Strictly Come Dancing 2024

You’re no fun

I think it does the dances no good. The costumes detract from the dances, and there’s even more pressure than usual to shoehorn in wholly inappropriate songs for the dances. The routines also tend to involve character acting which detracts from the dance, and for which the celebs often end up being penalised by the judges. Annoyingly.

Overall, I don’t think it’s fun.

I’m listening to music on my headphones while Mrs LR watches.

 

[Glitter]

I love it, the hair, the make up, the silliness.

I don’t mind the character stuff either.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Me: "Johannes' trousers!!"
The Small One: "....YES!"

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Nikita in suspenders

 

[Rebecca Riot]

Loved Sarah's AT but I think a dog must have sneaked in and shat on the stage as she seemed to be trying to get something off her shoe!

Well she got through. I voted for her, Sam and Nikita and Pete and Jowita. I never thought I'd vote for Wicks, but I just love The Joker, and he did a decent job, so the character thing worked for me and I think he earned my vote. Wynn was overmarked. What's new with the judges though, who are all over the place? Craig is usually the exception to that, but even he has these mad lapses, probably from a little producer bird in his ear "advising" him. There is no doubt they have favoured Wynn so far.

Shirley was so annoying with her stupid voice all the way through the main show.

Really liked Pete. Wasn't that impressed with Sarah tbh.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Not Pete Wicks' best dance

 

[LakieLady]

Wynne was pretty poor too.

 

[MrsArcanum]

Looks like a pile up on scores of 29.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

The Small One watching Sarah and Vito "Pull your trousers up Sir!!"

 

[breadandcircuse]

At last! They have all been pretty meh so far. Sarah and Vito actually lighting the place up again, and I speak as someone who loathes Madonna.

 

[MrsArcanum]

The Small One watching Sarah and Vito "Pull your trousers up Sir!!

Anton mentioning a wedgie.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

JB was good

 

[felixthecat]

JB made me feel happy

 

[breadandcircuse]

Jamie was very good again.

 

[RoyReed]

More Andrew Ridgley than George Michael.

 

[breadandcircuse]

My 3 votes went to Sarah, JB and Montell this time. It was a toss up between her and Jamie to be honest, but I'm sure he will survive. So far Sarah is the best every week for me. Wynn is overmarked continually.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

K-Pop stuff... what? I feel old and out of touch

 

[QueenOfGoths]

We decided our icons
Me...Dolly Parton ("Jolene")
Mr. QofG's.. Mick Jagger ("Start Me Up"))
The Small One...Elton John ("I'm Still Standing")

 

[Everything Goes]

K-Pop stuff... what? I feel old and out of touch

Yeah, K-pop is South Korea Pop music, seems to be boy or girl bands.

This band is called dearALICE or who the fuck is Alice as I shouted at the TV when they came on.

This particular act is simply trying to cash in on the trend as it looks like none of them are from South Korea....

Who are Dear Alice? Meet the band members starring in Made in Korea

Have the boys got what it takes?

I hope they never do that week again, it was shite. And fuck the judges dressing up in stupid costumes. Although at least Shirley didn’t do a stupid voice the whole way through.

Sad Sam went, she was great. Should have been Pete, who was bloody awful, or Wynne.

Also, Amy out entirely - Injury forces dancer Amy Dowden to leave this year’s Strictly

(Although I do prefer Lauren)

 

[Sapphireblue]

i hate when you reach the point in the show where the quite good people are in the bottom cos the mediocre people have more public support. at least there are no shockers left.

 

[RubyToogood]

Who is Shane again and why is he still here?

 

[May Kasahara]

Disclaimer: I am very irritable today. But really, this series of Strictly is just not doing it for me. I hate Miranda, Sarah looked like a rag doll being flung around in those lifts, and that Mariah Carey cover that ringer and co opened with was fucking diabolical.

 

[Plumdaff]

Poor Pete was barely keeping it together there.

 

[RubyToogood]

Nobody really killing it so far today.

 

[BoatieBird]

I loved Montell's dress

There's a lot of "meh" people for me. Pete, Shayne, Jamie, Tasha don't do anything for me.

I do like Sarah and I do hope she stays in as she is enthusiastic and loving it but it wasn't her best dance

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Chris is lovely!
