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 Smile So much nicer than Wembley.

Absolutely Frankel that sort of sense of being mentally aloof while physically passionate. It is such a shame.

Whichever way the vote had gone, it would have been wrong. If dave stayed because his dance-off performance was better, it would have been a travesty because he has been consistantly the least able dancer in the competition. That dave went when, for once, he wasn't the worst is also really unfair.

I have always thought it was Rhumba but my read windows squiggly line was telling me NO IT IS RUMBA Grin

Argentine Tango.

Watch Vincent and Flavia on you Tube < you'll have to bear with Brucie introducing them for a few seconds> . Fantastic.

JaneEyresHeir · 10/11/2013 21:05

And some pronounce it 'rum-bah'others 'room-bah'!
Roomba always sounds as bit rood rude to me....

Weirdly (I'bve been sucked into google) Kevin used to dance with Artem's ex-wife in Burn the Floor.

There's quite a bit of gossip actually. There's a whole lot of not-so-nice stuff about Karen bubbling on twitter and the SCD facebook. Apparently she was sent tweets accusing her of being a husband-stealer after those reports about her being nasty to Ola.

AmIThatHot - you didn't make a mistake - the person on DS did, she came back and put it right later on the thread!

mrsjay · 10/11/2013 21:13

that is really sad karen is getting grief the people hurling abuse at her are moaning she was nasty but they were just as bad, I suspect Ola gave as good as she got I dont agree with cattyness but to keep it going is just daft ,

wasnt burn the floor produced by robin windsor ?

AmIthatHot · 10/11/2013 21:36

Thanks Clayhead just catching up on the DS thread now.

I'm not particularly a fan of Karen, but I think it's pathetic the abuse she's getting because she had a row with Ola, who is perfectly spiky and I'm sure quite capable of handling herself.

The mentality of some on twitter never ceases to amaze me.

This

is the best AT I have ever seen - Vincent and Flavia of couyrse (+ others)

wetaugust · 10/11/2013 21:41

Well I found it sad that, having both auditioned, only Artem was selected. As a result his TV career taook off and hers didn't.

They split up eventually.

A lot of them seem to get married very young. I don't know if that doesn't help.

I think it was Len who said in an interview that it was the worst thing possible to marry your dance partner, but then there are plenty of happily married dance couples, so it's hard to say. I suppose if the dancing's the only thing you have in common it can all fall apart if you stop for any reason.

Len married his dance partner as her father was also their coach. When he died Len and his wife quit competitive dancing to run the family dance school and he said they suddenly realised they had nothing in common.

One simple reason (back in the 60s/70s at least) to get married was because it saved on hotel bills - a married couple could share a room.

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 10/11/2013 22:15

Ah, thank you, I couldn't remember the exact circumstances.

I suppose a reason now for getting married would be for visas if you have a mixed-country partnership.

I always wondered whether that was a factor in Matthew and Nicole Cutler's marriage - I guess they could never admit it if it was.

Horsemad · 11/11/2013 00:38

Thought the right person went tonight. Hope Markk has ballroom next week.

mrsjay · 11/11/2013 08:45

think Len has recently remarried I am sure the first week of the show the mentioned it,

thistlelicker · 11/11/2013 08:47

Len looks good for his age I think !

SoupDragon · 11/11/2013 09:12

I think Len has recently married too - I thought it was odd as I assumed he was married already

mrsjay · 11/11/2013 09:13

yes so did I I assumed he had been married years ,

mrsjay · 11/11/2013 09:15

I just googled LEn wedding and the first picture that came up was of him and Darcy Grin

SoupDragon · 11/11/2013 09:24

It's his third marriage too.

SoupDragon · 11/11/2013 09:26

Actually I'm sullying myself with the Daily Mail it seems it's his second marriage with a long term relationship in between :o
