Welcome to Pride week on Strictly Tibb Dancing. This weeks theme was chosen by last weeks top of the leaderboard, Liam.

Sadly last week we said goodbye to Slim but he will join us as a guest judge tonight.

Who will impress our judges and who will be leaving us this week missing out on xmas week?!


It is time to hit the dancefloor!

[Strictly Jake]

1. First up is Denver and Alison with a Salsa to Lets have a kiki!

Youtube video

Mitchell:
a lively and a fun routine, full of energy and more importantly, camp!


Amy Jade:
I'm sorry I really don't feel this from you at all tonight, I can kind of see where you were coming from but honestly this was a real struggle.



Slim:
Terrible song. It's not even a song as such, it's more like a terrible audio book set to a repetitive drone.



Barry:
You started the party and then some. I wasn’t sure at first with the song but it worked well with your dance



Mitchell:6
Amy Jade:5
Slim:3
Barry:8

[Strictly Jake]

2. Next up is Kate and Louis with a Paso Doble to It's a sin

Youtube video

Mitchell:
a very lively and atmospheric routine, the only thing I will say is, whilst I understand why the song was chosen, can you imagine the uproar if strictly did a pride week and used a song called It’s A Sin, however I’m gonna assume it wasn’t intentional, a very nice routine.



Amy Jade:
I was ready to drag this on paper and I still don't know how I honestly sit on you picking this song for Pride but it actually worked. Well done!



Slim:
Good tune, good choice, good job



Barry:
This is what I was waiting for. The passion, the fire, it had everything a paso should be. You nailed this one.




Mitchell:7
Amy Jade:8
Slim:8
Barry:10!

[Strictly Jake]

3. Next is Annie and Ore with a Theatre Jazz to I am what I am

Youtube video

Mitchell:
this has really got predictable written all over it really, a nice routine, but a bit safe, and I think a bit too slow at points.



Amy Jade:
I love your song choice, not too sure it strikes me as a Jazz performance if I am honest but you show great promise.



Slim:
Bit obvious, bit cliche'd, but still a classic.



Barry:
It’s a classic song yes, I did enjoy it

4. Next up is Parmnion and Kellie with a Cha Cha to Cha Cha Bitch

Youtube video

Mitchell:
taking into account the fact the song is literally called Cha Cha bitch , the song really didn’t work for me for this dance, just expected a lot more really, still nice enough, just missing that pizazz hun


Amy Jade:
I mean you were asked to pick a Cha Cha dance and you gave it to us, I do wonder if your choice just came down to a search of 'cha cha camp' though. It does what it says on the tin though it's a shame the songs too annoying though.



Slim:
pride week doesn't mean terrible week.




Barry:
Cha cha bitch! I thought this was a fun routine and you went all out for it. I loved the song choice it went well with the dance



Mitchell:5
Amy Jade:7
Slim:2
Barry:9

5. Next is Niamh and Joe with a Vienesse Waltz to Somebody to love

Youtube video

Mitchell:
I’m sorry to do classic Mitchell here, but this song has been used on strictly for a VW quite a few times, including last years semi finals, so personally I can’t give this a brilliant mark, please be careful selecting in future, would’ve given this a 10 if it was the Jenny Ryan version x



Amy Jade:
This was nice, I enjoyed it very much but to me it was very obvious and uninspired. I know of at least 3 instances of the song being used with a Vienesse Waltz off the top of my head so I'll be a bit of a cow and knock a few points off for that. Sorry.



Slim:
perfect. Real music trumps drum machines and repetitive beats all day long. Nailed it.



Barry:
You can’t go wrong with a bit of Queen and it went well, to me, with your dance. This is a great round so far



Mitchell:5
Amy Jade:7
Slim:10!
Barry:9

[Strictly Jake]

6. Next up is Liam and Ashley with a Contemporary to People like us

Youtube video

Mitchell:
I’m giving this a 9 as my god that was just beautiful, you probably had one of the easier dances for this theme, yet you didn’t go predictable and pick a song by a LGBTQ+ artist, you went out of the box and it paid off, it was inspirational, it packed a punch and really summed the week up and gave that inspirational message, the best this week for sure!



Amy Jade:
Looooooved this! Absolutely brilliant choice, I really cannot fault you this week. You deserve to top the leader board in my opinion



Slim:
not my favourite, but a decent track.



Barry:
Amazing! I see no wrong in this



Mitchell:9
Amy Jade:10!
Slim:6
Barry:9

[Strictly Jake]

7. Closing the show is Nicky and Frankie with a Foxtrot to Fight for love

Youtube video

Mitchell:
yes, yes, yes! Just yes! Camp, fun, and one of the best foxy foxy trotty trotty’s I’ve seen on TiBB, congratulations!



Amy Jade:
Again as I said before, this was a great pick musically but I do wonder if it fits in with a Foxtrot you were asked for, I like how you thought outside the box though so well done.




Slim:
First time I've ever heard this track and it was half decent



Barry:
Hmm. Ok I get what you were going with this. Courtney Act is a big star but I don’t know, the song wasn’t the best but it was fine?

[Niamh.]

I don't watch Strictly so i don't know what is and isn't predictable

Thanks for my 10 Slim

well i am a Kelly superfan, but i really wanted to surprise now (and i struggled with the theme + my style of dance)

but i could imagine a foxtrot to this so i went for it, its all also about imagination for me

[Denver]

Mine was iconic that is all

It's weird how these things play out. I thought you or Annie was PSB, and I thought Parm was (a) Queen.

I would never pick PSBs, I hate them with a passion. His voice irritates me so much
