[bonniebird]

I watch it, I love it, I like Matt, Scott, Pamela and a couple of others. Glad Paul Daniels is out, not keen on the rugby guy or Michelle the American lady, love the winter watching Strictly, don't do X Factor(td)

Felicity Kendal ain't half bendy for a 64 year old!

[*Bob*]

I can't look at her face.

It looks like she's continuously coming-up on a pill.

Isn't she just!

I love Strictly, it does cause arguments in the house though.. Kids get jealous of me paying attention to something else for a couple of hours a week and so does Mr. Asset even though he secretly likes it too.

Anyway, I was a bit disappointed to see Felicity has succumbed to Botox, that forehead cannot move a jot it's so frozen, does a fair bit of yoga though by the looks of it. Michelle Williams is dreadful, so wooden, Pamela was good but I can't bear the luvviness. Who's the guy Scott - he looks like a gangster, good dancer though it seems. Patsy a bit crap but nerves mainly it looks like.

Let's hope the dresses are better this year than last year's.

My guilty pleasure.

[Loz]

Yes, but this year is a disaster - we've lost Ola early. No catsuits!! Hurumph.

[Asset]

You didn't see the outfit Flavia was wearing this week then???? Didn't leave much to the imagination!

[RosieH]

Catsuit on Tina tonight, looking pretty foxy. It's pleather you know.

However, this abortion of a cover of Devil Gate Drive is making me want to rip my own ears off.

I totally *heart* Strictly. Glad to find a thread about it :)

Just some of my thoughts on last nights Halloween special.

Pamela & James - She's got great natural dance ability and can perform it well but HUGE mistake aside, for some reason the jive didn't seem to work for her.

Tina & Jared - Much better job in their Argentine Tango but they seem to lack personal chemistry with each other.

Kara & Artem - For me, this was the Dance of the night. Dramatic, technically very good and finally some performance from Kara.

Patsy & Robin - Bless her, but Patsy always looks like she's dancing at a wedding after 4 glasses of wine.

Felicity & Vincent - Quite flat and boring, and what has happened to her top lip?

Jimi & Flavia - Really great performance piece. Who would have thought a zombie could do the Paso Doble so well.

Michelle & Brendan - The spat between Len & Brendan was the highlight of the dance. And Len was right IMO...lacking A LOT of content which is fair enough as she missed 2 days training. Brendan could have just defended the dance of that basis but threw a bit of a strop.

Gavin & Katya - Gavin, Gavin, Gavin...you are like polished floorboards....flat, shiny & stained. How can a person be that lacking in personality. What a waste of Katya's very impressive charms ;)

Scott & Natalie - Didn't quite understand the high marks, but then i'm not a huge fan of the Viennese Waltz. All that spinning makes me dizzy just watching.

Ann & Anton - Can we start a campaign for a medal for Anton? He needs something for all his heroic efforts.

Matt & Aliona - They are my favourite couple since the start but this was a poor dance. Lacking in content and nervously executed. He is probably the best dancer in the show but the choreography wasn't great. Sorry Aliona...we still love you.

Result show is on 20mins or so and my bet is on Michelle/Brendan & Gavin/Katya in the bottom 2. Probably Michelle will go.

[mightyroar]

Mr Roar and the miniroars all in agreement about loving the Strictly.

Quite sad about cute little Tina and the even cuter little bloke.

Felicity should have gone I think! agree about the botox, it is quite a 'coming up' look it's given her.

Rooting for Matt & Aliona but Patsy is really growing on me, totally agree about the wedding dancing though, that's part of the charm.

Gavin, Felicity or Michelle to go next week.

[V511]

Was surprised to see Tina & Jared go, but on Strictly it feels that you've got to be either a very good dancer or very good entertainment to survive....and I guess she was just a little too average in both.

I agree with you mightyroar - Gavin, Felicity or Michelle to go next week. I'm torn though about Gavin. I want him to leave but want Katya to stay in >:D<

Anyway, roll on next week.

[mightyroar]

sad sad sad about Jimi!

should have been Michelle, or Ann.

I'm totally over Ann now, she is reactionary old tory and she'd had enough of our screen time!

[DJKillaQueen]

Ann is the equivalent of Wagner on the other side!

[Ridgley]

Sorry wrong thread

[DJKillaQueen]

What has this got to do with dancing? Or are you suggesting dancers should write the tunes they dance to lol.

[TonyQuinn]

I think Strictly Come Dancing has jumped the shark.

For all those out there who don't know what I'm talking about its a reference to an episode when the Fonz jumped the shark while waterskiing as I remember....it was something so ridiculous, the programme Happy Days lost its relevance or at least began to lose it. For Dallas, the equivalent moment was when Bobby stepped out of the shower a series after he died. For Eastenders, I think Dirty Den's return symbolized a moment when the programme makerse had lost their senses. For Brookside, my gosh any amount of moments could be presented as evidence.

This season marks that moment for Strictly Come Dancing. Ann Widdecombe's progress highlights the fact that the programme is not what it was when it began, it's morphed into something else.

[RosieH]

Who the fuck is voting for Gavin? Who likes that sulky, talentless, intellectually subnormal, orange gimp?

Whoever you are, come here while I beat some IQ points and / or taste in men into you.

[Ridgley]

I have to agree, with Rosie (td)

[shell_8]

Who likes that sulky, talentless, intellectually subnormal, orange gimp?

I went to school with Gavin. All of the above was equally true back then, apart from he hadn't yet discovered the 'joys' of being orange.....

[TillieTrotter]

Again Miss Rosy, I agree.

[Ann]

Well Gavin's still in. Dancing has improved but personality not.

Ann went out with dignity at last but showed good humour at least, there's no denying she has been a memorable part of this year's show.

Scott in the bottom two so obviously not down to dancing ability. Looking forward to the semi and the final. Can an older woman win for the first time?

[indiepanda]

Well, Scott only scored two more points than Gavin who was in the bottom two with Ann so I don't think it's THAT which is the main indication the public don't vote based on ability.

Taking ten weeks to get rid of Ann... now THAT is an indication people aren't voting on ability.

As for Scott, I think he's gone off the boil lately, and am getting a bit tired of his complaining he is tired working on east enders at the same time. He's not the only one doing two jobs - think Matt's been doing Countryfile the whole time.

[Ladygooner]

Not much male totty for the ladies to look at this season - can't think of one chest I want to see bared in the salsa!
