SCD 2013 #4: We're off to Blackpool!

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

Thread four here we go! Link to the last thread here.

So, Natalie's through to next week and we'll see who's going to be joining her in the Tower Ballroom So much nicer than Wembley.

What did Len say?? I missed it!!

[FrankelInFoal]

Len is right, there were an awful lot of mistakes in Mark's routine which just goes to show that they don't always choose the better of the two purely based on the dance off.

[JaneEyresHeir]

I really like Dave.

Just couldn't bear to watch him 'dance'!

[RedPencils]

Oooh Controversial Len.

Any word of Natalie?

[SoupDragon]

Mark was worse!
Dave was better.

[Minimammoth]

Marking place and looking forward to Blackpool

[CrazyOldCatLady]

Yes, I've just sniggered my way through the James and Artem rumba too. Brilliant : )

[Badgerwife]

Come on, Mark was not very good but still better than Dave. He was better than Dave every single week! And he'll be out next week anyway

[DameEdnasBridesmaid]

It was right that Dave went but Mark made me cringe this week.

[CrazyOldCatLady]

I don't find Dave funny at all. It's obviously scripted to be that way but it just doesn't work because he actually thinks he deserves to be there.

[FrankelInFoal]

Natalie is under orders to rest apparently.

Anyone else notice that everyone seemed to be commiserating with Dave but only Kevin was standing with Karen.......

[womma]

Oh thank god Dave's finally out!

[FrankelInFoal]

Yes Mark is overall a better dancer than Dave, but in that dance off Dave actually danced better than the first time, and Mark was worse second time around.

[Fiderer]

Are they a couple, Kevin and Karen? All very intense there.

[JaneEyresHeir]

BBC website says Natalie is to see a doctor tomorrow to determine whether she'll be fit to dance next week. Hope she's okay.

[AmIthatHot]

Marking my spot. I check the DS spoiler on Saturday night, but I wasn't expecting this result. I thought Dave was the one saved. I must have picked it up wrong. Happy that he's gone though. The tartan onslaught was awful, as was the WonderfulSingersDaveArchandhisOrchestra dreadful imitation of the Proclaimers.

[FrankelInFoal]

Kevin and Karen are engaged.

[thistlelicker]

From Venezuela to grimsby ...... Nice

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

They've never promised it's just on the dance off, have they? I think it was probably the right bottom two. If just on the DDO (dreaded dance off) then maybe Mark should have gone, but looking overall I think it was right to get rid of Dave.

[AndiMac]

Frankel, Kevin is Karen's partner, so makes sense he was the first to commiserate with her. Couldn't see what happened after the throng formed around Dave and Karen.

[HellesBellesThinksSometimes]

I agreed with Len - on the one and only occasion that Dave danced better than Mark (dreadful routine in Mark's case) he got voted off.

I never got the impression that dave was anything other than "chuffed" to be there. I think, sadly, older and/or larger contestants are pushed into being novelties because they have no chance of staying in otherwise. If Mark was slimmer, I am certain he would be awarfed higher marks - not this week, obviously.

Iveta needs to keep her leg down. It's getting a bit tedious.

[digerd]

Looking forward to seeing Natalie's Argentine Tango- think she'll be good at that < as she has been in all her dances so far>.
At least none of the good dancers was in the bottom 2 this week.

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

Fid, they got engaged after one of their Burn the Floor shows .

[AndiMac]

Aha, I didn't know they were engaged! That explains why I lip-read him say, "You know I love you" when he hugged her.
