SCD#6 - Sequins Galore

[Fiderer]

And on we dance ...

I think he's hot BUT in that dance he was thinking of himself

Agreed - the whole shirt ripping thing was all about him and was hot when he ought to be focussing on playing to Anita's strengths.

On the other hand - I'm sure some of the votes for Anita are there because people want to see Gleb carry on

Glad you said that about the choreography, ppeat cos I did wonder.

Having heard/read so much about Les Mis & looked it up I was a bit surprised to read it's about the French revolution, poverty, prostitution & general horrible misery.

I know most operas are about trouble & cruelty & a woman often ends up flinging herself off a castle wall at the end (often depending on the soprano with me willing her to get on with it) - but the enthusiasm most people seem to have for Les Mis (knowing it of by heart etc.) led me to believe it wasn't all gloom & doom.

More of a High Society, The Music Man et al. gal myself.

Amazing to think that Anita is roughly the same age as Kellie. Kellie looks about ten years older. Not being mean, but she's not aged well. I still remember her as Charlie's daughter from the Upper Hand. Completley OT, but I loved that show when I was a kid .

Me too Glittery

Love that expression from a previous poster " geriatric duffers". Can't stop chuckling and I've recently joined that club.

Yes I was quite shocked at how young Kellie really is. I think she looks older than me!

Have you seen Kellies abs though dd1 does weight training she had ab envy the other week. I think Kellie has a normal 40yr old face and i think Anita has a not a wrinkle for the tail end of 30 face some women just have those faces

Yes Kellie does have amazing abs, and she's not long had a child as well. She just do weight training to get them like that, surely?

Ref. Kelly's figure, I reckon she has problems with wardrobe because she has no bust, so a bit boyish up top. The already made old dresses that are resorted to when there's no time or budget for making new ones will have been for women with boobs .

Interesting about looking her age, she is brave not being botoxed or whatever. I respect her for that alone. We are used to the telly having so so many people's faces being smoothed out like 14 yr olds without acne that we comment on a few wrinkles

Someone said last week that Kellie manages to look both older and younger than she is at the same time.

She's definitely had the short straw with the outfits this year, the clothes she wears in EE are more flattering (and she's supposed to look a bit cheap as well).

im not too keen on her really, but it could be KFGs annoyingness rubbing off.

I think Kellie's apparent age is down to lack of sleep. I've seen on on ITT on a Monday and she looked so much younger, so I assume she had got to sleep for most of Sunday. It sounds like, between training, her day job and a non-sleeping young child, she's lucky to manage four or five hours sleep in 24. Lack of sleep definitely adds about a decade to my face, so I'm sure it's the same for her.

The EE lot always peak too soon, they burn themselves out doing the big Christmas/New Year stories and dancing training. plus KFG is pretty full on. Always doing the super fast show-offy stuff.

Whathisname Jack Branning looked like dreadful at the end of his run.

Yes, I think KFG probably doesn't build in much rest time to the training routine, but I don't think Kellie would take much rest anyway. She seems pretty determined and driven.

I think if I were a celeb and was asked to do Strictly, I would only do it on condition that I didn't get Anton (because he's smarmy and irritating) or KFG (because he's hyper and irritating). A few years ago I wouldn't have wanted Brendan either, but I think he's mellowed a bit now.

Movember - I have given way to much thought to who I would want to get if i found myself in the position of being unexpectedly famous.

It would be Aljaz, wouldn't it Redcrayons? He's such a gorgeous dancer, and I bet he never gets tetchy with his celeb partner. (Excuse my seasonal name change, it's me, Movember.)

I would totally have it written in my contract that I would refuse to do it unless I could have Aljaz.

Oh to be a celebrity...

1. Bring Artem back
2. Aljaz
3. Pasha
4. Gleb
5. Tristan

Tbh I'm more 'Anton' material though.

I miss Artem

I miss Artem too. Why did he leave? Has he gone to the same show in a different country?

Artem has been doing Dancing With The Stars In the US.

If I was unexpectedly famousandinvitedonstrictly I'd want Pasha or Tristan - but in my fantasy I would be a brilliant captivating dancer, in reality I would be the geriatric duffer/comedy turn, so would probably get Anton.

I do feel that poor Kellie hasn't been dressed to suit her shape - she doesn't have much bust and has probably lost weight and gained muscle up top during the course of the show. I think being an actress (i.e used to dressing for character) she probably isn't vain and is pretty professional so just gets on with it and makes the most of what she's given. I can imagine others throwing a big old wobbly lip strop given some of the hideousness Kellie has had to put up with.

I think tonight may have a split in judges opinion as to who stays. I think that's only happened once this series? I'm hoping Helen goes...

Late to last night's party as I had a thing.

Why oh why oh why oh why does Helen never go first? Not only that but she's always near the end if not last on.

I thought Jay was amazing and I liked Anita's Argentine Tango. I could see that her legs weren't as good as in training but she carried it off.

Although Kevin and Kellie have been growing on me, I didn't like their VW. Wouldn't want to watch it again.

And much to dd' chagrin, Katie did rather well didn't she?

I can't call it. But yes, I can see that the judges might be split tonight.

My prediction is Kellie and Helen in the bottom two, Kellie to go.
