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

[TheOriginalPan]

There.

I must put earplugs in if I want to be able to see DVO's rumba clearly and not with eyes full of tears and everything bleary !!

digerd we may have to turn the sound down, so we don't hear the song yelping as it is being slaughtered.

Oh yes, it probably won't sound the same, but it is the words that affect me, and if the dance is soooo romantic too, I'll be off. Must immerse myself in the beauty of the dance, and James face will bring me down to earth, I hope.

Just watched ITT, well, fast forwarded through half of it, especially the bit with jls on - bring back the old panels of people who watched the show not just people performing on the 'Sunday' show don't get me started on the fake Sunday thing

Anyway, I wanted to know WHY Robin wears such ridiculous shoes. He had massive 1980s teenager trainers on again. Sir Ian of Waite always tells us the importance of dancing in proper shoes - wouldn't that apply to the pros too? I actually thought their dance (whatever it was - missed the intro) looked a bit 'meh' and out of time. I think Lisa should go this week - she's well off the pace of the others unless she pulls something AMAZING out of the bag this week?

I always loved robin in previous years but he seems odd this year and not always quite on the ball. Don't know what it is but he doesn't seem himself

"And the moon and the stars,
Were the gifts you gave,
To the dark,
and the endless sky
my love"

not much better is there?

Ha ha at 'are Germany good'

Oh Pan you've started me off again. The most beautiful love song, isn't it Hope it's not slaughtered though.

I'd think it's the most beautiful, moving song ever written.

I missed that, I'll be another one off I think! Especially if their rumba is as good as I think it could be.

I don't always like James's style, but sometimes he picks absolutely gorgeous music.

Just hearing that Brucie went home from rehearsals early yesterday, and is a doubt for this evening. Sounds possibly like the time for decisions to be made.

Horsemad - it would have worked much better if I could have remembered the question as it was actually asked. "Spain. Are they any good?"

Lol, even beter Pan! I always go for Spain in the footy

better even. Grrrr.

Of course I meant Lisa and Robin are dancing to a song from Chicago frankin I wonder if they chose it deliberately?

Oh yes I LOVE the Ian and Karen history bits too (sorry I can't remember who mentioned them) they obviously enjoy them mightily themselves!!

Bruce has a head cold DM Link.

Oh dear sparkling !!

I do hope he's okay, kust not okay enought to do the show. Is that bad ppeat?

I don't think so sparkling

Watching ITT from last night. V interested in the other variations.

For those who skipped JLS, you missed out. They sounded like they actually watch the show, rather than guessing something to say from a 3-second video clip. And Aston Merrygold is both Louis Smith's mate and a dancing judge himself on Got to Dance, so had relevant things to say. I had to look up his name because I know nothing about JLS, but I did really enjoy their comments. Far more than what-his-face Mr Shuster from Glee the week before (and I love Glee).

Just checked the time of SCD tonight, and is from 6.30-8.15. Hope I don't get any visitors or phone calls, and dinner will have to wait !!

well Sparkling I'd wish him unwell enough just not to do any more of SCD!!!! He effs it up too much and I get the impression the producers are too scared and or too young to say anything IYKWIM

Agree about JLS Andimac it just shows how easy it is to be prejudiced .

Don't want brucie dead or ought like that, but kinda glad he's too ill to do the show tonight!

Did anyone read DVO interview in the daily fail?? All woe is me, and 'I'm not a dancer', ' I've been hard done by' etc etc. she's not helping herself in the popularity stakes is she??

My prediction for tonight is that judges will over mark DVO to ensure she's not in bottom again. I think if she's anywhere but top two she will be in the dance off again.

That article didn't do her any favours, did it? What's ironic, if I just think about the facts of the whole thing, I'm actually quite sympathetic towards to her, just not the way she comes across in that article.

I'm not technically able to link to the article could anyone VERY kindly do the honours i'd like to read that!
