Hands down the greatest thing that ever happened on Strictly. Made all the more wonderful by the minge fringe on the leotard. And the fact that they had literally just been booted out of the competition and still had to humiliate themselves thus.
Pure perfection in every possible way.

I often wonder if poor Lisa has full on PTSD Vietnam war flashbacks to this dance when she's putting the Christmas Turkey in the oven and has to cover it with Bacofoil.

I remember watching and gnawing the remote control in sympathetic embarrassment for her over it. Truly awful.

I agree, plus his eyes are really cold. He doesn't look like a very nice person, which unfortunately is becoming more and more apparent.

Vito is a gorgeous, sexy goofball and Giovanni is a darling puppy in human form.

I think the unfortunate combo this year of Gio being a bit of a dick to Richie and seeming not bothered at the same time as Vito arrived and Graz really stepped up and his personality really came out was unfortunate for her!

She always damns both of them with faint praise and would die off if Graz and Kym actually made a serious play for the glitterball... At lteast both of them seem to like and be attentive to their partners!

When she was on the recent series of Masterchef I was desperately hoping we’d get to see her attempting to wrestle a foil-wrapped carcass into the oven, just for the nostalgia 😆

That was Lisa and Brendan. It was series 6 (aka The Series Strictly Died due to John Sargent cutting a swathe through the likes of Gary Rhodes and Andrew Castle). after a particularly angsty elimination when he knocked out James Jordan and Cherie Lunghi, we had to have a Special ITT where James said that John should do the right thing and pull out. The next day, when John pulled out (his wife was getting terrible hassle) at a special press conference, We had to have an hour long ITT where James Jordan said that he shouldn’t have pulled out. it was doubly hilarious for Anton laughing in his face.

Lisa has been hauled to the final by fair means or foul (putting out Austinwozrobbed). In the semifinal the Judges had Lisa and Rachel Stevens tied on points. As it went then, they got 3 points. Peoples favourite Tom languished on one point. as people had been voting all week (children in need got percentage of mone from the votes, so ,Ines were open all week) the fact that Tom couldn’t be ssaved from the dance off sent the Powers that Be into a tail spin. Frantic problem solving resulted in no elimination and all votes carried across to a 3 person final (Which is why the points work the way they do now).

in the semifinal, there was a display freedance by a big strong man and a teeny female gymnastic dancer.

in the week before the final, Brendan and Lisa appeared on ITT saying that their showdance would either be fantastic or a carcrash.

In those days the showdance was done after the first elimination, so there they all stood in their finery only to be told Lisa and Brendan were out. There was some mock geeing up of the crowd by Bruce to persuade them to do the showdance … and then we got that.

we shall never see the like again.

Brendan’s stink face when it was announced that they were all going through was quite a thing.

Why did he have to carry her on stage like an injured gazelle?

One of the best descriptions of this is along the lines of Brendan having hit a deer with his van and it’s injured but not dead, so he has to try and either get it in the van or finish it off, but it’s frightened and keeps struggling.

if you watch it with that storyline in mind it’s a very moving allegory.
