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

There.

Pan
Agree that the judges should explain that characterisation in dance is shown through the body movements not just the face.

Louis jive - Darcey explained that he was 'too supple' and that was a problem, which I didn't follow. But what do I know?
And where exactly is Frankel? She would explain, prob.

I was also perplexed about Darcy's remark. She also trained as a gymnast, but female gymnasts are expected to be much more supple than the men, who are more into showing their muscular prowess. Have you seen the men do that star on the high bar?

We need Frankel back definitely. I didn't really understand Darcey's comment either, I can see that being very supple could make it look 'lazy', too fluid, iyswim, but that didn't seem to be the problem!

I'd have said his steps were too big, (we're told you should be able to do the chasses on a ten pound note) but they didn't really mention that, so I don't know! I don't really know enough to say if that's right or just a 'style' of it. Come back Frankel!!

OOh - what a beautiful waltz - loved it. Anton is very elegant and graceful with great posture.

Puffpants I was gutted he missed out on the gold

Tess's dress is a bit weird isn't it?

Lovely reax from Kimberley!

Ahh sigh of relief, Lisa in the DO, yeahh! I was so worried, my heart was pounding.

Tess is a beautiful woman with a fab figure. That dress would make Kate Moss look hippy (and not in a boho way!). It's just wrong.

KJ doing Santa Baby.

I don't like Katherine Jenkins. A real diva in RL.

Tess has pissed off the costume department this week.

I'm here! Sorry, I've been lurking.

Darcey just talks guff I'm afraid - her comment about Dani not having straight enough legs in her tango - err you dance Tango with flexed knees

Kristina does have divine feet - she really uses them.

But why is she doing it on a family show?

Sorry, it's like Mary Poppins doing Santa Baby.

Not keen on KJ.
Think she overdoes the sweet, girl next door thing. She comes across as hard as nails to me.
She is gorgeous though.

Mini according to the dcs I know who sang with her last week she really isn't very nice at all. Definitely not Mary Poppins. In fact she behaved as if she didn't like children at all.

She just didn't have the required sexy, sultryness. I have heard she can't do opera because of a lack of emotion. Great voice, but needs something else.

Red I think you are spot on. Some of the boys asked for a signed photo and she refused and also refused to speak to them.

Frankel! You are not allowed to lurk.

She's very pretty definitely. I always thought she and Gethin would have the most gorgeous babies.

Oooo. Cruella then Bisjo. She's no Eartha Kitt.

YES YES YES LOUIS AND FLAVIA

I was really surprised. I think they still had a lovely time as the Royal Albert Hall is such a lovely venue but I think the parents were rather surprised to hear how she was in RL.
