Re: Strictly 2022
Tell your friend I listened to about ten seconds of it. That was enough to know it was cr*p before fast forwarding

Didn't reckon much to him or the dancing so I used the time to make a cup of coffee and take a toilet break. Not as good as Pearl Carr and Teddy Johnson!!!

Re: Strictly 2022
I see there are claims of racism at Strictly after viewers put Fleur into the bottom two despite her mid table dance performance.
Have these people not noticed that Molly has also been relegated to the bottom two repeatedly despite good dance performances? Unless my eyes are deceiving me she is white!
So is it now automatically racist if we don't choose the black person in preference to the white one? The same way it is homophobic if we don't choose the gay?

I think the reason fleur doesn’t resonate with the voting public is because she comes across a bit butch, not only in her stature but also with her facial expressions.Mervyn and Trish wrote: 28 Nov 2022, 12:21I see there are claims of racism at Strictly after viewers put Fleur into the bottom two despite her mid table dance performance.

Re: Strictly 2022
Not sure if this has been planned for a while or if there are some tactics at play but this week Kym & Graziano are dancing a Cha Cha to Fame from Fame - coincidence that Irene Cara died last week. Another sympathy vote to try and stay in the competition?

Re: Strictly 2022
Because of the work that has to go into creating 90 second rehearsal versions of the original tracks and arranging the live versions my understanding is that process for this week's music would have been well under way before she died last Friday, so my money is on coincidence.david63 wrote: 01 Dec 2022, 14:33Not sure if this has been planned for a while or if there are some tactics at play but this week Kym & Graziano are dancing a Cha Cha to Fame from Fame - coincidence that Irene Cara died last week.

Re: Strictly 2022
I hope the voting public don’t follow the same route as previous weeks and put Molly and fleur in the bottom two.
I’m going to ditch my Republican views and become a Monarchist if Kym survives this week’s vote
I though Molly was outstanding as were Fleur and Helen this week.
So it's hello Will, goodbye Kym.

Re: Strictly 2022
It doesn't matter who is in the dance off with Kym as she is not in the same league as any of the others

But assuming the monarchy are as devious as Keefie says, then they will be mobilising their contacts at the Beeb to make sure he chokes on his promise.david63 wrote: 02 Dec 2022, 21:40It doesn't matter who is in the dance off with Kym as she is not in the same league as any of the others

Re: Strictly 2022
I'd agree about Kym, but it was a pretty advanced league this week. Whoever gets through any one of them could win now. But yes I'm looking forward to Keefie grovelling to the King.

Re: Strictly 2022
My guess would be that it will be Molly's turn to be in the dance off - she seems to alternate with Fleur.
Next week will be difficult. My prediction for the dance off will be Molly and Fleur - although Hamza could be struggling as he has not upped his game as much as the others over the last couple of weeks.

The right result. Keefie survives the dance off!
But by heck it's going to be tough next week.

I’m sure some will be disappointed to see Kym go out but lets look on the bright side….I’m still here fighting the cause

How Molly found herself in the bottom two is a complete joke.

Indeed, but since you had Will as also in the dance off your bet is lost and we expect you to honour your commitment to become a Monarchist.Onelife wrote: 03 Dec 2022, 18:21I’m sure some will be disappointed to see Kym go out but lets look on the bright side….I’m still here fighting the cause![]()

Re: Strictly 2022
It was pretty obvious that Kim would be going home. Her performance was pretty lame I thought against all the other dances who really upped their game this week.
As for her having Covid, yeah right. You don’t get Covid then spend a week in training. Why the BBC didn’t come out and be honest and just say her dad is poorly in hospital and she is taking a week out. The public aren’t stupid, and this I feel was her downfall.
Poor Molly, she must be thinking ‘why me again’.
Hamza still gets my vote

Re: Strictly 2022
Depends on when your week starts/ends. If your week starts on a Sunday then there is no SCD this coming week - you will have to wait until the following week when it is on on Sunday 11th December
