Ooh didn't Mark and Karen Samba back in the day to I Go to Rio? I wonder how that is also a very special song to Will? 🤔
 
only girl in the world could honestly just about work for a paso, depending on the arrangement. the stage version of moulin rouge has an incredibly ott version of it which could be okay, we found love is ridiculous though, why does it need to be a fusion?

what is with all the megamixes at the moment?!

Seriously.

I just wanted to see her dressed in black silk and blood red lipstick, stalking Graz across the dancefloor to something you could imagine murdering your treacherous lover to, was that so much to ask, Strictly Music Elves?

Same here. Kym was made for a seething, simmering, blood-soaked paso!

At that point (May) you could see real chemistry between Nadiya and Kai

You must surely be mistaken, as according to the DS shipper-loons Kai has more chemistry with an oven glove than he has with Nadiya.
 
If Shirley leaves the top of my wish list for a new head judge is Loraine Barry from the Irish version, she's got the background and knows the format gives clear constructive criticism yet is always respectful and never lusts in the way Arlean and Shirley have done to the males.
I think with Anton being a judge they are unlikely to add another ex-pro.

Oh gosh, I hope not. He was as mardy as Will for his last few series. Series 13 in particular he spent with his bottom lip out.
I think we can forget just how rude and tetchy he could be.

There is a part of me that would very much enjoy seeing a 78-year-old Len judging the current incarnation of Strictly. 😆

Lady Lavatory rubbishing Fleur and Vito's routine already. She really hates lovely Vito for daring to be from Italy, doesn't she?

Plot twist: Lady Lav actually is Gio, which is why she has such intimate knowledge of his calendar. And why she has such a strong dislike of the shiny new Italian eye-candy.

It is the absolute airy certainty of her tone when she talks about these things! like, yes, Fleur's routine might be a carcrash, though I thought that about the samba, but given not a step of it has yet been shown, her tone is so condescending! also it's Vito's fault for not being able to give a powerpoint presentation on the choreo to Rylan on ITT after a glass of prosecco.

With Len retiring, I do think we might have a shot of getting rid of Shirley. Definitely think she'll audition and will leave us if she gets the gig. Wouldn't shock me if they went in-house though and promoted long term pro Cheryl Burke who is planning to stop dancing after 25 seasons in the same way that Strictly promoted Anton.

Regarding that interview with Sarah James and tension with pros, I can well believe that, it was around the time that James was axed, Ola was no longer happy, the Cliftons were taking over (with Kevin as teacher's pet, that had to rub some long termers up the wrong way), Aliona had Gregg that year and then decided that 2015 would be her last year, Kristina wanted to leave after 2014 as well etc, Robin was injured, Tristan may have felt disillusioned going from DWTS to SCD, Brendan was totally phoning it in after Sophie etc. I don't think some of the pros were happy with Louise Rainbow if I'm being honest.

The whole happy family thing is both toxic and creepy in equal measure, like a cult. If my workplace wanted to promote that, I'd run a mile at the earliest opportunity.

Trying to catch up with all the back stage goss posted on here. :unsure:

I can imagine some tension between some of the pros if some, *coughClifton seem to be favoured in some way. Both Cliftons may have been a bit too much taking over the show above the other hard working, yet kept in the background pros.

I read somewhere, probably on here, that the exec producer wasn't keen on couples in the pro line-up as they tend to get resentment from others. Don't know but strange how Janette waltzed off to ITT, quickly followed by Alijaz deciding to leave. I do kind of sense some tension between Kai and Nadiya and some of the other pros, perhaps trying to make themselves the golden couple then having their own show so soon may be a factor.

Takes something when the back stage pro goings on is more interesting than what is being done on the dance floor. Yes, Jason G is taking over rather too much, even the songs/tunes he uses are so repetative. Alternative choreographers may breathe some freshness into the show, or perhaps just leave it all to the pros to use their own individual innovative dance moves.
