How do you feel about leaving Ammi?

…I feel sad and forlorn …I have a Eurovision song but it’s homeless with nowhere to go…I do know though that I just didn’t choose well for the duet theme so I can only self flog for the rest of my days…

What was the highlight for you in the short time you took part?

….I kind of didn’t know whether I’d be out in the first round, I fully expected to because I’d gone purely for a ‘heart choice’ song…but then seeing it score quite highly and realising others had liked it too…?…that was everything….

Would you ever do something like this again in the future?

…absolutely, yes…tie me down and hold me back because I’ll be there…any opportunity to ever compete with Ben and I’m there…

What do you feel went wrong with your performance?

…the choice just wasn’t right for the American Smooth, I don’t want to make any excuses but it never felt right to me either for that dance…(..I love the song, though…)…

If you did get through were you looking forward to your dance for eurovision?

…it’s strange because Eurovision was beginning to be for me, the most exciting theme so far and I loved, loved, loved my dance…I’m going to start Samba lessons right now……

At this stage who do you see as a potential winner?

…they’re all potential winners and they’re all potential losers but I know that Mystic Mock will pull something weirdly extraordinary out of his music bag and blow everyone away…

And finally who do you think will be leaving next?
…I honestly don’t know because Eurovision gives such a scope for great entries…I think this next show is going to be the biggest extravaganza that TiBB has ever seen …

[Ammi]

…just looking through the door into Ben’s dressing room…he seems to have all of the celebrity costumes for the next Eurovision theme and is tearing off sequins and bows and sabotaging them…and then sewing extra bits onto his own…this is like Diane/Baked Alaska and Bake-Off scandal all over again…

[Ammi]

…*waits to see who is going to be joining us in hanging around outside the ballroom back door eating fish and chips…*…

[Ammi]

…good luck celebrities……you’re only ever as good or as famous or as special etc as your last dance…

[Strictly Jake]

Ammi can you give us your summary of those performances, how good was that show?! Are there any stand out favourites for you?

[Nicky91]

Jack Black & Lauren Oakley's Jive:

a very back to basics jive, has been used before on strictly, by the lovely deborah meaden and Robin Windsor (RIP Robin)

having said that, it is a fun song and a classic 8


Rihanna & Carlos Gu's Charleston:

perfect charleston choice! one of my personal favourite moldovan entries, actually moldova is one of my fave countries overall

fun, fun, fun 9



Shania Twain & Johannes Radebe's Argentine Tango:

it is a decent tango track, however more suited to ballroom tango, not argentine tango, just my personal opinion, but it is a very authentic choice

8


Danny Dyer & Nancy Xu's Viennese Waltz:

a greek song with a dance originated from austria, can only happen on strictly tibb dancing tbh

the flow of this song matches the flow required for this specific dance quite well

and it is a original choice

9

Britney Spears & Nikita Kuzmin's Paso Doble:

not a huge fan of rock paso's i have to admit, this wouldn't even be out of place on halloween week theme, this is not just a rock paso but a monstrous rock paso, and combined with britney's popstar queen qualities, this is divine 10

Keira Knightley & Gorka Marquez's Theatre Jazz:

i always combined this song with a charleston myself, but the combination with theatre jazz and this song works much better i think, also very traditional jazz somehow, LOVE IT 9

Tom Holland & Michelle Tsiakkas's American Smooth:

not sure about this with a american smooth, it's too foxtrotty and less american smooth for my liking, having said that, a wonderful tune and a wonderful ballroom number 8

Anna Hathaway & Kai Widdrington's Foxtrot

the opposite as the previous performance, this to me fits an american smooth better than a foxtrot i think, but then again, also a lovely ballroom routine 8

Eva Longoria & Neil Jones's Salsa

Eva Esa Diva, we already knew honestly, HOT HOT HOT 10


Chris Pratt & Karen Hauer's Rumba

is more a song for a contemporary, but it works decently for a rumba i think

8


Cheryl Cole & Giovanni Pernice's Contemporary

is too upbeat for a contemporary, would be better matched to a quickstep or tango maybe idk

lovely routine though 7


Catherine Zeta Jones & Aljaz Skorjanec's Waltz

Majestic, Old Hollywood Glamour from the Queen of Hollywood Miss Catherine, however it is a bit too outdated for my liking, but that's my personal taste 7

Pedro Pascal & Nadiya Bychkova's Quickstep

bags of personality, fun quickstep routine, and this song fits Pedro so well, WOW perfection 10

[Nicky91]

for the fun purpose more

Jeff Goldblum & Amy Dowden's Samba to SloMo


that was a brilliant choice by our Ammi, would've been a contender for the top spots this week i think (but this is mere speculation of course)

…let me listen to all of the songs in full as I’ve only played small snippets to get the feel and vibe …and I’ll post later on in the day…?…

……I did note in the first theme that you scored Jeff the top points for the Great Gatsby/Together The XX entry and thank you for that……I know that you’ll be a huge Jeff Goldblum fan as well as Jurassic doesn’t just reflect his age……but one of your favourite movie franchise…

[Strictly Jake]

We were joined by past contestant Nicky with his thoughts of this weeks show, many thanks to you as we all know how much of a fan you are of eurovision! Thank you. Later we will be joined by Ammi

[Ammi]

…I won’t do all of them individually but my favourite entry is Pedro Pascal…(…I mean, Pedro is always my favourite entry obviously…)…but that song choice is just beyond delicious…pure joy on the dance floor……


…Jack Black’s jive choice works excellently but ugggghhh, that song’s in my head and I can’t get it out and that’s not going to be a good day…

...Chris Pratt chose well..

…Cheryl and Catherine Zeta Jones gave the oceans of emotions straight through to our souls…


….Tom Holland, thank you……the American Smooth will live again…


…so yeah but what do I know…?…I’m here on the other side and commenting from outside of the ballroom because…what do I know….?….


…no ABBA…?…
