Thanks judges. Once Maru sends in, in a bit, we should be having a show tonight. Any time preferences?

[Parmy]

Half past titties..

[Strictly Jake]

Doesn't look like we will get a show tonight unless Maru sends in the next couple of hours

[Kate!]

Doesn't look like we will get a show tonight unless Maru sends in the next couple of hours

Oh flipping heck

[Maru]

Doesn't look like we will get a show tonight unless Maru sends in the next couple of hours

Yes, sorry about that. Didn't expect to be out so long during the morning (was meant to be a short outing) and was not free again until night. I just sent in my scores :love:

[Parmy]

[Strictly Jake]

I'm gonna post the first performances now so people can discuss them and then the second performances tonight

[Strictly Jake]

We have reached the Semi Final of Strictly Tibb Dancing. Our final five have all worked to hard to get to here and they all want to make the final. The themes this time are GirlBands Vs Boybands and Songs about loss or endings. It's time to get to the dancefloor!

[Strictly Jake]

GirlBands VS BoyBands

[Strictly Jake]

Parmnion and Karen Cha Cha to Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps
_Uz9qQzMsdI

Maru: Very smooth sounding cha cha. 8
Nicky: super slick and clean cuban breaks, very nice arm placement, fun performance. 8.
Annie: Great start, I enjoyed this. 9
Oliver: 7
Kate: 7
Score: 39/50

[Strictly Jake]

Barry and Dianne Jive to Bye Bye Bye
Eo-KmOd3i7s

Maru: Compelling combination of a jive with a literal interpretation of loss. Everyone seems so happy. 8
Nicky: not really the fastest jive we've seen, also not exactly most suitable jive song, but it was a ok performance. 7
Annie: Good try, this worked well. 8
Oliver: 8
Kate: 10!
Score: 41/50

[Parmy]

Kate obviously scoring on musical taste again.

[Strictly Jake]

Alf and Jowita Samba to Spice up your life
9wfpXI5PKlw

Maru: Very hot. 8
Nicky: Ed Balls outsold, Russell Grant outsold, this was entertainment at its finest, oh yeah and good samba technique as well. 10!
Annie: Ultimate girl group and good samba rhythm. 9.
Oliver: 10!
Kate: 10!
Score: 47/50

[Strictly Jake]

Cherie and Vito Salsa to As long as you love me
0Gl2QnHNpkA

Maru: Would not connect Salsa with this, but it really works. 9
Nicky: wrong backstreet song for a salsa, should've gone with everybody then, no salsa beat whatsoever, more fits like an american smooth. 5.
Annie: This was OK, not my fave but worked for the theme and style. 8
Oliver: 9
Kate: 9
Score: 40/50

[Strictly Jake]

I await fireworks for a certain judges score of cheries performance....:hehe:

[Strictly Jake]

Vanessa and Kai Tango to Sway
knlcaEDkPl0

Maru: Very sexy and classy. 9
Nicky: HOT, SEXY, STEAMY Staccato piece of lovelyness, wow, am speechless. 9.
Annie: This worked well for me and was great. Well done. 10!
Oliver: 9
Kate: 8
Score: 45/50

[Strictly Jake]

[Strictly Jake]

Performance Two later on. Get chatting everyone :joker:

[Vanessa]

That went better than I expected. Thanks judges!
Some fantastic song choices there.

[Kate!]

Kate obviously scoring on musical taste again.

No Parm. I just didn't rate it as good as the others. Oliver also gave you a 7 yet you single out me to pick on. Sour grapes. Get over yourself. I'm not a punchbag for your frustration.

[Nicky91]

i mainly scored based on if it fits the dance well

sorry Cherie for that 5, but i stand my ground, that backstreet boys song hasn't got much salsa vibes for me personally

[Cherie]

sorry Nicky but have you played a salsa over it because every other judge disagrees with you?

[Vanessa]

i mainly scored based on if it fits the dance well

sorry Cherie for that 5, but i stand my ground, that backstreet boys song hasn't got much salsa vibes for me personally

I'm biased. That would have been an automatic 10 from me. I love Backstreet boys :laugh:

[Cherie]

You know you are going to sink someone by giving them a straight 5 as well so its bad form

[Cherie]

anyway lets move on with it ...what can you do

[Nicky91]

sorry Nicky but have you played a salsa over it because every other judge disagrees with you?

i just have dance expertise tbh, watching all these dancing shows


it can work for a Rumba i think, and at a stretch maybe a Foxtrot? since it is a very cheesy love song

[Parmy]

I thought evicted players only got to judge the round after they were evicted anyway. But what can you do, if Kate thinks that jive was 3 points better than the cha cha then her head must be firmly up her arse.

Its pointless putting the effort in just to receive really poor scores cause a judge doesn't enjoy the song.

[Nicky91]

:eyes: and i didn't say anything in here, just sent the pm like a ninja

[Kate!]

And again, Oliver also gave you a 7. I didn't judge it on musical taste so say what you like. Its my opinion. Why just snipe at me when 2 of us gave you a lower score. I happen to love the pussycat dolls but the others were better.

[Alf]

Only 47 points? I was expecting the full maximum 50 points.

[Alf]

I may have a good lead after the first song, but I know I'm not safe yet. Not with Nicky voting. I know I could easily recieve a score of 1 or 2 from him.

[Strictly Jake]

Songs about Loss or endings

[Strictly Jake]

Parmnion and Karen Foxtrot to Autumn Leaves
dXtzxOH2NF4

Maru: Great voice for a Foxtrot. 9
Nicky: who doesn't love a bit of lou rawls and a classy romantic foxtrot, this was good. 8.
Annie: Lovely Foxtrot. 8.
Oliver: 10!
Kate: 8
Score: 43/50

[Vanessa]

I may have a good lead after the first song, but I know I'm not safe yet. Not with Nicky voting. I know I could easily recieve a score of 1 or 2 from him.

Well done Alf. :D

[Strictly Jake]

Barry and Dianne Waltz to Stole
5o01uU7OdnQ

Maru:
Very modern sound with a waltz. Goes very well together for a nighttime carride and feels fresh. 10!
Nicky: you definitely stole that ticket into the final i think, get it, such a pretty oldschool yet modern take on such a simple beautiful dance as a waltz, stunning. 9.
Annie: Enjoyed this contemporary waltz. Well done. 9.
Oliver: 7
Kate: 7
Score: 42/50

[Strictly Jake]

Alf and Jowita Viennese Waltz to After your gone
mrqi5BRJM30

Maru: A little repetitive for me in comparison to the other choices. 7
Nicky: never seen this choice for a viennese waltz before, very original, FAB-U-LOUS darling. 8.
Annie: Didn't think i would like this, but it worked. Well done. 9.
Oliver: 8
Kate: 9
Score: 41/50

[Strictly Jake]

Cherie and Vito Rumba to Tears in heaven
JxPj3GAYYZ0

Maru: Very sad!!! 9
Nicky: i am in tears from this, this was the GOAT! contender vibes my darling, contender vibes. 10!
Annie: Perfect for a rumba! 10!
Oliver: 10!
Kate: 10!
Score: 49/50

[Strictly Jake]

Vanessa and Kai American Smooth to Tainted Love
7wn5ENPY7oc

Maru: I like the added intensity of the dance choice. But most importantly, this stopped my toddler in her tracks and she started to slow clap. Keeping a toddler's attention is indeed a difficult task so you get a 10!
Nicky: love this song, although must confess i do not 1, 2, 3 see this fitting well with a classy dance like an american smooth, fits a tango better the vibe of this song, or jive, although not bad. 7.
Annie: Loved this! 10!
Oliver: 9
Kate: 10!
Score: 46/50

[Strictly Jake]

Which means it's Barry and Dianne VS Parmnion and Karen as to which one makes it to the final!

[Alf]

See you in Blackpool

[Strictly Jake]

Congratulations Alf, Vanessa and Cherie you have all made the final!!

[Vanessa]

Really? I can't believe it :amazed:
Well done everyone. That was a very difficult round.

[Cherie]

Nicky redeemed :laugh:

[Parmy]

I should have went for Clapton, but with the songs connections I thought the judges would know it's me.

Vote me out this time please, we need a past winner for final judging.

[Parmy]

See you in Blackpool

Glad they liked it, well done sir.:fist:

[Maru]

Everyone did really great this round. Most of you easily made 9s and 10s if it were a taste thing, but because of it being later in competition and needing to score more competitively, some were lower than I'd personally liked. That feels fairer from me at least..

Well done Barry. You've done brilliantly :love:

[Alf]

Not liking the format for the final.

We have to choose 2 of our previous songs from the season. Thata bit boring for a final.

How about choosing just one of our previous songs along with the showdance. And maybe add a valentines love dance? Seeing as it will be around valentines day by the time the final gets under way.

Well you lot who made the final you all decide on a theme each. Then you can each choose a song for each of those themes. How does that sound?

[Alf]

I'm happy to go with any one of our dances from the previous rounds. A Valentines love dance and a showdance.

That would be my suggestion. If anyone else wants to add their opinions, then let's hear them?

[Kate!]

I'd suggest what Alf said about a Valentine dance and a showdance. But no songs from previous rounds. They've already been judged and scored. Seems pointless. A new theme for the final please

[Parmy]

I'm happy with the final as it is....ive already sent as well.

[Vanessa]

I don't mind. Whatever the majority wants then we will do.

[Cherie]

The final is judged by an anonymous poll of the showdance, so it does seem a bit pointless sending the previously judged songs though I realise you want to stay true to the format of strictly....I am happy either way but it seems a waste of the judges time its the public poll will decide

[Cherie]

I guess what you could do because there are never that many votes on the public poll is have one final dance with a valentine theme judged by the judges and the showdance on the public poll and add the votes together for the winner?

[Parmy]

Any theme other than valentines and I'm fine with it.

[Maru]

A public vote would be more interesting and includes judges so already if they vote so... I think the finalists did well enough to survive our hodgepodge of judging to this point that bringing it to the public would be nice... i dont know how strictly does it, though.

Personally I'd love to see how public vote responds to the full roster of songs/dances... it could be spoilered and treated as a portfolio for each dancer to inform on their unique selections and then that could inform the final vote, but not decide it?

*Also please leave voting open a bit longer to torture the dancers and amuse posters.. I can't post much on forum right now, but judges can tag others to come vote also...

+1 valentines theme

[Strictly Jake]

So confused.

[Strictly Jake]

You know what as a host I'm going to have to reign control

So I'm getting the vibe you don't want repeat performances

Therefore there will be two themes

Love & Hate

First theme is love, romance what have you

Second theme is Hate, betrayal, cheaters, evil whatever

Whoever is placed as the top two from the judges scores will then go through to showing their show dance which the winner will be decided by an anonymous public poll. Dances coming shortly.

I'm sure some of you may not agree with this but if we keep arguing about it it's gonna take forever

[Vanessa]

But shouldn't everyone get the chance to do the showdance? As finalists?
I'm sure it was like this during the last game:suspect:

[Strictly Jake]

But shouldn't everyone get the chance to do the showdance? As finalists?
I'm sure it was like this during the last game:suspect:

But then again what would the point of the judges scoring be?

[Vanessa]

But then again what would the point of the judges scoring be?

They judge the new theme songs.
But usually the winner is decided by a poll?

[Strictly Jake]

They judge the new theme songs.
But usually the winner is decided by a poll?

Ok fair enough all of the showdances will enter the poll. Right I'll send dances tomorrow

[Strictly Jake]

I've sent dances. Need songs sending back plus showdance choices. Thanks

[Vanessa]

I'll try to do it after work.

[Cherie]

Are you going to do the poll for the showdances first Jake, would make the final scores more interesting if the judges scores were revealed afterwards I think? you show though so your call

[Strictly Jake]

[Cherie]

Thought the public poll was going up first before the judges points were added?

[Strictly Jake]

Thought the public poll was going up first before the judges points were added?

Yeah the poll is up now. The public votes amounts will be added to the judges scores. I will do the show tomorrow night so that the poll is up for 24 hours.

[Cherie]

Yeah the poll is up now. The public votes amounts will be added to the judges scores. I will do the show tomorrow night so that the poll is up for 24 hours.

Cheers Jake

[Parmy]

I didn't expect the judges scores to count.. wish I had tried harder now.

[Vanessa]

Good luck everyone! Loving the showdances.

[Cherie]

I agree 4 great choices, let the best man or woman win :dance:

[Strictly Jake]

Really hope Maru scores today or tomorrow morning the latest as I'm off on holiday on Saturday so needs to end tomorrow

[Cherie]

Prayers for Maru's scores

[Vanessa]

I tried my best with both the showdance and the new songs.
Good luck guys. You're all worthy winners :love:

[Alf]

I finish work at 7:30pm tomorrow. So I would appreciate if you did the results at around 8pm tomorrow?

[Parmy]

I'm an 8pm kind of guy as well.

[Maru]

So 2pm here :laugh: It'll be almost like BB I suppose. There is a brief moment where we're not offset the same amount of hours thanks to daylight savings and I get to watch BB a bit earlier. It was nice while it was lasted... for like a week.

[Strictly Jake]

I finish work at 7:30pm tomorrow. So I would appreciate if you did the results at around 8pm tomorrow?

Can't give a definite time as I'll be at work and i could finish any point between 8pm and 9.30pm. so it'll be around then. Is that ok?

[Vanessa]

Can't give a definite time as I'll be at work and i could finish any point between 8pm and 9.30pm. so it'll be around then. Is that ok?

Omg it was close!



I reckon if weekly scores were added you would win.

[Alf]

Don't think I got enough credit from some of the judges to pick a song about hate to a Charleston. There was basically nothing. I had to dig deep and find something I'd never even heard of before, which fit perfectly. My song was unique, daring and fun and I got beat by a safe, obvious choice song by Cee lo Green by 2 points.

I was robbed. I should have been the winner.

[Parmy]

I'm just happy with who all picked my showdance as there favourite, and also the new judge maru, and there overall appreciation of nearly all my entries.

It was fun, and for a change, January flew by.

[Alf]

I'm now officially retired from these games.

Next ones winners only anyway to find the ultimate winner. You could always judge though.:shrug:

[Cherie]

what the hell :laugh: thanks so much no votes in the showdance thought I was toast

thanks to Jake for running a smooth show and to the judges who did a great job and my fellow contestants for being so good :dance:

[Ammi]

…well done to Cherie and to all contestants/judges and Jake the host…:love:…Maru, you were an excellent signing for the judging panel, I knew that you would be and I’m going to take a lil’ bit of credit in directing you there…plus 10% of all of your future Strictly earnings …in all seriousness, I hope that you’ll be a regular in any future editions…but yeah, well done all involved in all ways…:love:..

[Alf]

I see Nicky took the judging of the final seriously, by giving a 10 to all 8 song choices. Basically a waste of time as a judge. He made zero difference to the scores.

[Cherie]

Do I get a cheeky All Stars award?

[Barry.]

Well done Cherie

[AnnieK]

Congrats Cherie :love:
You all played great

[Cherie]

Thanks all, I see Alf is as salty as ever

[Maru]

Congrats to Cherie for the win :dance: Also, congrats to all that made it this far. It was enjoyable to watch as people progressed through the game.

Rightfully you deserve the most credit, because otherwise I'd gone idle more than likely. My only regret is that it's busier than I'd liked at home, but glad to have participated and helped out. So yes, please invite me again in the future, Jake... :love:

[Niamh.]

Good job Cherie.

I didn't deduct any points from you for the theme Parm, I said it was borderline not that it didn't fit

[Alf]

Good job Cherie.

I didn't deduct any points from you for the theme Parm, I said it was borderline not that it didn't fitNiamh, you voted for me in the showdance and gave both my songs a score of 10.

You obviously know that I was the deserved winner.

You saw that my classic by Nat King Cole for the theme of "Love" with a title, that spelt out "love" also a classic song was beaten by a guy from Britain's got talent with a title, that was about dancing alone, a very boring, morbid song. Hardly love.

You judged well, the other judges need to have a long hard look at their judgment.

We know that I was the deserverd winner.

My song won the showdance poll and the judges took it away from me. When both my dances were on the mark. On the mark on theme. On the mark on dance category and on the mark on quality.

Totally robbed.

Sour grapes at its finest, if you won I would have congratulated you... not you though....no no...just go on and on about how you are the best...well sorry but you were beaten fair and square so just get over it :shrug:

Its funny you berated Nicky for giving songs a 10 but when you get a 10 its all fine and dandy...

[Cherie]

Good job Cherie.

[Cherie]

Yes but later in the Autumn

[Alf]

Go on then, I'll come out of retirement.

Get it started immediately though, I ain't waiting around too long.

[Alf]

No adding judges week by week.

Just have your set judges for it all. And some sensible judges. No attention seekers.

[Vanessa]

100% yes. Love this game.

[Nicky91]
