Strictly Come Dancing 2021 #9

Watching ITT. Not sure about Nadiya's dress for Saturday

And Amy's salsa dress. Borrowing from Shirley's banana angel delight frock.

It feels increasingly like they throw any old tat and market stall remnants at the dresses.
The embellishments clash. Who is coming up with these designs?

Omg just seen Johannes' hat

Katya's double denim dress. I now fear for Adam and what Vicky Gill has come up with for him to complement him.

 

[PontiacBandit]

Conspiracy theory that Judi wants to make it as far as Halloween

(kidding!)

Are they allowed to dance this week's dance next weekend? Presumably yes due to limited training opportunity and costumes/lighting/set design already in place?

Girl I know with Crohns was one of the first to get a letter for her vaccinations cos she takes Immunosuppressants for it

I also have Crohn's and did not get my letter until my husband did and we are the same age. My son probably got a letter but would have ignored it, it is something I don't talk to him about, keeps the peace.

 

[Definitely Maybe]

I haven't watched ITT much this year, but it seems like it's had its budget cut by quite a bit - no regular replacement for Ian, no Gethin on a Friday anymore and I'm guessing Janette's not getting anything near what Zoe got paid. It makes me think they'll be looking to make cuts on the main show's budget over the next few years too - maybe if any judges or presenters leave they will look to start paying them less?

It's crazy how much the judges get paid compared to the pros!

Surely that would be very shortsighted of the beeb given that it's one of their flagship Saturday night shows ? I agree about the budget cuts, I posted my thoughts about production standards dropping in an earlier thread.

They may aswell just cancel this years

I don't think it will be anything major, because like you say it's their biggest show, just perhaps if say Tess decides to leave at some point, they will get someone significantly cheaper

 

[Bobby Chariot]

My goodness Manrara needs to tone things down a bit.
Ridiculously hyper.
Rylan any night of the week on IT2 please.

Claudia was already on a massive salary with BBC because of film programme, ITT and radio 2 so she is good value compared to Bruce who just did Strictly and probably cost a fortune.

 

[Bagpuss20]

She really did. But wardrobe still managed to make her look ‘matronly’ in almost everything.

She had a triangular shape- great legs but broad at top and they didnt know how to show that off without making everything frumpy

 

[sues900]

Amy definitely is, cos of her Crohn's disease

Crohn's and Colitis suffers are not classed as being vulnerable for Covid-19, we don’t get any special treatment

 

[Cariad]

Crohn's and Colitis suffers are not classed as being vulnerable for Covid-19, we don’t get any special treatment

They are if they're on steroids/ immunosuppressant/biological medication

 

[ButtonDownTheHutches]

She had a triangular shape- great legs but broad at top and they didnt know how to show that off without making everything frumpy

Like this shocker from her rhumba: ‘she’s got great legs, so let’s show them off and make the top of her look like “the purple one” from Quality Street’

At one point the dresses were so exquisite they were sold on afterwards for decent money

 

[Fillyjonk]

Re the costumes, I feel like it's quite evident who wardrobe are getting on with and who they don't like. Or when they have an excess of certain fabrics or embellishments!

 

[soccergirl]

They are ithey're on steroids/ immunosuppressant/biological medication

Amy has already been very clear about being fully vaccinated. I wonder if Graziano is - as a close contact he will only have to isolate if he is unvaxxed.
ETA - someone has pointed out Graz is vaxxed.

Apparently Bruno is judging the tour. Doesn't mean anything as it's the DWTS off season and Anton may well do it as well (thinking Motsi is most likely to miss it with the German show usually starting mid-late Feb) but if they were to bring him back instead of Anton on the main show next year, then that would be possibly their worst ever decision. They only need to look at the positive response that Anton has got.

 

[kachoochoo]

the costumes always look pretty decent on Saturday when everything's beautifully lit and we're watching the dances, rather that the fits. but they still look tit in a Thursday with all the raw edges and glued on bits

 

[Welshgal]

Thanks for replying everyone! Can‘t believe I trusted an article in the sun

 

[Shesaidwhat?]

Don't know if this works... I don't even understand it really. But she's not letting this moment go.

That’s just embarrassing

If I remember rightly the tour isn't anything to do with the BBC (other than allowing the licence of the name) its Craig's and some others production company that deals and profits from it. It is Craig who typically has a say in which contestants are offered the tour.
