Strictly Come Dancing 2012 Thread 3. Keep on Dancing.......

[Sparklingbrook]

Sparkly new thread.....

yy talking the showgirls bit sucked. whose idea was that?

dementedma - reckon you're right. He was as high as a kite in the dance, blubbing and then his eyes were disappeared elsewhere in Claudia's nest. He had noo idea where he was.

pain relief drugs? cocodamol fairly spacey.

He looked pissed from when Claudia and Tess came down the stairs, was doing a lot of arsing about in the background during the interviews, and seemed absolutely out of it during the judges comments.I love robin. Hope he gets his shit back together

What is it with Nicky? he never acknowledges his partner at all, most celebs say thanks at some point to the professionals either by the judges or up stairs with Tess or Claudia but you would think he made up all the dances alone, if he was chocolate he really would eat himself. Thought fern better tonight in fact they were all really good not a huge dvo fan but loved their dance but come on Louis your dancing with Flavia fgs, put a bit of emotion in, does he still think its zombie week?

I love Claudia she is so funny.

can some one please explain why Craig seems to hate Louis

My not so humble opinions of non-dancing Strictly things.

• I'm starting to go off Dani a bit. She talks animatedly and hasn't frozen her face yet like DVO, but she never has much interesting to say and doesn't really seem that committed. She's pretty good, but she's come through stage school as well, so one would expect so. A good dancer, but a bit blah.
• Here's another that didn't miss Bruce. In fact, it was the first time watching the recording that I didn't fast-forward through the bit up top waiting for the scores and the intro of the couple.
• Claudia is much more natural with the couples, along with naturally funny, but I could see finding her irritating after a few weeks if she didn't occasionally rein it in. But I thought Tess was good at introducing the couples and taking them off the dance floor without condescending to them or being creepy. And not trying to make everyone laugh at some horrible joke she wrote that she can't even read properly off the auto-cue.
• I'm sure Brendan and Robin both falling were accidents, but first James and now them. All you Ian fans still might have a chance if they keep it up!
• Even as much as I like them, perhaps 3 weeks in a row is a bit much to see Artem's abs?
• Fabulous dress on Victoria and I agree with MN HQ, fabulous necklace on Darcey!

For dancing things:

• Richard wasn't that great, but nice to see he enjoyed the charleston. His time is coming.
• Michael is so not a Latin dancer.
• Victoria is getting better, but agree she still looks a bit deer in the headlights and that Brendan is really pulling her around. I think she'll flip out at Wembley, assuming she gets there.
• I really loved the emotion in Kimberly and Pascha's dance. I'd turn to mush if he looked at me like that!

I liked Richard's poor me face at the camera.

Victoria was very graceful - liked her very much.

Missed the first dance - Denise Denise. Distracted by an Am I Being Unreasonable thread.

Spoiler on DS.

I could not see Louis's footwork or from waist down too often due to stupid camera angles again, but that applies to many of the dances. I thought 6 was ridiculous compared with the some very high marks for others. I just thought DVO's face was like that due to make up and being told she is the bull and must look aggressive. Paso is my favourite latin dance- once got a medal for mine, years ago !

just watched this morning what did I do before sky plus I actually liked DVO dance I know i know I thought Lisa and robin were brilliant (poor Robin slipping though) and well done Richard and Erin id like to see them go to wembly (spelling) . and him from westlife just gets on my wick he is so bland and I dont think i have heard his partner speak i cant even remember her name,

Tess and Clauidia did a great job I realy think brucie is past his best ,

When do they go to Wembley this series? No-one's mentioned it.

I know they wanted to up their game competing with Xfactor etc but I really miss when they go to Blackpool I know it was cheesey but It seemed to be what they aimed for to dance in the tower ballroom

It's next week!

It's Wembley next week. I thought they mentioned it with nearly every couple?

Are they not going to Blackpool then? :(

No they go to Wembley it started last year big stage show It was ok but not the same

Thanks MrsJay. I always thought Blackpool was the pinnacle. Wembley just doesn't seem the same somehow.

I think the series ends in B/pool. Unless I have dreamed this. B/pool is still being visited at some stage.

sorry top be a bore but busy thread.
so why does Craig hate Louis.
he was really mean to him, but nice to worst dancers

I thought they weren't going to Blackpool at all this year?

Found this from the telegraph.....

I thought Craig was mean to Louis again this week - second week running that he marked him loads lower than the other judges.

No idea why though

so why does Craig hate Louis.

I don't know he is just mean and not in the booo craig is a baddie way, I think he expects more of him or 'something' and he isn't delivering

Especially because overall Craig seemed quite positive last night. Lots of minor criticism followed by 'but overall I liked it' for the other dancers.

Could understand it if he was being more critical of Louis because he is so good so expectations are higher (or he's picking up things he wouldn't expect of others) BUT then his marks would still be quite high and for two weeks he's marked him REALLY low

I think that Craig has actually been told to mark Louis down to create controversy and ensure he stays in the public eye and gets plenty of votes.
