Which song was that? (Have I mentioned you're very cryptic? Why yes, I think I have)

But you can do tight shorts under baggy shorts- you can but shorts like that in the shops. Boxers have bare legs, always

Usually hide during rumba. But I was mesmerised by Alex and I watched nearly all of it. Her dress! Her hair! Her legs! Her feet!

I love La Voix but I couldn't give her any votes this week because, as she herself said(well, imploed), she had such a shit outfit. I just couldn't.

Why was she dressed as Tina Turner when it wasn't a Tina Turner song? What was the boxing thing all about? Why did Aljaz have tights under his shorts?

I have never got used to having to use a hashtag. I constantly forget. It would be helpful if you are posting from a particular feed that it automatically puts that feeds hashtag at the beginning or end of your post. Helpful for me anyway!

Tbh its easy enough online through the web page. I've been doing it that way for about 15 years

Might have done a bad thing by not giving balvinder a vote. She's in the middle of the board danger zone again.

Think it might be her and Chris (the judges damned him.with faint praise so he doesn't get sympathy votes)

Yes. Her and Nikita are a business partnership. They don't like each other at all.

Also, Nikita is possibly king of the AT of the pros we have at the moment and I can't believe he wouldn't have been trying to get her to do a decent A frame. She just didn't

I gave two points to Katya's dress and one point each to Alex, Vicky and Nadiya.

Or something like that

I think you all need to know:

I'm agin Amber.

Unusually for me it's not random and irrational. It's because she has the same manner as someone I had the misfortune to work with last year - very false and very manipulative. I don't trust her (and I don't believe in her and Nikita's parnership)

No. I'm reading it that she had v low self esteem after the divorce from the husband. She had no confidence at all. The she was partnered with Dan the presenter and he is such a genuine gentleman and they did quite well and she seemed to blossom and gain some of her sense of self. Then Kai

I don't think she makes very good choices with men

Sparkly Fell Elf @sparklyfellelf.bsky.social · 11h

Me and my cousins are casting votes based on frocks.

And Vicky's carwash samba trousers.

I'd love to give Shirley's stolen curtain and cushion cover dress a vote but its not an option

They never had my blessing

Nadiya has been in strictly since 2017 and Kai has only been there since 2021. They've been split up a year. So 3 years of strictly with kai but 5 years of strictly not with him

She was married to the guy who was the father of her daughter and then I think k she had some flings, then when Kai joined the dancers they got together

But she wasnt with Kai those first couple of seasons. He wasnt even on the team. And she'd started coming out of her shell before Kai. But she's exuberant and bouncy now - beyond simply coming out of her shell

But yes, not a fan of kai. Always disapproved of her being with him

Nadiya is a different woman to the one she was for her first few seasons. She was so quiet and seemed a bit scared. Now she's exuberant and joyful. I'm very happy about that (she seemed to come out of her shell when partnered with Dan)

Amy has always known how to brief and/or butter up the Vicky crew and get good frocks and I've noticed katya seems to have caught on. She's about the only one getting nice dresses this year. Her dress tonight is superb

Before Shirley said she had no idea how to judge La Voix's cha cha cha I declared that it was a dreadful routine and I had no idea if it was good dancewise or not.

Apparently not

My cousin has just asked
"What's with the gold scrambled egg on dresses this year?"

And it's a fair question

Sparkly Fell Elf @sparklyfellelf.bsky.social · 12h

And a couple of. Cushion civers. Huge fan personally (but hope she replaced your curtains and the street lamp isn't blinding you through your window)

1

Sparkly Fell Elf @sparklyfellelf.bsky.social · 12h

I'm loving Shirley's "I just pulled down the curtains and tossed in a couple of cushions covers for my dressmaker to run up a little something" dress. Fabulous colour and just all round amazing

I find George quite unassuming and a bit mouselike in real life. And then on the dance floor he suddenly becomes all powerful and moody. Sexy even
