Strictly Come Dancing 2023 #26

[Cupid_Stunt]

I want this to C'est la vie more than you know

Was it Lauren who wore a denim/dungaree dress one of the weeks? They could repurpose that for Angela

 

[Harlot O'Scara]

I think the most popular CCs are the ones which aren't part of the Trauma Olympics - Faye's Fosse skeletons, Charles & Karen's slick street dance, Hamza's afrobeats to name a few. It's just more enjoyable to watch on a Saturday night than some earnest wafting.

Faye's VT was bleeping hilarious, though. Her talking about being in a group or something and then -

*dramatic pause* "....but who is Faye Tozer?"

Thought I'd accidentally turned on Star Stories for a minute
---

I read the original interviews the contestants did for the BBC and Nigel said

Saturday night could be interesting

Bet he regrets saying that about the Quickstep now

 

[coconochanel]

Now if Nigel goes wrong again this week then he deserves to be in the bottom two!

 

[Professor Yaffle]

Dan Snow, well that is one for Nadiya.
---
Sally would like Kai as she knows him.

So let's go Neil or Gio.

 

[RedFlagsAhoy]

I don’t know who either of these two are but I hope they have a lovely time

…make that 3/3

 

[Professor Yaffle]

Anton 'have some of that' Du Beke.

 

[glasgow27]

I don't get the point of new celebs unless they are genuinely impressive signings. Can't see what purpose Sally from BBC Breakfast or Jamie from EastEnders serve - they could easily be in a main series.

 

[Holmessk]

Du Beke, you're on mute.

 

[DoseofReality]

What a boring Christmas line up so far. They'd be boring on regular series.

same. i want a bigger name who can’t possibly sign up to do the full series but wants a try (anne marie as an example). jay from eastenders could literally do it whenever he wanted

 

[DoseofReality]

I'd love that!!! Like these celebrities all have passions and built careers on something so why not have a dance that celebrates their love of acting, sport, theatre, modelling etc.

Because...

 

[Miss Begotten]

Stacey Dooley? Oh piss off mate. Seriously. The only way she moved me was off the sofa and towards the kitchen for more wine.

 

[Professor Yaffle]

The way Anton is talking all the couples should have got a 10 from him.

Am at a loss to know what is the point of all this.

 

[Honeystar]

I say this every year but I feel like they often get a far better line up for the Christmas special than they do the actual series. Obviously it’s a totally different level of commitment but still

 

[Patrick Star]

Sally is with Graziano

 

[kachoochoo]

oh great. double du beke in one show. what a treat

 

[glasgow27]

Pro challenge used to be Craig's thing.

 

[lizzolyn]

What happened to getting past celebs who have done a full series come back for the Christmas special? I wonder if it was harder to get people to return.

 

[Boogs]

What a boring Christmas line up so far. They'd be boring on regular series.

Tomorrow they will announce Keavey Lynch.

 

[glasgow27]

Yeah, no win for Katya on this.
