Strictly Tibb Dancing: The Grand Final!

[Time to Sleigh]

https://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=5805&stc=1&d=1700840702

It's been quite some time since we last played this, well to strictly Tibb Standards anyway

But it's here we are coming back. Bigger and Better than before. I'd like all past contestants to return but I'd love new players too!

You will be partnered with a strictly professional and will take a new theme and new dance on each show to aim to get your hands on my shiny balls. The Glitterball award is a rare thing on TIBB.
Only a select few own one. But do you have what it takes to win one?

If you wish to apply I would like
Your name?
Your dream strictly professional partner?
What you think you could bring to the show?
What you think to the strictly outfits?
What do you think your favourite dance would be?
If you could choose to dance to any song what would it be?
Describe yourself in 3 words?

Also I'm gonna be using an AI generator to make profiles for people. So describe in a few words what you would like your profile to sort of look like and I will see what I can do, you can describe it to look like yourself, you can send me a pic but that's a bit weird so you don't have to, or you could be someone completely different to yourself!


I would like applications by private message

Please do not say on this thread that you wish to play

[Time to Sleigh]

again please read the above post carefully do not say on here you want to play

The first contestant is Jake. Jakes dream partner would be Dianne Buswell. He says he will bring to the series determination, entertainment and sass. He says about the strictly outfits that the less sequins the better but it is strictly so he guesses he should accept it. He says his favourite dance would be the samba if he could do it right. He would love to dance to a banging 90s track, like you've got the love, set you free or sandstorm. He describes himself as fun, cheeky and affectionate. Give it up for you first contestant!

She says the strictly outfits are "gawjus darling! I'm a glitter Queen!" Her favourite dance would be a street commercial couples choice. She hopes she will get to dance to Rob and Raz featuring Leila K- Got to get. She describes herself as Krazy, Kind and Kooky! Give it up for contestant two, Kate!

Contestant three is Nikolai from the Netherlands. Nikolai describes himself as incredibly enthusiastic, always wants to have a good time and that he has a great sense of humour. He says he will bring to the show cheese, cheese and more cheese. A triple cheese pizza if you will. As to the strictly outfits he says he wants to go all out, if you want him in drag, he shall do drag Baby. If he were to choose a piece of music it would be Sir Cliff Richard with older. He thinks it's so intimate and magic perfect for a rumba. If he could choose to dance with anyone he would want to be with the hunk that is Vito. He wants to bring authentic unique and quality performances. His dream would be to perform an Argentine tango on the strictly floor! Give it up for contestant three, Nikolai!

Livia tells us she will bring two left feet and a packed lunch to the show, she describes herself as overstretched tired and emotional. Her dream partner would be Kai or Giovanni. She tells us her favourite dance would be the Argentine Tango, but if not the hokey cokey as that's what it's all about. If she could choose any song to dance to it would be El tango de Roxanne from Moulin rouge. Give it up for Livia!

Liam is a competitive and focused individual. He says he will take on every dance but he thinks he is more of a Latin guy. He wants someone who is willing to work him hard, and push him to his very best. He really really wants to win and will give it his all. Give it up for Liam!

Maybe as an alternative to judges you could do forum polls if there's no takers? I know that's not really what you want though. I hope you get some.

[Parmy]

I will judge... but I'm shaving the beard.

[Yuki Maru Hoshi]

I don't watch Strictly, but have seen a few seasons of Dancing with the Stars and love music in general, so can do with some judging... anyway, that's my resume... I don't have a beard to shave, though...

Ok Maru you are the first judge hope we get some more.

[Time to Sleigh]

Right Parm you can now be a judge too. Thanks. Need one or two more still

Sorry just seen your message. Ok we shall keep Parm as a dancer as he was originally on the line up as a player. Hope that's acceptable to you Parm.

Garfie, Mary, Annie and Oliver are the judges. This will start in just over ten days time as Livia is going away and I'd said I'd wait for her.

Can those confirmed judges all write on this thread please that they are ok to be the judges. Thankyou

So is it a fresh week or are you still going to be counting both weeks scores?

[Time to Sleigh]

So is it a fresh week or are you still going to be counting both weeks scores?

Doesn't feel right to do eliminations at Christmas. In fact what would everyone prefer, eliminations or you all stay and try and be the highest scorers at the end so that the top 4 scorers all make the final. I'm easy either way

[Holly Christmas]

Hopefully still counting both weeks scores or our efforts are wasted?

[Holly Christmas]

I'd prefer eliminations and becoming potential judges if need be

[Parmy]

Eliminations, makes it easier on the judges...

[Time to Sleigh]

I do think eliminations are more fun. However to get rid of someone at Christmas feels harsh. So think I will carry scores over to the third show. So that by that point you should have had 3 chances to get those points up.

[Parmy]

Hopefully still counting both weeks scores or our efforts are wasted?

Why is it wasted? It got you through to round 2.

[Time to Sleigh]

Annie can't judge on a weekend but hopefully she can on a Friday. As I can send songs to the judges in the morning. We could always have the show itself on the weekend. But please can someone see when Liam comes online tonight to remind him to send me his song by tomorrow morning as I'm going out in a bit and won't be on my phone until tomorrow. Thanks.

[Holly Christmas]

I can't tell Liam, he doesn't like me so he'll think I'm a nag lol.

And just to get us all in the mood for the show. Here is Cher. Come on everyone dance along!!

[Time to Sleigh]

Thankyou Kate and Nicky!

[Ammi]

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Omg I love those!

[The Grinch]

Those are great Jake!

[Cherry Christmas]

wonderful effort Jake :love:

[Holly Christmas]

Will the show be tonight by any chance?

[Time to Sleigh]

Will the show be tonight by any chance?

Nope. Only had ammis scores so far

[Holly Christmas]

I keep forgetting who the judges are

[Yuki Maru Hoshi]

I submitted. The selections were very strong this week. I thoroughly enjoyed reviewing them.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

There's no rush. :blush:

[Parmy]

I submitted. The selections were very strong this week. I thoroughly enjoyed reviewing them.

Thank you for my 10 Maru, but most importantly, thank you for being prompt.

Unlike all mouth no trousers garfie.

It's a slog sometimes. Be thankful for this week's seasonal songs. You've peeked.

[Yuki Maru Hoshi]

I can get that arranged. Any particular look you wish to go for?

I can give you a prompt/prompt-ish, or give you a list of possible prompts and you can throw in some crazy American prompts and go overboard with it creatively. Your pick. I like comedy. (and creativity)

No..you have to suffer all songs...:cheer2:

Cheekiness amusingly accepted. But it's also true that watching computers suffer trying to do simple things that should be really fun for them makes me really sad. I've had that kind of week with technology at home thanks to other people's bugs. All graphic-related, not music thankfully... that would've sounded horrific.

There's no rush. :blush:

It was easier this go-around because I had a rare break from child to fully focus. Plus it helps it's only 2:30pm here... I needed some holiday cheer after that other thing.

[Yuki Maru Hoshi]

Thank you for my 10 Maru, but most importantly, thank you for being prompt.

Legends say even the terminally online go offline for Christmas. Or so they say.

[Parmy]

Legends say even the terminally online go offline for Christmas. Or so they say.

Legends also said I refuse to diminish my character to survive in this house.
Big Brother..

[Time to Sleigh]

Yeah give me some prompts maru. Thanks

[Time to Sleigh]

Just Oliver to score now. Hopefully we will have our show tomorrow

Ok Jake. No problem :blush:

[Time to Sleigh]

Nikolai and Michelle Couples choice (Contemporary) to Santa Claus is coming to town
qVdTlIIM7cs

Maru
"Gives me riding home bus coming home from college/part time vibes. For the memory flash, this already rates pretty high for me. The dance combo is also equally emotive-inducing and thus, this is a gem"
Score: 10!

Simply Sparkling and Sensational!!!!

[Time to Sleigh]

Cherie and Vito Viennese Waltz to Carol of the bells
IDV7iHVoA6Q

breathtakingly beautiful Viennese Waltz

Jake and Katya Jive to Run Rudolph Run
4zKN5VjPGxc

Maru
"The song overpowers so much with the artist's own unique style that it doesn't invoke the Christmas theme for me as much some of the other selections. The dance is very fitting to the song selection though and I can easily see the vision of the person who chose it. Unfortunately this week is strong in selections so I have to rate this lower."
Score: 6

Oliver
Score: 8

Ammi
a jive that just put the joyful into Christmas
Score: 10!

TOTAL: 24

[Time to Sleigh]

Liam and Nancy Charleston to Hang your lights
XJuAm9TX0RM

Maru
"I can see this dance as being a treasured memory of some important night or critical life moment during the holidays. Or maybe part of a BB Christmas music insert. It fits the theme and also adds a personal-ness that the other selections have not managed. Well done."

Score: 10!

Oliver
Score: 7

Ammi
a beautiful unwrapping of every step of your Charleston
Score: 8

TOTAL: 25

[Time to Sleigh]

I've got a great song. Don't want to rush it but don't want to risk anyone taking it.

I wasn't too happy with a Waltz for the Christmas theme. There really ain't many options to go with, most best Christmas songs are upbeat. But I think I chose perfectly. It actually does make a good song for a waltz. I think I made the correct decision choosing that over "Mud's" "Lonely this Christmas"

[Nicky91]

whew me topping the board alongside Nessa


:o


also coincidental we having both contemporaries :laugh:

You did great. You're always brilliant on this.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

I have a question. When I look for karaoke classics I get so many different lists.
How do we know the song is actually a karaoke classic or just a karaoke song?

[ChristmasNeeve]

Yes this round is confusing me, do we need to pick a dance too or just any song this time?

[Holly Christmas]

Jake has sent out the dances? Did you get one?

[Time to Sleigh]

Just songs that instantly come to mind if you were to think of a karaoke bar. A song someone would want to sing along to

[Yuki Maru Hoshi]

I didn't receive a PM either, actually (oh it's for dancers :laugh:... I'm crazy)

Are cartoons and animated movies included or not?

[Time to Sleigh]

If people sing them then sure

[Parmy]

So any song then...and we then hope the judges ain't all thinking bat out of hell.

[Time to Sleigh]

Basically if you get a bunch of drunk girls or guys in a karaoke bar and you happened to be walking past it's a song you think they would be doing. Think along the lines of Sweet Caroline or the mainstream 80s and 90s pop songs

But can they be recent songs as well or only 80s and 90s songs?

[Time to Sleigh]

I'm sure any song is fine :joker:

Maru wanted an AI of her as a judge. Hope she likes.

"As a judge I'd imagine my background as a musician first, but with a focus on performance, especially for choreography with ballads, synth and emotive elements. For what I would look for in a performer, it would be being creativity-driven first. Strong confidence and not afraid to show off their own unique signature style."
