New thread, mark your places for tonight's show

Harry photoshoot

Honestly megcleary I feel that's completely uncalled for, objectifying that nice young man like that.

Thats some very interesting background research to help me fully appreciate his dancing style.

The right result tonight, Russell's had his moment. although after reading the spoiler here I was expecting it to be Holly!

could the people who were there last night clarify the order of events? does the sunday show follow the saturday show? why can't the pros get their make-up off if so?

I hope Anita enjoys this coming week.

( and thanks Fiderer for this name-prompt.)

oh, and i thought the harry/aliona twirl/lift was horrific, in fact i personally thought he'd tried and failed to so something else, but no one mentioned it so i guess not.

The one where she flopped around in his arms like a fish out of water Aitch?

blerk, yes. TWICE.

Aitch - that pales when watching Flavia's legs being opened and closed upside down. One of my eyebrows went ^. Which is saying a lot.

lol, yes. well at least he didn't play her like a pair of fucking bongos this week.

i love flavia... that completely loveable mix of beauty and goofiness in one face. so attractive.

And her dimples!

I know, back, bum and boobs, must be some sort of record...

Flavia is utterly delectable. I just wish she wouldn't shag all of her partners. Am expecting a Dail Mail head line next week....

oh yes, the dimples. and the estuary/italian english. she is a dream women imo.

Flavia is my girl crush, she's lovely. Mind you she does seem to 'overlap' her men slightly.
Is she still with Jimi? He's lush.

The right person went but was getting very jittery that poor old Jason would be in the bottom two.. phew! Was still quite to see Holly and Artem though but am hoping that now they can get some training in and wow us next weekend!

Glad to see earlier in the thread that it's not just me who doesn't 'get' Harry - very pretty but just a bit dull!

but the problem flavia faces, surely, is that anyone (with poss exclusion of Russell) spending three months in close quarters with her is bound to fall hopelessly in love? what IS a girl to do?

actually re harry, i thought his acting performance in their when harry met salsa skit was really good. excellent timing, really. wonder if he'll go in that direction?

Too true Aitch, I love her and I've never met her. And I'm married to a bloke.

Yes, I'm in love with Flavia too.

i would have an affair with Aliona but would marry Flav. (until next SCD when she would obv leave me).

ah, you see I would have an affair with Flavia ( behind Aliona's back, but deny it), but def. marry Lilya Kopulova, and have lots of dancing children with her.

lilya had that same bonkers accent/funny face thing that Flav has going on. technically, ola has same but she doth not float my boat.

To finish the fantasy, I'd be best friends with Artem, so we could have lots of nights out in St Petersburg with lots of vodka-and-balalyka fuelled entertainment, and he could tell me exactly what Lillya is shouting at me. For shouting will be involved. Not sure why, tho'

Nice name, Pan

Russell would possibly have stayed in longer if he'd done more dancing and not highlighted the goofy antics. Will miss Flavia though.

I hope that with the semi-finals coming up and the judges commenting more on the technical aspects of the dances, we'll see more of the training and fewer daft VTs.

Did Len really say that about Aliona? Am not stirring ('onest Pan guv) just think it would have been very unprofessional of him. Is he in one of his grumpy jet-lagged moods?

I thought Len was talking to Harry but was being sarcastic, because Harry's obv a sweet lad,IYSWIM.

Aliona really ought to be careful, Len is well connected enough within the dance world that her life could be made very awkward after Strictly if she decided to settle in the UK to teach/train. I'm not saying Len would do anything, but he is highly respected and treating him with disdain won't do her any favours.
