Strictly Come Dancing 2023 #16

[Fillyjonk]

Of the CCs I liked Charles Venn's and Faye's - fve rest go from much of a muchness to just plain bad.

I do find this thread incredible as we all love and slag off different people and yet there’s rarely arguments. DS is like the battle of the Somme every weekend.

Haven’t looked on ds for absolutely ages,

I go to DS for soap discussion and it’s exhausting. So intense yet no banter.

What was kartem?

kara and artem?

 

[Bol85]

I recon we’ll get a Wednesday dance next week, the Jenna Ortega version.. quite a good little song in the TV series that she dances too!

 

[glasgow27]

Do we think Gio will come back next year after this?

 

[Mrs brighside]

We must have been talking bottles rather than glasses

Possibly

 

[Boring Monday]

James Jordan claims Nigel's dance was a 4 and Layton's dance was a 6. Does he have a bee in his bonnet about ringers or what? Seems really strange to me, those are unusually low scores.

It always used to depend on whether he had a ringer (Cheri Lunghi) who lost out to an old guy mopping up the votes (John Sargent) when he had 2 ITT appearances, one to say people should vote for the best dance and he should pull out and one after he had pulled out to say he should have stayed causing Claudia to splutter in his face … or whether his wife had the plucky trier knocking out the better dancers (Chris Hollins). Just don’t mention sat on a chair Denise.

I got to the end of the dance, thought 'I can't have just seen what I thought I saw, right?' rewound it, and nope. I did just see exactly what I thought I saw.

It’s all 1960s Fosse style, the moves were all his ( and Gwen Verdon) .

 

[WeHadFunRight]

Yet I'm the one being judged for saying Neil is hot.

I’m happy to own my weird. I don’t really get the Nikita and Gorka stuff

edit: although I enjoy everyone who does!

 

[hannah3]

Right now I think the final will be Bobby, Nigel, Ellie and Layton....I hope Amanda comes back and we don't go down to a three person final as I'm almost certain Bobby will be voted through and I don't want any of the other 3 to miss out at this stage. Torn on it being Amanda or Angela who leaves in the SF.

If Amanda doesnt come back then I think the final will be Layton, ELlie and Bobby which would be a shame because I definitely want to see Nigel and Katya in there as I love their partnership.

 

[Hedylamar]

Not awkward at all!A shame that people can't just get on with a job without all the snark and meanie haters acting like bullies.

 

[JCMSadie]

That was beautiful, I have chills.

 

[shoppingaddict123]

Anything on DS about Amanda/Gio?

 

[ChastityDingle]

Yeah, they mentioned on ITT that they were wearing knee pads in training for the sliding.

 

[Spanor511]

Not going to be popular but my favourite dance is Kevin and Susannahs paso. 🫣

 

[WeHadFunRight]

I noticed Anton was looking in good shape during that dance. However, now he's back to burbling nonsense as a judge that has entirely slipped away.

Yes, it’s just Anton’s inner bicep really… nothing to do with the rest of him - that flash was all I need to keep me going for a while.

 

[VeniVidiVicki]

She so needed a Tristan.

I would also suggest back reading the Monkseal blogs.

I miss monkseal so much

 

[Reality_tv_lover]

I definitely think he's hamming it up this year. There's been a couple of occasions we're it's definitely been over-egged.



I think he might be finding it a bit hard to believe at the moment, too

I said this about Nikita

 

[Sogdhitalley]

I keep referring to Ellie as Eddie who was her on screen foster dad in Corrie. They both have the same hair line and tonight just showed it off even more.

 

[SeraSparkle]

Alison's American Smooth is up there as one of the best of all time, unironically for me

God love Dianne's attempt with the Simpsons dance

Edit: no, it was couple's choice, they were both at the mercy of...whatever that was

 

[Renegadedancer]

Yes he does and he’s got such a nice voice to listen to. I’m really enjoying it so far and it’s such an interesting insight into everything that went in to him getting to where he is today.

I’ll def download, thanks for the info.
