Baron99   779 #61 Posted November 15, 2020 (edited) Spotted last night that the BBC, so as not to 'offend & upset', change the words of the song, 'Oye Como Va', removing the word 'Mulatta' & replacing it with 'Chiquita', during Ranvir Singh's dance. Edited November 15, 2020 by Baron99 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
hauxwell   243 #62 Posted November 15, 2020 I agree with Cressida, I don’t find Tess common. I don’t think Stricktly would be the same without her.  Also agree with Nikki, Bill Bailey surprised me how good he is, I can see him making it to the semifinal. Although it might be a bit to early to predict that.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

When I said my goodbyes to him I said the next time I see you I expect you will speak different, I’m sure they will teach you to lose your accent.  He told me no they don’t do that any more. They encourage you to keep your accent.   Tess has got a nice voice and she is definitely not common in my eyes. Also I like to hear the professional dancers talk, most of them are from different countries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

PRESLEY   1,224 #66 Posted November 15, 2020 (edited) Some people don't like Gino D'Acampo's accent then again some people do,  I was giving my opinion, its not a law that  everybody should like the same. Edited November 16, 2020 by PRESLEY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
cressida   1,552 #67 Posted November 16, 2020 Anton praised Max when the judges gathered before the eliminating dance, said both pairs had improved and then voted Max and Diane off! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
metalman   21 #68 Posted November 17, 2020 I'm sure Max sealed his own fate on Saturday night which is why he ended up against somebody much better than him in the dance-off rather than somebody he stood any chance against. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Its the cheesy and smug judges, nobody more smug than silly Aton Dubec, ( smug name for starters ) then there is Tess Daly who even makes sheffielders sound posh, I thought Kieth Lemmon sounded common but she really sounds as common as muck,  , as Larry Grayson would say.  Anton finally in the judges seat. I dont find him smug at all.

I think they ought to keep Anton when Motsi comes back, it just works better with 4 judges. Though he needs to be a bit more critical and mark a bit lower otherwise he'll leave himself nowhere to go when somebody does something really exceptional.
