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.

[digerd]

It'll make the final more interesting and longer.

[LadyIsabellaWrotham]

Honestly, how am I meant to dictate the course of events definitely if they keep changing their bloody rules? I'm going to have to unpack my gavel and redo my spreadsheet.

Five of the six dances for Saturday look very nice indeed at this distance. I think Karen will do a cracking samboxtrot for Nicky, Dani will do a predictably good Charleston, Kimberley and Denise will be flawless and Louis might do the best male Rumba since Colin wozrobbed Jackson; he's got perfect control of his limbs in slow and I think he might produce something a bit special.

[digerd]

Louis did look good, especially his use of arms, and his hip movement.
Wasn't one doing the american smooth? Everything went so fast tonight, I couldn't remember the other 2, and eating my dinner too !!

[frankinsensible]

digerd you said something about Karen having a rant to you? Or am I having a funny turn...

Excellent news about the final if true.

[digerd]

Frank - that was my sister, who is a ballroom/latin teacher and very strict/critical. Her rant about Len was about a previous SCD series. She was attending some kind of teach-in thingy and Len was there. I think it was 2 years ago, Sorry if I was confusing - do ramble on a bit, and sometimes get things wrong as well !! Re Lisa and Danni < red cheeked face>

[frankinsensible]

Whereas I'm always perfect

You sound a talented bunch in your family!

[digerd]

Franklin
Thank you. My brother is a highly intelligent Physics and Applied Mathmatics Honours degree holder and worked on missile engines . But we are all now getting on bit < grumpy old woman face>

[digerd]

ps My brother designed missile engines < proud face>. Do remember when I was 16 and he 18, that we went ballroom dancing once, and danced together. The teacher rushed over to us and wanted us to do competitions as we were so talented. But my brother had no desire and I was into ballet. Long term memory still very good - it's the short term that a bit dodgy !!

[AndiMac]

LadyIsabella I laughed out loud at the thought of your spreadsheets and redoing them. I look forward to the newest gavelled proclamation.

[frankinsensible]

A ballroom dancing missile engineer - can't be too many of those I'd wager!

So Nicky goes this weekend, Kimberley week after then Louis, Lisa, Dani and Denise all in the final show...very exciting!

[LetUsPrey]

Watching ITT.

My dance partner, Ian Waite. In uniform. Dancing a jive. Love it.

Not sure what's going on with Robin this series. He's seemed not quite Robin is the best I can explain it, ie badly.

[MunchkinsMumof2]

No, it should be Kimberley, louis, Denise and Dani in the final, Lisa's reached her limit imo

[TheOneWithTheHair]

4in the final?

Hopefully it will be Dani, Louis, Kimberly and Denise. Denise out first and Dani to win.

[digerd]

Yes. Franki and dad was a rugby player !!!!!!

Your prediction is probably right, considering Lisa 's fans. But I would like Kimberley in the final.
Looking forward to seeing Flavia's "kick ball change challenge". Hope she wins

[ppeatfruit]

Yaay Danni to win!!!

[digerd]

ps And love Pasha - so cute and hunky

[ppeatfruit]

OOh yes (perves over young man) Pasha

[AndiMac]

[vaguely Strictly related]

I've just found out that DD's school Christmas concert clashes with the same evening I have tickets to see Craig Revel Horwood in panto. I wasn't really worried about the panto, but would have liked to have seen him sashay around the floor and perhaps dance a bit.

[frankinsensible]

That's a shame Andi - I didn't realise he did panto until he mentioned something the other day on ITT. I saw the last couple of episodes of the conducting thing he won as well - he's a talented man although I think his judging on strictly has been a bit rubbish this season.

Pasha is really gorgeous isn't he? I think Kimberley is very likeable but I'm really not bothered about seeing any more of her dancing. My predictions aren't based on my prejudices tho, just on the way the voting seems to have gone so far. Lisa is very popular out there.

[WhoKnowsWhereTheMistletoes]

Pasha is my favourite male pro as well

[frankinsensible]

He's not my favourite male pro dancer tho - I prefer Vincent.

[WhoKnowsWhereTheMistletoes]

I don't really like any of the others particularly, either dancing wise (although Anton's ballroom can be breathtaking) or appearance wise.

[RedTinsel]

Artem and Vincent are my favourite male pros, though Artem edges it because he's fit. I like pasha a lot more this year than last year, it takes me a while to get used to them
Robin seems like a lovely bloke and I like the relationship he has with his partners.

[Minichristmas]

I'm with you on that Redtinsel .

[WhoKnowsWhereTheMistletoes]

I don't see as much of the personalities though because I rarely watch ITT and the DCs tend to talk over the videos in between the dances on Saturdays, so I am generally going on looks / overall impression of dancing (I'm no expert).
