Strictly Come Dancing 2023 #26

[Harlot O'Scara]

I'll never forget when Russell Crowe randomly popped up for Tom Fletchers CC when he clearly didn't know who Tom was

How on earth did that come about?!

 

[UnknownTattler]

I love it when they get somebody to do a VT if a celeb has danced to their song or represented their character and neither the person in the VT nor the celeb knows who the other is or what's going on.

Russell Crowe's message to Tom Fletcher after his infamous CC was bizarre. Actually that whole thing was a fever dream, the VT about his sister who is very much alive but they made her sound dead, the extremely earnest contempowaft dance, and then Russell Crowe sending him a message when it was clear he didn't know who Tom was or what he was doing.
Topped off by the joy that couldn't be contained on this thread when the spoiler came out that night

ETA: not forgetting this

The only dances I'm excited for this week are Layton's and Ellie's. I feel so sorry for Angela S getting a cha cha this late

Whys he itching his armpit

 

[soccergirl]

Bobby and Di doing contempo/ballroom CC - they have been crying in rehearsals, apparently. Great.

 

[Miss Begotten]

Christ almighty. Did Booby really just say Di was replicating his mother?

 

[Holmessk]

I am already welling up at the thought of This Women's Work

 

[Professor Yaffle]

Bobby and Dianne - contemporary waft?

Ohhhh dear Dianne acting as a Mum, his Mum.

 

[lizzolyn]

Christ almighty. Did Booby really just say Di was replicating his mother?

No he said she was playing the role of a woman who you could think of as a mother role.

Beautiful song that actually suits a contemporary.

 

[louseylou]

Bobby and Dianne - contemporary waft?

Ohhhh dear Dianne acting as a Mum, his Mum.

As if I didn't hate the thought of this dance enough already.

 

[Holmessk]

Another massive shirt for Fleur and now she's doing the classic standing with your hand on your back

 

[Boring Monday]

Christ almighty. Did Booby really just say Di was replicating his mother?

The more I hear about it, the more I want to cringe.
i can confidently predict at least one heartless person won’t be having a tear on Saturday

I wonder if she would announce on the show at some point??

 

[soccergirl]

Christ almighty. Did Booby really just say Di was replicating his mother?

Yes he did. He said 'there's me as a child then I come out and Dianne.. replicates a woman, playing my mother probably'. Makes me wonder if they will open with say, pics or vid of Baby Bobby (and Jade?) and then Bobby comes out. Yikes.

 

[louseylou]

Yes he did. Hr said 'there's me as a child then I come out and Dianne.. replicates a woman, playing my mother' probably'. Makes me wonder if they will open with say, pics or vid of Baby Bobby (and Jade?) and then Bobby comes out. Yikes.

The whole thing seems weird.

 

[glasgow27]

Dianne acting as Jade? Erm...

Then there's the issue of Bobby a) not remembering Jade, and b) having zero emotional depth to his personality shown so far on the show. I genuinely can't see how this will work. I think some people will lap it up, but I can't imagine there won't be any "huh?" reactions to it. Especially since Jade herself was rather polarising and I don't think is necessarily a figure everyone wants to pay tribute to (sorry if that sounds heartless).

 

[Boogs]

Oh bleeping hell he’s here again! Is he Shirley’s secret toy boy and that is why he is always on screen?

 

[LaBlonde]

Yes he did. He said 'there's me as a child then I come out and Dianne.. replicates a woman, playing my mother probably'. Makes me wonder if they will open with say, pics or vid of Baby Bobby (and Jade?) and then Bobby comes out. Yikes.

…… oh i am NOT sure about this

the “my mother, probably” was so casual too, for a dance that is going to require complete sincerity if they’re going to pull it off.
