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.

I do laugh an enormous amount at ITT. Ny Strictly experience wouldn't be complete without it. I love some of the VTs as well, the one with Tina and the bananas had me in stitches. I also loved the one last year of Vincent doing his 'Italian/English lessons' with Natalie, I nearly peed my pants! Have been searching for it on YouTube but to no avail. Wish I'd bookmarked it, so good for a laugh!

Len and Claudia dancing together always does it for me!!

So who do we think will go tomorrow??

I think Felicity, Gavin & Michelle are all in danger. Ann should be but I think she's got another week in her.

Did you hear that Ann's odds of winning have been slashed from 100-1 to 9-1 - biggest ever change of odds in reality tv history

I actually hope Gavin does go, he's not going to get much better and he won't be happy with middle-of-the-table as he wants to be great.

Personally, I want Felicity to go. She doesn't do much for me, I find her dances rather boring!

Felicity is boring, boring, boring. Hope she goes this week, unless Michelle reverts back to being really awful again, in which case she can go instead.

Morning all, I am out at a birthday bash tonight so won't be in to see SCD (boo!).

I'll try to catch up before the results show and post my thoughts then.

For the record, I agree that there are too many dances at the moment. By rights they have enough dances to get through the first 7 weeks with only two dances (Ballroom: waltz, tango, viennese waltz, quickstep, foxtrot, American smooth, Argentine tango; Latin: cha cha cha, rumba, paso, jive, samba, salsa, charleston (not really latin but you get the point).

I think the Argentine Tango and American Smooth should always be left till towards the end of the series as they look so much better when they have more experience.

I'm surprised that the samba hasn't been out so far, but perhaps because the different rhythms are so challenging they are hanging fire. I do love the samba and if you get the right piece of music it really gets you in the mood! My favourite piece to dance samba to is Black Eyed Peas version of Mas Que Nada, which you can hear

Enjoy the show everyone!

Fantastic Salsa from Kara

What was the mistake they are talking about?

Are the people who said Gavin was doomed eating their words rights now? I actually threw him a vote this week (to be fair I am welsh, so heavily biassed). Shock eviction for sure this week, we're running out of bad dancers.

yh they all did well tonite

gav always been my fave glad he did so well tonite

love jimi and kara too

Wow Gavin was actually quite good. Scott wasn't too good but then I don't really like the rumba. Don't think many of them do a good job if it.

I've had enough of Ann now. She wasn't funny talking over Craig, just rude. Wish you could vote to get rid.

I'm on Sky+ so a bit behind.

Loved Matt's dance :)

Agree potplant, think it is time Ann left. Gavin is usually my least fav (as he as no charisma whatsoever) but he was actually quite good tonight. Still love Matt though I didn't like all that business on the swing; just dance!

Didn't enjoy tonight as much as last week. Ann was awful. She doesn't even look as if she is trying! Can you believe she is apparently younger than Felicity . The joke has started to wear a bit thin now.

Gavin massively improved tonight although I thought Katya's outfit was really cringey. Felicity and maybe Patsy in danger tonight?

Loved Gavin tonight .

Think it might be Felicity & Michelle in the bottom 2 tomorrow. Michelle, though much improved, is still not very enjoyable to watch, and Felicity has reached her peak, I think.

Ann really needs to go now - entertaining, yes, but only so many times. I really don't like the way she talks over the judges either.

Matt is still my favourite, but I feel like his dances have been a bit 'meh' over the last couple of weeks - Hopefully they'll pick up again soon.

I loved Matt's Charleston and agree he hasn't done anything in the past two weeks that has been as enjoyable as that.

I?m here and I?ve just finished watching SCD. My thoughts:

Kara ? up there with Mark Ramprakash as one of the best salsas they?ve had on the show. Some of those lifts were amazing (though not really salsa, but we?ll let them off!).

Pamela ? lovely Foxtrot, lots of elegance, shame about the small stumble.

Felicity ? fairly good Paso, I agree with Bruno that her flamenco hands lost it at times. I thought she lacked aggression at times, but the music didn?t really lend itself to real attack.

Jimi ? I thought the Quickstep really suited his personality. I didn?t think it was heavy, but he did look a little flat footed at times. If he pointed his toes a little more it would really help.

Matt ? Have to say once again I didn?t like the choreography ? a lot of faffing about. There is something about the way that he holds his left arm that doesn?t look comfortable. It was good, but not as good as Scott?s last week.

Ann ? well, it is supposed to be a comedy dance! Bless her she looked as though she was enjoying herself but, to channel Craig, OMG they have the Samba next week!

Michelle ? nice to see her back in hold. She looked so much more relaxed than in past weeks and Brendan has FINALLY got her shoulders down! Still a few little unsteady moments but I?d say her best ballroom dance so far.

Patsy ? seemed a bit laboured and really lacked foot pressure. At times she seemed a little out of control but she threw herself into it and gave it some welly! I don?t think the colour of the costume suited her, but that?s not dance related!

Scott ? rumba is so hard for the celeb men. I think he did a good job, though there were some weak moments particularly with his arms. Not his best dance but I can?t actually believe that Craig gave it a 4! He?s in a foul mood tonight!

Gavin ? well getting back on the rugby pitch has done wonders for his confidence. He actually looked like he enjoyed himself. Granted there wasn?t a whole lot of cha cha cha going on but could this be his breakthrough dance?!

It is very hard to tell who will go tonight. There are several in a very dangerous position.

Looking forward to the results tonight!

I think Aliona is not the best choreographer and perhaps thats why Matt's dances can sometimes seem abit "meh". I love Natalies dances so Scott a firm fave here, although I did really like Gavin last night.

I think Ann needs to go now or Felicity - the better/more improved/improving dancers need the limelight now.

Will Widdy do the decent thing and go of her own accord if she isn't voted off soon??

Hmmmmm, looking on DigitalSpy but can't see any news about who is voted off tonight! I never watch the results show, just the dancing on Sat night!

michelle, felicity or pamela will be in danger tonight i reckon - they just prob don't have enough people voting for them

oxocube its on there under spoiler thread. Its quite long as people log on during the show and the result doesn't come through until 10:15 ish.

Please don't post the spoiler on this thread Even with the spoiler warning I could still see who went last week and I was trying to avoid it.
