Strictly Come Dancing 2012 Thread 4. Sparkly and shiny and MAHR-VO-LOUS!

[AndiMac]

Just starting a new thread before tonight's elimination, as I'm sure we'll all have something to say about that.

Anyone else doing Strictly Takes Two?

I always record ITT as 6:30 is too busy around here to watch TV. Will catch it later.

ppeat.
Agree, and the camera angles are awful during the whole programme of the dances. Sometimes the couple disappear entirely off camera - scenery/props in the way, bodies cut in half, feet cut off. Sounds like circus acts !!

Nickie's kids are gorgeous. He still hasn't glanced at Karen ????

Craig agrees with me - DVO did not WOW us. Hence no 10.

Nicky's kids are beautiful, are some twins?
I wonder why he doesn't look at Karen?

I thought only the twins were Nicky's?

No idea - 3 little boys rushed to him and rough and tumbled with him and then 2 little girls appeared excitedly. I did think 5 small kids was a lot.

The others were nieces and nephews I think. I don't know which combination of boys or girls belong to Nicky though.

I'm sure he said his children, plus nieces and nephews

He has 2 twin boys as far as I know - not that I am a Westlife fan or anything They were the 2 oldest ones on either side on Saturday night I assume.

Just watched Nicole's Rumba to Lady in Red - that is WOW - perfectly expressed with her whole body - as good as the profis IMO. Trained and talented

It is good isn't it

Wow I just watched that now- what an amazing hold to end on! She is a fabulous dancer. Lucky Lewis eh?!

I just started watching the show this year and loving it.

Think Flavia is amazing and Dani rocks.

Cannot stand Captain-Narciso Nicky

Question for all you veterans: what's up with the crap camera work? I feel I have to work hard to catch glimpses of the dancers! Is it always like this?

Always been dodgy, but this year it is not only the camera angles but the music has been boring, except for "Bust Your Windows" sultry tango, which I love. - Natalie and Michael danced to it last Sat., at least Natalie did as didn't watch Michael.

Is the a geeky list anywhere of what dances are left for each?

Vincent & Flavia said they are both saving the Argentinian tango for the final ( worth voting both there for that!) but was wondering what others have left.

Ref. camera angles and crap lighting etc. I wonder why no one of the crew actually looks at 'normal' sized telly to see what their effects look like. Maybe they look better on a hooge telly ANYONE has one??

Oh thanksToomuchtea Do you reckon they're worth having ?'Cos DH wants to spend some of our hard earned cash on one after Xmas Interesting that SCD doesn't look better on them .

Finally caught up so may I join in with the general camera angle grumping?

You're right Toomuch and the OTT lighting does NOT help

littlemiss we're always pleased to welcome a grump As long as it's constructive of course (she said hoisting her bosom and looking over her glasses)

My constructive advice is that they hire my nine year old as a camera wrangler, she's not bad:o

She was unsurprised at the vote this week, but is dismissive of the DvO love. She's all about Dani and Louis:)

I wish the cameras would show more of the dancers.
