The P+Lite Strictly Come Dancing Thread (2015)

Katie Derham. That's it, really. I know that young popsingerchappy is a revelation (not lease because he can't walk properly, which makes his jive a thing of double wonder) but la Derham and the wonderful Anton will prevail because

a) she's posh
b) he's not, and besides which, anybody who wears a light brown roll-neck under a jacket is clearly destined to be the ruler of the world.

As for the rest - Ainsley is waaay better than anybody thought he could be, that woman off of Sky gets the Chris Froome Bag of Spanners award, Peter's modesty is really quite remarkable and the wardrobe people are on fire this year..................

And please bear in mind that some of us are running a 'move it to Cafe sweep'. Think long and hard before your disbelieving splutter makes an impression on the keyboard.

It would never have occurred to me that anybody seriously into cycling would also get wrapped up in a pastiche of ballroom dancing. Yer lives and learns.

 

[DaveReading]

a pastiche of ballroom dancing

Isn't that a tautology ?

A prime time hit show with 50% of the judges gay and 100% of the presenters female? You could almost believe that Jeremy Corbyn could win the next election at that rate.

I've no idea what you're talking about. Therefore unfortunately I'm not able to comment.



That's probably the first time anyone's ever said that in an S,C & P topic.

Nice thing about strictly is it often turns someone who cant into someone that can.

Anton..."im actually getting to dance this year"..
Katie is a possible winner but ther's one or 2 that may suprise us.
i love northern soul dancing and can dance well to most stuff as i have rytham But ballroom is very tough..i couldnt do that as its all rules ..id like to try salsa tho..

there's more to life than worrying about labour or the tories

No...

While on the subject of 'reality' TV, did P&L get to discuss the Great British Bake Off "Its all a PC plot to promote immigrants" controversy?

Notwithstanding my earlier post, I can vouch for the fact that learning to ballroom dance is hard work, both physically and mentally.

Salsa is hard too, but in a different way - it's basically an improvised street dance that you can't do at all until you get your head around the rhythm. Most of the professionals on Strictly don't even try to do it properly.

When I started I found ballroom easier to pick up than Latin.

Once you've got the basic steps the rest is quite often a variation on them.

Hardest part for me was remembering to keep my back straight and maintaining a good close contact with my partner.

You lot serious? Even Mrs 26 has given up on watching that chatter programme
