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.”

Mmmmm, Aljaz ”

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

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.”

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?'

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):

Originally Posted by Monkseal:

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.”
