I thought the jives and charlstons were a bit lacklustre this year. A few not bad but not as fun as usual.

pensionpat Sun 13-Dec-20 23:27:11

I often watch Jay and Aliona’s jive on You Tube. Fantastic. And it was in week 3.

Marilla Sun 13-Dec-20 22:52:20

Another Jay McGuiness jive fan. It was an amazing performance.

Kate1949 Sun 13-Dec-20 21:05:39

Oh yes Michael Ball and Cathy McGowan. I don't think they're married though.

LullyDully Sun 13-Dec-20 21:04:56

Yes I was surprised to find that when I googled her.

Grannynannywanny Sun 13-Dec-20 20:58:35

LullyDully your mention of Cathy McGowan reminded me of something I read recently. I hadn’t realised Cathy is married to Michael Ball. They’ve been together 22 years.

Millie22 Sun 13-Dec-20 20:18:44

Craig looked very undecided I've never seen him like that before.

Calendargirl Sun 13-Dec-20 20:17:39

Bill and Jamie just making up the numbers though, it’s either Maisie or HRVY if any justice.

Ellianne Sun 13-Dec-20 20:14:54

You're right Beauregard. Ranvir can only dance when hanging onto Gio. Jamie does move quite well on his own.

Beauregard Sun 13-Dec-20 20:12:09

* they'd

Beauregard Sun 13-Dec-20 20:11:06

Yes. I thought they save Ranvir. But Jamie is a better all rounder.

Sparklefizz Sun 13-Dec-20 20:10:24

Oh. Sigh. I don't think either Jamie or Bill are "finals material".

LullyDully Sun 13-Dec-20 20:07:50

Good decision.

LullyDully Sun 13-Dec-20 20:06:16

Claudia looks She reminds me of Cathy McGowan.

honeyrose Sun 13-Dec-20 19:56:25

Sparklefizz - I agree, Shirley’s dress is beautiful. Very elegant and sassy. I’m not keen on seeing the cleavage she often displays.

Sparklefizz Sun 13-Dec-20 19:52:05

Shirley looks Hollywood-tastic with that dress and her hair.

Calendargirl Sun 13-Dec-20 19:47:18

Pleased Motsi isn’t wearing another huge bow.

Don’t think her bosom needs any emphasis.

Sparklefizz Sun 13-Dec-20 19:45:16

His Jive was stupendous!

EllanVannin Sun 13-Dec-20 19:43:11

Jay McGuinness will always be my favourite with his jive-2015.

Sparklefizz Sun 13-Dec-20 19:39:35

I liked Shirley's dress. The neckline was lovely, much better than her low-necks.

Sparklefizz Sun 13-Dec-20 19:38:39

My first thought was that it was a rat, but I think it was the necklace! Haven't a clue what it was about really, but I love that song.

phoenix Sun 13-Dec-20 19:38:32

At least Motsi's (sp?) dress tonight seems to have her bosoms a bit more contained and under control!

Ellianne Sun 13-Dec-20 19:36:42

It was very good, but I haven't a clue what it was all about! Was that a bird?

Sparklefizz Sun 13-Dec-20 19:35:29

Wow! Fabulous opening dance.

Ellianne Sun 13-Dec-20 16:47:46

I assume the producers choose the music, though I'm guessing the pros get some sort of input?
I remember at stage school we, as performers, never chose our numbers so you could end up performing to music you didn't really like. I once had a dance totally changed a week before a competition because the teacher felt it wasn't doing me any favours.
