Sick of the audience whooping and cheering every single bloody dip Angry Just shut up and watch.

Sparklingbrook · 29/11/2014 20:25

YY thenightsky, even the audience grate my carrot. Sad

I still don't know whether I am looking forward to the tour or not.

I didn't enjoy much of tonight either. I thought Simon and Caroline were the best. In fact, I think I want Simon to win now - he's the only one who seems to be getting better every week and he's lost the usual stiffness he has. He looks very dapper in a suit as well, he's got the most gorgeous bone structure . Him and Kristina seem more likeable now as well.

Frankie did a good job trying to keep up with mad Kevin but it was all a bit frantic, I'm surprised the judges didn't comment on that.

Mark was okay but still lacking in technique, he really needs to up his game now.

Pixie was as competent as ever, I liked the ballet stuff she did.

I thought Sunetra did quite well, I agree with Craig that she does have random wafty arms that seem to appear in all her dances. Sadly, I do think this will be her last week.

I feel sorry for Jake. Everyone has such high expectations of him yet he somehow seems to cock it up every week. I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't in the bottom two actually. I don't think the music or the theme did him any favours, if they wanted to do Greek they should have danced to To Tango Tis Nefelis, which would have worked (although it's much slower than most Tango music but they could have done a more romantic take on it).

I was think it was getting a bit Dancing With The Stars this very evening.
Which is fine as its own show, but I hate when it encroaches on OUR things

(Uh oh, bit of a ukip sentence that Blush)

Sparklingbrook · 29/11/2014 20:33

I think back to basics would be great.

No backing dancers
No props
No daft outfits/wigs/hats
Start & end the dance actually on the dancefloor
No dangling from the ceiling on wire
No theme nights
No Tess

OohOod · 29/11/2014 20:34

I hate Props.
I hate backing dancers.
I hate Darcy.
I hate Tess.
I hate the crap camera angles ( keep seeing cameras too)
I hate the crap music choices.
Angry Angry Angry

(sorry slightly grumpy tonight Blush)

If Lee Mead isn't in Casualty tonight that's my Saturday evening ruined.

OohOod · 29/11/2014 20:35

Maybe not so grumpy now I've crossed with Sparkling Grin

OohOod · 29/11/2014 20:37

Ooh forgot casualty don't know how as it's my sat routine off to find the thread. C'mon Sparkling join me I'm trying to keep it going

ThursdayLast · 29/11/2014 20:40

Hhaha you two!

Redcoats · 29/11/2014 20:46

Dear producers
Music has been terrible this year.
The extra dancers are annoying
Enough with the themes
Stop the judges dancing, it's awful, even Darcey looks too embarrassed to join in
And stop giving Tess jokes.

Hth

Ps alijaz needs to topless every week.

Pennies · 29/11/2014 20:55

Argh! What happened with Jake? I thought the music choice for the Argentine Tango was terrible. Then those bloody dancers made it impossible to watch and messy. I'm not sure the choreography helped him much either - he barely moved. I really hope he's not in the dance off.

Redcoats · 29/11/2014 20:57

If its jake vs sunetra in the DO I think he'll stay. Not sure he could beat any of the others with that dance.

Sparklingbrook · 29/11/2014 21:01

Don't all rush for this CD

Behoove · 29/11/2014 21:06

High point - the rather delectable buffness on show (yes I'm shallow)

Low(s) Tess's patter "my darling", too many backing dancers, and I'm worried about Brendan. Oh and continuing annoyance about Kevin's ott effervescence.

Oh yeah, KFG is annoying. Calm the fuck down, mate. You haven't won yet.

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 29/11/2014 21:52

I have the first one Sparkling. It's not bad but some of the singing is speeds are really dodgy. There's a rumba to Lost, which is sooo slow.

eeyoreeeyoreoh · 29/11/2014 22:43

What is it with Kevin this year?

He was so personable and likable last year. This year he seems really big for his boots - is he showing off trying to lord it over his 'little' sister do you think?

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 29/11/2014 22:48

I did wonder if there'd be a bit of sibling rivalry - he was the golden boy last year and now his younger, better sister has been taken on.

I don't know - he might not mind at all, but I don't know if I'd feel like my 'thing' was about to be taken over.

SpanishFly · 29/11/2014 23:45

Pixie is so overrated. Last week , I think it was in Len's lens, they showed a clip or two of them and were commenting on how precise she was. Yet the clips both showed that they weren't in sync at all. Yet nobody actually mentioned that. Why are they so based towards some of them?

Echocave · 29/11/2014 23:51

I am chuckling at the KFG comments. He looked like Pinnoccio on crack tonight. He must be absolutely miniature though because the normally dainty Frankie looked heavy and clumpy next to him. I think he's in danger of choreographing dances that make him look good rather than his partner. Poor Frankie was being wrenched around the dance floor tonight. I found their routine almost the least enjoyable.

I think Pixie is far and away the best dancer though Caroline and Simon are both great too. I don't know what to make of Frankie - technically she seems good but u find her boring to watch. At least Caroline acts a bit in her routines.

Overall I agree with the earlier comments about this series. The worst thing for me has been the music which has been appalling almost every night.

Echocave · 29/11/2014 23:52

I find her..not u!

OneInAMillionYou · 30/11/2014 00:51

What is up with Pixie and her affected baby ickle wickle voice? I have to fast forward bits where she speaks as it gives me the rage!

Thought tonight was an utter car crash with the exception of Caroline and Simon.
The gimmicks and appalling music choices are ruining the show for me now.

Did no one on production realise that the stupid 'round the world' theme could still have been maintained by placing the Argentine Tango in, oh I don't know, ARGENfuckingTINA??
Zorba The Greek? Awful decision.

OwlCapone · 30/11/2014 07:47

Maybe that's just the way she speaks...?
