Strictly Come Dancing

[ChorusLine]

I am so looking forward to this years show! Anyone else? I know its not everyone's cup of tea but I so look forwrad to seeing the outfits as well!

I have heard that the following are on it:

Letitia Dean
Willie Thorn
Kelly Brook (supposedly with Brendan Cole)
Alesha Dixon
Kenny & Gaby Logan
Penny Lancaster
Gethin Jones
Kate Garroway
John Barnes
Stephanie Beacham
Dominic Littlewood

I have to say, that I think Alesha is quite sweet and is a gorgeously graceful and naturally talented dancer but she is starting to annoy me a bit with all the stupid R&B chick stuff

the toe-curlingly cringesome raps etc

I was watching Austin Powers Gold member yesterday whilst ironing and Dominic bears an uncanny likeness to mini me.

I'm not sad that he went.

Can see the mini me thing, I personally think he looks like a ferengi or whatever they're called from star trek.

So ladies. Have just watched the It Takes Two Dom and Lilia Love In!! Was she lying? Does she really love the Cheeky Chap?

Well, oxocube - there was about a foot of sofa between them and at the end of the interview he looked like he wanted to kiss/hug her and she very deliberately didn't look at him. But the tape showed her saying how much she loved him ... I may be doing him a dis-service but I don't think she likes him, at least not any more.

No, she loathes the cheeky chap no matter what she says. What's with cheeky anyway? At the risk of being labeled sizist, he is an absolutely typical loud, short, sort of a bloke. He behaved like a petulant plonker though he did work hard on the bull dance.
Aleesha and the dance were absolutely magical, It takes two, quite addicitve. We can watch something to do with the show EVERY night. Put it on Skyplus with a series link.........When does Celebrity Get Me Out of Here start? And I do have a life. Just don't sleep much!

Yeah, Alesha should turn down the put on laugh and rapper attitude - it doesn't sit well with how good she is on the dance-floor, and it looks like Matthew wants her to say a little less

The all good mates was a bit of a joke on IT2 last night. I'd say Lilia is just as much of a sore looser - remember she has been in the final/semi-final each series she's been in. I won't miss them. Starting to root for Letita.

But Lilia is amazing.

I think that Matt and Flavia will win with Aleesha in the final with them.

Didnt see the show and was sooo dispointed as i would have liked to see Kelly and Brendan being taken down a peg or two.

Love Kenny and Leticia too.

I like Lilia. I missed It takes 2 last night though so it is interesting to me to hear she was still claiming to like him .
He definately had a case of sour grapes on Saturday and that won't have helped his cause with the viewers or the judges. No great loss imo.

Bumping ready for the weekend.

Do you like my Strictly Come dancing name?

Just watched 3 pre recorded episodes of ITT this morning (whilst ironing).

My feelings (as wife of Len) are:
John Barnes looks good, as does Alisha and Penny in the salsa.

Gethin (welsh dream boat) could be good in the Viennese waltz.

Kate - bleugh
Kenny - bleugh (and Flower of Scotland as the music...could we be any less subtle for 'let's go for the Scottish vote')
Kelly - hmm not sure, think they are still trying to be too clever

Not sure on the others.

Will return at 6pm for the show. Am looking forward to tonight.

Slubberwifeoflen, Lol, great name!
Looking forward to Barneseys dance, I think his hip action will be really good.

Yes ranting, he has a lovely relaxed hip action.

I hope he won't be in the bottom two.

Missed It Takes Two yesterday, but rooting for Gethin and Matt! Pleeeeaaassseee let Kate be out this week!

No I don't think so. the judges (esp Arlene) have a real soft spot for him so unless he totally buggers up he should be OK (I suspect he has quite a good public following as well).

Looking at the ITT little bits of them all practicing then it should be Kenny and Kate at the bottom (going on what the judges were saying)....but if the whole of Scotland votes for Kenny, and every GMTV viewer for Kate (not sure how Scottish GMTV viewers will vote) then anyone could be in the dance off.

Not Gethin, please not Gethin (mind you he has the Welsh and Blue Peter factions behing him so he's probably safe)

In the paper, today that with the public support Kate appears to have could she go all the way??????????

Am I alone in thinking a lot of people might be voting for Anton rather than her, and if they did win she would think she did it???

I'll write a letter to the editor of the Times in disgust if Kate gets through to the final. I'll boycott the final.

What is this following for Anton? He does nothing for me whatsoever, he's just a bit creepy in the practice sessions in his nicely starched shirt and tie. Wear a t-shirt like everyone else ffs man.

I agree about Kenny using 'Flower of Scotland' - I thought the Viennese waltz was supposed to be a romantic dance, not exactly Mills and Boone is it?!

If Barnes is in the bottom 2 he should be OK unless there is a real shock and someone like Matt, Gethin or Alesha is there with him.

I think Kenny & Kate will be in the bottom 2 tonight

Can't wait for tonight.
Matt to win
DH is v jealous, he keeps on telling me to "shut up, he's only a boy!!!"

Well Kate was a bit weird I thought. Looked like her thoughts were elsewhere.

John was so cute- like a big smiley teddy bear

I think that Kate was back to her old tricks, sadly. That's sadly for us by the way!

I'm a little confused by Len as he said that Kenny's was the best Waltz of the night but scored it lower than Gethin's! Now I think that the scores were correct but not the comments - again there is disparity between the comments and the scores.

At least he stood by it when he said that John's was the best dance so far and then gave him that 10 just now!
