SCD 2014 #2: First boot, musicals week and beyond..

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

... well, depending upon how much we talk!

Carrying on from thread one.

I don't find him adorable. I just find his face annoying. It's not fair or rational but I just do. I can't help it.

Maybe he's a good bloke, but to me he comes across as boring. And I really really don't like the beefy, brawny, arms-like-hams look ... I'm just predisposed not to like him. He's my anti-type.

I miss Erin too, her ballroom was beautiful and she seems like a lovely person, a lot of the female professionals seem a bit same-y to me now. However I think her latin and charlston etc sometimes let her down, technically probably fine (I'm no expert) but she's a bit too girl next door to really get the chemistry going. I also miss Flavia, Robin and Vincent.

Maybe Judy just needs to get a bit pissed and then hit the dancefloor in that really exuberant, "I'm the best dancer in the world" way that you do when you've had several spritzers.

I thought Judy was the worst of the lot. She seemed to be the only one with absolutely zero enthusiasm for what she was doing.

Oh yes Robin I forgot he was injured

I think judy is really self aware and awkward she is used to coaching not being coached iyswim its waay out of her comfort zone

Annd yes give her a sherry before she goes on

I don't think Judy is lacking in enthusiasm, I think she's more self-conscious. The others that are poor dancers (Scott, Jennifer, Tim) are all performers so can at least blag the enthusiasm.

SO pleased that Jennifer and Tristan stayed and that Gregg has left. Interesting behind the scenes details in an interview Tristan gave here here

Ok I just received a reply to my tweet to Claudia about her dress - you can get it from Ossice Clark

the lovely Claudia's dress

No, I think Judy's too self-conscious too - the way her whole being shone with joy when she knew she was still in puts the lie to that one! She's loving it, she's just terrified of going wrong. She's also got that stiffness I often see in very lean people (dunno why it's often there, but it is) which isn't helping her. A quick (but small, since we just want her relaxed, but not too relaxed) sherry or something before she goes on next time would probably do her performance a power of good. Just let her get decent comments once, I think there'll be a meteoric improvement

Onlylovers I will do that thanks for the advice Maybe Feedback too?

I agree Tess's white dress was pretty but not blingy enough, IMO more for a classy wedding and would've looked a lot better with an up do. She's got a good face for an up do.

I liked the dancing in the pros frozen dance, not sure about the singing or the staging!

It is lovely Thelma but I can't justify buying it because I will have no occasion to wear it

Jake was amazing yesterdAy (just caught up on iplayer), Judy awful poor thing agree that she's just terribly self conscious (understandably). Out of Gregg & Jennifer the judges made the right decision.

Yes, why not send in feedback too? Double whammy! they won't pay any attention to either

Why did Artem leave!? None of the other pro. dancers are doing anything for me

Username I believe Artem chose to stay in the US and take part in Dancing with the Stars. Really missing him (and Robin). Is anyone missing James Jordan?

my question got lost on the end of the old thread why was some of the Let It Go footage played backwards? It looked ridiculous

Trinity yes the backwards thing was vv weird can't understand it at all.

Chimp agree about the dress but it was v lovely (and a fair price IMO)

Jake was very good and I agree Judy is too wooden (and Anton will never sort it out)

The pro dance was weird, I thought there was something wrong with my eyes/telly.

I miss Erin too, I especialy miss Monkseal's comments about Erin. I miss Flavia and Vincnt, well mostly
Flavia. I miss Artem for the eye candy. And although Robin's not the best pro, he's such a sweetheart, I miss him as well.

From all the newbies in the last couple of years I like iveta the best, she's brilliant. I like Alijaz a lot
More this year as well.

Who's missing James - mmmm, maybe Ola?

Also am NOT missing James at all

I think Tess has looked alright so far, she must have been nice to the wardrobe department this year.

I have read that Tess doesn't do blingy dresses deliberately because the dancers are so sparkly. She likes to look more formal than them.

I'm not missing James one little bit. I don't miss Artem either to be honest, he was quite sweet but not attractive to me.

Hi! Does anyone know why the singer on the Sunday show had an odd hat thing on? Most peculiar

The Man with The Hat? He's always had it. It's his thing.

Saw enough of james Jordan on big brother so not missing him, I read artem had visa problems I think or maybe somebody told me. The man is hat j love him he looks like a squashed phil jupitus
