:eek: what the **** 4th place whew :dazzler: did not expect that at all :D

it was quite the risk i was taking there

[Holly Christmas]

Oh I did OK this week. Phew!

[Time to Sleigh]

Parmnion you can choose the next theme

[Holly Christmas]

Parmnion you can choose the next theme

Oh fgs not U2 again. I'm quitting if he picks that.

[Time to Sleigh]

Actually as we have combined last three shows the fairest thing is that Nicky gets to choose the theme

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

I did ok. Thanks for the scores

[Nicky91]

think i choose

Magic Moments Week

and explaining the theme: basically something what can also be chosen for a showdance, something showy and over the top but obviously also has to fit your given dance style, so an extra challenging theme from me i guess

[Yuki Maru Hoshi]

https://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=5844&stc=1&d=1703943267

Can you see it now Maru??

:love::love::love: Yes I can

Thanks Jake <3 That certainly has that judge person vibe :love:

[Parmy]

Err...no!

You cant go back now yiuve tempted me.:nono:

I had a cracker lined up.

[Parmy]

Parmnion you can choose the next theme

This...

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

I don't mind who chooses the theme. Hope it's a good one.

[Alf]

Second bottom this round.

No doubt the judges have been hitting the Christmas liquor hard this week.

[Parmy]

Food was my choice, either a song or an artist or group with food in there somewhere

[Parmy]

If it's my choice its U2 week.

This is a game to win, and if that choice gets rid of an opponent then that's the way it goes.


Christmas is OVER.

[Holly Christmas]

If it's my choice its U2 week.

This is a game to win, and if that choice gets rid of an opponent then that's the way it goes.


Christmas is OVER.

Jake won't allow U2 week. Everyone complained last time.

[Parmy]

Jake won't allow U2 week. Everyone complained last time.

Not everyone..just a couple of snowflakes did.

[Alf]

U2 week my arse.

You can just about count on your only fingers how many gret songs they had.

They're not The Beatles or the Stones. Where you'd need at least ten sets of hands to count the great songs.

[Parmy]

U2 week my arse.

You can just about count on your only fingers how many gret songs they had.

They're not The Beatles or the Stones. Where you'd need at least ten sets of hands to count the great songs.

You know nothing.


All classics, and fit all dance genres

.https://www.citynetmagazine.com/the-top-100-u2-songs-of-all-time/


But I prefer the food idea anyway, so Kate can stay.

[Time to Sleigh]

Parmnion I initially said you as you topped week 3. But as the leaderboard reflected the past three weeks to choose who was in the dance off technically the leaderboard overall from the last three weeks whoever tops that should get to choose the next theme. Nicky has chosen magic moments so that it is. Will send out dances tomorrow. I'd appreciate if you could all act a bit more mature and stop moaning or squabbling and spoils it for others.

[Time to Sleigh]

I agree though U2 have some great songs to dance too but a whole show based on the same artist is really boring for the judges to comment on

[Yuki Maru Hoshi]

I agree though U2 have some great songs to dance too but a whole show based on the same artist is really boring for the judges to comment on

Yes and it handicaps the talent. Because it's hard to show one's own style through one artist... some limitation is good though to force people out of a box...

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

I love U2, but I would prefer some themes that we haven't done before.
Something different?

[Time to Sleigh]

I can now reveal that the couple leaving is

Jake and Katya!!

[Time to Sleigh]

And I've decided to go for Parms food theme it's just easier at this stage as it's obvious what the judges will be looking for. Magic moments is a bit obscure but also I really like Nicky's idea and it will be good for nearer the final as long as Nicky doesn't mind. I'll send out dances later

That's great Jake. I like the food theme, it's different, and a challenge. Nicky's is great for later in the game, fingers crossed I'm still in it to have a go. X

[Holly Christmas]

Congratulations Barry for surviving. Commiserations to Jake. Xx

[Holly Christmas]

Food was my choice, either a song or an artist or group with food in there somewhere

My song I have chosen has food in the artists name.

Jake and Parm, that's acceptable yes?

[The Grinch]

Oh I didn’t know the artist could too, I might go relook

[Time to Sleigh]

Food was my choice, either a song or an artist or group with food in there somewhere

So it was yeah

[Holly Christmas]

So it was yeah

OK great. The judges will know this? I'll send my song now.

Cherie and Vito Vs Liam and Nancy in the dance off!

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Didn't think my song would do so well. It was definitely a risk, but worth it.
Thanks judges!

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

I don't get the theme. Magic moments. It's not very specific .....

[Time to Sleigh]

I don't get the theme. Magic moments. It's not very specific .....

Maybe Nicky can explain it better tomorrow

[Time to Sleigh]

Magic Moments Week explained by Nicky

and explaining the theme: basically something what can also be chosen for a showdance, something showy and over the top but obviously also has to fit your given dance style, so an extra challenging theme from me i guess

[Parmy]

7s, for not only having the song with food in the title but also the artist.

At least Maru seen sense, thank you Maru.

[ChristmasNeeve]

I thought the theme was "songs" with a food in the title not the artist [emoji23]

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

I thought the theme was "songs" with a food in the title not the artist [emoji23]

[Parmy]

Jake..you sent in the wrong entry for mine.

[Holly Christmas]

OK, while I was bottom of the board, just eliminate me and let Nicky and Parm stay.

I'll be happy to judge.

[Time to Sleigh]

Jake..you sent in the wrong entry for mine.

This is what happens when you literally change your mind every five mins and send me multiple private messages. I thought you said you would have this song in the end. Never mind sorry

[Time to Sleigh]

OK, while I was bottom of the board, just eliminate me and let Nicky and Parm stay.

I'll be happy to judge.

Ok then Kate. After all your a great judge!

[Parmy]

Kate replaces Liam?

Ok then Kate. After all your a great judge!

OK thank you Jake. It saves you a lot of messing about. Xx

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

I always expect to flop. Didn't I expect to be at the top at all.
I'm glad you liked the song. It was a big risk.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

A 70s theme. We haven't had one in ages!

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

To clarify, any song released from 1970 to 1979. Anything outside that does not qualify.

[ChristmasNeeve]

stuck between 3 very different songs

[Cherry Christmas]

stuck between 3 very different songs

I just changed the one I sent yesterday I normally send and forget about it probably made a mistake by changing :laugh:

The addition of judges has definitely made it more competitive. I feel like it makes it more fair too.

Bye Niamh. Thanks for aafely

[Yuki Maru Hoshi]

Sorry Niamh. I would've thought you would place much higher for sure with Aerosmith being your selection... but you went out with a bang in my book

[ChristmasNeeve]

No worries Maru, I knew that particular song was a gamble, Heart of Glass by blondie and LA Woman by the doors where my other 2 choices but I thought that Aerosmith song fit the dance perfectly, oh well [emoji23]

[Holly Christmas]

I can't be bothered no more. I'm dropping out. If anyone wants to take my spot, then you're welcome to it

Oh no Alf, why? Is it because people aren't quick enough getting their songs in?

But Jake said songs by Monday?
I have work. Otherwise I would send the songs on the same day.

Oh no Alf, why? Is it because people aren't quick enough getting their songs in?No, I just can't be bothered.

[Parmy]

No, I just can't be bothered.

Did you get the Charleston?

[Holly Christmas]

No, I just can't be bothered.

Oh ok. Well sorry to see you go.

[Yuki Maru Hoshi]

Did you get the Charleston?

:laugh:

[Alf]

Did you get the Charleston?Would have been more simple if I did.

[Parmy]

Would have been more simple if I did.



Get those heels on, and break a leg. We dont quit round these parts :nono:

[Cherry Christmas]

No, I just can't be bothered.


Dont really understand, but if you want out, that is your call Alfie

[Holly Christmas]

Yep, it's not like you to quit Alf. You're a contender.

[Cherry Christmas]

Ususally send mind same day, but given Jake said Monday I didnt

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Would have been more simple if I did.

You have time until Monday to find the songs. That's plenty of time.

[Time to Sleigh]

I don't understand that Alf. Its literally two more shows until the end!

[Cherry Christmas]

Sorry back again.... bit of a moan...actually Alf I think you are a bit spoilt you have never run a game.... or been a judge ...so not sure what your issue is...its quiet hard to run a game and keep everyone happy, its also quiet hard to judge a load of songs and give feedback....all you have to do is submit two songs, its not that hard...yeah you might have to wait a day or two as people have other things on...but in the general scheme of things its not the end of the world having to wait...in my opinion if you sign up to something you see it through.... thats me.... you do you though .....bit harsh? might be ...but that is how I see it .....if Alf is dropping out please bring back Niamh who gives 100 per cent and doesnt moan

[Holly Christmas]

Good luck everyone. Hope I survive. If not, it's ok as well.

[Time to Sleigh]

Please play dances over the songs mine are perfect

[Cherry Christmas]

I did that this morning. :hee:

[ChristmasNeeve]

Please play dances over the songs mine are perfect

I always do, I'll be doing that on my break. I just had a quick look at the songs

[Time to Sleigh]

Once the show has been on I'm going to post a video of one of the dances on strictly that matched someone's song perfectly. It was uncanny

Hopefully yeah as long as I get judges scores back by then

[Yuki Maru Hoshi]

Please play dances over the songs mine are perfect

I always do, I'll be doing that on my break. I just had a quick look at the songs

Same. I search strictly through YT and play those styles alongside with the music. It works very well and a bit creepy how in sync the songs and dances sometimes are.

[Yuki Maru Hoshi]

Mine are in. Good luck, everyone!

[Holly Christmas]

Sent my scores and comments

[Time to Sleigh]

[Time to Sleigh]

Welcome to the Quarter Final of Strictly Tibb Dancing. Our final six are now taking on two themes. TV theme tunes and 00s hits

[Holly Christmas]

Woo hoo. Interested to see the other judges scores.

[Time to Sleigh]

First up is Vanessa and Kai
Paso Doble to You don't know me from Wentworth
2kHzHOYepu0


Maru: The song has two layers to it for me and the dance rightly picks up on both the drama portion and the general vibe. 9

Annie: Mean and Moody Paso. Good choice! 9

Oliver: 7

Kate: I like the fact that you took a risk with this unusual choice. 9

Niamh: Excellent choice, that's a very difficult dance with a limited theme so this was perfection, well done. 10!

Score: 44

[Time to Sleigh]

Next is Barry and Dianne
Quickstep to I'll be there for you from Friends
q-9kPks0IfE


Maru: Fun dance vibe to go with the giddy nature of the song. 8

Annie: Brilliant - fast and furious. Loved it. 10!

Oliver: 9

Kate: Bravissimo, really enjoyed this. 9

Niamh: Decent fit. Good song. 8

Score: 44

[Time to Sleigh]

Next is Alf and Jowita
Couples Choice to Fame from Fame
ynZCDm0IEVM


Maru: Very entertaining combination. 9

Annie: Iconic theme - great dance 10!

Oliver: 8

Kate: this paid off, very good choice. 9

Niamh: a poppin' classic! 10!

Score: 46

[Time to Sleigh]

Next is Cherie and Vito
Argentine Tango to the theme from Dexter
e2xxizpHuoo


Maru: Sexy combination, which is a bit scary because it's Dexter. AND it's instrumental. Very creative. 10!

Annie: Took a while to get going but then it was great. 8

Oliver: 8

Kate: I didn't feel this as much as other entries but still merits an 8. 8

Niamh: Right, I'm a MASSIVE Dexter fan and this is not the Theme tune to it, it's the end credits song, you could argue a technicality and say its the end theme but that's not "Thee" Theme tune and I'm being rigid on this so I'm going to deduct 2 points from my score. It fit very well so I would have given a 9, I'm now reducing that to a 7 for not fitting the theme properly. 7

Score: 41

[Time to Sleigh]

Next is Parmnion and Karen
Charleston to The Big Bang theory theme
TzhIfN4UQv8


Maru: Congrats on making a Charleston feel hip and modern. You did it! 10!

Annie: Fun, frantic and fabulous. 9

Oliver: 10!

Kate: oh yes. Dramatic and well paced. 9

Niamh: It fit ish, was probably pretty difficult to find a song for this dance tbf so I'll give it an 8 even though I didn't love it. 8

Score: 46

[Time to Sleigh]

Next is Nicky and Michelle
Viennese Waltz to The Love Boat theme
m2ugQ190hkc


Maru: The other selections are very strong and this is not a standout for me. 7

Annie: Great! 9

Oliver: 7

Kate: Inspired choice, beautiful performance. 10!

Niamh: I found this a touch too fast for the dance and I don't love the song. 7

Score: 40

I know you would take exception to this, its still the end theme :shrug: the theme that is played at the end of every episode, there was no specification it had to be the opening theme :hmph: the song is even called the Theme!

[Cherry Christmas]

well done Parmy :smug:

[Parmy]

My Charleston was perfection and deserved 10s from everyone.

Well done Bartholemew though, about time you topped it.

Harsh on cherie from neem imo.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Well done everyone. Fantastic selection of songs. Thank you for the scores. One of the songs was a massive risk.
But I'm not playing safe.

[ChristmasNeeve]

[Cherry Christmas]

The theme tune is the tune at the beginning of the show and thats what Alf said TV Theme Tunes

It is a theme tune though because it was always played at the end...a theme is something that runs through a series imo :laugh: anyhow it is what it is as they say

[The Grinch]

Wow thanks guys, I’m happy you all loved my rumba too

[Alf]

Once the show has been on I'm going to post a video of one of the dances on strictly that matched someone's song perfectly. It was uncannyIt was my foxtrot to McFly's "All about you"

Jade Goody's son danced his foxtrot to that.

Am I right?

[Alf]

Next is Barry and Dianne
Quickstep to I'll be there for you from Friends

[Time to Sleigh]

It was my foxtrot to McFly's "All about you"

Jade Goody's son danced his foxtrot to that.

Am I right?

Bobby Brazier did dance to that too. Also it's been used on strictly before that can't remember with who. I thought the judges may have marked down for that. If you knew it's wasn't an original choice how come you went for it?

[Alf]

Bobby Brazier did dance to that too. Also it's been used on strictly before that can't remember with who. I thought the judges may have marked down for that. If you knew it's wasn't an original choice how come you went for it?I was looking what type of song fits a foxtrot (I don't watch Strictly, so I don't know what fits what) whilst looking, I came across that video of Jade's son, and realised that's a song from the 2000s. So I'll just go with that.

[Time to Sleigh]

Anyone got any good ideas for themes for the semi final? Everyone has chosen one now so think between yourselves what would be good

[The Grinch]

I haven’t chosen one yet

[Nicky91]

i've had a wonderful time in this game, to top the leaderboard couple times i still am like WOW literally speechless

i was very happy with my dance partner, the lovely Michelle (whom i hope will get her first celeb partner next year)


not gonna say who i think might win it now, but all in all everyone remaining are strong and deserving semi finalists, be proud of how far you've come




semi final theme suggestions from me

Fight Songs: Songs What might get you into the final

&

Love & Heartbreak Songs

[Cherry Christmas]

aw well done Nicky I wanted you in the finals

[Time to Sleigh]

I haven’t chosen one yet

Oh sorry Barry I thought you had. Ok you choose one of the themes. Maru Annie or Oliver as the original judges one of you can choose the other

[Time to Sleigh]

Yep Nicky and Michelle have been eliminated.

Nicky thanks for playing once again and making it all the way to the quarter final you've been great

[Holly Christmas]

I've got a theme suggestion?? Brits winners?

[The Grinch]

How about girl bands vs boy bands?

[Holly Christmas]

How about girl bands vs boy bands?

Oh fantastic Baz.

[Alf]

Can one of the judges hurry up and pick a theme?

It's a two minute job. It doesn't need to take ten hours.

If you can't decide, then I'll choose the 1960s as a theme.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Is it two themes?

[Alf]

I've got a theme suggestion?? Brits winners?Define "Brit's winners?'

[The Grinch]

Bit award winners I’m thinking Kate ment

[Parmy]

Girl bands v boy bands has been done to death.

[Nicky91]

and this time playing in this without drama from me :amazed:

[Parmy]

[Yuki Maru Hoshi]

Girl bands v boy bands has been done to death.

There you go, the theme is loss/death/endings, etc...

*Jake said he had a migraine before. I think wait for him to recover a little.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

I don't mind which theme it is.

I'm very, very happy with my songs.

If I'm not, then the judges want shooting.

There's no way that I don't top the semi-final leader board. You can't possibly beat what I have.
