New thread here

Yes I agree about Simon. ( I heart him) and want him to win. I thought they were all fairly crap and Caro was widely over marked.

Frankie was supposed to be a stiff 'doll' though wasn't she onlylovers ? did you hear her and Kev on R2 ? The $100,000 question was asked and she answered honestly!!!!!!![fshock

Mark's face won him the DO iMO he's cuter than Jake!

[emotionsecho]

ppeat even though KFG has a sticky out bum naturally, he does adopt an odd posture and sticks it out even more in some dances, he just doesn't seem to pull up and stand tall like the other dancers.

What was the question and answer?

[ppeatfruit]

I think it was James Corden who asked how much dance experience she'd had!!!!!! She'd been to ballet\dancing class till 9 yrs old and of course danced with the Saturdays.

It's true Kev hasn't the posture of Pascha (my god he's gorgeous!!!!!).

I liked the jive that the pros did and Louis AAAAAh !!!

[Mrsjayy]

Pasha has the bottom of a peach

[OnlyLovers]

ppeat, but IMO unfortunately it didn't come across as her dancing as a doll but just as her dancing stiffly in a bad way.

She is so OBVIOUSLY trained. I don't think it's very fair. I know it was when she was very young, but early training is probably more likely to 'stick' than if you do it when you're older.

In lifts it is the responsibility of the man to lower the girl with great strength and control, in which it seems Kevin is somewhat lacking

Something caused Caroline's posture in hold to be so off ..
She has never been like that in her previous ballroom dances - very odd.

Caroline is a more skilled dancer than Frankie.

[Tensmumym]

Please, please can someone in the media ask Mark if he has ever had, even a teeny, weeny bit of dance instruction in his 10 years at the Sylvia Young Theatre School? Very we won't get to see Jake's salsa again in the final. Would love Simon or Caroline to win but can't see that happening. I think it will probably be Frankie as she has the support from being in a group and, despite the overreaction this series, Kevin is very popular.

[ppeatfruit]

Yes digerd The thing with the lifts is that IMO Frankie is quite heavy for Kev. and maybe doesn't 'jump' into the lifts as I was told to do when doing partnering training in ballet. (lifts are not easy at all) .

Tens If Mark was in a musical or panto whatever, he deffo would have been dancing. I remember some Sylvia Young boys singing in Oliver in the time he would've been there.

[Tensmumym]

ppeatfruit - interesting you should say that. Did you see the bit in ITT when Zoe was interviewing Frankie and Kevin and she mentioned how light Janette was? Frankie made a joke of it and took it very well.

I'm sure Mark hasn't had lots of dance experience but he must have had some. It wouldn't bother me so much if he - and others, including Len fgs - didn't go ON and ON and ON about being a complete beginner.

[Justgotosleepnow]

Does anyone else wonder about the female celebrities getting pms?
I've wondered about that in the previous series. There was always odd weeks when a sleb girl cried a lot in training & just didn't 'get it' and struggled a bit on the show night.

I struggle with coordination and physical energy when I'm premenstrual, so maybe they do too? And they aren't athletes like the pro women who are used to coping through the month, and probably have better nutrition & support to enable them to compete at their high levels.

Whaddya reckon?

[ppeatfruit]

Yes I did see that Tensmumym Fra. is quite good natured IMO she was also trying to be friendly with Pix when they were interviewed together which didn't quite work .

I also noticed the emphasis by the judges on Mark's 'journey' yesterday when he was saved. As I said it was his pretty face that saved him IMO!!!

I agree about Mark's face being very attractive but I was also entranced by his performance of his contemporary ballet-style rumba, making me think he had previous experience of this. Perhaps it was just excellent acting, though. I am unsure.

[Tensmumym]

Well, I think I've heard that Mark has been to Theatre School so that might account for the acting?

[ppeatfruit]

Yes Sylvia Young does acting classes Tensmum I suppose he could've attended a different one too.

digerd I'm not sure about his contemporary rumba; maybe Karen's incredible talent showed him up I don't know.

[ppeatfruit]

Is there a new thread??? Anyone?? Simon Webb on R2 ATM BTW.
