Good morning all
![]() I am starting my shopping today. Going to OS with my friends, will be a nightmare, but we can cover variety of stores. Will miss Strictly and record and watch it, not enjoying it now. I have done a few things online, still much more to get. Thanks for my gifts Ochre. I haven't received your list yet??. I hope the Sheperd and Sheep were the stars of the night and made Ochres really proud. Enjoy Strictly and have a lovely weekend

Good morning all
Thanks, Hugh I managed to get most of the shopping done. A few of us always do this together. Had fun, but it was hard with so many people. I just watched last night's show, less said the better. I just wanted to know, whether Louise did a ' Giovanni Tango special'??. The shoulder thing, I thought Laura's was much better. Sorry Ochre.

Morning
Glad you enjoyed shopping Sarah, I was going to put Strictly DVDs and Annuals on my list to keep me going during the off season which is nearly here I'll have withdrawal symptoms, going to make the most of tonight, the Final and Christmas Special.I loved Louise's Tango, so impressed with the content she danced and her technique. Just wish they'd had more traditional music to create the right atmosphere as they did for their AT. Really enjoyed Louise's Samba too, I don't think she gets enough credit on here for both her technique and performance and the wonderful partnership she has with Kevin. Deserved her marks. Ore and Jo were my absolute favourites of the night. Blown away by both their Quickstep and AT and my woman crush on Jo is even bigger now She's just an incredible dancer, choreographer, teacher and partner to Ore and soooo sexy in that AT.Awesome to see Jill in the audience, had to go back and watch some of her dances. Nearly time to see two more of my favourite Strictly ladies Laura and Daisy again whoooooop

Not even sure if I will watch the final

I loved the detail of Laura's shoulder movement during the Spanish Drag in their Tango too as I posted at the time. It's a common piece of choreo though, Giovanni didn't invent it and Kevin doesn't need to copy his choreo for what was Kevin's fourth Semi Final
Thought Laura and Louise both performed it well, as I say it's a little detail I find effective.

[quote=Sarah777;84862838]A friend of mine who moved to NZ is coming home for X'mas and will stay with me for a week and then go up to Norfolk to her family. She arrives on Saturday, so I am going to record and watch. Don't want to watch and be in a bad mood. I am sure I will know the result, but don't have to watch the dances. I used to love Strictly, sadly not anymore. Lou also has lost interest.
You're the only one from this thread still enjoying Strictly. Thanks for that info about 'Spanish drag'. I have never seen it before and the way Bruno was got excited, I thought it was a new thing,[/QUOTE] I also loved Strictly but just totally fed up with it this year. I wondered where Lou was ![]() I had never seen that move before Laura did it. Not that I am an expert on the Tango

Awww that's a shame if so! I always remain invested, I love the show itself and the dancing so much whoever's left in and I do think both Louise and Ore are incredible dancers and lovely, warm personalities as our lovely Laura is too. I wonder which of her mates she's secretly supporting, she did say Ore if he makes the Final so she can pretend she was second
![]() And I'm Team Clifton tonight, rooting for Kevin and Jo ![]() All four Semi Finalists were amazing and whoever makes it the Final has the potential to be the strongest competition in a few years I think. |

Sorry Ochre I don't think they were all amazing last night. IMO:
Louise's samba was bad Danny's salsa was okay Claudia's rumba meh And I won't go into what I think of Ore. Honestly I thought Louise's Samba, in terms of technique and her performance was the best female Samba this series. I loved the music, the party feel, Kevin's choreo and the way they looked like they were really dancing together and having a great time on the floor.

You know I love you Ochre, but just can't agree on this one.I hope your kids are ok after Claudia's elimination, I am really gutted. I know Lou was supporting Claudia as well. I have become a jinx, time to start supporting Louise. ![]()

Just popping in to share a link. Do you remember Laura's short work trip to New York in the middle of the training before the first live show?
This promo for Avios is, I think, what she was filming. She looks lovely and I recognise some of the locations from her Instagram pictures etc at the time. https://twitter.com/samuelwhiston/st...32312148606978 It feels a long time ago.

Might go to Vancouver instead. |

Evening Sarah
Yes join the Louise fanclub, you never know your luck might change ![]() The Miss Ochres are disappointed Claudia left. We thought she actually won the dance off, fabulous Quickstep. They've joined me in supporting Louise and Ore now . . . 'Ello Mrs Black if you're lurking ![]() I know it's only a TV show etc and we're not talking Watergate here but Ore at the top of the leader board ... really? Anyway, it will be lovely to see all the ex contestants back, especially the lovely Laura and the wonderful Ed. Are all the Ochre clan excited about Christmas? Today is my last day at work until 3 January - big smiley face. |

I'll have withdrawal symptoms, going to make the most of tonight, the Final and Christmas Special.
She's just an incredible dancer, choreographer, teacher and partner to Ore and soooo sexy in that AT.
