SCD 2013 #5: Hoping the music will improve for musicals week!

Last thread here.

This pro dance is fun

Poor Mark's knees. I hope the poor chap gets to go home this week, I feel keeping him in is actively cruel at this point :(

I get the impression that Patrick is not that bovvered. Ashley's trying for a bit more hip.

I thought Mark would be happy to go considering his health probs but he was quite tearful about it in last night's show.

I missed the patented Ola Jordan Latin kneeslide last night, nice to see it's still there!

Patrick couldn't dance like that if he wasn't bothered! He's just a cool guy and doesn't do the gushy thing which is fair enough.

Awww bye bye mark

I love Sophie - I didnt expect to! Think it's the whole 'Head Girl - Keeper of the Chastity Belt' that Monk Seal goes on about!
I can't warm to Susanna at all - don't dislike her, but she's almost too confident and 'show-offy' when performing. Think she's very popular with the public.

He seems like such a genuinely nice chap. Awww.

Ashley seemed very upset and nearly in tears. Mark expected it and he did do a proper double knee bend but the bounce was too clodhoppy, bless him.

Yes, no Bruce next week

Love Iveta.

Great partnership - will miss them.
'He is my family'

Iveta seems quite the person doesn't she?

Aliona was def there last night.

So, Claudia .... preggers or not? Slimmer fitting dress this week. I thought the huge apron last week was a total cover up!

Think Iveta must have got a popularity boost this year. They were a good couple.
Marks grin of relief when the votes went to Ashley.

I think Tess might be?

Are we clutching at straws now? Len has got a bit of a belly

• such a moving song. I love Colm Wilkinson singing it.

Aw bless Mark. Two standing ovations and he was spared the swingathon, which I think would actually have crippled him. Did you notice that Claudia made a special point of coming to hug him farewell - I'm sure she doesn't do that for most people.

And no Bruce next week. Hurrah!

I really do hope they don't "get a man in" when Bruce retires. Claudia does the backstage job brilliantly, I can't think of anyone who could do it better, and although I can't say the same for Tess front of house it wouldn't be fair to sack her.

Who did we think last year, Denise wasn't it? And Holly the year before.

One year there will be somebody and we'll probably miss it completely

I really like Iveta, I'm pleased she came back this year.

I thought the Claudia discussion was ongoing from a couple of weeks ago!

Ola didn't look pg this week perhaps she'd overdone it on the takeaways last week!!

What lovely people Mark and Iveta are.

I agree ilovesooty
