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

[TheOriginalPan]

There.

Flavia, the dahlink, did 76. The others did less. . She is the World Record Holder!

Strictly Ballroom is farking hilarious! Botopogo anyone?

I think Pasha did 73, Zoe said they both beat Erin's 71.

Ah thank you both - that will teach me for trying to listen to DH at the same time

I love strictly ballroom - I'd love to watch it again now as I don't think I'd ever watched SCD the last time I would have watched it 100 years ago

Well done on guessing Flav would win the challenge redtinsel She LOOKED the best doing it too!

Blimey that Artem is fantastic looking isn't he? I don't think I've seen him close up before

I thought artem looked pretty good yesterday too but he also seemed a lot more relaxed (maybe because he's not competing?) which maybe helped?

Also agree that flavia's KBCs looked fab - lots of the pros thought she'd win too didn't they

yeah she's incredibly talented and NICE too!

hi all, don't usually watch ITT but have seen a couple of this week's, and I think I caught James indicating their tango routine was going to be a bit 'different'... wonder if that is really wise? If the judges don't like it, either they will have to ace the rumba or they risk being in the dance off again.

Also, we have five couples left but only two weekends. Has it been confirmed that the final will be between four, or could it be a surprise double exit tomorrow??

Andif they have already said that there'll be 4 couples in the final (I THINK!).

What I thought was really ironic is that Danni and Vincent are dancing to a song from CHICAGO!! I wonder why DVO ain't gonna dance to that one??

Naughty ppeat...

This semi is going to be so nerve-wracking. Presumably it's top secret what share of the public vote each couple have been getting so far. I assume that Louis is safe, he is so popular (and gorgeous...sigh), I also have a hunch that Lisa still has a lot of fans out there but I could be wrong.

Assuming I'm right then either Dani or Kimberley will have to go in the dance-off with DVO and the judges are going to be torn apart deciding who to go with. If they sacrifice either of those two for DVO there's gonna be a riot! (in my living room anyway!)

I shall "pickle my walnuts", if DVO does not produce a wow rumba and get 10s all round. Haven't seen her Tango, but will create spectacular lines with her legs.

Maybe true that the majority of viewers prefer Lisa to DVO, but there's no comparison in their dancing skills. I want Lisa to go this week.
And hope Louis lets himself go in the Jive.

I suspect Devo and James' rhumba might be very convincing..

yes time for Lisa to go.

There's no justice. I started a work sweepstake, after Mr Ball was eliminated. £3 a go. I drew Fern. The people who drew Louis and Kimberley are two blokes who have nooooo interest whatsoever and have to ask me on Monday mornings what happened. £39 will go to the entirely undeserving.

I think I am going to lie one Monday. They won't know.

Pan
I don't think DVO even likes James particularly, but perhaps that's because I don't think he's attractive at all. Now PASHA yummy.
I think DVO, Kimberley, Danni and Louis are all on a par in their own way. I don't mind which of them wins.
How annoying about your sweepstake.

No, maybe she doesn't, digerd.

oh it was worse when I did a footie Euro 2012 sweep in summer. Bloke pulls out Germany (or whoever was hot favourite and eventual winner), look sat me and innocently asks. "Are Germany any good?"

I hope it wasn't the same fellow Pan. I could see not knowing anything about Strictly or nothing about about football, but both is stretching the point perhaps. Then again, I'm a Strictly addict and love the Europa and World Cup, so I suppose it takes all sorts! (Spain won this summer).

Ah Spain, yes thanks. Who could forget?. No not the same chap.

Just hope James keeps schtum IF they are in any dance-off again. Devo would have reason to be miffed about that interjection from last week.

What is this "bloke" interested in then I wonder?

Ooh Pasha and Kimberley on ITT, plus Dani and Vincent. They have a passionate AT piece of music - gets me in the tango mood.

So glad that Vincent is using proper Tango music for his AT routine with Dani. The same piece they used for .

That french judge looks like an extra from Grease.

A sexy American Smooth for Kim and Pasha to FEVER - might not be Fred and Ginge enough for Len?

Chris Marques is based in the UK. He was British Salsa Champion with Jackie Spencer.

in the past.

Oooh I didn't know that Frankel, I don't remember seeing him.

JLS? Why are we being treated to them on ITT?

Never seen them before but they do seem up to speed with the vibe.

Oh no, Dvo's rumba music is my fave romantic song - First Time Ever I Saw Your Face - eyes filling up with tears already.

oh I have First Time, Roberta Flack video on my Bookmarks!
