The highly inaccurate guide to Strictly 2022, Week 3: Movies!

Anton's plan for the heist may be a bit dramatic but I'd totally watch that episode of Strictly Impossible.

Group dance
Mind the lyrics, lest you activate Strictly's hidden weather machine!

Richie and Giovanni: Samba to Hakuna Matata from The Lion King
What is this I don't even... what. Just what.

Molly and Carlos: Waltz to One Hand, One Heart from West Side Story
Awww. I don't know why but it's put me in mind of Romeo and Juliet.

Kym and Graziano: Charleston to If My Friends Could See Me Now from Sweet Charity
Wonderfully silly.

Hamza and Jowita: Rumba to the Theme from Jurrassic Park
Shouldn't we be running away from the dinosaurs instead of dancing around them?

Ellie T and Johannes: Cha Cha Cha to The Shoop Shoop Song (It's In His Kiss) from Mermaids
No, you can't have the pie yet, you need to let it cool first for about the length of a dance.

Matt and Nadiya: Viennese Waltz to Hold My Hand from Top Gun: Maverick
Awwww.

Tyler and Dianne: Charleston to Flash, Bang, Wollop! from Half a Sixpence
Wow - and the first 10's of the series!

Fleur and Vito: American Smooth to Part Of Your World from The Little Mermaid
Strictly gives us a sneak preview of the new Little Mermaid film.
(and wow, the BBC is going all-out on the AR effects tonight)

James and Amy: Cha Cha Cha to Hooked On A Feeling from Guardians of the Galazy
Dance like nobody's looking - wait, someone's looking! Eh, who cares, let's dance anyway

Ellie S and Nikita: Quickstep to Peppy and George from The Artist
Take 1: nailed it!

Will and Nancy: American Smooth to Cry To Me from Dirty Dancing
But what about the watermelon?

Tony and Katya: Samba to You Sexy Thing from The Full Monty
What.

Helen and Gorka: Viennese Waltz to Hopelessly Devoted To You from Grease
Why settle for a photo when you can have the real thing?

Jayde and Karen: Cha Cha Cha to What A Feeling from Flashdance
Mirror cha cha cha!

Out-of-context quotes!
Tess: "A rare and unpredictable beast: the rumbasaurus"
Claudia: "And yes, you will be carrying a watermelon"
Anton: "I feel like I've been a bit told off myself"
Amy: "What superhero doesn't shimmy"
Motsi: "I saw a lot of content" *pause* "I saw a lot of samba content"

The highly inaccurate guide to Strictly 2022, Week 3: Results!

Group dance
Well, we got a vaguely goth opening that put me in mind of Buffy the Vampire Slayer of all things. And then it transformed into... whatever insanity this is.

Mad About the Boy by Adam Lambert
That's some impressively fast dancing - almost like a duel at the start!

Dance-off
Well, that's surprising pair of couples for the dance-off - both scored solidly in the middle of the leaderboard. I think it's a bit of an unfair matchup as Fleur & Vito have an elegant ballroom dance, while Richie & Giovanni's is a bit too over-the-top with the comedy.

Out-of-context quotes!
Anton: "I thought it was Strictly Come Dancing"
Claudia: "We'll totally change the format"
Helen: "I see your t-shirt and raise you a bottle of milk"
Giovanni: "Looks at us, we've gone out dressed as Timon and Pumba!"
