Welcome to Strictly Tibb and this time we are putting on a new twist. 16 celebrities have been selected to take part. These celebrities will be revealed once we have our 16 players. The celebrities will be partnered up with 16 strictly professionals, however it will be TIBB members playing as the celebrities doing their best to impress our four judges. This time there can be no accusation of fixing as noone will know which Tibb member was playing as which celebrity until the very end. Think Strictly meets The Circle meets The traitors. Now who would like to take part?

Ooooh. I love the new concept. Put my name down. I'd rather play than be a judge after consideration.

[Vanessa]

Yes I'll play. As a contestant. I have a lot on at the moment and can't judge.

[Strictly Jake]

Time to meet our first celebrity!


I very much look forward to taking on a new challenge with Strictly Tibb Dancing. It won't be the first time I have put on a beautiful dress to do some iconic dancing. Do I have experience in dancing? Hardly, although in the past I did put on some ballet shoes. Will I get a flood of support doing the show, I don't know my outspoken feminist views often rub people up the wrong way but it will never stop me speaking up for what is right. What do I hope for in my couple, well I have in the past learned to calm even the fiercest of men so I'm sure whoever gets partnered with me has their work cut out trying to control me. People may think I'm just some little woman but I aim to be the most powerful woman and I help other women to be the same. I'm so powerful I was once named in the top 100 most influential people in the entire world. And I made the Forbes list when I was very young. But yes strictly may be a challenge but I do so hope it's a magical one! What theme am I most looking forward to taking on. It has to be Halloween, it kind of is a vibe for me for sure!

[Strictly Jake]

Any thoughts on who we think this could be??

[Strictly Jake]

In the meantime let's reveal our second celebrity as I think this one is slightly easier...

[Strictly Jake]

I cannot wait for Strictly Tibb Dancing! What can I bring to the show? Out of this world performances I hope, if I could travel in time and see if I make the final or not I'd be even more excited because I'm in this for the long run. To be educated in the world of dancing, that's another education I will appreciate, and not as rude as the last one I got! I have performed for a new king so I don't feel the pressure to perform to audiences week after week. What do I hope for in a partner? An absolute doll, I'm used to working with dolls! Bring it on!

[Nicky91]

is Celeb2: Michael Ball?

:think:

[Kate!]

Nicole Sherzinger?

[Nicky91]

why i think Michael


''travel in time'' = relating to his entry for eurovision ''one step out of time''

''working with dolls'' = playing the role of Edna Turnblad in the Hairspray musical


but i could be totally wrong though

[Strictly Jake]

Sorry both of you are incorrect!

[Kate!]

Ok. So it's one of the Dr Who actors maybe?

And a connection with a doll? Barbie?

Ncuti Gatwa?

[Strictly Jake]

Ok. So it's one of the Dr Who actors maybe?

And a connection with a doll? Barbie?

Ncuti Gatwa?

Oh my goodness Kate well done you got it right!!!

Ncuti Gatwa is our second celebrity. Nicky do you fancy a crack at our first celebrity reveal? Nicky91

[Strictly Jake]

Let's reveal our third celebrity. Someone needs to try and guess that first reveal though!


Hey babes I just cannot wait to start my training in Strictly Tibb Dancing. I'm sure it's a lot of work, I just hope it doesn't overload me. I'm sure those judges eyes will be upon me but it won't be the first time I've been watched closely, thankfully this time it wont be 24/7. What do I hope for in a partner, someone who is as sweet as sugar and someone that can teach this real girl a thing or two. Bring it on!

[Kate!]

Gemma Collins

[Strictly Jake]

No sorry I see why you would guess that though. But no

[Kate!]

Oh I know I know. Its Mutya Bueno

[Strictly Jake]

Oh I know I know. Its Mutya Bueno

Buena :joker: but yay you got another one :dance:

[Kate!]

Ha.

[Strictly Jake]

Fancy another one. This is the last celebrity reveal for today!

[Strictly Jake]

I'm unsure on how I will get on in Strictly Tibb Dancing. It's not my kind of thing, sure I'm used to people dressing up and putting on heels but I think it's going to be a struggle. How will I get on in rehearsals, I will probably spend far too much time chatting, I mean I've won five baftas for doing that very thing! This is probably one of the strangest things I have done, well apart from playing a vicar. I've done a lot of radio and TV, I guess I have one of the most famous voices in the world, certainly in Europe! But will I end up well known for my dancing, let's see, hope I don't fall off a chair!

[Kate!]

Dawn French?

[Strictly Jake]

Not dawn french, unfortunately as she would have been fabulous

[Kate!]

Craig Revel Horwood?
Piers Morgan?

[Strictly Jake]

Neither of them

[Kate!]

Argh

[Kate!]

Louise Redknapp

[Strictly Jake]

Louise Redknapp

How?

[Kate!]

How?

She covered a Steely Dan song and one of the lyrics is about falling off a chair? :joker:

[Kate!]

I've got it now! I've got it!

Father Ted!!

It's Graham Norton

[Strictly Jake]

I've got it now! I've got it!

Father Ted!!

It's Graham Norton

Your on a roll Kate!!!

[Kate!]

I'm gonna ask Josiah if he'd be a contestant.

So that's me Ness and possibly him so far.

[Nicky91]

my guess for celeb1: Kylie Jenner????

[Strictly Jake]

my guess for celeb1: Kylie Jenner????

Sorry no. But I see the angle you came from. Guess again

[Kate!]

my guess for celeb1: Kylie Jenner????

Nicky? Are you going to be a contestant? Pretty please? You're good at this. X

[Nicky91]

Louise Redknapp already competed on strictly, Kate? :laugh:

with Kevin from Grimsby, one of his many runners up

[Nicky91]

Time to meet our first celebrity!

''not the first time she put on a beautiful dress''

''some ballet experience''

''outspoken feminist views''

''most powerful woman''

''made the forbes list at a young age''

''favourite theme being halloween''


OH MY GOD, i know it now: J.K Rowling

[Nicky91]

and ''magic'' duh ;) lowkey reference to harry potter

[Strictly Jake]

Your so close with that guess Nicky but it's not j.k. Rowling. But so close

[Nicky91]

Emma Watson

[Strictly Jake]

Emma Watson

Yay you got it. Emma Watson was the first celebrity reveal!

[Nicky91]

hopefully more clues today?

[arista]

Graham Norton,
is 61 year old.

I thought he was 10 years older

[arista]

Emma Watson

[Tom and amy fan]

Aw go on then I'll take part

[Ammi]

Aw go on then I'll take part

…hey and welcome to the forum…I'm not sure if it’s a rule that still applies but a minimum post count requirement was always something that was in place to join a forum game…so it might be a thought for you to speak to a moderator to see what the rules is…?…

[Cherie]

Is Tom and Amy fan Lewismacfarlane?

When is this starting Jake?

[Strictly Jake]

Aw go on then I'll take part

Welcome Lewis!!

[Strictly Jake]

Is Tom and Amy fan Lewismacfarlane?

When is this starting Jake?

When I've got enough players. Hope to sign you up Cherie :wavey:

[Strictly Jake]

…hey and welcome to the forum…I'm not sure if it’s a rule that still applies but a minimum post count requirement was always something that was in place to join a forum game…so it might be a thought for you to speak to a moderator to see what the rules is…?…

It's ok Ammi. I know this is Lewis, he had to set up a new account but he's played this before.

Ammi i would love for you to play this

[Cherie]

When I've got enough players. Hope to sign you up Cherie :wavey:

as long as its a week or so away that is fine, need a bit of a breather from games

[Strictly Jake]

as long as its a week or so away that is fine, need a bit of a breather from games

Oh yeah definitely over a week away

[Strictly Jake]

CsFyX7xnqac

Soon will reveal our next four celebrities

[Ammi]

…ahhhhh, I didn’t realise that it was you Lewis, but I should have realised because I know what a big Strictly fan you are …hey and welcome back, it’s great to see you here …:love:…

[Cherie]

Oh yeah definitely over a week away

ok sign me up so please

[Ammi]

It's ok Ammi. I know this is Lewis, he had to set up a new account but he's played this before.

Ammi i would love for you to play this

…yeah my bad Jake…I hadn’t realised…(…but I should have as I know the fan Lewis always was…)…and I hoped that approaching a mod would find reassurance that it was fine to apply and play…

….anyway…. just ignore me, I wasn’t here….

…(…good luck in the game, Lewis…:love:..)…

[Strictly Jake]

I'd say this is an easy reveal. Who will get this one first?

Lights Camera Action, let's go!! I am super excited to be joining Strictly Tibb Dancing. Sure I have some experience in dancing but not ballroom, the Viennese waltz looks a bit sickening, all that spinning around. Will I make that final? I guess you will have to see if that's in your eyes. One thing I do know is you won't be able to get me out of your head. Let's do this!

[Ammi]

…Kylie…?…:laugh:..

[Strictly Jake]

…Kylie…?…:laugh:..

Yes Ammi you got it! :dance:

[Strictly Jake]

Time for the next reveal, again I'd say this is an easy one

People will probably be shocked that I'm doing something like this. However I think it's time to take on something new. Recently people have viewed me as a bit of a troublemaker, but all I have done is for my children and wife and making them have a happy life, I'm not a bad guy, I hope my recent autobiography has shown that, I hope to show my fun side by doing this show. I want to perform a dance fit for royalty, or not I don't care!

[Kate!]

Olly Murs?

[Strictly Jake]

Olly Murs?

That's was the troublemaker clue wasn't it...

You are wrong

[Ammi]

…our Harry…?../…Prince Harry…

[Kate!]

Justin Bieber

[Strictly Jake]

…our Harry…?../…Prince Harry…

Your on a roll Ammi! It's Prince Harry!!

[Strictly Jake]

Time for the next one

Firstly, are you okay? People have been wanting me to do this sort of show for a very long time. But I've never felt confident enough to do it, plus I've not really had the time. Well I guess I have the time now, I'm not exactly the national treasure I was once, it's like the British public just dropped me, all because I was connected to someone who made big mistakes and that's someone I'm not connected to anymore. It's been a dark time, but I'm ready to do something super fun, I woke up This Morning and I thought, yeah I'm ready for this!

[Kate!]

Holly Willoughby

[Strictly Jake]

Holly Willoughby

Yeah you got it Kate!

[Strictly Jake]

Time for the last reveal of the day

What can I say about me being on the show? Your welcome! I hope I get a professional partner who is a rock to me. I like to move fast, I like to move furious. Lets get ready to rumba!

[Kate!]

Dec?

[Strictly Jake]

Dec?

Nope

[Kate!]

Tommy Fury

[Kate!]

Jake??

What's the format? Are there eliminations? Or does everyone play till the end with a scoreboard?

[Strictly Jake]

Tommy Fury

Nope.

[Strictly Jake]

Jake??

What's the format? Are there eliminations? Or does everyone play till the end with a scoreboard?

Well we will see how many people sign up first.

[Kate!]

Well we will see how many people sign up first.

:thumbs:

[Kate!]

[Strictly Jake]

[Nicky91]

Jane McDonald!!!!!

[Strictly Jake]

Jane McDonald!!!!!

Yeah you got it Nicky!!

[Kate!]

:joker: Oh lol. Nicky beat me to posting Jane.

[Strictly Jake]

Alright it's me, looking forward to taking on strictly, guess it was my turn to take on the dancefloor as two of my band mates have all ready done it, this time it's all about me, obviously, bring it on!

[Strictly Jake]

And yeah I'm making the clues a bit easier as everyone struggled with the first reveal, made that one too hard!

[Kate!]

Dougie Poynter

[Kate!]

Or Danny Jones

[Strictly Jake]

Or Danny Jones

:cheer2:

[Nicky91]

a lot of music stars in this line up



but no sports names (yet)

[Strictly Jake]

There's only three musicians so far Nicky

[Nicky91]

There's only three musicians so far Nicky

Danny, Jane, Kylie, Mutya?


4

or do you label Jane as ''tv personality''

[Strictly Jake]

Danny, Jane, Kylie, Mutya?


4

or do you label Jane as ''tv personality''

Yeah I'd say she is more of a TV personality than a music artist. I know she sings but she's probably better known for her TV work

[Strictly Jake]

I'm super excited to compete in strictly tibb Dancing. I want to show some different skills, make new friends. Looking forward to seeing who I'm partnered with, I'm used to being part of an iconic duo, as long as they let me take a break from time to time. Will I make the final? I don't know, lets just go with it!

[Kate!]

Declan

[Strictly Jake]

Dec isn't going to be on this series no matter how much you keep guessing him Kate! Haha!

[Nicky91]

idk if this is a male or female


if a male: then Andrew Ridgeley?

if a female: then Trinny Woodall?

[Kate!]

Dec isn't going to be on this series no matter how much you keep guessing him Kate! Haha!

Lol. Can't think of another iconic duo :joker:

[Strictly Jake]

None of those Nicky

[Strictly Jake]

What if a say a TV sitcom iconic duo

[Nicky91]

Helen Lederer?

[Kate!]

David Schwimmer

[Kate!]

Jennifer Aniston

[Strictly Jake]

Jennifer Aniston

You got it!!!!

[Strictly Jake]

Last reveal of the day coming up!

[Strictly Jake]

I'm very nervous to do something like this. I'm used to many people watching me, and they did for a long time, I hope I don't end up in the rough. I was once loved, but I've been made out to be a bad guy in recent times. I want to get the public on side again. Just dont want a 1 from the judges, otherwise I'll put a hole in that particular paddle, I've done that a few times!

[Nicky91]

Tiger Woods?

[Strictly Jake]

Tiger Woods?

You got it Nicky. See there was a sports star!

[Strictly Jake]

The last four reveals will be tomorrow.

Those wanting to play this please let me know this weekend. Thankyou.

[Nicky91]

well tbh Dwayne is also 1/2 a sports star, with his wrestling career

[Kate!]

Loving this line up so far.

[Strictly Jake]

well tbh Dwayne is also 1/2 a sports star, with his wrestling career

Of course!

[Nicky91]

soooo how does this work exactly?


my theory idk if i am wrong

you play as the allocated celebrity, (with a professional dance partner) and you have to act like that celebrity how they would fare irl strictly :think:

[Kate!]

7 contestants so far.

Come on people, roll up. It's so much fun.

[Kate!]

soooo how does this work exactly?


my theory idk if i am wrong

you play as the allocated celebrity, (with a professional dance partner) and you have to act like that celebrity how they would fare irl strictly :think:

Not quite. It's anonymous so.only you and Jake will know which celeb(s) you are playing as.

[Nicky91]

Not quite. It's anonymous so.only you and Jake will know which celeb(s) you are playing as.

strictly tibb always has been anonymous through PM's with Jake


i feel confident in my chances with this concept, all my years of playing fantasy strictly/dwts's by myself are proper experience to come to use now

depending on which celeb(s) i got of course :laugh:

[Strictly Jake]

Yeah as Kate said Nicky you are assigned a celebrity but noone must know your playing as that celebrity until the very end, it stops favouritism in the eliminations, also depending on who the judges are it stops judges purposely scoring someone low for predicting which player has sent it in

[Livia]

Yeah as Kate said Nicky you are assigned a celebrity but noone must know your playing as that celebrity until the very end, it stops favouritism in the eliminations, also depending on who the judges are it stops judges purposely scoring someone low for predicting which player has sent it in

What a good idea.

[Beso]

I can squeeze this in.

[Strictly Jake]

That's 9 confirmed players now. Please keep them coming.

[Livia]

Am I in that 9, Jake? Count me in, please.

[Strictly Jake]

Am I in that 9, Jake? Count me in, please.

Yeah you are. Thanks Livia

[Vanessa]

I want to play.

[Kate!]

Am I in that 9, Jake? Count me in, please.

:cheer2: :worship:

[Strictly Jake]

I want to play.

Yeah your included Vanessa

[Tom and amy fan]

Am I in this

[Strictly Jake]

Am I in this

Yeah you are

[Beso]

Yeah you are

As a judge.

[Nicky91]

new day, the day of the final 4 reveals :cheer:

[Strictly Jake]

Well you all know I have the X factor, but do I have the strictly factor? I'm hoping my journey on the show will run til the very end. I've waited a lifetime for a moment like this to appear on the show!

[Strictly Jake]

Hiya, it's time for me to do strictly, I'm not sure how this will go, Im a nervous man, I'm a excited man, I'm a chatty man. I'm used to doing stand up performances but as for moving my body on the dancefloor, that's a bit scary! Mamma Mia!

[Nicky91]

Well you all know I have the X factor, but do I have the strictly factor? I'm hoping my journey on the show will run til the very end. I've waited a lifetime for a moment like this to appear on the show!

Leona Lewis?

Hiya, it's time for me to do strictly, I'm not sure how this will go, Im a nervous man, I'm a excited man, I'm a chatty man. I'm used to doing stand up performances but as for moving my body on the dancefloor, that's a bit scary! Mamma Mia!

Alan Carr?

[Strictly Jake]

You got them right Nicky

[Strictly Jake]

Bit chilly in ere innit, some would say it's brassic. Will I be good in the show, well hopefully I can fool you once to make you think so. My hubby has done this in the past guess it's my turn now. For a long time I lived on a very famous street and I'm looking forward to becoming part of the strictly village!

[Strictly Jake]

Good day, yes it's me, I have finally managed to fit this show in the diary. I will very much look forward to movie week, maybe putting on a rom com performance I've been in enough of them, or I don't know maybe like a willy wonka routine. I once did quite a fun dance routine in a movie I was in, but to dance week after week well that is actually quite a big jump!

[Kate!]

Musicals week!

[Kate!]

I'm here!! Oooh la la. Musicals week. Fantastic start.

[Vanessa]

Just got home from work.

[Maru]

So the song must be from a musical? Or work for a musical?

(Sorry, I'm very news..)

[Kate!]

So the song must be from a musical? Or work for a musical?

(Sorry, I'm very news..)

Yes it must be from a musical.

[Maru]

Yes it must be from a musical.

Thank you Kate! :love:

[Vanessa]

Ok I'll have my dinner then look for a song.

[Benjamin]

Yes it must be from a musical.

As in a stage musical? Or a musical film count too?

I don’t watch strictly :laugh:

[Strictly Jake]

There will be players who won't have got dances yet simply because I went to eat a roast dinner haha. So the rest of you will get your dances in the next half an hour

Yes musical numbers from films count too

[Benjamin]

:clap1:

[Vanessa]

No problem Jake. No rush.

[Benjamin]

Ok I’ve picked and sent my song :worry:

[Kate!]

Ok I’ve picked and sent my song :worry:

Me too. :cheer:

[Strictly Jake]

[Livia]

I’m here

https://media.tenor.com/aec7v6FyY94AAAAM/muletas.gif

What a mover you are, Ben.

[Benjamin]

What a mover you are, Ben.

Exerted myself too much. Need a 6 day nap now.

[Strictly Jake]

By the way I know quite a lot of these celebrities have starred in musical movies so if you wish to use a song from something they starred in it's absolutely allowed!!

[Benjamin]

**BREAKING NEWS**

Kate overdid it and broke her leg so has had to leave the competition!

https://c8.alamy.com/comp/EWD65H/eighty-two-year-old-woman-in-hospital-with-broken-ankle-set-in-plaster-EWD65H.jpg


And poor Livia had an accident at work that wasn’t her fault and broke her fringe, therefore she’s had to leave too!

https://i.ibb.co/DtChfVP/IMG-5398.jpg

[Maru]

I submitted mine :love:

[Vanessa]

As in a stage musical? Or a musical film count too?

I don’t watch strictly :laugh:

You're missing out!
Im a strictly fanatic and i love it

[Vanessa]

I picked my song.

[Benjamin]

You're missing out!
Im a strictly fanatic and i love it

It’s not I hate dancing. I can rarely get into reality tv competitions like that. I think the exception was X factor and I’m a Celeb for a few seasons before I got bored of them too. :laugh:

[Strictly Jake]

So here is how the scoring will be scored

12 points to your favourite performance all the way to 1 for your favourite performance.

Also everyone will get three killer votes each to use throughout the series. If you use this on someone's performance they will lose 2 points! Could be crucial. But you only get to do this three times through the series

[Benjamin]

Jake, I guess we don’t rate ourselves.

Also, there’s 14 of us? Do you mean we score from 13 (for our fave) to 1 (for our least fave). Or are we only scoring 12 of the 13 other competitors?

When do we use these? While scoring or after?

Yes sorry 13 to 1 :joker: and no you don't score yourselves and obviously this will be sent to me via pm so that it all stays anonymous

[Strictly Jake]

When do we use these? While scoring or after?

Same time as you send the scores via pm to me. Use them wisely however...

[Alf]

I'll be scoring on how your song choice fits the dance you have, And how much effort I think you've put in in coming up with that song. And does it entertain me.

[Vanessa]

Who is scoring the songs?

[Alf]

Who is scoring the songs?We the contestants are. I think.

That's correct isn't it Jake?

i ain't scoring anyone

[Nicky91]

Announcement: I Quit

[Benjamin]

Announcement: I Quit

Why?

[Nicky91]

Why?

ranking the entries week by week ourselves


no, not keen on that concept



i already smell corruption, rigging incoming, so no thank you

[Benjamin]

ranking the entries week by week ourselves


no, not keen on that concept



i already smell corruption, rigging incoming, so no thank you

But none of us know who each others celebs are. So we won’t know who we’re giving the points to.

[Kate!]

Announcement: I Quit

Oh ffs Nicky put your toys back in the pram. What a massive and ungrateful slap in the face for Jake just because you have a bee in your bonnet about scoring. It's a lot fairer and efficient than forum polls which don't receive much response let's be honest. Well done on the game sabotage before it's even started. Very sad!

Jake has invested time and hard work creating this for us all and you repay him by walking. You need to reconsider pretty damn sharpish.

I despair of you. Plus it's the absolute opposite of any possible rigging as Ben said we won't know who we are giving our points allocations to.

no?

could've also used the old judges system for the shows


and then, with the bottom two results, having the judges vote through pm who they want to save and why? with honest and fair reasons


i'd reconsider if Jake would consider my idea, and i can wait for a while longer you know, i can be a patient person

To be fair I understand his concerns, but I think not knowing each others celebs will bypass the rigging.

[Nicky91]

so yes Kate, no more polls

those tend to go not very well



i have submitted something anyway




Benjamin

you'd know whose is which, based on song tastes though? i'd rather have us just as contestants, and then judges outsiders, who are unaware who plays as who for more neutrality in scoring, critiques

[Kate!]

no?

No Nicky. That's outright blackmail and you know it. You're saying do it my way or I walk. Plus with 14 contestants it'd be very difficult to.find a panel of judges as well now, wouldn't it? Think about what I'm saying. You're being terribly unfair. If you don't back down I personally would ban you from raking part in any future forum games. It's totally unnecessary.

Well I’ll be impressed if any of you work out who I am based on song choice this week. :laugh:

But when I come to vote I may not know all the songs but I’m going to listen to them fully and judge how well they suit the style of dance.

And also no you wouldn't necessarily know whose song was whose because we have to pick something suitable for our given dance.

[Benjamin]

A way to potentially combat any rigging (not sure how the vote out works) but out of the bottom 2 Jake chooses who to send out (since it’s his game and he’s the overall judge)

[Kate!]

There can't possibly be any rigging though? I'll have no idea who submitted what, none of us will. It's virtually foolproof. And it wouldn't work as well for Jake to send one home of his choice given that he knows who is who? And could cause arguments if the person eliminated feels hard done by?

It was just a suggestion. :tongue:

[Kate!]

I know, you silly sausage. I just don't think Jake choosing from the bottom 2 is right. It should be the one with least votes.

[Strictly Jake]

Suit yourself Nicky but I'm keeping it as it is.

[Cherie]

Nicky dont send songs that are too obvious....like dutch songs ....be a bit more general

[Benjamin]

I’d like to think all of us playing would be fair in our judging.

-gives Cherie 0 points- :idc:

[Kate!]

I’d like to think all of us playing would be fair in our judging.

-gives Cherie 0 points- :idc:

I agree completely. I'll be judging on the suitability of the song for the dance. If I go home I'll consider it a fair way of me doing so.

you will never guess its me :dance: I am going full rogue

[Vanessa]

Jokes aside, I'll be objective. I'll score on how well the song fits with the dance.

[Benjamin]

:laugh:

[jones89]

Suit yourself Nicky but I'm keeping it as it is.

Exactly yh, don’t change it for one person when everyone else is happy with it.. and 13 is a good number anyway ;)

[Beso]

How were we picked, was it random?

And when do you want the songs in for?

[Cherie]

How were we picked, was it random?

Just get your song in asap, no need to mull over it for days :hehe:

[Strictly Jake]

Yes. Wednesday.

[Nicky91]

good then, i'm still playing


but do keep in mind i've given my feedback on other scoring concepts

[Nicky91]

but i'll give yours a try at least once, if i like it, i'll keep playing (that is if i am safe for another week)

but if i dislike it, then yes i can silently move myself out without causing too much drama for the rest of you

[Kate!]

good then, i'm still playing


but do keep in mind i've given my feedback on other scoring concepts

Yes and you've been told very clearly that you either do the game as Jake the host has planned it or you can go. Stop trying to get your own way.

[Nicky91]

in that case

https://media2.giphy.com/media/3HGduJluBz5gCPNy2I/200w.gif

good on Jake for trying a new concept to this game


i will no longer complain now

[Strictly Jake]

Just a reminder you have around 24 hours to send in your song choices if you haven't already done so.

[Kate!]

How many haven't submitted? Is it just a couple?

[Cherie]

Two questions, does someone leave every week? and is the judging secret..or will you reveal contestants 13 to 1 scores

[jones89]

Do you mean if they’ll reveal what we scored the dances or reveal the scores that each dance got? (like a leaderboard) Cause i was wondering that too

[Cherie]

Yes exactly,

[Nicky91]

uh Cherie


i think it'll likely be


*insert celebrity name* & *insert professional dance partner name* with the *insert dance* to *insert song*



this is easier to manage than regular strictly tibb i think

[Nicky91]

rather than in regular strictly tibb where Jake to keep whoever submitted what a secret from the judges and only send out the list of songs/dances each round




---
here no one except Jake the host knows who plays as who

[Strictly Jake]

How many haven't submitted? Is it just a couple?

Still 5 to submit

[Strictly Jake]

Scores will be sent to me via pm, the ranking, of 13 to 1 plus killer votes should any of you wish to use yours. Obviously I can't put on here who sent what ranking as you all won't have included yourselves and then it's obvious which celebrity your playing as. However I will keep all these rankings handy and reveal all when the series is over.

Sounds fair.

Will you reveal the total scores for each couple each week?
