Strictly Tibb Dancing: Celebrity Edition(Christmas Special)

[Strictly Jake]

In fourth spot is

Mutya and Johannes with 25 points(Take That could it be magic)

[Benjamin]

Oh wow the top 4 couples are so close in points! Wait 2nd and third all got 33 points?

[Strictly Jake]

That leaves three couples in danger

Holly and Kai
Michelle and Gorka
Leona and Carlos

[Strictly Jake]

The next couple going through to 80s and 90s week are

Leona and Carlos with 24 points(Destiny's Child Bootylicious)

[Strictly Jake]

So either Michelle and Gorka or Holly and Kai will be leaving us

[Strictly Jake]

The next couple making it through are

Michelle and Gorka with 22 points(Bananarama Robert de niros waiting)

[Strictly Jake]

Which means leaving us with just 13 points this week are

Holly and Kai(98⁰ one more night)

Sorry to see you leave

[Cherie]

Which means leaving us with just 13 points this week are

Holly and Kai(98⁰ one more night)

Sorry to see you leave

aw who is it though

[Strictly Jake]

Now I'm quite excited to reveal who played as Holly as this is gonna mess with your minds a bit

The Tibb player playing as Holly Willoughby was

Maru!!!!

[Benjamin]

Wait what :joker:

[Strictly Jake]

I'm sure you all have questions...

[Kate!]

Omg that's unexpected

[Benjamin]

I assume somebody dropped out (that amy fan person)

[Cherie]

lol so Maru was playing as two people? I dont get it :laugh:

[Benjamin]

Sorry to see you go again Maru. Can’t wait for your next secret reveal :laugh:

[Strictly Jake]

I can now reveal Maru has secretly been playing as holly since she was eliminated as Hugh Grant in week 1. Lewis was initially chosen to play as Holly but didn't send in a song so I played as Holly for week 1 Musicals week sending in Waterloo for a charleston from Mamma Mia. Once Maru was no longer Hugh I let Maru back into the game as Holly and what a fantastic job she did

[Benjamin]

Fair :clap1:

[Benjamin]

Sneaky Maru :laugh:

[Kate!]

Oooh Maru.

[Strictly Jake]

Out of those three twists I stated none of them would have changed the outcome of who left

[Benjamin]

Congrats to all of us that made final 7. :clap1:

[Cherie]

Well done Maru.... super under cover job

[Benjamin]

If I ever run the Mole/Traitors I’ll be expecting your application Maru. :laugh:

[Kate!]

Congrats to all of us that made final 7. :clap1:

Yes, I'm truly delighted, I really wanted to do the next round. 80s and 90s.

[Benjamin]

Yes, I'm truly delighted, I really wanted to do the next round. 80s and 90s.

Same.

I really thought I’d go this round. I can’t explain why until I’m out/the end though.

[Benjamin]

Oh this is the last round to use a killer vote too (80’s/90’s week)?

[Cherie]

any more surprises Jake?

[Benjamin]

any more surprises Jake?

You were actually eliminated in week 1.

[Kate!]

So I take it we will get two dances, one for 80s and one for 90s?

[Cherie]

so 7 remain :worry:

[Cherie]

You were actually eliminated in week 1.

how did you guess :shocked:

[Benjamin]

how did you guess :shocked:

I’m actually Jake

[Kate!]

so 7 remain :worry:

How many in the final?

[Cherie]

I’m actually Jake

:laugh: and Jake is really Vanessa

[Benjamin]

:laugh: and Jake is really Vanessa

And we’re actually playing Traitors.

[Cherie]

is that the end of the killer votes Jake

[Kate!]

so 7 remain :worry:

And we’re actually playing Traitors.

And Ben is really Benita

[jones89]

And we’re actually playing Traitors.

:joker::joker::joker:

[Strictly Jake]

Oh this is the last round to use a killer vote too (80’s/90’s week)?

Yeah but I need to check who's still got them left to use

[Strictly Jake]

So I take it we will get two dances, one for 80s and one for 90s?

That's right

[Strictly Jake]

any more surprises Jake?

Non planned. But I make things up as I go along so :joker:

[Strictly Jake]

If you all make it past 80s and 90s week and make it into the top 6 quarter final...it will be Xmas and Guilty Pleasures week!

[Benjamin]

If you all make it past 80s and 90s week and make it into the top 6 quarter final...it will be Xmas and Guilty Pleasures week!

:amazed:

[Benjamin]

Are you giving us our dances today or tomorrow, Jake?

[Strictly Jake]

Are you giving us our dances today or tomorrow, Jake?

You will get them very soon today

[Benjamin]

And we choose which dance goes with which decade?

[Kate!]

If you all make it past 80s and 90s week and make it into the top 6 quarter final...it will be Xmas and Guilty Pleasures week!

Omg! I want to do that as well.

- prays -

I'm not bothered about winning although the competitive streak will kick in at some point I'm sure should I stay....I just want to do all the themes.

[Nicky91]

It would have depended which dance you got though too lol

nope


you can use Backstreet Boys for any latin, but also any ballroom dance


;)

[Kate!]

Soon as I get the dances I'm on a mission

[Vanessa]

Good luck guys. :love:

[Strictly Jake]

Dances have been sent out

[Kate!]

I had fun with this round as listening to 80s and 90s was a delight.

[Maru]

Thank you for letting me come back, Jake :love: It's my first season as a player so I got my feet thoroughly wet for next season :laugh: I'm surprised by how far I made it, but yeah I'm not too bothered to miss 80s-90s week.. I've already submitted some that fit the theme

lol so Maru was playing as two people? I dont get it :laugh:

Sneaky Maru :laugh:

Well done Maru.... super under cover job

If I ever run the Mole/Traitors I’ll be expecting your application Maru. :laugh:

The hint was always there in my 2nd week song... but I didn't realize it until I had submitted the song... :spin:

Next is Holly and Kai with a Paso Doble to Midnight Danger(Psychotic killer vibe)
A8dxiIS1hmU

It was a pleasure playing with all of you :love: I will definitely keep watching the competition and making y'all guess if made some kind of triple return through the back door... I like the format compared to the separate judges because we get to share songs in a weird roundabout way. (And watch it get picked apart, which is funny to me...)

I loved that song for the Paso, pretty sure i ranked that 2nd that week!

[Maru]

I loved that song for the Paso, pretty sure i ranked that 2nd that week!

I'm glad you liked it! I was happy to include that one because it's a fun track and probably not one that has been heard by most of the other contestants.

[Strictly Jake]

Jake what are your rankings for Girl and Boybands?

Not meaning to rush you. :hugesmile:

Rankings for Girlbands VS Boybands week

8 Emma and Nikita- 5ive was a great choice for this week. And this song matched so so good for a Foxtrot. I'm glad this did well on the rankings

7 Dwayne and Nadiya- Yeah I can see why this topped the rankings. Aha was a very out of the box choice. I wouldnt have thought of them for Boybands but they class as it matched the dance

6 Alan and Dianne- Sway cha cha. Yeah I can also see why this scored high. Very fun routine

5 Mutya and Johannes- Well done for using take that probably the best boyband for me. Matched the Quickstep fairly well I thought

4 Kylie and Vito- Quite a brave decision to go for an acapella version, but it was beautiful and Sugababes was an interesting choice seen as though Mutya is a contestant on this LOL

3 Leona and Carlos- Love a bit of destiny's child. So a good choice here!

2 Michelle and Gorka- Yeah I'm not sure it entirely met the tango theme. And just not much of a fan of the song

1 Holly and Kai- I can see why this scored so low in the rankings. It didn't match the slow sensual sound of a Rumba. Bit too quick

[Strictly Jake]

Has everyone sent in Strictly Jake

Yep. I'm going to post the show in the next half an hour

I bumped it for more chat on here, I'm not in a huge rush for rankings...yet haha.

[Alf]

I bumped it for more chat on here, I'm not in a huge rush for rankings...yet haha.I've got so much to say, but it's difficult when you have to be so secretive.

Gonna do my rankings either soon tonight or in the morning.

After a quick glance, I'm not as impressed as others are with some choices for this round. Although there are some that did well. The last round, boybands and Girl groups was the best standard of song choices so far of this whole competition. I think we've had a dip this round.

I think with the range of choices of an entire decade of songs, we could have done better.

[Alf]

I found my songs difficult to fit the dances I had.

On the 90s I got it down to a 50/50 choice of two songs (hope I chose the right one)

The 80s, I had 3 songs. One of them was used so much on Strictly that I discarded it. So again it was a 50/50 choice between 2. I think I chose the one that would do me more favours, hopefully.

I could have done so much better with the luck of having a better dance style. But you have to go with what you're given.

I fancy my chances to get through. That's not being cocky. I'm just a realist. If that statement plays against me, then so be it, but I'm confident that I did OK.

Yeah that’s hard. So many times I find a song which would be perfect for another dance style but not the one I have :laugh:

[Alf]

Yeah that’s hard. So many times I find a song which would be perfect for another dance style but not the one I have :laugh:I find that's always the case. I sometimes feel that Jake punishes me. Although I realise it is random.

[Maru]

Dwayne's 80s video isn't playing for me, even though it's a 6 year old video. Maybe it's a regional restriction even though it doesn't say anything. All the information about the video is showing... it probably doesn't impact anyone else but me... but yeah :laugh:


Alan's and Michelle's 90s picks ... :love::love::love:

Dwayne's 90s quickstep is genius...

[Benjamin]

I find that's always the case. I sometimes feel that Jake punishes me.

I literally said that recently. Was praying I wouldn’t get a particular dance for a round and I got it :joker:

[Maru]

I find that's always the case. I sometimes feel that Jake punishes me. Although I realise it is random.

That happened 80% of the time for me :spin: ... "Oh I have the perfect song... too bad it's a quickstep..."

[Benjamin]

I can’t wait to share my thoughts on some people’s picks, especially some of the 90’s choices :laugh:

[Alf]

I can’t wait to share my thoughts on some people’s picks, especially some of the 90’s choices :laugh:There's gonna be more discussion after the competition is over than there's been during it.

[Benjamin]

There's gonna be more discussion after the competition is over than there's been during it.

It’s honestly so hard not to say too much without giving anything away. It’s tearing me up inside. :laugh:

[Alf]

So am I correct that the players left are...

Myself
Ben
Cherie
Livia
Kate
Jones89
Annie

Is that it?

[Alf]

I still haven't scored this round yet. I've had a few drinks and am gonna wait until I'm sober in the morning.

[Benjamin]

So am I correct that the players left are...

Myself
Ben
Cherie
Livia
Kate
Jones89

Is that it?

Yeah, just the 7 of us.

[Benjamin]

Unless Maru is secretly playing still :laugh:

[Alf]

Dwayne's 80s video isn't playing for me, even though it's a 6 year old video. Maybe it's a regional restriction even though it doesn't say anything. All the information about the video is showing... it probably doesn't impact anyone else but me... but yeah :laugh:


Alan's and Michelle's 90s picks ... :love::love::love:

Dwayne's 90s quickstep is genius...I have no sympathy for you. I get so many YouTube videos from America that I can't play. It's good to know you get a taste of your own medicine.

[Alf]

Yeah, just the 7 of us.Can't believe Niamh didn't take part this time, she's usually always in and a strong contender.

She's missing out, because this one has been the best edition of this we've done. And we've done a few.

[jones89]

Can't believe Niamh didn't take part this time, she's usually always in and a strong contender.

[Alf]

Yeah, my first time playing.. it’s been fun.. 7th place is decent for me tbh :joker:Don't know which celebrity you are (I don't know who anyone is) but you're obviously going well for your debut season.

[jones89]

Don't know which celebrity you are (I don't know who anyone is) but you're obviously going well for your debut season.

Ah thanks!. Yeah i’ve lasted longer than expected, that’s for sure but everyone’s doing great

[Alf]

I thought I knew who Kate was after the last round, but I've changed mind on that after this round, and now I think Kate is someone else.

So confusing.

[Maru]

I aint rushing, we are not getting the next round until Sunday as I understand it :smug:

Just say you're currently preparing for celebrating American Thanksgiving (Thursday) and you'll need some time off afterwards to recover from your food coma. Imagine having to submit your rankings while your stomach is so full of food. Unacceptable.

[Maru]

I have no sympathy for you. I get so many YouTube videos from America that I can't play. It's good to know you get a taste of your own medicine.

You of all people I would expect to have a VPN :laugh: But yeah, I'd have to have logged into mine that I use to watch BB to be able to watch the video ironically enough... just because I'd want to watch the one the person actually shared.

[Alf]

Just say you're currently preparing for celebrating American Thanksgiving (Thursday) and you'll need some time off afterwards to recover from your food coma. Imagine having to submit your rankings while your stomach is so full of food. Unacceptable.Good reminder.

I hope you have a great thanksgiving Maru. We don't have this day. But we do have our equivalence. In February, we have pancake day (true story)

But seriously, enjoy your day. Eat a slice of pumpkin pie for me

Same. A couple of weeks he was top of my scores.

[Livia]

Shocked Alfie's out... Really shocked.

[Vanessa]

What toppings?

I like the meat feast.

[Vanessa]

Shocked Alfie's out... Really shocked.

It just shows how tough is this game.

[Cherie]

Did you win last year Cherie?

[Maru]

Aww Alf is an excellent player. :love: This game is difficult and so hard to predict...!

You keep saying that and you're still here. Bet you'll be fine :laugh:

Benjamin's celebrity alter ego is currently channeling Ali Bromley.

Playing as Dwayne was...Alf!!

My heart breaks that he misses Xmas week

It's OK Alf, we can submit our own entries to the thread together. They just won't be graded :laugh::love:

[Cherie]

My OH and I have decided this year we’re not cooking a full on dinner for Xmas. We’re just going to precook some beef and pork, roast some potatoes and then get loads of cheeses, olives, crackers and port.

I’m so happy with just grazing and drinking port all day :lovedup:

Mr C and I drank port the first Christmas we spent in London together, didn't realise it was so potent and drank the bottle between us :laugh: I remember looking at the the telly and it swimming ...anyhoo that was the end of me and port

[Maru]

:laugh: Happy Thanksgiving Maru :love:

Thank you Cherie :wavey:

[Benjamin]

Hahahaha, yeah it’s a tricksy little bugger for that.

[Cherie]

Did you win last year Cherie?

I have won this a few time, twice maybe Jake will remember, the last one was All Stars ...Alf was very cross, I have a glitter ball in my avi

[Benjamin]

Jake will confirm I have done so many of these I cant remember now if I won the very last one

[Vanessa]

It's really cold tonight

[Benjamin]

Jake will confirm I have done so many of these I cant remember now if I won the very last one

Mr C fits in the cabinet beautifully

[Benjamin]

:laugh:

[Strictly Jake]

You've definitely won at least twice. I'll check if you won last year too

[Strictly Jake]

Yep Cherie you won last time too. I think you have won three times!!

[Cherie]

[Benjamin]

Yep Cherie you won last time too. I think you have won three times!!

The goddess of glitterballs

[AnnieK]

Shocked at a couple of those scores
Sorry to see Alf go.....he was my pick for a winner

[Strictly Jake]

All dances have now been sent

[Kate!]

I think I have my songs! Is this a world record?

[Benjamin]

I’m still toying with mine. :laugh:

[jones89]

I think i have my christmas song.. the guilty pleasure might take a tad longer

[Benjamin]

I think i have my christmas song.. the guilty pleasure might take a tad longer

I think we have a couple of days as I believe Jake was doing the songs on Sunday (1st dec). I could be wrong though.

[jones89]

Yeah i’m sure he said that.. glad of it tbh, probably gonna need 2 days haha

[Maru]

This sucks. The game had become a nice habit :laugh:

[Cherie]

This sucks. The game had become a nice habit :laugh:

aw you could post the songs you would have chosen anyway, it will give us a nice interlude while we are searching

[Strictly Jake]

So I want this show on Sunday. And will be even better if we are given our festive names then too!

[Kate!]

So I want this show on Sunday. And will be even better if we are given our festive names then too!

Have you got many song choices yet?

[Strictly Jake]

Have you got many song choices yet?

I'll probably need them all by tomorrow night. I've had a few so far

[Alf]

Ridiculous that I'm out. Topped the leaderboard 3 times and none of my songs finished bottom of the leaderboard. Knocked out on a combined score.

Tactical voting getting rid of the competition.

Definitely wasn’t tactical voting on my part. You did really well to be top 3 times but it really is a week by week kinda thing.. and this was quite a strong week imo. But you still did great

[Kate!]

It wasn't tactical voting in any way Alf. I've always voted what I thought to be the genuine best right down to the weakest.

[Livia]

I have never voted tactically. Genuinely gutted for Alf, but it could have been any of us.

[Livia]

Sent mine...

[Benjamin]

Sent mine too.

[Cherie]

Definitely wasn’t tactical voting on my part. You did really well to be top 3 times but it really is a week by week kinda thing.. and this was quite a strong week imo. But you still did great

Exactly .... its judged week on week

[Cherie]

I have never voted tactically. Genuinely gutted for Alf, but it could have been any of us.

Not gutted, he is just a sore loser, never a word of congratulations for those still in ...he needs to learn to lose with grace

[Livia]

Not gutted, he is just a sore loser, never a word of congratulations for those still in ...he needs to learn to lose with grace

Yeah, I get that. I try to be fair, it's just a bit of fun.

[Benjamin]

Yeah, not sure how tactical voting would work seeing as every week we bounce around the rankings. I feel like all of us have had strong and weak rounds.

[Alf]

Not gutted, he is just a sore loser, never a word of congratulations for those still in ...he needs to learn to lose with graceYou get no reward for grace.

[Cherie]

You get no reward for grace.

True :laugh:

I had both your songs middle of the pack this time round so no tactical voting from me

[Alf]

True :laugh:

I had both your songs middle of the pack this time round so no tactical voting from meProbably Livia. Who had me bottom on both songs and used her killer vote on me.

I'll remember.

[Livia]

Probably Livia. Who had me bottom on both songs and used her killer vote on me.

I'll remember.

FYI...I had you as third for the eighties and first for the 90s. So there. I look forward to your abject apology. Alternatively you can just send cash.

[Cherie]

and I had him 2nd in the 80s and 3rd in the 90s, casts eyes around :eyes:

who said we couldnt have drama :hehe:

[Benjamin]

Normally Alf ranked high in my I rankings. This time I’m afraid Alf did finish last in both my rankings. Not because the songs were not good but the 80’s song has been used for that same dance in strictly before, and the 90’s song has been used several times for several dances on Strictly. They felt like safe options and didn’t seem very creative compared to some of the other songs chosen by others.

These songs have been used that much because there's basically no other songs to fit the dances I had from those decades.

It was either Mambo no.5 or "I'll be there for you" by the Rembrandts ( The Friends theme tune) 90s Quickstep songs are limited

The only other was "Cotton eye joe" and that's also been done to death. I think I chose the most fun one of the three.

The obvious 80s choice for a Samba is Gloria Estafan song. But I thought I was being more creative going with Lionel Ritchie.

The only other song I could find to fit well for a Samba was "I haven't stopped dancing yet" by Odyssey. And believe me, I searched.

I even commented that I was confident with my choices and that I chose the best options for the dances I had. I thought I was well safe.

Can't believe I got beat, I thought there was a few poor efforts in there, that didn't fit the dances they had.

Not gonna single any out, they speak for themselves.

Well it wouldn’t have just been me, going by the overall scores.

I do get it is hard on some rounds depending on what dance you get given. I think you got unlucky this round. For me there were some suprise placings.

[Alf]

I'm not bothered about it, I never expected to win. I just like to fight my own corner.

[Alf]

It's you that missed out on my Christmas song.

[Benjamin]

I'm not bothered about it, I never expected to win. I just like to fight my own corner.

I was genuinely gutted for you though, as you’d said you’d come runner-up twice I was rooting for you to break that streak and win.

[Alf]

It's you that missed out on my Christmas song.I'll have to put Gary Glitter away for another year.

[Alf]

Sod it. Let's play it anyway. He's served his time now.

One of the classic Christmas songs from my childhood that you never hear anymore or haven't since the mid 1990s.

[Alf]

Obviously I wouldn't have chose that.

I will post the Christmas song I had planned when your songs have been posted. I don't think anyone will choose it.

[Benjamin]

Hopefully nobody was planning on using Gary Glitter as you’ve posted it now (and for other reasons). :laugh:

[Alf]

Hopefully nobody was planning on using Gary Glitter as you’ve posted it now (and for other reasons). :laugh:I think Kate was thinking about choosing it. She's old enough to remember it was one of the Christmas classics back in the day. One of those you'd hear 50 + times every year like, Slade, Wham and Mariah Carey ect..

[Kate!]

Never in a million years.

[Alf]

There wasn't that many complaints when the film "Joker" used a Gary Glitter song in 2019.

I'm a beliver in that you can hate the artist but still like the art.

Glitter was a sick paedo, but he did produce some great music.

We're gonna soon find out that there were lots of great artists that were vile individuals when the Epstein and Diddy names are released.
