New thread, mark your places for tonight's show

D word?

Did anyone see the judges on Graham Norton? (apologies if someone has said this already). Alesha was completely wasted! She is going to cringe when she watches that back. Well I hope she will anyway...

PS Avadvent I made the same error. I will PM you!

Wow yes thanks for reminding us about Alesha- those legs!!! !!

.....and I still miss Matt he was /is a sweetie anyone know what he's up to?

I know he makes guest appearances from time to time.

I LOVED Tom & Camilla, don't know why.

This has set me off playing all the old you-tube clips!

Aries - she was On Alan Carr not Graham Norton. Thought she was great.

Nooooooooooooooooooo who brought up that subject?

[still bitter after all these years]

Will have to watch to set my day of right now

Did Mark Ramprakash and Karen Hardy win their series of SCD? Just watched their showdance (you lot got me on to the YouTube clips when I should be doing other stuff) and that first lift was AMAZING ...

I thought they did? DH still raves about Mark R's Argentinian Tango (man crush, anyone? ) I came downstairs having fed DD to find him and his mate writing down the phone number so they could both vote They are both Alpha male military officers.....but that night they were all about the dancing, daaarrling!

Yes, Mark and Karen won.

Yup Mark and Karen definitely won.

Their Argentine Tango was the best AT ever danced on the show (excluding Vincent & Flavia obv), and I'd rank it as one of the best dances full stop, alongside Jill Halfpenny's Jive.

Both still send shivers down my spine

Meant Alan Carr - sorry. Yes she was great. Yes she was extremely pissed.

Ah, thanks. He did seem like a really nice man (from the clips I saw).

I just saw that Cbeebies is doing "Strictly Cinderella" as Panto this year. I can't believe I'm excited about this!

You'll probably need to go away and name-change now!!!!

I must be in the minority in that I really didn't like Jill's Jive?

Also was just watching Chris and Ola's showdance - don't recall it being as bad as that!!

Just watched Julian's showdance from that link. Bless him, he really couldn't dance for toffee could he.

I saw Julian in the tour - he was HILARIOUS. He did a bit of dancing and a lot of daft moves, to great effect!

I've just been reading Monkseal's blog, and this made me laugh so much.

Definition of a showdance

"If you?re in Series 1 to 4 and you?re not partnered with Erin, then?shrug. If you ARE partnered with Erin, it involves either a Naval Uniform or dummies and it is either amazing or awful. There is no inbetween. If you?re in Series 5, it?s either an 80s soft-rock anthem paso-fest that prompts Arlene to give you a Standing Novation, or it?s a gynaecological exercise where you jam your fingers in your partners vajayjay, and then use it as a cage for your head. In Series 6, it?s either the most boring thing ever created, or it?s the most amazing thing ever created, or it?s the most AMAZING thing ever created. Series 7 you?re either in a swimming cossie being lifted on somebody?s neck, or you?re doing a handstand with a tiny little Polish woman screaming ?MASHED POTATOES!? through your legs."

The lovely Pasha was on ITT tonight, and he demonstrated a loving look at Chelsee

Both Harry/Aliona and Chelsee/Pasha looked pretty good in rehearsal. I can't wait.

Think Alex and Jason will be saying goodbye this weekend.

Did I mention that I love Pasha

Me too AmIthatbad - they are so sweet together! I also like Harry and Aliona - they also have lots of fun. Unlike Jason and Kristina.

Artem was more relaxed on ITT than usual - cos he was with James not Holly!

Thought the botafoga challenge was a great idea.

AmIthatbad - I hope you are wrong, actually. I would love to see a Chelsee/Harry/Jason final, and I think I prefer Chelsee to win at the moment. Mostly because she just seems a sweetie and so enthusiastic, whilst they men love themselves rather too much....

yup i had a catch up session , todat and ekk with final being on 17th .I am actually not moving out that day lol everything will just about be in the new house .

Bar my tv , couple mattress (ds1 and ds2 as well but they are teens so there enjoy camping out and having on more night with the internet and a kettle

even better ds3 and dd are at friends for that weekend so it be a take away and a do not disturb sign on the door

First time for a couple of years that I don't have a night out planned for the final. YAY I might have to ship DH and DCs off to a B&B for the evening so I can enjoy it in peace.

Hoping for a Harry/Chelsee/Jason final. Think Harry will win although I'm a little nervous about the showdance. I don't think Aliona will be able to resist putting in something wierd crap.

Do you remember Matt's?
