Slowly catching up with Strictly 2022...
Group dance
A sort of techno eighties Hawaiian theme? With ALL THE GLITTER and spontaneous judges? Utterly ridiculous and I love it!
And Anton and Craig have even managed to swipe a couple of the headdresses!
Kym and Graziano: Jive to Yes by Merry Clayton
Just time for a quick warm-up before the news starts!
Tyler and Dianne: American Smooth to Falling by Harry Styles
Awwww.
Jayde and Karen: Samba to Dirrty by Christina Aguilera featuring Redman
Your cleaning... is acceptable. You may have your samba breaktime!
Kaye and Kai: Tango to Voulez-Vouz by ABBA
Let me save you from that ominously smoking drink...
James and Amy: Jive to What I Like About You by The Romantics
Are you sure you want that record?
Richie and Giovanni: Cha Cha Cha to I'm Your Man by Wham!
Everyone choose dance!
Helen and Gorka: American Smooth to You Send Me by Aretha Franklin
Nonono, this is how you play this bit *flails at piano* 😋
Molly and Carlos: Samba to Kiss My (Uh Oh) by Anne Marie and Little Mix
Who needs a set when you've got a samba!
Matt and Nadiya: Quickstep to Sir Duke by The Chris Walden Big Band
Milady, your quickstep awaits.
Ellie S and Nikita: Cha Cha Cha to Dance by DNCE
SASS DEPLOYED
Tony and Katya: Tango to Go West by Village People
That's an interesting choice of opening, descending on a cannon. I'm slightly disappointed that it didn't then fire anything!
(last year, one contestant said they "just wanted to be fired from a glitter cannon"!)
Will and Nancy: Jive to Livin' La Vida Loca by Ricky Martin
Wow, they properly went at it for that one!
(anyone else have the Shrek 2 version of this going through their head now?)
Ellie T and Johannes: Quickstep to I Am What I Am by Klaus Hallen Tanzorchester
Very glam.
Hamza and Jowita: Foxtrot to Islands In The Stream by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers
Look! It's a camera - we'd better dance!
Fluer and Vito: Cha Cha Cha to Let's Get Loud by Jennifer Lopez
Another full send of a dance - that felt more like a samba watching it!
Quotes out of context!
Claudia: "Anton and Craig, never take them off!"
Anton: "I thought I was the only one who mopped in a frock like that"
Richie: "Pesto pasta cha-cha-cha!"
Tess: "What are you, the new Craig?"
Ellie T: "I feel like jelly now!"
And rant time: the BBC's Strictly blog is useless for actually getting the song and dance list, because after the show airs they then replace the list with the next week's songs. At the time of writing the post titled "Week One" is a blatant lie as it actually contains week two's songs! I suspect user-unfriendly SEO shenanigans.
