Thought about mentioning Halloween Hell in the title but it's a Sunday morning and some of us may be feeling delicate enough.

Aliona isn't too bad this year, she was a bit pouty and whiny in the past when she had partners who couldn't dance.

emotionsecho · 26/10/2015 20:34

I loved Joanne Clifton's explanations of the moves. Was it last year she danced with Scott Mills and was bent over backwards, for what seemed like ages, in the Halloween dance whilst he 'wound' her upright? My flabber was truly ghasted at how she managed to do that and still look elegant.

ppeatfruit · 26/10/2015 20:46

Yes Joanne was brilliant, so clear in her explanations.

I get the impression that both couples on ITT tonight have been a touch over enthusiastic with their chemistry sets!!!!! Halloween Wink

I wonder how bad Scott mills would have been if he'd been with someone like Ola or Aliona?!

I didn't take to Jo Clifton last series, but I really enjoyed listening to her on ITT this evening.

Lotta I agree. Anton should have been sacked there and then.

I think I might have to watch Jeremy doing the salsa next week from behind a cushion.

Lottapianos · 26/10/2015 20:58

Jeremy's doing a salsa? God almighty. It will either be the funniest thing ever or one of those things that you desperately wish you could unsee.

I must be the only person in the world who couldn't stand Mark Ramprakash. His 'nice humble guy' routine seemed so fake. He was a good dancer but there wasn't much passion there. He just left me cold. Love Karen though

IthoughtATMwasacashpoint · 26/10/2015 21:24

I've just rewatched Anton and Katy's salsa. I think you need to see it again for his sheer awfulness to sink in.

Why, with a halfway decent partner, is he still doing the silly and remarkably unamusing 'funny' bits. Like the painful hobble thing. I felt embarrassed for him.

IthoughtATMwasacashpoint · 26/10/2015 21:26

Lotta You're not the only one. I didn't like Mark very much at all. He lacked that sparkle and touch of mischief that I loved about Harry Judd.

GruntledOne · 26/10/2015 21:41

emotionsecho, they always used to get a specialist in to teach people the Argentine Tango, I don't know whether that's still the case. So I doubt that Karen Hardy would want to take all the credit for choreographing or teaching the AT she did with Mark Ramprakash.

IthoughtATMwasacashpoint · 26/10/2015 23:02

Wow - that is all

emotionsecho · 27/10/2015 00:56

I'm sure Karen wouldn't take all the credit GruntledOne but I still think it shows how good she was.

I remember when they had two salsa champions in to teach the salsa as a group dance and James Martin described the man as a miniature Gordon RamseyGrin.

Lottapianos · 27/10/2015 06:25

Yay ATM! Really thought I was the only one. Couldn't warm to him at all

ppeatfruit · 27/10/2015 07:57

It would be humanly impossible to be an proper expert in every dance, Anton is a fool if he doesn't take advice for the Latin dances.

Yes exactly ATM he was hauling poor Katie like a sack of potatoes, it was embarrassing.

Rightsaid She won it in 2010.

IthoughtATMwasacashpoint · 27/10/2015 11:03

I wonder why he felt the need to share this

ppeatfruit · 27/10/2015 11:41

Yes thanks for that link ATM it had me in tears too !!! She is unbelievable and not a pro !!!! Shock

pearpotter · 27/10/2015 11:43

a bit too 'minkzy'

Is it possible to be too minxy? :)

SheHasAWildHeart · 27/10/2015 12:55

I liked Jo Clifton! Does anyone know if she dances with a male 'spare' pro dancer in the pro dances? It's driving me mad that I can't spot the spare man!

Neil Jones sometimes dances in the group dances at the start of Sunday's shows. He's also a choreographer for the show.

Wow, Nicole's dance was incredible. No wonder she won.

Catching up on last night's ITT. Natalie nearly made me cry. She's so lovely.

KurriKurri · 27/10/2015 13:00

Oh God - no pants - that actually makes me feel a little bit sick Shock

I see PA has an album of swing songs out - obviously we'll all be popping that on our Christmas wish lists. (and hoping Santa thinks we've been too naughty to receive it)

IthoughtATMwasacashpoint · 27/10/2015 13:58

I think I'd go out and do something incredibly bad just to make sure.

JuanPotatoTwo · 27/10/2015 16:47

Well I went to lunch today at the restaurant dd saw Pasha and Carole and I can report ... nothing :(

Blimey, Juan, there goes your chance of being recruited by MI6.

Could you not have managed a casual "Looks like rain"?

Oh I forgot for any Zoe fans she's standing in for Ken Bruce on R2 at 9.30 am this week. She's sweet.
