Have a drink or score a point, every time


Craig:

mentions hands

mentions shaping

reels off a list of criticisms only to end with how he loved it or the contestant is improving


Darcy:

says 'I would only say'

mentions the 'top line'

looks at Craig in disapproval when he gives a low score


Len:

says 'Ya came aaaht / gave it some whellie'

mentions an obscure step that you've never heard of

ducks to avoid Bruno's flailing arms


Bruno:

flails arms

says the contestant's name salaciously (bonus if he says it three times)

uses an extravagant simile (bonus if this is tangentially connected to the dance type or time of year (strutting gauchos, spinning Catherine wheels)


Tess says:

'The audience loved it'

'They're on their feet'

'Come here my darlings' (tentacling contestant awkwardly into her embrace)


Claudia:

says 'No, no, no, it was perfect / nobody noticed' when a contestant points out a mistake they made

paws reassuringly at an upset or anxious contestant


Any contestant:

remarks how hard the costume designers, makeup artists, set designers, producers, sound guys, lighting people, security guards, cleaners, the person who switches Tess on and off, etc, work 'behind the scenes'.


Suggestions for more please!

Darcy "The boys are right"
Len "Pickuw me wawnuts"

It needs to be "thumbs" for Craig.

Also there should be points for the number of times he calls a contestant "darling."

Any inference to "her personal sexual arousement" after watching and critiquing a male dancer by Darcy.

Blackpool related jokes:
"Stiff as a stick of rock"
"Donkeys"
"kiss me quick"

Craig - "Dis-as-ter" or "fab-u-lous".

gawd I'm gonna be drunk in the first 20 mins

As is requisite on Blackpool *drink* week, just the mentions of Blackpool *drink* will get you sloshed.

"If you were a stick of rock, you'd have sh*t written right through you"

'you were so good that i couldn't pick you out as the amateur among all the pros on the floor tonight'! -

Darcy about AJ and Claudia - ' that Jive was very fast, you really gave her a lot to do AJ'

'Blackpool Donkey' mentioned by someone - I'm guessing at a push to Ed!

Must. Block. Out. Clancy. Flashbacks.

Len or Bruno

What I love about you is...

Darcey describes her mark with an adjective.

Thanks for the good suggestions - fairly drunk already

Darcey also likes to 'travel' and Claudia is fond of fond of pointing and saying, 'Your face!'

Darcy says 'ignore him' about whatever Craig has just said.

There wasn't enough alcohol in the house to play this game tonight 😂

Fixed that for you.

Len: From Len The Ten.

Bruno makes suggestive look to camera before giving a mark higher than Len.

Judges make their entrance dancing like they've had a few too many.

Usually we'd have had a Gaucho/Lady of the Night reference or two at this point from Len but he's held back so far this year.

They've swapped this series. Len keeps saying "Darcy's right" now.
