SCD 2015 #2 - One down, fourteen to go! Film week and onwards...

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

Following on from thread one.

Red why would you vote for Carole, she's hopeless.

And wardrobe and hair aren't doing her any favours either. Tonight's dress was marginally. ether than previous.

Kinky - KFG is Kevin From Grimsby

Aha thanks Thursday.

I agree - why would anyone vote for Carol? Lovely lady but dull as dishwater to watch dancing!

KFG is Kevin from Grimsby I presume. He is very much the stage dancer.
Last year he became extremely OTT hyper in his dances and becoming the same now I noticed tonight.

Voting for Pasha surely?!

Kellie and KFG zzzzzzz

I always think that the winners of Strictly should have memorable dances. Mark Ramprakash, Louis Smith etc. Last year I felt Caroline was fab but I can't pick a stand out performance. That's why I think Kellie and Kevin, however good won't win. My money's still on Jay and Aliona coz of that stand out jive.

Loved Alex the best tonight. Kevin was too manic I agree - there was no need to go that fast. Very OTT.

Carol to go out next I think.

Alex?

Didn't think it was fair that Katie got all the flak for that Salsa - when I actually didn't think Anton danced it all that well, and the choreography was weak. Anton needs help with choreography.

I forgot Anita

That's why I think it's so unfair that she gets all the early slots.

Oh sorry, Anita is the one I loved the best - not Alex

Good point sooty

I love how happy Jeremy Vine is to be there, he just looks delighted the whole time, grinning and carried away with it then trying to keep a straight face. He looks like he loves every minute and that's what makes him entertaining.

For the Foxtrot the ladies should have long floaty sleeves which enhance the grace and flow needed for this dance.
Carol's dress did her no favours at all, I'm afraid.

I also shouted at the screen when in the quicksteps the camera angle cut off the feet . I know it is difficult for the cameramen and they have been better this year but I want to see the feet especially in the quickstep all the time.

Hepizar - welllll, Carols got a lot to give in the competition. She's been on a journey. She's very smiley and nive. mostly I love Pasha

I really wanted to like Kirsty, I'm so disappointed.

I always thought she was alright but she's really annoyed me this week. She was on ITT practising her VW this week and saying to Brendan "oh, I'm rather good at these spins".

Then tonight, chuntering all the way through while the judges are giving her comments. Just be quiet and let them speak.

I can't get my head around Helen's personality either. She's a good dancer but when she talks she comes across like a character out of Toy Story or something, she's just bizarre.

I thought I would really like Helen but there is something about her I find a bit odd, don't know what it is or how to explain it.

My mum absolutely loves her - I text her WOW when Jay danced and she replied - 'I told you she was good'.

She'd paused it at some point and thought Helen had finally convinced me

I'm just really frustrated by the judges favouritism for some dances. Helen can do no wrong. Jamelia's mess ups got far higher marks than Jays last week iirc?
Also I feel that they're harsh on Georgia
And Anton is letting Katie down in the Latin

She just looks false. Like a wooden doll with a painted face. That sounds bitchy and I don't mean it to but that's what her face looks like to me when she's grinning and gurning away.

Botox? I wondered today whether it might be too much botox.

I think its just stage school luvvie-itis.

She always seems to be on the verge of going "GEE GOLLY GOSH! LITTLE 'OL ME??!"

It's the wide-eyed faux naif vibe Helen adopts that I don't like. She must know that she's a good dancer but she assumes this "oh my god, I'm so shocked" attitude whenever she's praised. In fairness, a lot of them do that to some extent, but (here endeth the fairness!) she's the one who irritates me the most!
