It was Gemma who has the voter clout this week. Her samba was pretty rubbish I thought. Not such much the samba-ing - that was fine - but the narcolepsyography. The whole point of a samba is to get the party started - I refer you to Anton’s sleeves, for example - so it was bizarre to set it in a sleep-deprived can’t stay awake context. But Aljaz wore head to toe scarlet, so not all was lost.
Ok, time to come clean - that’s as much as I had written before my week got, like, rilly rilly busy, so here are the rest of my thoughts in bullet point form.
- Tess wore a fuchsia cape mini dress. I loved it. What have I become?
- Joe and Katya did a lovely New York - I had to ask Mr Cad for the word - girders themed quickstep. He's on for the final, I reckon. Katya.
- Alex in the dance off! Imagine if we’d lost her (waaaaaah, nooooooo, etccccccc)?!? A rumba though - that's always a risk. Especially in a brown-fringed dress. Not even Gorka's unbuttoned shirt was enough to distract.
- Mollie's quickstep was a delight. Her dress was not. Harlequin bejewelling and canary skirt. AJ continues to look like a young Captain von Trapp, Private von Trapp, if you will.
- Nadiya wore a poundshop wedding dress. You could smell the flammablility through the TV. Davood is right on Joe's heels - well done the men.
- Debbie's Argentine Tango was a Vinthent masterclass, frankly. Good use of low key and dramz. Oh and the splits. Did you know Debbie could do the splits?
- The paso doble-athon was AMAZING. I was only disappointed there were no crashes.
- WEEK TEN HIGHLIGHT: FASHION THEMED PRO-DANCE FEATURING OTI MABUSE OUT-BEYONCE-ING QUEEN BEY IN A SILVER LEO AND CAPE SKIRT AND IFFY WEAVE OH MY GOD SHE IS THE BESTEST T WAS SO HILARIOUS AND GOOD.
- ACTUALLY, the bestest was Pasha and Neil doing a catwalk strut in epaulettes and cravats and Blue Steel pouts. Mr Cad made us rewind & rewatch it over five times. I entirely supported him in this action.
- Or was the bestest Janette, Diane and Amy in black fringed trousers?
- Or was it the rest of the cast and judges pretending to be Anna Wintour in giant Primark sunglasses?
- No it was Pash'n'Neil.
- Kelly Clarkson, who hadn't been arse to wash her hair, and why should she anyway, looked on in awe as Janette and Gorks did a really quite extraordinary bit of dance and throwing around.
- That's it for this week. Speed blog ahoy! Better you say. WHY I OUGHTA!
- Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepetc.
