Strictly Come Dancing 2011 (2) - and the beat goes on....

[Pan]

There. Take you partners.......

SC - yes, he's lost any competitive edge.

OK. Last looks in the mirror. Breathe. Calm the nerves...and......

Hmm, did they not have time to finish doing Tess' hair

Tess' stylist must really hate her to put her in a white bra under that dress.

I'm just popping on to say that I had a weird realisation this week that I have a HUGE crush on Pasha.

So I'm off to dribble and ogle

It's shocking to think that they actually have a script and still spout that stumbling, bumbling tripe.

tess's dress goes in the 'could have tried harder' pile.

white bra - any one in style and beauty would have said NO

and the silly belt.

I have a suspicion that Jennifer is going to over mark everyone tonight. Americans don't do criticism!

Incisive technical commentary from Jennifer there Do you think it's a ploy to make us hate Len / Alesha less? (I really like Alesha actually but lots of people criticise her for not being technical)

And Bloody Lulu did the Bloody Shout thing.

I'm not keen on Holly Valance. To me she comes across as snooty and vacuous. Perhaps I'm being mean...

Audley seemed quite flat footed to me and the steps were very hesitant.

Jennifer is, as DH likes to put it, blowing smoke up everyone's ass.

Did they only give her an 8?!

Tess is starting to look quite scrawny. She looks a bit lollypop head tonight and dare i say it she looks a bit cheap.

Oh Jenny, Jenny, Jenny.........Why??

Sorry but that was just the Aliona Show. Once again she had him standing there while she faffed about.

I thought his volta's were a bit skippy too.

Yes, because standing ovation mean sooo much this year...

Does Tess not have a mirror in her dressing room?

but what faffing....

Bring back Len! Or anyone!

This woamn is overawed by 'celebrity' - what a stupid mark for Lulu.

why didn't he get some more steps? i'd rather see him doing steps badly, than feel he wasn't being given anything to try to do.

Jennifer has given herself nowhere to go. Having marked 2 of the least able dancers do highly, she has no choice but to hand out 9s and 10s to the rest of them.

Anita always looks like she is having a great time, have I missed Jason? Missed the beginning.

Thought Jason was ok, but it felt forced. However, Aliona - take note. That is how to choreograph for a male celeb.

Re: Lulu. And she didn't even do the Shout thing particularly well.

oh, Jason, Jason, Jason........please change the record...

Nice dress and music. I approve
