Strictly Come Dancing 2012: Thread 6 - all sequins and tafeta and NOOO gossipy stuff getting in the way.

[TheOriginalPan]

There.

Phew! Feel like I can breathe again...and relax

Hello. Strictly Dancing. Got it.

As I was saying, Brendan seems to be the kiss of death. Nice to see Anton looking swell in the Buble dance instead of playing the clown as usual

Ok I'm in.

Marking my spot.

Agree that AdB could be the next presenter. Gets a bit over-excited but wit ha bit of restraining coaching he'll be fine.

I don't know who I want to win. I suppose Louis or Dani.

Can't be anymore OTT than Bruce though

Dani for me.

I would like Louis or Dani to win. Brucie to go. A d B would do a good job of presenting, but would he want it?

I want Dani to win. Though I wouldn't mind if Louis got it.

I'm actually going to be ok with anyone winning at this stage, other than Lisa, unless she suddenly jumps up and gets to the same level of talent as the others currently have. I love her, but agree with everyone who says she's reaching her limits.

my preference is for Louis, on the basis he is right out of his comfort zone on a few levels, and started from zero. Nimble as runner up.

Have put this on the other thread but will re-post it here

I have a theory about Emma Bunton grin She announced she was pregnant fairly soon after the show finished and I worked out she would have known she was pregnant by the time of the final therefore would not have wanted to do the showdance with all the big lifts. So, I think it was fixed so that she would be in the dance-off and the judges put her out so that it wasn't an issue and she didn't have to pull out and announce her pregnancy early.

oh and Louis also because Flavia is due the Glitter Ball as well.

I'd be ok with Louis winning. What's interesting is that although Louis doesn't have the dance experience, his gymnastics has to be an advantage, more than other sports like cycling and cricket since he has to memorise routines and would be more familiar with paying attention to his posture and such.

true.

I'd like either Louis or Dani to win, but think it'll be Kimberley who does win

Anton and Erin were lovely tonight, so elegant and poised.

I'm still backing Louis and Flavia, my DCs are desperate for Lisa to win (they're only little) but I really don't think she should go any further now.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind Louis winning. Love Flavia.

Had no idea Erin was from New Zealand. She was on that CBBC show where they talk about what life was like when they were 12.

For me:
Semi final - Lisa v DVO in the dance off, Lisa to go. James will combust!
Final - DVO out first, Then Kimberley.
Vincent and Flavia to have an AT - off to the death, Louis to win.

Like that red

Vincent deserves to win. He should have won with Rachel - they were robbed. He's had a couple of years of comedy partners. He deserves to win this time.

I just want the best dancer to win, but as Louis is the underdog, and had no dance training or experience I want him to really wow me and then win. Most male celebs on SCD are out of their comfort zone, and also have to lead.

There is the possibilities of injuries. Two dances, emotional strains, excess practice, tiredness, long hours Devo/James losing it with each other
