Darren G (his full name must not be spoken in this thread.......ssssstttt)
Didn't Monkseal's stats prove that the Dancing Wardrobe (to give him his proper name ) had a journey that was only week 1 to week 2? I never saw any real journey in him though. His ballroom was always not bad & his Latin was always slightly blokey dad dancing

I suppose that I was surprised to see Thom go as he reminded me of Ramps, shy at being on TV but starting to let his personality through.

I was getting Gethin vibes, though see the Ramps comparison too. He wasn't going to be a winner for me, but thought he had the "nice young man" who went on a performance j*****y which should have seen him through to quarter-finals at least.

The whole from Grimsby clan can get lumped in this. So twee and such forgettable choreography.

They are all over dancers, and over grimacy.

What was happening with Karen in that Samba, did that dress keep giving her electric shocks and she lost control of her legs there? .
The clue is in the quasi-homonym. Grimsby-grimacy <- authentic FromGrimsby grim grimace.

Would people call any old crap "AN AMAZING STRICTLY MOMENT" if it was fronted by grievously over-rated pretty boy Tristan? Based on that gosh-awful barn dance I'm going to say yes. They probably should have got *him* to push Frankie into making balloon animals, he would have been called the new Claudia for it.

At last Tristan gets a moment to shine, but has to share the stage with TTF and Karen, who were doing a pretty good impression of a pair of mechanical puppets on overdrive. Watching them dance reminds me of a couple of attention seeking schoolkids shouting out the answer in class.
Brilliant description .........

I am beyond weary with the Grimsby Gang, which for me includes AKFG ( almost Karen from Grimsby ) ........ I find it cringey to watch any of them.

21 parts and you're just learning this now. I have hearty warm memories of the halcyon days when this was the Unapprecation (Except Of Austin Because You Will Get Cut) Thread. Happy days.

Yep, a journey all the way from his week 1 cha cha cha (19) to his week 2 quickstep (30). He scored 33 for his week 3 tango and his second Latin dance (paso) was in week 4 and scored 34. What an amazing effing journey.

I think Monkseal has mentioned this but so have I.

Once...
or twice...
a week...
during every series...
since series 3 week 9...
when Len made his "airy fairy" comment...
for which I have never forgiven him.

Sod off Len.
And the dancing wardrobe.

This week's rant on the subject - tick.

I'm sure I read somewhere that Matt Flint choreographed Barndance?

Much as I'm not Kevin's biggest fan, I don't blame him for making Frankie make balloon animals. Bloody PTB.

This year, so many of the celebs are so bland that the only thing to unappreciate is their blandness. Where are the Blulus and Great Titted Trouts to really get our teeth into?

Hmm, let's have a go...

Scott is edging into Craig Kelly delusion, only instead of Blackpool he wanted to get to Hallowe'en (why?!) That combined with the twee-ness of Frogmella's choreography makes me want to throw things.

Alison - not sure where to start really?!

Judy - can't dance but her ability to take the p*ss out of herself means I (begrudgingly) quite like her.

Simon / Pixie / Frankie - blandness personified

Steve - meh

Caroline - sorry, I like her!

Mark - big wuss

Jake - meh, can't get excited over him.

Can't even remember who else is left, which kind of says something about them.

Even the pros (apart from the Grimsbys) aren't really trying to annoy. Ola hasn't used the starfish yet, Krotchtina hasn't wrapped her crotch round Simon's head yet...

Where are the Dr Hammy prayer hands? The oh-so-sincere thanking of the people at home, the Hypno-boobs....

In week 1 or 2 Sunetra very nearly did them. Then she caught herself and stopped at the last moment.

Let's face it. I can get pretty Craig about the prayer hands.

I have answers to some of your questions.....

The reason the judges gave Mark over high scores was because they were happy to see him wearing trousers that were not so tight they look like they had been sewn onto him.

The reason Mark cried was because he was unhappy to be seen wearing trousers that were too baggy for his liking.

Now, I have questions......

Why do all Sunetra's frocks have a line of sequins down her backside?
How did the Clifton Cringers get the job? They are like children.

WTF happened to Boy George? Did he hide his performance under his hat?
He was holding back so much he was barely audible!!!
Had he got a cold and was worried his voice would go mid song if he belted?
Has his voice gone because of his years of, erm, 'not looking after it?'

If either of these things are the reason, couldn't he have put a bit of effort into it and looked as if he wanted to entertain us?

Talk about standing there like a stuffed shirt.
Pah.
He even got two sparkly covered wedge monitors all to himself!
Honestly, some people are never satisfied.



I was surprised by the dance off people and the result.

I foolishly thought the time had come for the great British voters to see sense and stop voting for the terrible ....
Spoiler
I used spoiler tags in case anyone still hasn't seen the results.
I only caught up today myself.



Oh and I still think Steve looks like Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden.

I agree. Other than TTF who annoys (FFG is just crap), the cast are perfectly pleasant. My major quibbles with the show are things like the over-marking of Mark, the crap costumes and music choices etc. It's much easier to get your unappreciation on with Widdecombes, Lisa Riley etc.

It's enough to make me wish that Gregggggg had turned out to be a great dancer.

A good designer will produce a dress that enhances a woman's best features, be it her small waist, lovely shoulders, long legs etc.

I can only assume that Vicky Gill has decided Sunetra's best feature is her bum crack.

Oh I forgot...

I really unappreciated Lisa Riley and Alison taking up all the air and hogging the screen in that VT.




And how long will it be before we get to see JoanneFromGrimsby playing with her teaset in the middle of a dance?

exactly!!!

It will fit right in with her choreography.
Her routines are only fit for kids doing 'baby ballet' and 'baby ballroom.'
Twee doesn't BEGIN to cover it.

Exactly.

I find it very strange.
But that's two in a row now that have had that feature.

Oh dear, I think I am sickening for something.....Thom was just on ITT and I found myself liking him and not thinking he is a shop window mannequin at all.

I am sorry but he still needs winding up. He and Iveta are so doing it, or rather Iveta is determined she and Thaam are going to be doing it, he has no choice in the matter,

I saw a picture on Twitter of Thom posing naked with his own brother. It cured me of any residual sympathy I felt for him in an instant.

Do you think she split her dress in practice and they had to glue sequins over the repair?
