Strictly 2023

[Ellie]

In what way was that a 10?

 

[FetchFugly]

WTF at Shirley's score for Eddie. They always go overboard with these street dance routines but REALLY?!

 

[FetchFugly]

I thought Adam was TERRIBLE. What could the judges see?

 

[FetchFugly]

These couples near the end seem to get an extra point or two for free.

 

[FetchFugly]

Krishnan is such good fun. I wouldn't have gone to an 8, but there you go.

Nikita and Zara/Jody in the bottom two? Nikita to go either way. Zara was clearly better and I'd say Jody was too, especially on reduced training. I get the feeling Gorka would be a bit relieved as well.

 

[FetchFugly]

A Krishnan Paso

 

[Eddie]

I loved Angela Scanlon before this and I love her even more now.

 

[FetchFugly]

28 feels a bit stingy for Ellie and Vito. I knew it was coming going on first though.

 

[Finn]

Was Vito this sweaty last year? Either way I'm here for it

 

[FetchFugly]

I don't think I am here for these rave reviews for Adam Thomas.

 

[Ellie]

I don't think I am here for these rave reviews for Adam Thomas.

It was competent, but hardly worth the level of praise he got.

 

[Ellie]

Oh dear. This one surely has to go now.

 

[Ellie]

Did Jody even REHEARSE this week? It looked like he learned it about an hour ago.

 

[FetchFugly]

Jowita getting out his freshly waxed tits so early only confirmed how this would go.

 

[FetchFugly]

Pointless prop of the week.

 

[straightorbroken]

Just joined and thought Amanda was a very successfully face-lifted Lesley Joseph in her close-up taking feedback from the judges. Missed the dance.

 

[FetchFugly]

Craig deals with a few boos in a very different way to Shirley

 

[straightorbroken]

The band playing RHCP just sounded like they were falling down the stairs at the same time when they rocked out.

 

[FetchFugly]

Anton needs to calm right down tonight.

 

[FetchFugly]

I love Krishnan but to mark that the same as/better than Ellie...

NO

 

[Finn]

The absolute fucking state of that You Don't Have To Say You Love Me rendition poor Zara had to twirl about to

DUSTY SPRINGFIELD'S ALREADY DEAD. YOU CAN'T MURDER HER

 

[FetchFugly]

Well that was a horrifically chopped up arrangement of You Don't Have to Say You Love Me (pretty competently sung though).

 

[FetchFugly]

Not a fucking dual cartwheel. Annabel managed a dance without one of her customary blank moments so I guess that is something.

 

[FetchFugly]

Even Shirley wouldn't be loopy enough to give this another 10.

 

[FetchFugly]

Karen Hauer back to plotting to murder Shirley again.

 

[Finn]

At least Whitney fared better than Dusty

The self-hating gay in me does tend to find Layton a BIT MUCH so then I give him at least one of my free votes to try and atone

 

[FetchFugly]

I don't think Adam Thomas is going to be top of the leaderboard much longer.

 

[FetchFugly]

Well it was more of a 10 than Eddie.

 

[FetchFugly]

Nigel very good too. They need to stop backloading these shows quite so much.

 

[FetchFugly]

Is that four couples on 28 now?

 

[FetchFugly]

This does seem to be the week to rain on the parade of the female frontrunners.

 

[Ellie]

Bloody hell Ange

 

[Finn]

That rumba was SENSATIONAL. And Dave Arch's moll didn't murder Conchita!

 

[FetchFugly]

There were some incredible moments in that Rumba, but a few that didn't look quite so wonderful.

The comments were rather more ecstatic than the scores.

 

[FetchFugly]

Bobby looks a bit pissed off.

 

[Finn]

What an underwhelming end to the show. I was expecting a serve

 

[Finn]

And yes Bobby is NOT taking it well

 

[FetchFugly]

I didn't love it either. Interesting that none of the judges mentioned him counting out loud as well.

 

[Finn]

And yes Bobby is NOT taking it well

Oh but he pulled to back in the Clauditorium. Still a NICE BOY

 

[FetchFugly]

Oh but he pulled to back in the Clauditorium. Still a NICE BOY

I think he looked unhappy before the judges even started speaking, like he knew he hadn't performed it as well as he could or something.
