On the" reality" phenomenon:
I saw a play with Susannah York many years ago about a man who only existed when he was the object of his wife's attention. Mark only exists when there's a camera pointed at him. There's nothing else of him.

from the Purity of Dahnce thread
They managed to produce identifiable dances in the past in Strictly. Some of them were spectacularly awful, but they were still identifiable.

And as Espion says, there is no clarity about the rules anymore, so the show is in a rather strange place -

If they want to do a dance show that isn't really about L and B, go ahead, and tell us, and tell the pros, then we can have 'evolving' to the extent that it's just fart about a bit in a long dress, and shake yer arse in a fast one. And for the Rumba, do any old bloody thing as long as it's slow.

But tell us.

From the SCD Week 12 (Semi-Finals) discussion thread

You could make a Strictly Paso out of it, I think. Although to be fair, the producers would probably make a Paso out of Remember You're A Womble, so that isn't saying much.

Mmmmm, Aljaz
The reference to the Paso is about what dance you could do to Paloma Faith's song in the results show.

Loved this:

I am now singing "Little Drummer Boy" in my head. I suppose it's seasonal.

Karen's feet are bare contemporum pum
Mark is barely there contemporum pum
What is this dance I see? contemporum pum
It makes not sense to me contemporum pum temporum pum temporum pum

I won't vote for this contemporum pum
I am not dumb

Please feel free to continue. Or not.

From the 'I really don't like the fact that Len gets the deciding vote' thread
Just when I thought It wasn't possible to loathe Len any more, he does it again.
I don't think there's room to stick any more pins in my Len voodoo doll, I'm going to have to make another.

In answer to the question , 'Am I the only one who's pleased Mark is in the final?'

No.
His 3 grans will be happy
His sisters will be happy
Karen is more than pleased
Mark has never been more pleased (being a non-dancer you know)
KFG is so happy he is crying

Am I pleased??
NO

Monkseal's take on Showdances (from the Unappreciation thread):

Natasha - her and Brenda staring into one aother's eyes like a school disco. A nation finds it romantic rather than, say, vomitting themselves inside out.

Julian - An Officer & Gentleman themed rumba with him in full US Navy garb and effing hilarious.

Colin - PUPPETS

Zoe - Ian falls on his bum to America

Everything Else Before Series 5 - LIFTS LIFTS LIFTS LIFTS LIFTS LIFTS LIFTS DISCO LIFTS

Alesha - Hungover 80s grotfest to I NEED A HERO - Matthew almost drops her on her head at the end.

Matt D Brat - He wears Flavia's vagina as a hat for 90 seconds, occasionally twitches his dick in Arlene's direction

Tomzilla - Rampaging Gurnfest of Musical Theatre Stuff that he spent 6 years perfecting for that creepy arse Youtube showreel he filmed in his basement

Rachel - WHAT A FEELING with a bow on her arse, skidded onto her face with her bum in the air at the end, then giggled like a real girl for the first time

Snowdance - the woman, the legend

Chris - MASHED POTATO

Ricky Nipple - Natalie in a skintight cozzie to dispell all the tranny rumours, also LIFTS

Kara - crap Queen Wetherspoons 1am jukebox dance-along with dinky glitter-bucket

Matt Baker - hip hop with hay bales to "I Like The Way You Moo"

Hamela - A complete rip-off of Natasha's from Series 1, but with the sexual tension only running one way

Harry - drumming and showing his arms off and precious little dancing

Chelsee - disco lift botchbortion

Jason - MANIC MANIC MANIC MANIC STRIPPING OFF MANIC COLLAPSE DIES THE END

Louis - Pretentious shirtless crap on a giant beachball with backflips probably

Denise - LIFTS LIFTS LIFTS LIFTS FIREWORKS NO SITTING ON A CHAIR HERE THE END

Kimberley - Flamin' 'oop

Dani - Bohemian Rhapsody complete with lobster arms and crappy lifts

Abbey - Model strut, model strut, pout pout flamethrows

Natalie - Sylvia Young End Of Term Party, felt like it had been choreographed for Bonnie Langford and she'd pulled out last second, certainly not yet touching the divine

Susanna - Mawkish 70s Elton John supernova complete with Susanna swinging around Kevin's like a pair of giant knickers on a rotary washing-line in a gale

Sophie - Disco Latin, because we all remember that being her speciality.

From the missed dances thread
I think in the past the couples did get some choice in what to skip - James was well known as a samba-dodger. Now they aren't allowed to sneeze without the producers saying its ok (and they have to use a giant prop hankie and ensure it's an elaborately themed sneeze, complete with backing sneezers) so I'd assume they get less say these days.

From the Caroline is a Trained Dancer thread ...

Clearly previous sexual experience is now not allowed as well as previous dance experience.
That's going to make recruiting for 2015 pretty difficult- they'll have 14 Anne Widdicomes
Brilliant ....

From the Final show thread

Is it uncool to say I Love Take That?
Well to be fair, we're all sitting in on a Saturday night watching the SCD Final. So I think we all got off the Cool Bus a few stops ago
