Strictly Come Dancing

[carrotsandpeasifyouplease]

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.

Spoilers for the elimination are out now on Digital Spy for those of us with no self-control/patience.

Yep, I have the same view of Michelle as DoNotFeedMeBiscuits has.

And now I'm trying desperately hard not to go onto the digital spy forum .

No, I'm being strong. I'm not going there. The results show is so rubbish now that I need to keep some suspense going to make it worthwhile!

Another one trying to be strong here.

I think part of the problem for Michelle is that she's American. I don't mean that to sound xenophobic, but having watched Dancing With The Stars on Watch it is clear that the American stars don't take critiscm well. For goodness sake, Len is considered the "mean" judge over there.

She needs to chill out and work on her weaknesses. She has a big problem with limb control. Brendan should be working on her foot pressure and keeping her shoulders down. Odds are, if she stays in, they'll be doing ballroom next week so her posture will play a big part.

I agree, TigerChick. I watch it on DelayTV as I pause it whenever we go off to put DS to bed. It's an absolute pain that I don't have time to see all the dances before the voting lines shut. I've not been able to vote so far and I may have to start voting just for my favourite person rather than the dance, especially if the good people start getting voted off. And I'm really not impressed with the lack of the dance-off. Why was it changed? If it's not broke, don't fix it! Unless it's Brucie, who is definitely broke and should be fixed!

As for last night's show, I enjoyed a fair few dances - Pamela, Matt, Steve, Kara for their obvious ability to dance. However for entertainment value, I really enjoyed Ola's routine for Paul and Anton did his best for Anne. But their height discrepancy adds to the discomfort of watching them dance. Gavin was awkward and I think is in trouble. Michelle, I love the dancing scarecrow comment - very apt. And did you see the pouting and folded arms when the scores came in with Tess and how uncomfortable Brendon looked! Not the way to win votes, young lady..

I think I will now have a peek at the Digital Spy Forum! I am weak..

Brendan had been given some very sad news before the show so that may explain his and Michelle's performance.

Pink Teddy, I've just seen the news too, More here

Michelle will be partnered by Ian until Brendan gets back.

Condolences to Brendan and his family.

I am a bad person, because although I am sorry for Brendan, my overwhelming emotion is IAN!!!

So sad for Brendan. Looking back he did seem a bit subdued last night.

I know - what a pro Brendan is to continue to perform. I didn't want to say about Ian earlier as I thought it could be a bit of a spoiler - but I am really delighted he is back too!

So sorry for Brendan, wish him and his family a speedy journey.
Only just realised that it's a spoiler ... Oh well.

It's Results Show time!

What IS going on with Claudia's eye make up? Is it halloween?

Whilst I loved the Pro Charleston, isn't that what the Dance Troupe are for?

Is Claudia pregnant? Agree the make up is ghastly!

WOW!

Can't say any more than that.

Go Flavia!

I'm thinking Gavin and Paul are the bottom two.

Flavia is fantastic!

Lucky girl, dancing with all those hot guys

Hope Michelle doesn't go out so we get a chance to see Iain

Does Peter Andre think he's Michael Jackson or something?

Thought visually that was quite good

Is that song about him and Katie? Some of the words were = glad to have you back. Thought I read somewhere that they had got back together
