its Angela Rippon's birthday today 79 years young



she got a swear jar gift from Janette last night




also nice older photo of her when hosting eurovision song contest back in 1977




think Rise Like a Phoenix could work well for a rumba

[Nicky91]

also nice how she doesn't see strictly as work, but pure joy, getting to learn new dance techniques, going to the training room from mondays to fridays


as of next week she'll also do new season of her morning show Ripoff Britain so if she survives this week, chance of extra promo on that, likely also training backstage at the set there (like what most presenters have done in the past, Kym last year too on the set of Morning Live what i remember quite well)

[Nicky91]

tomorrow not Krishnan but his alter ego Juan the spanish rockstar

[Nicky91]

tonight the friday panel, Nigel & Katya and Adam & Luba are on It Takes Two with Fleur

6:30


Rylan was good, but i must say Fleur isn't too bad either, although i prefer wednesdays and thursdays with Janette (btw next week Neil and Nadiya are in the studio to answer questions from the viewers, as well as an interview with choreographer Jason Gilkison)

[Nicky91]

Looking Forward the most to

Nigel & Katya's traditional salsa YUM YUM, salsa's with traditional music are my cup of tea

Bobby & Dianne's Catwalk Tango

Annabel & Jojo's Jive, hopefully judges will also notice the hard work put into the variety of kicks and flicks, they looked good in training and yeah ''knitting needle'' move is also how i would describe that one kick downwards

The Rippon Rumba to Conchita



and am just curious what swingy version of sex bomb is for Eddie's american smooth

.

I hope everyone just goes for it. We want a great show.

Adam's main challenge of the week is walking


they will give us a very simplistic waltz, brilliant song too, i remember Harry Judd danced to that too



week 4 and we already had 3 slow waltzes then, compared to other recent years now we need Angela Rippon to stay in long enough so she can also do her slow waltz


i think Amanda, Nigel can also do amazingly well with that one

[Nicky91]

hoping for a similar awesome show as last week


and yes we love Shirley, she knows what she is talking about, loads of dance experience herself


and that 10 for Eddie was deserved last week, his streetdance technique was on point all the way through, is a difficult style of dance

6:30PM today BBC1HD

On Now

[Kate!]

Ellie opening the show

[Kate!]

Nitpicking Shirley. Sod off, that was ace.

[joeysteele]

I cannot stand Sambas but to me that was rather good.

[joeysteele]

Shirley says what a way to open the show most weeks.
Then nitpicks as Kate said.

Reasonable votes there though.

[Kate!]

Love this song.

Beautiful

[Kate!]

8s for Adam. Wow!

I liked it, he's improved, but I didn't think he should've outscored Ellie.

[joeysteele]

Adam was good
He's really excitable though isn't he.
Not that it detracts from his dancing to be fair.

Yes he's very exuberant Joey. A big kid at heart I'd say.

[Kate!]

That was better from Jody than last week. Still don't think he should last much longer in the competition though.

[joeysteele]

It was okay.
I don't like the Salsa, never have so me judging one would be pointless

[Adamw92]

That was awful from Jody. He spent 98% of that just posing while Jowita danced around him. No rhythm, no bounce, no effort.

[Kate!]

I know this is negative but think Jody showing his chest was a desperate attempt to be sexy and keep him in. Bit sad really.

[joeysteele]

Love this song so much.
