judges have any ideas on what our entries are?

And Liam, do you not like any beatles songs at all? if not, which of their songs do you find the least worst?

[Cherie]

Just as a warning, I bloody hate the Beatles

Same so this was tricky for me

That said that was the theme and at the end of the day it is how much it suits the dance so if you mark us down on a theme we had no control over its a bit unfair :hmph:

[Niamh.]

Come on then, do any judges have any ideas on what our entries are?



And Liam, do you not like any beatles songs at all? if not, which of their songs do you find the least worst?Nah because they're all by the same artist and the song would depend on the dance so kind of impossible to tell

[The Slim Reaper]

Nah because they're all by the same artist and the song would depend on the dance so kind of impossible to tell

That's fair.

[The Slim Reaper]

Same so this was tricky for me

That said that was the theme and at the end of the day it is how much it suits the dance so if you mark us down on a theme we had no control over its a bit unfair :hmph:

If everyone is marked down, then doesn't that even it up?

[Cherie]

If everyone is marked down, then doesn't that even it up?


Its supposed to be about the suitability of the dance with the song, not whether the judges like the act :hmph:

[Vanessa]

Yes, it's unfair if we're marked down because they don't like the Beatles. We can't help what the theme is.

[The Slim Reaper]

Its supposed to be about the suitability of the dance with the song, not whether the judges like the act :hmph:

Just have to let it be :smug:

[The Slim Reaper]

Yes, it's unfair if we're marked down because they don't like the Beatles. We can't help what the theme is.

Sounds like Liam is going to take Maxwells silver hammer to our scores :laugh:

[Parmy]

I will be marking this morning.

My Marks will be given on how well the song fits the theme...I'm mixed with the beatles, some I love some I hate...1 extra point given if I like the song, and 1 taken away of I dont..but the original score will be on how well it fits your dances.

Sorry I missed for last night, I was a tad tied up.

[Parmy]

Scored

[The Slim Reaper]

Scored

Show off

[Cherie]

Sorry I missed for last night, I was a tad tied up.

Scored

:dance:

[Vanessa]

Ok. I'm at work. Will catch up later.
In case I get eliminated, could I be a guest judge for a week? I would like that. :blush:

[The Slim Reaper]

Ok. I'm at work. Will catch up later.
In case I get eliminated, could I be a guest judge for a week? I would like that. :blush:

No eliminations at all in this series, Ness.

[Vanessa]

No eliminations at all in this series, Ness.

No? :suspect:

For this reason I'm looking for three or four judges, that have won this is the past. And around 8 contestants or more. Also this time noone will be eliminated whoever gets the most points at the end will be the winner

Starting next week so be quick!

No? :suspect:

I can be serious every once in a while :laugh:

[Nicky91]

i'm not going for the overall win, but if i could somehow sneak up into the podium that would already be an achievement for me

but if that also doesn't happen, also no worries, it matters more that i should have lots of fun, to prove to Jake i can behave myself and have fun

It's Week 2 and the theme this time is The Beatles! But who will win a ticket to ride or who will sink as low as the yellow Submarine. Will it be a hard day's night for our contestants that will leave them shouting Help!. Let's take to the dancefloor


First up is Kate and Graziano with a Quickstep to Lady Madonna
uLRiGX3L-kw

Liam: Decent effort. 7

Niamh: Good fit, good song, strong entry an 8!

Parmnion: Twice in a row the show has opened with a faultless act, not to quick and definitely not to slow. Legs got tied up a bit during the transfers but in general it did the job. 8

Score: 23


Next is Nicky and Dianne with a Waltz to Stand by me
4RdATJ_6870

Liam: Just didn't seem very waltzy to me I’m afraid. 4.

Niamh: I thought this was a little bit fast for the waltz and I think of all the classic Beatles songs out there a mediocre cover of someone eases song wasn't a great choice 5.

Parmnion: Sorry, this one wasn't for me. I don't particularly think it works with a waltz, apart from when the music originally picks up a beat or two.l, liked the song though. 6

Score: 15


Next is Annie and Gorka with a Tango to Eleanor Rigby
HuS5NuXRb5Y

Liam: sorry, didn’t suit a tango at all. 4

Niamh: One of my favourite Beatles songs, possibly one of they few that would fit the Tango as well so great choice loved that 9!

Parmnion: Started off well with the violins and that, but then it just depresses me. More suited to a military marching themed dance. 5

Score: 18


Next is Jake and Nancy with a Jive to Saw her standing there
oxwAB3SECtc

Liam: Too slow and really lacking in energy for a jive. 5

Niamh: This is perfection, first 10 of the series for me!

Parmnion: I think I just saw you...oooooo...standing there with a glittery ball. 10!

Score: 25



Next is Cherie and Johannes with a Foxtrot to She loves you
BOuu88OwdK8

Liam: 6.

Niamh: I thought this was a little fast for the Foxtrot 7.

Parmnion: She loved you...4

Score: 17



Next is Lewis and Amy with a Rumba to Yesterday
NrgmdOz227I

Liam: well done, thats more like it. 8.

Niamh: This was beautiful, brought a tear to my eye, another 10!

Parmnion: Slow, yet rythmic. A true delight amongst a lot of drivel. 10!

Score: 28


Next is Vanessa and Giovanni with a Cha Cha to Get Back
KmH-a12oyS0

Liam: not the best, but not a complete disaster either. 6

Niamh: Great fit, really enjoyed that 9!

Parmnion: You got some pizzazz going on there..I didnt want it to stop. 10!

Score: 25


Closing the show is Slim and Katya with an American Smooth to Something
UelDrZ1aFeY

Liam: a bit dull, but got the job done. 6

Niamh: I think this is too slow for the American Smooth, I wanted to love it because I adore that song but it just doesn't fit the dance imo 6.

Parmnion: Had its moments, but I would have used this for Venetian waltz..not slick enough. 7

Score: 19

Well done us.

[AnnieK]

Well done all - thanks judges
Congrats Lewis

[Lewismacfarlane]

Omg I've won a week

[Nicky91]

fair feedback for me


i didn't know what else to choose, i had Yesterday as my 1st choice


and i thought let me go for a cover, to me stand by me fits a nice contemporary-ish waltz


oh well, the only way is up i guess famous last words much :laugh:

[Strictly Jake]

Omg I've won a week

Yeah what do you want as the next theme?

[The Slim Reaper]

Yeah, only an idiot could fail to find a good beatles track. I wanted to pull out a lesser known solo Paul or George track, but realised I'd end up with a nicky-style 20 points :laugh:

[The Slim Reaper]

Are judges just going to ignore that Nicky used a cover of someone else's song?

[Strictly Jake]

I don't think they did ignore that slim. Nicky only got 15 points

[Nicky91]

i was out of options, for my specific dance though


i stand by my choice

[The Slim Reaper]

I don't think they did ignore that slim. Nicky only got 15 points

I think they may have thought I used a cover too, if that's the case :laugh:

[Lewismacfarlane]

80s is the next theme

[Kate!]

80s is the next theme

Oh fantastic Lewis. Xx

[Vanessa]

I love the 80s :dance:

[Nicky91]

luv the 80s

[Liam-]

80’s is much more my scene

[Parmy]

Can we put a twist on the 80s theme please..just 80s is too easy.

[Kate!]

Can we put a twist on the 80s theme please..just 80s is too easy.

Hush now. X

[Vanessa]

I have to go to the pharmacy. Will have a look later.
I'm so tired today. I need a strong coffee :laugh:

[Kate!]

Awaiting my choice of dance.

[Cherie]

Congrats Lewis

80s great choice

[Niamh.]

Are judges just going to ignore that Nicky used a cover of someone else's song?I did mention that in my comment and I gave him a 5

[Vanessa]

So it's just 80s. No twist? :suspect:

[Strictly Jake]

80s it is.

I will send the dances soon but I know people can't do this at weekends as they stated to me at the beginning so you don't need to send me your song until Monday

[Vanessa]

80s it is.

I will send the dances soon but I know people can't do this at weekends as they stated to me at the beginning so you don't need to send me your song until Monday

Thank you. That's fine by me. I will have a look later, bur will send the song on Monday.

[Strictly Jake]

As it is such a wide theme. Should we agree that the songs chosen shouldn't have been used on strictly come dancing previously. Therefore some extra digging. I'm sure it's easy to find if it's been used with a Google or YouTube search

[Parmy]

I will be marking way down if they have been.

[Cherie]

I never check but will do this time

[Cherie]

Nicks sass for completely ignoring the rules :laugh:

[Niamh.]

I'm sure it's easy to find if it's been used with a Google or YouTube searchI'm probably not going to check that too throuoghly, other than a quick Google! [emoji28]

[Liam-]

I will :smug:

[Parmy]

If anyone gets the paso doble and dances to this, they will be getting a 10.


tLzMfjQMc-Y








Omg, how sexy and cool does bono look.



Infact it will probably be a ten for a Venetian waltz too.

[Niamh.]

I will :smug:[emoji28]

[Parmy]

I knew slims that last round....ibwish I had commented with my original comment instead of the mamsy pamsy slick ref.

[Nicky91]

i'm hoping i get a specific dance, otherwise i'll have to randomly start a new search for a last minute song

[The Slim Reaper]

It doesn't matter what dance you get Nicky, just make up your own rules. :laugh:

[Nicky91]

It doesn't matter what dance you get Nicky, just make up your own rules. :laugh:

umm :nono:

i play things by the book, and sometimes i bend some of the rules a little, like last weeks contemporary touch to my waltz


it was a cover yes, but a cover by John Lennon and tbh a cover or not, it is part of their solo work too so i didn't break any rules of the theme

It was a rule break. How many times was it specifically said it had to be their own work?

I'm not hating, I think it's awesome that if you don't like the theme, you just make up your own. It's actually genius :laugh:

[Kate!]

Lol Slim. It is genius x

[Nicky91]

i did like the theme though :shrug:

my 1st choice was a beatles song but for my 2nd choice i just thought after a long search through their discography, :rolleyes: i better go with something else from one of their members, fitting the best with my dance i had been given



i'm not complaining about being last place, i kinda been expecting that anyway, but a new week, new hopes i guess

[Parmy]

Nicky to win.:dance:

[Kate!]

I've sent my song in. X

[Strictly Jake]

I'll really stuck between two choices!!

[Parmy]

Anyone not winning this time who hasnt ever won before, will always be a ball less wonder

[Vanessa]

Just sent my song. It's a bit of a risk, but what the hell. I have nothing to lose. So I'm going for it.

[Lewismacfarlane]

I've sent my song in

[Kate!]

A show tonight??

[Niamh.]

A show tonight??

Judges haven't even got the songs yet

[Nicky91]

A show tonight??

very unlikely i think, as we don't know if everyone got their songs sent in, and then they need to be sent out to the judges as well


i'd say maybe tomorrow or wednesday, but this is just complete guesswork


and we don't want to rush Jake, as there is no rush (in fact i would love if we are still playing this near christmas, would love a christmas themed week by then tbh)

[Strictly Jake]

It's ready to be sent off when slim sends his song in

[Strictly Jake]

It's very hard to predict from this point on how it's gonna go down. Everyone left is pretty good. Ellie is probably the weakest but then she has done a couple of great dances so it depends what dance she is given. Plus she has a fan base. Kym is a bit hit and miss. I like her but really can't see her making the final. Then Molly and Fleur both are great but they scream shock exits. Tyler I think is really good but I'm not sure he has the fan base to get him all the way to the final. Helen I can see in the final but I don't think she is that strong a dancer compared to the others. Hamza I think he is going to win and I hope he does so I think he is definitely in the final. I can also see will making the final, he has the popularity to get him there.

So in the final I'm thinking

Hamza, Will, Helen and then it's a toss up between Molly, Fleur and Tyler.

Ellie or Kym will be leaving this weekend and I reckon that'll be the dance off result aswell

[Cherie]

Slim...............................

This was meant for the strictly thread. Whoops :joker:

[The Slim Reaper]
