If SCD is becoming more Americanised, 3 things I WOULD like to see!
[LIST=1][*]The redemption dance in the final. Where the judges pick a dance which they feel the couple in the final underperformed on, one of the judges goes and helps them in training, and then we see if they've improved since earlier in the competition[*]The time period themed Dance. Where couples have to theme their dances to a certain period of time- so 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and futuristic.[*]Instant Choreography. Where the couple know the style of dance, but don't get to hear their music for the dance (Selected by the judges) until 5 minutes before they perfom live![/LIST]
I think these concepts would work much better than props and flying celebs? Any other ideas or opinions? |

Yeah, I've heard about #1 and I think it sounds like a good idea. #2 and #3 also sound good. I bet #3 in particular could have 'hilarious consequences' in the case of certain Strictly pros.

1. The 'bottom 2' that's includes someone that isn't actually in the bottom 2. I think this keeps people guessing.
2. Derek Hough 3. Anna Trebunskia |

![]() I also like the idea of number 1 so that, not only can we see progression, but also it's not just a load of 10s, we may actually see someone's flaws come out a bit if they haven't really improved and just found their niche to get them to the final! |

'
I don't see as Americanised, I see it as 'XFactorised' because of the BBC's obsession with its main Saturday night rival. |

I like the "misleading bottom two" on DWTS
The group dances - when the pros are divided into teams and compete as a team against each other are also really good fun. |

I think we should embrace the idea of improving international relations through the spirit of dance by engaging in a cultural exchange with the US version, DWTS
1) I think the Americans would love Bruce - a real-life Knight of the Realm. Proper Olde England. We'll have Tom Bergeron in return please, who can both read the auto-cue and be spontaneously witty. 2) Ditto Anton - the Americans would be charmed by his very-Englishness, uber-smart appearance and Fred Astaire moves. Oh...but...that would leave us with a pro-space to fill. To quote mindyann "Rubs chin. Lets think about this one. I know, Tristan MacManus" Totally with you mindyann - shall we start a petition?

I must admit Bruce is a bit of an acquired taste, the Americans really wouldn't get his humour! I still think the themes in the OP are better and perhaps more of a test of dancing skill than Halloween and Broadway themes (I quite like movie night, but with the other 2, it just seem a bit pushed to have both of them...)

I think Strictly has been made worse by the various 'improvements' made over the years -
introduction of the Charleston, moving the AT out of semi-final week, the comedy VTs, changing the final format from best ballroom/best latin/showdance, the introduction of the dance-off, props, the change to the judges points system, double eliminations (I agree a contingency plan was needed but this is not a good one) etc. If we could just go back to the series 6 format sans dance-off, that would be grand. |

I agree SCD-O series 6 was the pits and series 7 just as bad....the show most definately needed a boot up the bum.

Series six was quite boring. Series seven was worse, the most boring series (was it the series that Chris Hollins won?) of all...
the original judges scoring system no charleston AT in the semi-final only a three-couple final but no double elimination VTs actually show the couples in training earlier introduction of two dances a week couples in the final do all of the dances rather than skipping one no swingathon no props the best ballroom/best latin/show dance final format These are all changes that a lot of people on here have complained about. The only thing I would get rid of is the dance-off. And Arlene. |
