Is it wrong to hope to see Ore facing Louise in the Dance-Off at some point.....?

Particularly if the judges then put Ore through?

Just wondering?

Nope!!! I hope and pray every week to see Louise in the DO. Just to see the face on that smug shit from Grimsby.

Even better would be Cloudier & AJ taking Twimsy out via a dance off.
I agree. Hoping Cloudier will sneak through for the win, but suspect the judges would favour Twimsy's bland "lyricism" over the pocket rockets. Would love a Jore/ Twimsy face off for the inevitable sibling meltdown. All that would be left: a Disney princess crown and a battered trilby.

For some reason I misread that as Barbara Woodhouse. It's been a long day but still
could work.

I'm offically hanging my hat on Debbie Harry for next year as a TTF partner - with a roomba to 'I want that man'. Any barrier to this will not be tolerated because it is already a thing in my head

Entirely natural and indeed laudable... Can't decide which I would enjoy more: Kevin's or Ore's unfettered blubbering...

Sorry, but more than being impressed by Danny's great dancing, I am seriously irritated by him. He is clearly a trained dancer and if he wasn't a professional actor he would be a professional dancer. He should not have been selected for SCD. I watch him with extreme reluctance.
As with every other year, so what? He's not claiming to have only sat on a chair. His pro has turned out a marvellous run of choreography, which he has mostly carried out with aplomb. He's not a trained dancer who can only do one half of the dances on the curriculum. I'm here for the dancing, not the duffers, so *blows raspberry*

Danny is definitely growing on me. He has a good sense of humour re his role as Oti's triumphant vessel to the Glitter ball, and I like their grown up, respectful professional relationship - a brisk pat on the knee on the ITT sofa, a lot of humour, and very little cloying cuddling or faux "best mates" bolleaux. I didn't expect to like him, as had him down as a dull, pretty boy, and probably wouldn't want to go on the lash wth him (or him with me) but I would prefer him to win over Twimsy or Jore. (Cloudier would be even better).

According to Daisy on Chris Evans' show this morning, Danny is always one of the ones up for a night out after Strictly has finished. Oddly, MimsyLouise wasn't mentioned in this conversation - I guess she has to get home for her cocoa.

I do think we will lose one of them before the final. I wouldn't be surprised if either Cloudier or Greg made it to the final without troubling the bottom 2.
I think a lot hinges on how Laura/Anastacia/Daisy vs Rinder/Greg/Ed goes. The likable but unloveable decent ladies vs the utterly hopeless but endearing underdog men is going to be the elimination story for the next month barring something very odd happening. It depends how much help the show wants to give the former in maybe outlasting some of the latter (like the week last year when popular Jay, Katie and Anita were all suddenly low on the leaderboard at the same time, leading to Jeremy finally getting the elbow), or if they're happy to allow them to get bumped off one by one. If the latter set triumph there might not be enough series left to clear them all out in time to stop one of them or Cloudia squeaking into the very end. (It occurs to me that Danny having a mediocre foxtrot might be a good opportunity to try to elbow out one of the above three guys by lowballing him and setting off a round of panic voting, and I eagerly await the squealing on here if they try it)

I do think the tighter endgame (5 couples in the quarters instead or 6, 4 couples in the semis instead of 5) is going to make it easier for the table-topping ringahs. Less elbowroom always favours those at the top of the table and hurts those at the bottom, especially with the dance-off in play.

Yes, that's true.
I can see a semi-final like the series 5 ... quarter final, was it? ... when Matt went for his nice little sit down and was power voted out the bottom 2.

I don't think they'd be sorry to see Ed leave at Halloween. They're running out of things to do with him - and Rob Rinder as well. Is scary moth one of the most pants Halloween themes ever?

As compared to “disfigured shopkeeper” or Greg and Natalie’s spooky “man and woman” theme?

I think whoever gets the unrecognisable-due-to-makeup routine is one of the hard draws at Hallowe'en. Thingy-danced-with-Ola in the skull makeup, Jay last year. Worked to further the story line about Jay not emoting, and if you're unrecognisable, hard to get votes. But that's slightly aside from odd themes though...

I think it's the other way around - people vote for big costumes and make-up jobs and stunts, and if you're just going out in a "spooky" variation of normal ballroom attire you're in trouble. If you look at the people in the Bottom 2 at Hallowe'en, I'd say only Rachel and Scott had a big make-up & costume job (and Scott looked effing stupid every single week, Hallowe'en or not, and it never hurt him before). Nancy I think was actually wearing less make-up than usual

Low balling Danny this week might be a smart move to flush Ed. From training footage he does not look likely to overcome the cha cha curse, and the last couple of weeks he has been anxiously rather than triumphantly and confidently inept, at which point he loses his comedic status and simply becomes painful to watch....

How to get your husband to take you out for Sunday dinner the day after his birthday, rather than miss Strictly.

Bring home steak and all the trimmings plus a chocolate pud, to prepare & eat at home. 🎃

Heh, shows how much I remember... I would have said big costumes (as long as they don't get in the way), but I specifically remembered those two where the the big makeup job was an impediment. The fact that I couldn't place Rachel probably helps your point of them being memorable though...

Last year I must have been a crazed young boyband fan because I voted Jay.

This year I must be a hormonal over 50 because I gave Ed some votes.

I'm confused about my identity.
You and me both although I should point out, I didn't/don't fancy either Jay or Ed, just enjoy watching them dance for quite radically different reasons but both of them exude emotion.

The fact that BoD lasted to week 10 was a salutary lesson that some people will literally vote for anyone.
The fact Chris Parker got the final in Season One should have been enough of a clue

Danny is definitely growing on me. He has a good sense of humour re his role as Oti's triumphant vessel to the Glitter ball, and I like their grown up, respectful professional relationship - a brisk pat on the knee on the ITT sofa, a lot of humour, and very little cloying cuddling or faux "best mates" bolleaux.

(Cloudier would be even better).
Also this ^^ His off screen persona is starting to liven up a bit, probably as he's got more relaxed and I love how he's always one of the most actively encouraging clebs up in Claud Nine jumping and cheering for the other couples when they finish a routine (and usually with his back to the camera so he doesn't know he's being filmed, just to get that out of the way for the cynics who'll say it's all artfully designed).

I agree and at least he admits to working hard and wanting to be the best he can be. I'm seriously unappreciating so many celebs on ITT going on and on and on about how much fun they're having. From now on the fun word should go into the same bin as the journey one

And seeing as I'm getting things off my chest, I totally unappreciate Louise doing a bingo ad - it's just gambling aimed at women

I too expected not to like Danny.
I expected him to be like Mark Wright.
Faking his ever so 'umbleness etc.

But I haven't found him to be like that at all.
I have enjoyed every dance he's done immensely.



I still unnappreciate the Cliftons being forced down our throats - you WILL like them, you WILL vote for them to win.

Well I DON'T like them and I bloody well SHAN'T vote for them.

How I wish all of that would happen. Longing for a shock boot of epic proportion, to break apart what seems like the inevitable final trio of Danny,Ore and Louise. I fear only they can take each other out at this stage.
So epic that Len completely loses his rag and does his annual toy-chucking-out-of-pram routine.

What do you mean moth is a pants Halloween theme?

Moths scare the crap out of me. A Rinder sized moth with his dancing facial expressions is enough to scare me into not watching!

😬😢👻

I like Judge though and I'm hoping his narrative will go like Kellies last year where at some point he'll just be allowed to do a beautiful Ballroom in tails with appropriate music.

Well I can hope!
