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.

Ah Rumba will be the latin next week - the celeb men could be in trouble but at least the moves are the same as in the Cha Cha (which some of them will have already done), just a slower rhythm.

I'm sorry for Kristina as well, she's such a fabulous dancer. Agree it's better without Bruce. Didn't know there was an X Factor thread Chicken might come and have a nose Grin

See you next week everyone!

fannybaws · 10/10/2010 20:00

Christina was crying there bless

potplant · 10/10/2010 20:01

TPT - I'm not sure there's a lot of men into SCD Grin.

Surprised it was Goldie tho. He was nowhere near the worst

fannybaws · 10/10/2010 20:03

Oh well am off to the X factor now, all about the quality me! Smile

silkymitts · 10/10/2010 23:24

I am so glad Ann stayed in!!!!!!!!!!!

Why didn't they pair her with somebody shorter.

I bet poor Kristina is thinking first it was John Sargent and now I am booted off first because Goldie has no fans to save him!

I would like less of the big breasted bleached blonde types adorning the screen though.
Miss Matthew, Ian and Brian.

I think that the kind of person who votes doesn't really like/know/get Goldie enough, perhaps? i.e. young girls too young to know of him in his actual celeb DJ guise, or perhaps mums (unlike us lot) who don't know of him in that guise either. I think you are voting because you like the person as much as for their dancing, and it helps if you know who they are! I can't talk though, I don't know who any soap stars are, and I never vote anyway. Love, love, love it though!

I want both of Felicity's dresses so far but I think the pros and Kara should put their cleavages away. [cat's bum face]

Roll on next week!

crazybutterflylady · 13/10/2010 12:02

Hmmm is it just me or are the judges being a bit weird this year with scoring?? I got really annoyed last week and this weekend for Felicity. I think they are so harsh on her.

Now I know Patsy was lacking in confidence etc and her performance was improved but her salsa was shocking IMO... straight, bandy legs with no finesse, just confidence and a big smile... and she got a much higher score. It vexed me!!

I was upset Goldie left but I do think he didn't take it seriously enough and it goes to show the level of dedication needed to succeed. Really feel for Kristina though, poor thing! She gets given some right plonkers Hmm

mammamia25 · 13/10/2010 14:29

I agree about the scoring being really inconsistent. In week 1 Len gave Felicity the same score as Paul Confused, I'd have been well p**d off if I was her. Last week Len and Alisha both gave Ann 4 for not dancing a step! And yes, I thought Patsy was nowhere near as good as they scored her.

crazybutterflylady · 14/10/2010 14:49

Ooh, according to this Tina has chickenpox so won't be dancing this week.

I guess she wouldn't have been in the bottom 2 anyway...

Marking my place for this evening. Love the Rumba!

Hopingh they use some good music this week - Quickstep doesn't feel right when it is danced to "modern" music. Give me a bit of big band swing any day!

mummychicken · 16/10/2010 17:59

On sofa waiting for the ta-da-da-da's to start!!

HRHCavey · 16/10/2010 18:12

Kara - hated the music (not appropriate) and thought there was a lot of faffing about at the start!

Well danced though. Should get 8s.

mummychicken · 16/10/2010 18:14

agree the music wasn't right - also hate the audience clapping but that is hardly their fault

GeorgetteHeyer · 16/10/2010 18:18

Evening all!

Blimey - I'm not as supple as Feliicity at half her age!

Don't think much of Bruce this week...

Ariesgirl · 16/10/2010 18:19

Hated the music of Kara's routine and not enough of the gallopy stuff I love in the quickstep (I am an expert you know)

Can't believe how HOT Felicity Kendall is at 63. She's the same age as my mum!

HRHCavey · 16/10/2010 18:20

Felicity's very bendy! nice choice of music too.

Not many Rumba steps going on though, and she lacks foot pressure.

HRHCavey · 16/10/2010 18:20

Soory, hit post before I had finished! Definitely her best dance so far.

GeorgetteHeyer · 16/10/2010 18:24

I do hope Patsy picks her feet up this week...and puts as much energy into the quickstep as last week, I really think she coud be fantastic.

HRHCavey · 16/10/2010 18:27

Patsy's timing was a bit off at the start. Quite a lot of gapping between her and Robin and she looked half a stride behind him on some of the steps.
A good attempt though and swhe looks so much more confident!

HRHCavey · 16/10/2010 18:29

My typing is awful tonight! Apologies!

Ariesgirl · 16/10/2010 18:32

I don't think I can watch Paul Daniels doing a rumba :(

HRHCavey · 16/10/2010 18:33

[waves] @ Aries - fancy seeing you here!

Agred, Paul Daniels and Rumba could be a "watch behind a cushion" moment!
