STRICTLY COME DANCING FINAL THREAD 22/12/12

[Sparklingbrook]

Place your bets......

can someone explain what's so great about Claudia? I can't stand her, with that horrible fringe and panda eyes and self conscious "kooky" persona!

Old trouts? How perfectly delightful

Old trouts to win next year.

Nigella - Claudia is uber intelligent, very fast-witted, highly aimiable, empathic/sympathetic with guests, urbane...... and is pure sex on legs.

I'd like a trout pout as my lips don't look so luscious as they used to be < sad face>. Just going to search for Pam Anderson on Strictly to remind me. But she will look gorgeously young, of course. Cherie Longhi was naturally lovely.

We were wondering if Kimberley had had a lip job.

Felicity Kendall - another old trout (though with perhaps slightly more Botox)

well I think we will definitely have to agree to differ there, Pan!
I'm aware she's really popular - but I just don't get it the appeal as I find her freaky and annoying and her lipstick is so light it looks like tippex

I can't stand Claudia either - she seems to be hell-bent on turning herself into the female Hugh Grant.

What, by being the scourge of the tabloids and the Defender of Celebrity Privacy?

no, with the whole 'oh gosh, oh golly, silly old me' clueless posho act.

The woman is a Goddess.

I hadn't noticed her Hugh Grant resemblance. Is she posh?

Anyway, I think she does a great job and she definitely should have been there last night in some capacity.

clearly lots of people love her!

Claudia saints and ad limbs quite a lot as she is blind as a bat and cannot read the auto cue. It all adds to her attraction for me.

Would love to see Antonio presenting it. He is brilliant.

The live tour is great. Especially the ringside seats. Matt D'Angelo came up to us and asked DD to go for a spin with him on the dance floor one year.

Antonio? Anton!

I wasn't sure about Kimberley's luscious lips - suspicious though.
Felicity has obviously had a face lift too - my sister thought her face looked awful, but I was impressed with her "bendyness", legs and figure, but she couldn't dance.
Claudia. Liked her on ITT, but recently on SCD at times she seemed a bit "odd", and her posture is not good. " Pure Sex on legs"? Well, each to his own, I suppose, Pan!
Pamela Anderson was a great tango dancer for her age, but couldn't see her face on the video.

Oh dear god! Claudia SQUINTS and AD LIBS!

Downton - Big grinning face. One of the odd things about Claudia is now clear, she was squinting and poking her chin forward to try to see the auto cue - as bad as Brucie !!

Yes digerd she just can't see.

I don't think she is right for the main show but I do like her very much.

Was missing SCD so much I just had to trawl through old dances on You Tube. I loved Louis's showdance yesterday and was thinking about previous showdances and the fact that the final can be won or lost during that dance. I remembered that there were two that were remembered for the wrong reasons "puppetgate" and the other Lisa and Brendan's Showdance.

Now I love Brendan and Lisa was gorgeous and talented but talk about the wrong dance for her. What was he thinking---?????

Found this fantastic clip on You tube with comments, slomo and new music which enhances the effect

Enjoy!

I don't know if it means anything but on SCM's Wiki page, Kimberly and Denise are both listed as 'runners up', but Kimberly is the name nearest to Louis.

Hilarious Gilberte

They showed Kimberley's brother on ITT and he had exactly the same shaped mouth so, if she's had hers done, he must have too

Thanks Gilberte

ahh see I loved Denise an James! I thought she was the best dancer and her show dance was out of this world! I liked her previously on big breakfast etc. I didnt think she would win as she seemed to lack support throughout. James and Brendon are my fav prof dancers

Louis's show dance was amazing so happy for them both to win.

I liked Tess's dark blue dress but the gold one was manky!

Bruce is awful, I have to watch via skyplus so I can fast forward past him! At the end he was so so rude telling them to stay back, he needs to go, why not let Claud and Tess host? Or Zoe ball? Anyone would be better than Bruce!
