Strictly Come Dancing 2023 #22

[Bol85]

I love this partnership, they are so brilliant together. I genuinely believe they will stay great friends after the show and tour.

This interview made me giggle! Nikita is a joy!

These articles are ridiculous. Nothing has been “confirmed” and of course they look “cosy” - they are dancing a rumba! Can I “break silence” to say DM journalists are a bunch of muppets?

Im honest appalled at these intrusive photos they’ve got of Ellie & Bobby. It really is a step too far to be shoving cameras through rehearsal room windows. Even if these two are together, they are both single and both trying to do a job. It’s awful.

Absolutely on the floor howling at this comment of Monkseal's!!!

Mrs Danvers is how I'm going to picture LadyLav in my head from now on!

 

[Professor Yaffle]

I didn't watch that season so just looked it up. OMG. I know there is nostalgia for the costume dept on Strictly but that dental floss outfit would definitely not fly now! (Matt's backflips were quite good!)

Is that where Dianne picked up the red hair concept?

Only problem is that Aliona is a much better dancer. Dianne can copy but cannot match up to her, dance wise.


The outfits were a bit oooo-errrrr, back in the day. It's a wonder it didn't give Brucie palpitation!

The red hair was a production decision - you can’t have too many girlies with the same hair colour (men obviously not a problem) so Aliona went red. The difference is that Aliona, after the first year, really only paid lip service to and it faded out the course of the series - even in her second year with Harry she was more ginger than red … and she always went back to her natural colour afterwards.

I imagine that when Diane arrived and there were a lot of brunettes, she was given the ceremonial box of Clairol. It’s just that Dianne seems to have made it part of her personality.

I just saw that comment of LadyLav! (apols to those who don't want to hear about her!)

As it's Rumba week, I'm fully expecting a 'did they kiss' moment in the choreography.

Just hoping against hope Tess doesn't have a nudge-nudge 'Did you two lovebirds kiss?' line in her script on Saturday night...

All totally natural and organic.

 

[EmmaS68]

Dianne’s hair was red before she joined Strictly. I think at least year before. It just got brighter and brighter.

Unlike of course, the samba when all the talk and headlines were about how Gio passionately kissed Amanda.

According to someone in the swirling vortex of insanity that is ds, Ellie and (Machiavellian cad) Vito may or may not be shagging and need to release a statement addressing the rumours.

They’re deeply concerned that the public is being mislead in a cynical and desperate attempt to win the glitterball. Because it’s not as if that would describe the whole history of the show in a bleeping nutshell.

 

[KatLit]

Dads all over the country are still bemoaning the increase of material in the costumes nowadays!

 

[Professor Yaffle]

Faster Angela, faster.

Slowwwww tango or is it a paso. I have totally blanked out on her, every dance is the same pace.

Frankly a statement isn't enough. A press conference is needed, preferably one of the Boris-during-lockdown types. Vito: 'next slide, please, Shirley'

Annabel doesn't look too bad. Angela R paso hard to tell. Bobby has plateaued according to the panel but he's an ickle baby so that's ok.
Ellie looks good?

 

[BDY_97]

I just saw that comment of LadyLav! (apols to those who don't want to hear about her!)

God she’s so bitter, talking about a kiss moment as if Gio hasn’t done that with every partner he’s ever had She can’t stand Vito getting praise and taking attention away from her beloved Gio, she better get used to it because Vito is definitely becoming a fan favourite this year along with Nikita.

 

[GiftedNotFree]

Nikita on ITT

 

[Fillyjonk]

Not the greasy Peter Andre hair. Nikita needs a hair intervention stat! Or a stylist who hasn't been locked in a wardrobe since 1998.

 

[kachoochoo]

aye, lads. you better strip it down alreet

 

[soccergirl]

Layton in the wig! They are so cute.

Omg this pro dance is so cheesy

 

[Boring Monday]

Has he gone The Full Harman in the tanning booth?

 

[Ablemabel]

I find ITT quite shite nowadays. Fleur is better than Janette, but I really notice everything being moved along en script. Of course every series has done it, but you notice it less with better presenters.

Friday panel is pointless.

Bah humbug.
