Strictly Come Dancing 2012 FAB-U-LOUS Thread number 2

[Sparklingbrook]

And so it continues.......

over the rainbow was the campest tv show ever it was hilarious Me and dds just used to watch it for the shoeless rejected dorthy's

off track but dd2 went to see the show on a school trip she said it was dire

I'm not watching it tonight. I have a date with dh.

Dd will catch me up tomorrow.

It's odd that hardly any of the partners are Brits (I don't know if they are anyway)

British Pro's:

Anton
Erin
Robin
James
Flavia (born in Italy but moved here as a child)

In addition, Vincent, Ola (obv) and Brendan live in the UK now. I think Artem and Kristina probably live here now too as they have British partners.

I think they all live here anyway apart from the American I think she is just here for the show like brian whatshisname the other year,

Erin's from New Zealand (well, I suppose she could be a British citizen, but not originally, so I'd put her in with Brendan, Vincent etc).

I'm trying to think where others have come from... Nicole Cutler was South African so was maybe one of the male pros in the first series, quite a few from Russia. Nobody from Holland/Germany/France as far as I can think of. In fact not many from Western Europe at all, except Camilla.

Aliona lives in LA
Natalie lives in Australi
Pasha lives in USA

I wonder what it's like on the versions in other countries? Do they all have such multicultural pros?

I'm avoiding doing the ironing before going out

I don't think Kristina used to live here but probably does now. I seem to remember when we looked around their homes on ITT she was either renting or sharing with somebody.

Wasn't their somebody on Dancing on Ice whose pro partner went and lived with them for a bit as they lived miles away?

Lilya Kopulova is Russian but lives in Sheffield with husband Darren.

Evening Fiderer! Wie gehts?

I thought Kristina was sharing her life with the Welsh boxer she was 'partnering'...

Joe Calzaghe? Yes, I think so. I remember when they came back for the final of whichever series that was she sat on his knee in Tess's area. That was the first time I realised they were going out.

Is Flavia still going out with Jimi?

Hail Hi Pan Mir geht's gut. Why are you "wrothy"? Did Aliona covet your "a"?

You're right. Wrath is much better.

Did we see on ITT when Louis' mum turned up for his training with Flavia. With a some food and a message

Didn't see that. What was the message? He's so talented but he seems so shy, did his mum tell him to get down and dirty? Obv not if he has to do a waltz or foxtrot

Message: "Sono numero uno, Senora, capiche?".

Here we go.

7 minutes in and bog all has happened.

Artem appears to have no top on.

Oh not topless. please..

Artem has no top on
< cue herd of MNers rushing to switch tv on>

Lionel Blair on the red button. Might give it a go.

I think Kimberley is flying.
