Strictly Come Dancing 2024 #3

Was Vito holding Annabels hand in that traitor reveal? I was starting to wonder if Graz was one because of all his huge over the top reactions but apparently Jake murdered him with a kiss of death during the Barbie number. I guess Graz just feels big feelings

Yes, it's the big reveal of Vitabel! While Ellie's been out drinking and shagging Bobby, Annabel's been showing Vito videos of how the fluoride in our drinking water causes Covid. He's intrigued! (we do know he likes an older woman)

I love Graz being murdered during the number!

That they are playing Traitors during the show, killing during the show is amazing. I'd love to be on this tour just to play the game. They seem like they all have so much fun.

Interesting to see who wins in Manchester this weekend with it being in Manchester. I’m going for more Layton wins

 

[Geetbo]

I bet Dianne sits backstage furiously voting for her and knobby to win every night. The sad cow.

Just popping to the dunny bobs. (Dragging a bag behind her with 20 phones in).

I can recall about three specific moments when, if Layton had been a girl and knowing Nikita to be straight, I'd have been 100% convinced he fancied her, and it wasn't even anything to do with being flirty or tactile. That E&V video definitely made them seem like a couple, but the cynical part of me does wonder if they all play up to these things to keep the fans hooked.

Yeah, I think you're probably right that a lot of them play up the closeness for votes. And why wouldn't they, it obviously works.

Out of purely neutral curiosity *cough* and not shipper derangement syndrome *cough* what were the three specific moments?

Fair enough, I can’t stand Brendan Cole so this may add a negative filter for me onto everything that he says.

Fair enough, he is a bit of a twit. He really got on my nerves the week Craig missed with Covid in 2021. He posted an instastory whining about not being picked to replace him, and was so immature and ridiculous about it. Did one of those middle-schooler or facebook Karen-style vagueposts where he wouldn't actually say what he was talking about but it was obvious that was what he was talking about I don't even think he was wrong about the general point that an ex-Strictly pro should've been the guest judge instead of a random musical theatre actress, but he was such a head about it lol

Brendan and James Jordan spout too much shite, any valid points they make often get lost (usually I the midst of other shite).
Some people would play devils advocate and say you should listen to them when they are making a valid point, others (myself included) would be happy to never hear another word from them ever again (if the point is that valid, some other reasonable person would have made it).

Defo Ellie and Layton for Manchester - out of interest, can non-showgoers vote?

 

[Boring Monday]

I think they went for Cynthia because it was musicals week (and she is awesome) and as a happy side effect it gave us Tom Fletcher and his stunned haddock face.

Diamond middle name Thunder! Do you know the immense self control it took for me to not ask this? (She says nonchalantly waiting for the reply).


There is a new scarf in play on the PFTS insta stories.

 

[ButtonDownTheHutches]

The intensity!!

The BBC should stream the whole of Strictly Tour Traitors for those of us who are suffering withdrawal symptoms from the proper series!

Haha, I restrained myself from asking yesterday hoping you would instead!

I wish they were demonstrating a different kind of 18+ warm up!

I was just having a look at the 2010 tour thread on DS after Monkseal mentioned that a group of devoted Ali and Brian fans spam voted to get them some wins on tour and sent the number to other fans outside of the venue. The drama of it all, the accusations, the acting like the tour is a matter of life and death, it's good to see that DS never changes They must have changed the voting after that so you only get 10 votes and votes from outside the arena don't count.
It feels like obsessed fans and shippers are a relatively recent thing in the Strictly fandom, but I guess they were mostly contained to DS before and now they're everywhere (side eyes some on this thread )

Stunned haddock face

 

[soccergirl]

Angela has had a bad chest infection which triggered a serious asthma attack and she stopped breathing at the start of the CCC in the Liverpool show! Very scary! But she is back (though she says 'tonight' but I think there's a matinee so maybe she's skipping that)

Glad she's ok - did anybody in the audience notice what was going on? must have been scary for Kai!

She is some trooper! Wow!

Cor Angela is a 1st class trooper, wish my husband had some of that grit when his man flu kicks off.

Will Mellor: 'my manflu means that I'm going to swoon like a Victorian heroine on TV rather than take a paracetamol but don't worry, Daddy's fine!'

Angela R: 'I was clinically dead at the start of my performance in Leeds but Kai and I merely adopted a stiff upper lip, Blitz-style, then had some cocoa while the paramedics revived me'.

 

[Boogs]

I’m currently recovering from a chest infection and have been debating whether it’s a good idea to take the dog for a walk around a reservoir.

79 year old Angela is performing in an Arena after 2 days rest following a major respiratory incident.

Gets off fat arse and calls the dog.

 

[Woolmercardington]

Fookinell Ange! I had twisted ankle on my bingo card, not mildly deceased.

Can you imagine if she had anyone other than Kai?! Vito would be hysterical and have needed some CPR himself, Graz would have hoisted her over his head running towards the crowd shouting is there was a Dr in the house forgetting all about the Paramedics, Carlos would have dropped to his knees called for the paramedics and given the audience a full Shakespearean monologue and I'm not even sure Neil would have noticed.
Thank goodness for steady dependable Kai.

I take the mick out of my husband but I've been pretty ill these past weeks, I Impressed myself this morning with doing deep clean and then there is Angela briefly clinically dying and still continuing the arena tour.

 

[whoareyoukidding]

Poor Ange- what a trooper! That generation just gets on with it.
If you were gonna die though, what a way to go.. surrounded by Nikita, Graz, Vito
Sorry.. jokes but yeah
