SCD 2013 #3: Three celebs down, who's next?

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

Starting a new thread quickly before tonight's results show! We talk too much

Link to last thread

A lot of previous celeb dancers in the audience - does anyone think they've been filming a special?

?? I don't know.. There hasn't been one dance tonight that has made ne really happy i tuned in.. except maybe Patrick - i think i really liked him!

the marks tonight have been ridiculous!!

Agree, little Kevin is mega.

Love Kevin! He is completely adorable.

The only exciting bit was at the beginning - Patrick. Natalie was lovely but just as expected

Top 3 (for me):
Natalie
Patrick
Ashley

Having just watched the round up - Patrick was my favourite

Same, FushandChups...

Patrick
Abbey
Ashley

didn't see Natalie.

Rachel and Mark in the dance off?

Dave really has to go tomorrow, and Patrick should not be in the bottom 2 again .

Rachel, Fiona and Sophie were all on a par tonight for me.
Mark at least made a serious effort and got into character.
Ashley and Patrick the best men - Ben the biggest and strongest .
Natalie in a league of her own. Abbey 2nd by several lengths.
Susanna not much further to go.

Bottom 2 tomorrow, anyone's guess.

Quite a mixed night I thought, and several couples were over marked.

I think Kevin From Grimsby is lovely, but so I am told, the reason he went on to the West End stage is because he wasn't good enough to progress from Juniors to full-blown adult professional in the Ballroom/Latin scene.

Time to go for Dave and Karen tonight hopefully. Think Mark and Iveta could be in dance off too. Sophie and Brendan also in danger zone - really hope they're not in dance off. Loved Susanna tonight and Ashley.

He was doing well with one partner, if you look here then they split, and you can see he took a big gap before competing with his last partner, and then they only did two competitions, neither look particularly big ones. But that was all amateur, it doesn't look as if he's ever competed as a professional.

Well, just caught up on you tube and wasn't that keen on any of them tonight tbh.
Originally - i.e. week one, my favourites were Rachel Patrick and Mark.

Now I am probably rooting for Fiona due to her tolerance of ohChristAntonNotYourCockAgain and Mark due to iveta but neither will make it to the end stages Ashley and Ola have won me over. Which dancer has been 'bullying' Ola, anyone here know?

Abbey - i am still not seeing it
Natalie - dancebot
Sophie - just not into it, peaked too soon
Susanna - too into it
Patrick - competitive
Ben - still overmarked
Dave - less said the better

Favourite dance has been Sophie's charleston, would have got 10s if later in series
I also liked Janette's tango choreo if not Julien's execution until I realised that the thrones etc had all been nicked from Mark Ballas' paso
in DWTS

am loving DWTS more atm - Derek Hough's charleston with Amber Riley was excellent.

whereas i haven't fallen for the routines in strictly this season
Monkseal was right about Robin aspiring to Mandy Moore's SYTYCD table duel, that routine was also nabbed for the uk version so I guess there is a lot of crossover.

But I was really underwhelmed with music choices tonight.
The dancers among you - are the following not doable due to tempo/what dance could you choreo the following for?

Don't fear the reaper
Monster (The Automatic)
Old devil called love
People are strange
Werewolves of London - was used in DWTS for a cha cha cha
She wolf
Moon over Bourbon Street (Sting)
Vampires and wolves (Wombats)
Heads will roll (yeah yeah yeahs)
Black cat (Janet Jackson)

I know that poor Dave Arch cannot learn 10 new songs each week but the recycling is astounding.

I am too heavily invested in this aren't I?

Yes yes i am - tis Karen Hauer who has allegedly been telling Ola she can't dance and James has tweeted that Karen came from nahthing.

Oh why did Iveta have to do the phone-hand thing? Now they will definitely be in the dance off. Is anyone else sick of Patrick's gurning? Would be quite happy if he left but really and truly the whole Dave thing has gone far enough. It's not even remotely funny and was it just me or did a lot of the dances feel a little flat? As though they over-hyped Halloween week then it just wasn't possible for mere mortals to live up to it....

Abby was great, I am so surprised by her, hope she does really well (maybe wins???)

Poor SEB, she started so well and has sort of fallen apart. If she gets through I hope she gets back to ballroom, she needs a confidence boost and doing something she is better suited to would be such a help.

GO HOME DAVE, PLEASE STOP VOTING FOR HIM PEOPLE, THE JOKE IS OVER/WAS NEVER FUNNY.

Why can I not warm to Natalie? I don't watch Corrie, but I'm not feeling it.

totally agree aobut patrick's gurning.
gets on my nerves.

natalie is boring she is so good. and abbey clancie.

i like mark and Ben. and somehow Susanna is too keen, but, good for her. didnt see the whole thing though

I can't warm to Natalie either - probably because she has the training, so a little unfair to me! I like Susanna, she is the only other girl who can pull off the latin and ballroom. Abby, is good, Sophie I really like but she can't do the latin, she just has such a cool personality it just doesn't work. I personally didn't liked Natalie's Viennese - wasn't twirly enough
