The 2016 Strictly come dancing thread

[Tal]

For those unfamiliar with Easter Parade (shame on you!), this is what you've got to look forward to tomorrow night:



You said quickstep, right..?

The Mrs tells me Will Young has withdrawn.
She is taking it better then I imagined.

Cant believe she married Kevin. Sigh!

I can't help but get the feeling we are in conspiracy theory mode now, but it's notable how some of the comments are generous for some people.

The judges seem to love Laura Whitmore. It was good but Len is absolutely bang on: her head was very odd.

Also getting the impression some people are there as novelty acts, judging by the outfits. Fairly unlikely we'll see Daisy, Danny, Laura and Louise in the sort of outfits the others are wearing. Equally, when will we see Ed or Judge Rinder in traditional clothing?

[Tal]

And the award for Campest Paso Doble goes to...




(On which note, the music? Really?!)

[Tal]

Rare for anyone to go out early on a Charleston. Only two I can remember are Jimi Mistri and Peter Shilton (any more?).

Don't see Naga joining that group.

Can remember a few rumbas though. Fun dances are always going to get votes. They're memorable. Slow dances don't capture the imagination for most of the public.

[Tal]

A remarkable improvement in footwork from Louise from midweek. She was really struggling in the footage on Wednesday.

That's something for the notebook for sure.

Will say there was a lot of time out of hold in that foxtrot and that was not mentioned at all by the judges.

[Tal]

Are we about to see the first ten?

Think I'd give Danny a ten.



Edit: he's probably a touch unlucky there. I didn't see a mistake. It was a brilliant performance. He is so naturally graceful. 36 no outrage of course. He's a clear favourite.

[Tal]

Difference there is that was a 100% rumba and it had the entire spectrum of moves. Has to be the toughest dance for the taller celebs.

If we are looking for a winner, history tells us it's oftentimes a grower who is solid early. Daisy seems to have no weaknesses and she's been given the hardest routine tonight.

The hollyoaks ringer should be odds on right? could basically dance as a Pro and you wouldn't know the difference

the each way value is?

Whoever priced Daisy and Judge Rinder together is either a complete pinsticker or knows something about the voting data. Ore is good too. The retraction on those flicks is fantastic.

I wouldn't touch Claudia at that price.

Danny Mac will be in Top Hat (or similar) in the New Year, I expect. It was pure Tom Chambers.

[Tal]

I can't believe I've just seen a better dance than Danny's tonight.

I need an eleven...

[TightEnd]

has ore had no dance training?

we know danny mac has.
