Starts on Saturday!!
I can't find any contestant rumours other than Goldie, does anyone know of any?
Is Alesha back? can only find articles about her not signed contract yet.
No results show apparantly and new format for voting, can't wait - Winter is here.

I thought Kara's was beautiful - as effortless as the foxtrot is meant to look.

HRHCavey · 09/10/2010 19:22

I do love Katya. She was gorgeous in Take The Lead dancing with Antonio Banderas.

If you haven't seen it, you MUST watch - hottest Tango EVER!

Back to the salsa - AWFUL music choice and he is very nervous, but there are flashes of potential.

GeorgetteHeyer · 09/10/2010 19:24

I suspect that Gavin might get there - give him some time

sailorsgal · 09/10/2010 19:27

Kara was great, she is one of my favourite.

Gavin's dance was a bit laboured. I hate all that chest bearing as lovely as his is.

HRHCavey · 09/10/2010 19:29

What is with the Foxtrot-Tango hybrids this week?

GeorgetteHeyer · 09/10/2010 19:30

Maybe they can't foxtrot...it is difficult (says she on the strength of 5 lessons!)

I really enjoyed Jimmy's performance.

And Flavia is amazing. Such timing.

sailorsgal · 09/10/2010 19:31

If Gavin had danced to a slow salsa track it wouldn't have been so bad.

That tango HRH linked to was amazing.

forehead · 09/10/2010 19:35

Thank for te link HRK

GeorgetteHeyer · 09/10/2010 19:40

See you next week folks!

HRHCavey · 09/10/2010 19:41

It took me ages last year to figure out where I had seen Katya before! She's been in a few dance films, I think she might have also been in Shall We Dance with Richard Gere and JLO.

That film also has a very hot Tango scene, using my favourite piece of Tango music.

I think both films use music from the same band - Gotan Project, they perform tango music but with a electro edge.

sailorsgal · 09/10/2010 19:53

HRH I love that tango track too.

essenceofSES · 09/10/2010 20:59

Well I've finally caught up...

Kara and Artem was the dance of the night!
Also liked Matt, Pamela, Patsy and Jimi

Anton did so well with Ann. There was obviously something that went wrong and he had to make it up on the spot. She has a fantastic attitude - I get the impression that she's trying to do well but not taking it too seriously.

Also still unsure on the music this series. The band just don't seem quite as good this year.

Truffkin · 09/10/2010 23:11

Haven't read all the posts as I'm watching on Sky+ so am going to post my thoughts and then read back:

Matt: really liked this, quite Tangoey though, rather thank Fox Trot

Peter: just cringeworthy, poor Paul he just looked embarrassing

Tina: more traditional Fox Trot and she looked great, still looks a little unsteady especially after that spin!

Patsy: much better than last week and she looked awesome, not much salsa going on though

Paul: actually not as bad as I thought! Ballroom suits him more but I wish he'd try harder! Love Ola loads.

Scott: hot, hot, hot! Lots of salsa going on but with a twist and he has got some great hip movement going on there. Bit of a dark horse.

Michelle: I'm really not a fan. She looked hunched and has no balance at all. Just can't take to her at all.

Goldie: better than I expected (and I do love Kristina) and great character but quite stiff and flat footed

Pamela: proper salsa!!!! Shame they've made her look so awful with that hair but a good routine and she is amazing for her age. I heart her and James.

Oh Felicity looks amazing and I love this song! Unfortunately I thought it was a bit boring. She looked like she was just walking around.

Ann: simply hilarious. Clearly no dancing there but I actually quite enjoyed the comedy routine!

Kara: beautiful, absolutely loved it. She is so elegant (and might we have an off the floor romance here?)

Gavin: bless him, he looked so uncomfortable with the sexiness of the salsa. Am hoping he can be someone who can come out of his shell as the series moves on.

Jimi: I quite liked that actually. Very atmospheric, dramatic and sexy, so different from last week.

This series is going to be great! I think Peter should be going home if it's based on the mixture of dancing and entertainment.

potplant · 09/10/2010 23:26

I think Matt, Scott (swoon!), Kara and Pamela are the best. Felicity looked stunning, that dress was fab.

Ann and Anton are great. Especially love him counting for her and giving her instructions all the way through.

I hope Jimi gets better cos Flavia is my girl crush.

runnyhabbit · 10/10/2010 09:04

I think Matt is very good, but Scott - WOWGrin

Did feel embarrassed for Gavin, bkess him. But agree that there is potential there.

The thing with being fantstic right at the very beginning is that they will have to work harder to stay at the top, iyswim. I (sometimes) find it a bit boring when the stars are that good from the beginning. Whereas I look forward to watching the others more (Gavin, Patsy etc) to see how much they've improved. Or notGrin

Truffkin · 10/10/2010 19:31

Anyone watching the results show? Predictions? Thoughts on no dance off?

fannybaws · 10/10/2010 19:34

Oh I am think Michelle might go as has no home support, Claudia looks a bit odd??

mummychicken · 10/10/2010 19:35

Truffkin I'm here with you!

No dance off could throw up some interesting results ie really good dancers going early. In fact, exactly what happened for them to introduce in the first place!

phipps · 10/10/2010 19:37

I'm watching it too.

fannybaws · 10/10/2010 19:39

I was wrong then!!

fannybaws · 10/10/2010 19:39

Love Pamela she has the most brilliant attitude

fannybaws - perhaps it was Brendans supporters who kept theem in

fannybaws · 10/10/2010 19:42

Ah yes you are right I always forget people vote for the professionals

Truffkin · 10/10/2010 19:44

Think you might be right about Brendan's supporters, I can't see how anyone can like Michelle! I thought Peter might go but harsh they're making the other half wait for the rest of the results!

Loved the pro's performance (although can't get used to Darren without Lilya)

Agree Claudia's choice of dress is odd.
