Strictly Tibb Dancing: Celebrity Edition(Christmas Special)

[Alf]

Yeah but some songs change pace later on through or take a while to build up. :laugh:I'm confident in myself that I've chosen the correct order in terms of fitting the dance (or at least attempting to, I know it's sometimes difficult) and being able to entertain an audience with the song. Also thinking outside the box and being a fairly unique choice that impressed me.

[jones89]

Alot of good songs!.. i feel some killer votes coming on :joker:

[AnnieK]

Yes.

Was it a strong week, do you think?

[Strictly Jake]

Here you go Benjamin

My Rankings for Week 1: Musicals week

14) My favourite was Alan and Dianne with their Jive from the musical six. I think this was really out of the box, thought was given to it, and I think it would be so much fun with Alan and Dianne performing it. Thought it was an amazing choice

13) incredibly my next favourite was Hugh and Amy with their quickstep from Mulan. How Hugh and Amy went home after this I have no idea, it suits the Quickstep so much and I've had loved to see this performed. Hugh was robbed

12) Harry and Katya with their foxtrot from West side story was my next favourite, again this was a shock that this didn't do better in the rankings, I thought this was beautiful and moving

11) next in my ranking would be Emma and Nikita with their Rumba to the little mermaid, I think Emma would make an amazing Ariel. I think this song is perfect for a Rumba. It was a solid choice

10) following closely behind is Danny and Michelle with their American smooth to Gaston. Just as a note to all players here, this player really thought about which celebrity they were, I can imagine Danny Jones really embracing the role of Gaston, so that's why I liked it so much

9) My next choice would be Holly and Kai's Charleston to Waterloo, I think this would be a really fun routine and a Charleston should be fun. And who doesnt love the mamma Mia films?!

8) my next choice is Graham and Jowitas samba, a samba and musicals is a hard fit, I think choosing little shop of horrors was great as it is a quirky musical and samba is a quirky dance I think this worked well

7) Mutya and Johannes are next. Paso to phantom of the opera, great, but I feel done a couple of times on strictly, it felt quite a safe choice, however I think the person really thought what Mutya would look amazing as and putting her in that role in phantom of the opera, it would be pretty iconic to watch

6) going over to the bottom half of the leaderboard now but still I liked was Michelle and Gorkas contemporary, I've still yet to watch Hamilton so didn't feel emotionally invested to the song which is pretty crucial for this dance but it was still a good choice as it wasn't a predictable musical or song

5) My next choice would be Leona and Carlos waltz, this scored pretty highly in the rankings however I'm not really sure if I was keen, firstly I think musicals week should really require songs with words, and the word waltz is in the title I think it was a bit of an easy choice, still beautiful and Leona would smash this but it wasn't one of my favourites of the night

4) Next is Dwayne and Nadiyaz hopelessly devoted to you, this scored very high in the rankings, it's a beautiful song and would suit the dance but would it really suit Dwayne Johnson? Also it's been used quite a few times on strictly and I would have liked a bit more of a risk

3) landing in my bottom three is, Kylie and Vito, the player that has given Kylie Minogue has an amazing celebrity here, Kylie and musicals just go hand in hand, think moulin rouge think burlesque think Chicago, it's Kylie! Aladdin wasn't the vibe for her. The song and dance go together but I was underwhelmed! Step it up player!!


2) so not quite landing as my least favourite but almost there is, Jennifer and Alijaz, I think Jennifer and Alijaz would suit Dirty Dancing a lot, but like this is probably one of the most done songs on strictly ever, I was hoping for more, I have high hopes for this couple though!

1) bottom of my ranking is Tiger and Karen and I'm sorry to this person but really the choice for the tango is a random song from ice age in a musical that I don't think really exists and if it does I doubt this song is in it, this scored quite high on the rankings overall and I don't really understand why, the amount of amazing choices that there would be for tango in musicals week, this was a massive risk that for me didn't pay off!

[Alf]

Was it a strong week, do you think?I thought it was better than the last round. A few good efforts there. Was very impressed with the one I chose for top spot.

[Strictly Jake]

I'm confident in myself that I've chosen the correct order in terms of fitting the dance (or at least attempting to, I know it's sometimes difficult) and being able to entertain an audience with the song. Also thinking outside the box and being a fairly unique choice that impressed me.

I agree completely with your top three

[AnnieK]

I thought it was better than the last round. A few good efforts there. Was very impressed with the one I chose for top spot.

Ooh. Good stuff

[jones89]

Guys, what’s the differene between a Waltz and a Viennese Waltz? And also what’s the difference between a Tango and an Argentine Tango? :conf: :joker:

[Benjamin]

Voted

[Benjamin]

What’s the next theme? In case I survive, I’m curious.

[Strictly Jake]

Benjamin the next theme is....jungle related in celebration of I'm a celebrity starting. It can be a song with a jungle related song title or band, animals included!

Oh god, not sure where to start with that but it’s nice and open. :love:

[AnnieK]

Guys, what’s the differene between a Waltz and a Viennese Waltz? And also what’s the difference between a Tango and an Argentine Tango? :conf: :joker:


Vienesse waltz can be quicker than a regular waltz

Ballroom Tango emphasizes centre and upper body movement more, Argentine Tango emphasizes more on the movement of the waist and lower body

[Strictly Jake]

Vienesse waltz can be quicker than a regular waltz

Ballroom Tango emphasizes centre and upper body movement more, Argentine Tango emphasizes more on the movement of the waist and lower body

Oh thanks Annie I forgot to reply to this.

[Strictly Jake]

Jones try YouTube to see strictly tangos and strictly argentine tangos, and waltz and Viennese waltz. There are really quite different, musics usually very different too.

[Vanessa]

Im going to rate original songs higher. So anything different will score high with me.

[AnnieK]

Voted

[Benjamin]

When you say original what do you mean? I don’t watch SCD so do you mean that have been used in that before? Or ones that just seem obvious choices?

[Benjamin]

Also are many left to vote?

[Vanessa]

When you say original what do you mean? I don’t watch SCD so do you mean that have been used in that before? Or ones that just seem obvious choices?

Something outside the box.

[Benjamin]

Something outside the box.

Ahh I get you yeah. I also factored in the description of what the dance was representing and if I thought it fit.

[jones89]

Vienesse waltz can be quicker than a regular waltz

Ballroom Tango emphasizes centre and upper body movement more, Argentine Tango emphasizes more on the movement of the waist and lower body

Ah thankyou x

[jones89]

Something outside the box.

Outside the box is great but you also have to make sure it fits the dance which can be tricky.. depending on what dance you have AND the theme

[Benjamin]

Outside the box is great but you also have to make sure it fits the dance which can be tricky.. depending on what dance you have AND the theme

And your celebrity. Would it fit them.

[Vanessa]

Outside the box is great but you also have to make sure it fits the dance which can be tricky.. depending on what dance you have AND the theme

Yes of course.
If it doesn't fit the theme or the dance I'm scoring lower.

[Benjamin]

Yes of course.
If it doesn't fit the theme or the dance I'm scoring lower.

Here for your brutal voting :joker:

[jones89]

And your celebrity. Would it fit them.

True

[Benjamin]

There was one song choice I hated so much but it fit the brief and dance well so I removed my hate of the song from my judging as that wouldn’t be fair. :laugh:

[AnnieK]

There was one song choice I hated so much but it fit the brief and dance well so I removed my hate of the song from my judging as that wouldn’t be fair. :laugh:

Tell us which one it is after the results - I'm intrigued

[AnnieK]

Ah thankyou x

You're welcome :love:

[Benjamin]

Tell us which one it is after the results - I'm intrigued

Oh I will hahaha. Like if somebody had used monster mash I wouldn’t have marked them down because I personally hate the song…


…I’d mark them down for being uncreative. :laugh:

[AnnieK]

Oh I will hahaha. Like if somebody had used monster mash I wouldn’t have marked them down because I personally hate the song…

[Alf]

[Benjamin]

No. Don't be telling which songs are not yours. We're not supposed to give away who we are.

No I meant I’d say right at the very end, as in after the final.

[Vanessa]

Ranking sent. Some interesting choices.
One was fantastic. I try to be objective

[Vanessa]

This was a tough round, so well done everyone.

[Vanessa]

One of the songs is an absolute favourite of mine. I'll reveal all after the he game is finished.

[AnnieK]

How many sets of votes are you waiting on Jake? Am not around much this weekend so would like to know if I have to find another song or if I've been sent packing :laugh:

[jones89]

I'm totally fine if I have to leave. I have struggled a lot with this theme.

Same! And as everyone in the history of reality tv says “I thought i’d be out week one, so i’m grateful to still be here” :joker: it’s truee

[Benjamin]

I'm totally fine if I have to leave. I have struggled a lot with this theme.

Yeah this game is a lot harder than I was anticipating haha. I was like find a song for a dance, how hard can that be. Turns out very :laugh:

I’m enjoying it though, especially as I’m having to branch out to genres I wouldn’t normally listen to and discovered some great songs. Been some amazing songs in this too I’ve added to my usual Spotify list.

[Kate!]

I'm listening to the songs now to make a fair decision. I'll be as quick as I can...

But seriously, me either. Next weeks theme I’m already struggling with if I survive :laugh:

[Nicky91]

I stand with Baz


i have to tbh, considering i beat him in TiBB BB in a H2H eviction, i owe him, so yes we all need to wait patiently for him to score, no huge rush


we can also continue through christmas, and maybe also with new years eve/day if we have to (do think that would also make an interesting theme honestly, celebration songs theme for new years eve :think:)

[Vanessa]

Come on Barry!

[AnnieK]

No sign of Barry yet?

[Benjamin]

He hasn’t been online since midnight. Maybe at work?

[AnnieK]

[Benjamin]

Oh I had a question. What are all the dance styles used for this game?

Is it just the ones we’ve all used so far? Or are there others not yet used?

[Vanessa]

Im so sorry Nicky and Parm. This game is so unpredictable it could literally be anyone going.

[Alf]

:joker: very good AlfHow I would define it is. Any song that is about or has a word in the title of something to do with or that you might find in a jungle.

[Vanessa]

Jungle is going to be so difficult. :laugh:

I wouldn't know where to start :bawling:

[Benjamin]

Yeah that’s what i took it as too.

[Benjamin]

I wouldn't know where to start :bawling:

I’d say wait for your dance to be assigned as that will give you more of an idea in tempo you’re going to need and then you can start searching from there.

[Cherie]

oh I meant to use a killer....must remember for next time

Sorry to see you go Parm and Nicky

as I understand it Jungle can also have animals in the song?

[Alf]

oh I meant to use a killer....must remember for next time

Sorry to see you go Parm and Nicky

as I understand it Jungle can also have animals in the song?If they're jungle animals. I expect most will go the animal route here.

Ahh now I get it! Right I'll just wait to see what my dance is. :amazed:

[Vanessa]

If they're jungle animals. I expect most will go the animal route here.

Yes

Is it just the ones we’ve all used so far? Or are there others not yet used?

Pretty much all that you've seen yeah..if you get to the final you'll have performed almost every single one of them. I will be adding Street Dance at some point as that also gets used on strictly as does theatre jazz. There may be a round in a later week where it will be around the world themed with specific cultural dances eg Bollywood, Highland Fling etc

[Strictly Jake]

As for the jungle theme. Any word or words in the title of the song or the artist doing it having something to do with Jungle. Eg Lion. Monkey. Snake.

What if the artist name is jungle related but not the song?

Yeah that's allowed

Yep you did

[Strictly Jake]

My Rankings for Week 2.

1. Danny and Michelle- The stars the moon and you - I absolutely loved the concept of this song being used for a Foxtrot and it being a The Shining routine. I thought it was very very clever. Lovely song too!

2. Emma and Nikita- Bad moon rising-What an amazing idea to base it on Hermione! This song was absolutely perfect for a Charleston!

3. Tiger and Karen- how high the moon-Love a really old school track being used. It works well for a werewolf routine. I'm surprised that Tiger was one of the ones to go

4. Alan and Dianne- secret- This dance and song just fit together perfectly. I remember being really excited when this song was sent to me!

5. Harry and Katya- la cucaracha-Again I'm surprised this didn't perform well in the ratings. It was hard to pick a samba song for a horror theme. But the whole killer cockroaches thing was out of the box. I liked it!

6. Holly and Kai- midnight danger- Very original song choice and really suited the paso Doble!

7. Dwayne and Nadiya- psycho killer- despite enjoying mileys music I've never heard this so it was a great choice. Very good for the dance

8. Michelle and Gorka- Remains of the day- Very much suited the Quickstep. Enjoyed it!

9. Kylie and Vito- witchcraft- Yeah this was a better week for Kylie. It was enjoyable!

10. Leona and Carlos- sweet dreams- I like the song but I didn't think it suited contemporary that much and also there could have been a wow moment for Leona this week and it didn't wow me

11. Jennifer and Alijaz- Horror soundtracks- I felt this week could have been better for Jennifer. Hopefully she will impress me more next week

12. Mutya and Johannes- She Wolf- I just feel this was a bit predictable.

13. Graham and Jowita- Buffy- The dance was a waltz. It didn't suit a waltz at all, sorry

[Alf]

Are we getting our dances tonight Jake?

[Vanessa]

Ok I'm feeling more positive now.

[Strictly Jake]

Are we getting our dances tonight Jake?

I've sent them all out now

[Strictly Jake]

I'm gonna be devastated if I don't make it to Christmas week.

Making it to Christmas week is like the real Strictly making it to Blackpool.

Think of everything in a jungle. From greenery, forests, pond life, mammals, reptiles, insects, birds ect.. Adventure.

I even tried canopy 😂

Nothing seems to fit this dance.

[Alf]

Only one person is leaving this round. So we all have a 10 in 11 chance of getting through.

We all have good odds to progress.

Be confident.

[Benjamin]

Ok I finally found something :clap1:


I totally overthought the theme and should have just reigned myself in to keeping it simple much sooner :joker:

It's not giving anything away to tell Nicky where i placed him? As that's all only being revealed at the end of the game and I want to tell him now.

I actually gave La Cucaracha my 12 points. I thought it was a brilliant choice, out of the box, great tune for his particular dance as well. Was really shocked to see it in the bottom two, literally.

[Benjamin]

Hopefully everyone sends soon as I’m curious to see what route everyone went down

[Vanessa]

At this point it could be anyone.

Hopefully everyone sends soon as I’m curious to see what route everyone went down

It definitely wasn't easy.

[jones89]

You should never have been eliminated. I liked yours. I put yours in sixth place out of twelve.

Ha same here !

[Benjamin]

I defo think I’m gone this round. I’m still massively questioning my choice, which I haven’t done for the past two. :laugh:

[Cherie]

I sent mine last night, I am heading off now to stay overnight with a friend so wont be back until tomorrow evening so dont be harrassing me to score if Jake posts the songs :fist:

I've been sent a message by beso. Apparently he's unhappy as I didn't explain his concept properly. He said just you wait til I get back. So players let me ask would it have made a difference


He sent this concept

We are going to transform into werewolfs as we dance.

What I put was

They are going to turn into werewolfs as they dance

So players would it have made a difference to your ratings??

Nah. I got the gist

[Kate!]

No difference whatsoever. The wording is only very slightly different?

[Strictly Jake]

He's still going on...

Our first couple to take to the floor are Tiger and Karen with a Jive to how high the moon(Their concept is changing into werewolves through the dance)

This is literally what I put. Transform and change are the same word. How silly.

This is what he sent

Is it just me that doesn't get what hes threatening me for?

Seems that they’re salty.. no one should be threatening anyone over a game fs

[Benjamin]

For me Beso wasn’t in my bottom half of rankings (I won’t say exactly where he was in the top half). The wording for me wouldn’t have altered his position personally for me as i actually thought his song and concept was good, and was surprised he was the 2nd lowest overall.

Is it just me that doesn't get what hes threatening me for?Don't worry about it. Take it as an honour that some people have the passion to be disappointed for not succeeding in your game. That means your game is competitive. I know that I shall be very disappointed if I get knocked out.

Some people just like winning and want to succeed. It's not a bad thing.

Just laugh and embrace it. It's all part of healthy competition.

It's not your fault Parm is out, it's on him and nobody else. He'll get over it in time.

I agree. This game is a lot more competitive than I was expecting (which I love) and I’d also be gutted to be knocked out.

I did feel for Beso going, for me personally, it was nowhere near the bottom. But that’s not on you Jake (I understood his concept), it’s us who ranked the songs.

[Kate!]

I scored it lowest.

- hides -

I might as well fess up now, cos he'll find out at the end of the game anyway....

[Kate!]

Is the show still tomorrow or might there be a chance of today?

[Strictly Jake]

No it'll be tomorrow before I'm a celeb

I decided to watch Strictly tonight for the first time. It was actually pretty good.

Ohhhh same. Tasha and Sarah were friggin amazing!!!

[Benjamin]

Ohhhh same. Tasha and Sarah were friggin amazing!!!

Yeah, definitely my faves I saw tonight. The blind guy (Chris?) and his partner were good too. That must be so hard for both of them to get a routine but they nailed it.

[Vanessa]

Jamie and Michelle are my favourites :love:

[Strictly Jake]

[jones89]

Agree on all 3 points :joker:

[Strictly Jake]

By the way next week, Everyone gets couples choice, just as Sarah had it tonight, it's icons week! So get thinking about who your personal icons are, and medleys and mashups are not only allowed...they are encouraged!

[Benjamin]

Is couple choice any dance? Or just a choice from the ones we’re already using?

[Strictly Jake]

It's your own interpretation of a dance. Its more about the music artist your picking. But maybe try to think who your celebrity might choose rather than yourself

Perfect. Love me a good mash up which is done well. Although so many at the moment are just annoying “dj’s” mashing tracks together over an EDM beat - stupid tik tok :fist: (not all, some are surprisingly done well).

[Strictly Jake]

I will reveal at this stage, last week, some killer votes were used!

One against Michelle and Gorka, and one against Alan and Dianne! How will that influence our rankings this week!

[Benjamin]

As in killer votes used for this current round (jungle?)

[Benjamin]

Oh wait ignore me, we haven’t ranked the jungle songs :joker:

In my defence I’m ill lol

Ooooh some fantastic choices and some I've not heard but they sound good. I look forward to listening to them all shortly. I'll be quicker ranking than I was last round.

[Livia]

Agree with Kate! Some really good choices there.
