Strictly Come Dancing 2022 #23

Empathy is something that doesn't necessarily come naturally to a lot of people and is a skill that needs to be worked on (just wrote an essay on this so it is very fresh in my mind ). Like you say, not the same as showing kindness or sympathy - just literally putting yourself in that person's shoes and really making an effort to see things from their point of view.

And I imagine that it might not even feature in a lot of pros' teaching techniques, especially if they are more the stern type of teacher. And that might work for them and some learners. But I like that Nikita highlighted it

Sorry for waffling - it's something I find very interesting

I would actually be interested in hearing more from Nikita and Ellie about the technical challenges involved in designing choreo for their partnership. I know Rylan is unlikely to go there much and it will be more about the emotional experience but I am sure it would be fascinating to hear about

That poor lass. I know she's 21 but she seems quite young for her age still, and to have all this DM nonsense piled on her must be rather awful, especially on top of the danceoffs.

( I felt dreadful for her last night when she was trying to smile and then started crying in front of the judges, I really hope she gets a fun, uptempo, firecracker of a routine this week, that saccharine/childish theme they keep going to for her is doing the poor lass no favours)

Yeah, I think she needs something like the Charleston - I am thinking of something like Georgia and Gio's amazing charleston which I know Molly could really sell

 

[Boring Monday]

Oh, blimey Not the way the Charleston is going this series!

 

[Fillyjonk]

Oh, blimey Not the way the Charleston is going this series!

Not the dance of doom!

I think Molly could really sell a very retro lindy flavoured jive.

 

[soccergirl]

I think either Fleur or Molly will get the dance of death this week - I think Molly could pull it off better than Fleur..

 

[dee_mc]

I agree. In our house we call him Greaseball! Sorry!

He's Greasyano in this house
Love him though, he seems sweet!

 

[DoseofReality]

On the topic of sexy dances it makes me laugh thinking of Len watching this?




And their Samba to Despacito if Gorka and Vicky want some costume inspiration...

 

[Lostcat]

Yeah, not a Charleston, that has gone from guaranteed Safety Dance to:

 

[Scott19]

Is that the same poster who kept claiming Ellie is secretly a massive b*tch?

Nope, that was me. I only posted gossip about her, nothing else.

God help us, but I think they are trying to shoehorn Molly into a *third* showmance! Times are tough, she's the only young single female etc but give it up, DM!

Molly Rainford gushes about 'blossoming' friendship with Carlos Gu

The CBBC star, 21, placed a tender hand on the 28-year-old ballroom pro's chest as she took to Instagram on Sunday to share a heartfelt post.

No offense, is he not gay?

Yes, and no matter what, it has to hit quite hard to be in not one but two dance offs.

I was only catching up on the main programme just before the results, and of course I had looked at the spoiler. I felt bad for both Molly and Ellie as I was watching the main programme because their dances had gone well. Although I read a point somewhere possibly on DS - maybe it's good to go out on a good performance rather than one that they were disappointed in.

I do think Molly will do well longterm from her time on Strictly, she is obviously talented.

I have no idea … but this does not matter to the tabloids.
At one point Denise Lewis was preggers with Ian Waite’s baby.

I think she'll be going on to West End musicals, so I just pray she doesn't befall the same fate as Maisie and end up in a show with Grimsby Kev.

Dame Judi James is back! with the insight that Fleur was more subdued when talking about her dad than when hyping herself up for a Beyoncé salsa...
She's not wrong about Shirley's body language (much commented on on Twitter) but cracking up at her thinking Shirl took her own shoes off to do that weird demo!!

Strictly's Fleur East has 'lost her spark' amid low energy after fix claims

Body language expert, Judi James, has shared some insight into Fleur East's 'low' energy on Saturday night following claims of a 'fix row'

[ChastityDingle]

I'm trying to remember who did Shirley produce the weird little shoes to other than Fleur , I know she did and I can't remember, was it Tyler?

while her body position in rehearsals was a self-protective curl with her knees pulled up to her chest," Judi explained.

Probably explains the dodgy frame.

Yes, the spooky shoes came out for clippy cloppy Will as well

I reckon next week Shirley will have full on posable dancer dummies and they will be TERRIFYING and she will make them talk.

Shirley: And what did you think, Mr Twinkleton?
Shirley as Mr Twinkleton out of side of mouth: You were shite! Close your sodding feet!
Shirley: Now that's not very nice, Mr Twinkleton. Under the desk you go.

I think it’s a given.
The correct hold will be demonstrated by Sooty and Soo, while Sweep bashes Craig with a dog biscuit.

Then making Sooty and Sue kiss to show how Dianne and Tyler should have finished their Argentine Tango

Tyler would be better off ending his dance snogging Shirley if he wants that 10.

Someone said she should have had the spooky shoes for Hallowe'en

Ah yes, Will, I was trying to remember if it was him or Tyler.

 

[Elleyunsun]

I feel so mean laughing but the misspelling on their poster has made me laugh. Anyone wanting to go to the show in Ardiff or Ruro?
Does no one proofread anything
