Haha I knowww I try to keep an open mind but how is it not obvious to the producers that every iconic dance there has been has been to music that suits the style of the dance! It's such a waste of what could be some really good dances by giving them crap music. And don't get me started on when they actually give the proper music but to a duffer 😂

wait so he’s not bobby, he’s “the awareness of the thoughts of bobby”?!?

as in like, “dancing the waltz, the awareness of the thoughts of bobby and dianne buswell?!”

It’s like something you write in a diary aged 14 and then cringe yourself inside out and back again when reading it 10 years later.

I also speculate how much awareness is needed for the thoughts of Bobby.

I think you can use "non-traditional" music but I wish they'd be a bit more adventurous/thoughtful and not just focus on pop hits and recycling the same few songs over and over.

Or when they do use certain types of pop music they have to slow it down, speed it up or put extra beats in it so it suits the style of dance. In which case why not just use the traditional music in the first place

I have a feeling Nigel's CC will be for his daughter and ovaries will be a-quiver across the nation.

Just trying to think how they can indicate that it is for his daughter.

Over the years she has never been in the public eye with her parents, her image or name has never been divulged publicly, would be surprised if that changed. Soooooo the only way would be to have a little banner of triangles on a piece of string with the words 'You are the best'. 😁 ❤


Ohhhh it melts your heart, he is such a lovely Daddy.

Dave Arch earns his crust, that's for sure.

Although that arrangement (and performance) of Nothing Breaks Like a Heart was er...unfortunate.

Sorry to talk about Bobby some more (honestly I'm sick of hearing about him too), but I've just seen this, and I'm like, is it a job well done if you make the viewers uncomfortable? There's been a lot of ATs on Strictly, but none of them have ever given me the impression of 'woman being held hostage by man obsessed with her' before 🤷‍♀️

In defence of Bobby I read it as 'job done' because they wanted to deliver a tango that was meant to be intense and intimate - passione


I personally didn't like it, it seemed predatory and too dark for me.

Am I the only person thinking Rippon's paso puts her on dodgy ground for the dance off again? I don't we're going to see anything we haven't seen before, her vote has already turned and she'd have been better off with traditional flamenco music and theming than Madonna.

She might be hoping for a camp vote but surely Lakita will have that sewn up with Loreen?

I wonder about Angela S. It could be lovely and calm in a sea of 'bigger' dances, or a bit forgettable, esp if they nitpick at her footwork

I kept thinking about Angela R’a face when she was receiving the comments and I finally realise what it reminded me of - my dog when I suggest she eats something she’s not fond off

I'm just thinking though is she usually fairly expressionless anyway! AR I mean, not your dog 🐶😁

Feel like Grangela will manage fine with Paso - clapping along to the beat, a couple of basic flamenco steps, maybe some cape work. Could be in the dance off again though purely based on votes and the number of people left.

I think it's mostly going to be Angela skirt wafting while Kai matadors around her.

I don't know whether he or Dianne have got the rawest deal this year.

Angela probably doesn't wang on about astral projection or whatever the duck.

One the other hand, he did have to get touched up by her fellow grannies on that scam programme.

She usually has a fixed large open mouth grin in place, and when she laughs she keeps the top of her mouth completely still and moves her bottom jaw up and down, like a poorly operated wooden puppet. It's the same way Noel Fielding laughs and it's incredibly unnerving, like they're trying to chomp their way through an invisible stick of gum as it enters their mouth. Tell me it's not just me that's noticed that?!
