Alright! Last rehearsal for BIG at Dance attic finished. It has been an amazing few weeks, in the same way learning to box must be amazing... and you can't help but feel like you might have been punched in the face many many times. Anyway, let's take a deep breath, get ready for round two, and smile that you're in the ring. 💪🏼🤘🏻👍🏼 3,049 likes 4h * We had a ringside seat To see this warrior fight And it all came together On the final night. Pound for honest pound He rolled with the punches Took ill words on the chin As we heard confirmed our hunches. He withstood many a body blow But never let down his guard Was never on the ropes And never with others sparred. He danced so sublimely With millions in his corner So many true supporters But the four gave him no quarter. The gloves were never off He never took a dive Or threw in the towel And each week he survived. When boxed into a corner He was never down and out Always an honest contender Going into each bout. Hit by the old one-two Punched below the belt He danced against the odds Playing the hand he was dealt. Just saved by the bell Overcoming doubt This fighter is a winner In fact... knockout! |

Not the best choice of dances to compare if they wanted it to ring true, but then, a lot of people would have to go look at Jay's Jive to see the truth. Great Jive by Ore and Joanne though! I was pleasantly surprised how good it was. |

Len's stuff is mostly scripted beforehand.

Bruno has just tweeted well done to Ore for the jive.
Genuine question- Does anyone remember any of the judges tweeting Jay and Aliona last year? |

Hello my sparkly darlings (shameless borrowing from Guardian blog there) - I have been lured back to the thread by last night's jaw dropping shenanigans. Annoyed by Len's 'move over Jay' comment at first, but on reflection, as Lola and Blondsicle pointed out, never in the history of Strictly as far as I'm aware has a previous contestant been 'carried forward' for purposes of comparison as Jay has. I agree with Isih that is a real tribute to the impact he had. I've watched both jives back and my opinion for what it's worth is that Bruno was spot on in his comments last year - good dancers (Ore) dance on the beat; great dancers (Jay) dance in the beat. Not all dancers are that musical, Darcy saw it too, but Craig sees only technique and performance and as for Len GOK what he sees, but I'm with Dfer on Len, he can bugger off now as far as I'm concerned. Is it true or only a malicious rumour I've picked up from somewhere that Jo Clifton is his god-daughter? And of course he didn't like Aliona one bit as she dared to disagree with him. Not that I'm suggesting either of those things influenced his 10 score............
PS - OTT, I last posted after being hauled out of floodwater by police, followed 2 days later by bathroom flooding. After which I walked out of RL and technology and headed for R & R in beautiful north Norfolk countryside which weather forecast said would be dry and fine........ yeah - rained virtually whole time. Still love Norfolk though - big skies, open spaces, empty beaches. So am back refreshed for the fray and looking forward to keeping up with thread again. |

Hmmm... 🤔 I deduce that Mr. McG. is rather more admired and loved than these also-rans and very soon to be the eponymous hero of Part 7 of an A.T.
![]() Interestingly, at this stage last year, we only had 750 replies ![]() - but we've made up for it since. ![]() ![]()

The Mark of the Man
Last night as he put his smile in a glass
And set it on the night stand I wonder if Len dreamt of dances past In that glittery Strictly land? Where once there was a Perfect Jive That had never been seen before Cool flicks and spins that came alive And thrilled us to the core The judges raved and praised with glee The phenomenon that is Jay But as it was "only in week three" They threw the 'tens' away This year Len's wishing Ore could be The one to claim Jay's Crown How difficult can it really be To knock McGuiness down? They tried so hard for all last year To put him in his place With snide remarks and jibes about His lack of gurning face But it didn't work, the viewers' voice Was loud and clear in the vote Jay was the victor, the outright choice And Len's ambitions smote! So remember this, Len, before you go To claim your pension plan Though Ore may have danced quite well Those 'tens' went to the wrong man…. |
