Strictly Come Dancing 2023 #25

Before this series, I'd have said that Craig was irreplaceable but I kinda feel like he's a caricature of himself now and is just handing out low scores for the lols. Aside from the entire series of low scores for Nigel and the like, there is no way that Angela S was an 8 tonight. And then there's the whole storyline of him wanting to save his 10s. Layton deserved that 10 last week and I won't be convinced otherwise.

Perhaps radical - I say replace all four judges.

 

[Professor Yaffle]

The judges are extremely harsh with Nigel.

Everybody else they gloss over any errors. Will have to watch it again but overall it was a lovely dance.

Three of the judges were very '10' happy' tonight, where the errors were deemed as not worth commenting on, until it gets to Nigel, then ohhhh do they matter, yes they do.

I know I am his drum beater here but he is a bit of a perfectionist and the negative comments week on week are bound to take their toll. Just hope this dancing show hasn't dented his spirit after this has all finished. He is exactly what you see, never different, never puts a different persona on for the cameras or when the cameras are not there.

It is mind games out there, when you are told you are doing it wrong, doing it wrong, doing it wrong, you tend to do it wrong even more. It is the pressure.

Anyway big hug for Nigel. Guess what ALL my votes have gone to ......... Nigel and Katya

All I can say is Nikita’s girlfriend is a very lucky girl as he is utter filth

More of a painful grimace.

The mums will be rage voting for Nigel I imagine

Not a mum but I'm rage voting regardless

Click report and ask for it to be closed

I did straightaway, it just takes a while to activate.

I’m not a mum but raged voted for Nigel, Regardless of the mistakes I still love watching him and Katya. I like Dianne and Bobby but the choreography is dull… They need to get rid of the judges I can’t trust their opinion apart from Antons.

 

[wishiniwasskinny]

Angela Scanlon, Annabel and Ellie were my dances of the night!! Angela S deserved a higher score imo

This is how I voted

 

[Fillyjonk]

I voted Nigel - however, my knickers are not wet and though I am a mum, it wasn't a rage vote unless you count tactically voting to keep the enraging Booby and Tryanne out.

 

[MidCenturyMadOne]

I chucked all 3 votes to Layton, just for the Nikita pole action tbh.

 

[Woolmercardington]

I think it will it will be Angela R v Layton.

I actually don't mind Nigel, but I feel the worse he is, the more votes he gets. By this rate he'll win by being the shittest*


*I don't actually think he's tit. But at this rate, he shouldn't win over Ellie.

i’d be down for a complete judging replacement too. of all of them right now, i think i would only keep motsi. and that’s just for vibes i generally like craig but he wasn’t on good form tonight.

they need a karen hardy/natalie lowe type as head judge and then a younger guy (derek hough type) if it was up to me! anton adds absolutely nothing.

 

[Fillyjonk]

I reeeeeally hope Layton isn't in the bottom two. I know a lot of people who bunged him a vote.

Joy in the Clauditorium as Ellie and Vito get great comments.. oh

Me, too. Process of elimation, though. Who is more likely to be?

I'd love to replace Anton with a younger guy. Could the show survive losing Anton though? Seems to have quite the vocal fanbase.

Gio looks fuuuummmminnng.

 

[Harlot O'Scara]

Angela R was the obvious week link this week - the angry power voting will likely save Nigel so either Bobby or Annabelle probably going to drop into the dance off to knock her out, even though they both danced really well tonight.

Annabelle's AS was gorgeous, I think it was actually my favourite tonight!

Layton and Nikita danced amazingly but I STILL wasn't wowed. I think it's the choreo. It was just kind of like a random pop video.

Didn't like Ellie’s Charleston although she performed it really well so no quibble with the scores.

Angela S was great, pleased for her.

I did spot a tiny oopsie in Nigel’s otherwise fantastic dance but what bothers me about all the nit picking of him (and Craig's pettiness with some of the other contestants as well) is how often absolutely blatant errors are either glossed over and completely ignored.

Some VERY messy dances have got high scores and even 40s in the past.

For the Vito/Nigel (Nigeto? Vigel?) fanfic writers

Thank you, I'm going to cheer myself up with some Harman fan fic

My first bit of filth is inspired by the opening number at Blackpool tonight I noticed Nige took hold of Layton held his hand and he lead Layton to the back of the dance floor in the number
My second will be inspired by Vito kissing Nigel a lot
My third will be made up that he joined Nikita and Layton on that sweaty pole and there was some kind of dark orgy in the tower.
