We've filled up one thread, let's see if we can get through another before the end of the series!

Are we pleased with Kara's selection?

Why aren't they doing the Argentine Tango - that was amazing?!

StoodAProleyCattleShed · 16/12/2010 19:48

Their American Smooth was my favourite dance of the series, so I'm happy. I just wonder if they'll alter the routine to meet Len's "60% in hold" criterion?

Kara said they'd picked it because it was their favourite routine. I thought they'd do their (ballroom) tango again tbh because she seemed to love doing that one.

fartmeistergeneral · 16/12/2010 20:10

Well, looks like Matt and Aliona are doing a variation on their cha cha with Aliona's costume being all plaid-ish. Not my favourite routine, but I guess it won't be true to the original and they can do whatever they want.

So nervous about Saturday, not sure I'll actually be able to watch!!!

StoodAProleyCattleShed · 16/12/2010 20:25

Yes I think you're right farty.

I'm intrigued by what Kara's leotard-with-epaulettes might signify Confused

SleepWhenImDead · 16/12/2010 20:26

Goodness I'm just getting sad that its going to be over after this weekend! We always watch ITT on iplayer at teatime (from the day before), it's become a routine! I'd love to see Pamela win but Kara would be a worthy winner too. I want to like Matt more but he doesn't feel the dance well enough.

StoodAProleyCattleShed · 16/12/2010 20:27

I know, when Claudia said that tomorrow's ITT is an hour special because it's the final show of the year I felt gutted! At least we have Christmas to distract us a bit though eh?

Oblomov · 16/12/2010 21:23

Gary Barlow sang the best I have ever seen him sing.
Am glad. Think the 3 people who should be in the final, are in the final.

Merryhohohomammoth · 16/12/2010 21:42

And what of the future... My friend reckons they should get rid of Brucie (weakest part of show)and ask Anton to do his job. I think that could work. What do you think?

StoodAProleyCattleShed · 16/12/2010 21:47

NOOOO! You can't get rid of Brucie! And no to Anton as the replacement - he's not as funny as he thinks he is Confused Shock

fartmeistergeneral · 16/12/2010 22:37

Much as I sit and cringe watching him, it just wouldn't be the same without him!

Oblomov · 16/12/2010 22:50

Brucie is awful.
But Anton ? Du BERK ? OH please. Thats would be even worse.

LoveTheCarbs · 17/12/2010 11:32

I think the best three have reached the final, although I wouldn't have minded if Scott had gotten through either. But he looks so worn out I think he's probably glad he can now get some rest and sleep.

I'm definitely in the Kara camp now. I think she dances beautifully and I love Artem's choreography. But why have they chosen the American Smooth when Len won't give them higher than 7 or 8 if Artem hasn't changed the choreography to having more hold in it? I'm really excited about their showdance!

I am still not a fan of Aliona's choreography. What was that awful salsa like at the weekend. I think she just went for the easy option because they had three dances to do. No doubt her showdance will be full of inappropriate lifts that don't fit in and that Matt struggles to do. Although I did enjoy their Viennese waltz and their latin number.

As for Pamela and James. Just not a huge fan of theirs even though they do put a lot of effort into their routines and I think she is really impressive aged 60 doing three or four dances in one night - I think I would struggle to do one! I do think they get overmarked. How on earth did they get a 40 last weekend and Kara and Artem didn't? I'm usually in agreement with Craig but I thought he was far too picky.

I think it's the best final for a while. Can't wait!

Oh, forgot to mention Brucie.. Really, I think it's time for him to go. Although I don't know who would replace him.. I am also not a huge fan of Anton's, but I think he would be better than Brucie..

goingroundthebend4 · 17/12/2010 15:54

Dd is firmly in the Matt camp,me I wobble between him and artem :) that accent.It's the second year she has watched it and would love to see it next year or if any tickets left to see live

Snowstorm · 17/12/2010 17:42

My DD's are supporting Kara, whereas I am supporting Artem Xmas Wink

CaveMum · 17/12/2010 18:37

So sad that we don't get an ITT on Monday night - I've never understood that.

I'm in the Kara and Artem camp but wouldn't be disappointed if Matt won.

Would anyway else love to see Karen on the judging panel instead of Alesha?

I do think that Alesha has improved this year but I think it would be fab to have a pro dancer on the panel and I love love love Karen Hardy!

StoodAProleyCattleShed · 17/12/2010 20:40

I'm indecently excited! Kara and Artem FTW!

WorldsSlowestTypist · 17/12/2010 20:41

Louis Spence would be fantastic!

TigersChick · 17/12/2010 20:41

Ipredict - I agree about Karen; she is a judge! It is her job! Why they didn't get her instead of Alesha, I'll never know.

ipredicttrouble · 17/12/2010 21:36

Tigers I just love hearing her talking about dancing.

Did anyone think Karen was referring to Aliona's weaker choreography on ITT this evening? When she said that choreography can make or break the final?

pinkteddy · 17/12/2010 23:43

Yes ipredict it was quite pointed I thought as she also mentioned both Artem and James's great choreography! I don't think anyone on this thread would disagree either!

MrsKitty · 18/12/2010 09:02

It's TONIGHT! {grin] So Excited Xmas Grin
