Strictly Speaking: Week 4

Posted on October 14, 2019 by mkmswain

Madness. What were the judges thinking with those insane scores? What were the producers thinking with those insane music choices? And why, off the back of Movie Week, inflict this level of dance-obliterating am-dram intensity upon an unsuspecting public? MADNESS. … Continue reading →

Strictly Come Dancing, week 4: which celebrities scored too highly for technically mediocre routines?

Posted on October 13, 2019 by mkmswain
