My dad wandered in halfway through me rewatching last week's show. His observations
- said Beauty and the Beast, Mary Poppins and Dirty Dancing were movies, not musicals
- "how could he have been one of the good ones if he was so clumsy he broke his rib?" Said all the backing dancers should be fired when I explained
- thought Dianne was the celeb at first, in the VT
- started laughing when Bobby started wriggling his hips around and asked how he was still in
- "surely they're not going to try to do that lift with his spaghetti arms?"
- initially thought Layton was overscored, would've given him a 9, but after seeing Bobby said "if spaghetti boy could get 8s and 9s for nearly breaking his pro's neck, the last pair should've had 11s"
- would not believe me that Nikita isn't gay, just European - "if he's not gay, what's he looking at him like that for then?" seemed entirely unconvinced by my explanation that they all exaggerate being cutesy and touchy-feely as a vote-winning tactic
- couldn't believe that Bobby was supposed to be an actor, even on a soap
- at Dianne's claim of trusting Bobby more than the other pros "serve her right if they drop her next time."
- "does the one on the end ever actually say anything about the dance, or just shout a lot?"
- "the green one looks like she's clutching at his arm for dear life, how did she get a 9?"
- "why's his hat pink? I don't remember any pink hats in My Fair Lady."
- thought the singer should be shot for what she did to I Could've Danced All Night, "to put her out of her misery as she was clearly already dying."
- didn't know what her dance was supposed to be, but predicted that Ellie will win just from the recap bit at the start of the results show
- as always, cannot wrap his head around why the audience votes for
tit dancers, and won't vote for good ones
sadly he wandered back out again before I could get his reaction to Vito's worm to a butterfly speech
oh, and my mother wandered in as Nikita was doing his adorable little excited squeal over next week's dances. She started shaking her head and muttering about what a waste it was for such a gorgeous bloke to be gay. Did not understand why I was laughing too hard to respond.
