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

the salsa is dreadful tonight. The best one was John. He danced to a really good salsa track which helps.

Spoiler thread if you want it.
I just had a quick look at the first page and they are mostly ... erm ... 'commenting' on the dress that Tess is wearing!

tess dalys dresses are usually very comment worthy...this weeks is a classy bin bag

Well an entertaining night. I'm still waiting for something that matches anything that Mark or Matt did last year (can't remember at what point Mark did that fabulous Tango).

I thought John was good (but didn't warrant a 10...Len got a bit carried away there). I still voted for him.

Gethin was wonderful (am I picking up on some luuuurve vibes there with Camilla...or was the dance just very romantic).

I thought Kenny was alright. lol @ the words to flower of Scotland Tigerschick.

Kate was just bad. Letitia not so good this week.

I'm thinking Letitia and Penny in the bottom two (although Kate obviously deserves to go, those loons who keep voting for her will probably be pressing their redial buttons frantically now).

Tess, I suspect, also cannot dance for toffee.

What do you think?

I concur Margot, I concur.

And who is more irritating, Tess or Brucey? Bruce usually wins down but Tess is starting to get right up my proverbials.

I thought Tess' dress was repectful for the weekend we are in, ie black and unrevealing.

not read much oif this thread, but I love this programme. What are the thoughts on Kelly Brooke? I don't rate her much, but she seems a bit of a darling as far as the judges are concerned. If they would look past eh (not very good) actresses expressions, I think they would realise she isn't too hot a dancer

I'm voting for Kenny....most improved out of the lot of em, and maybe a slow burner like darren gough was a couple of series ago?

Kenny's final smile in that waltz looked as though he was going to rip the throat out of the viewers
Ds who is only 8 has Kelly taped as a mock-modest steely phoney.
Dd is still greeting for Lilia
Even though I love Anton, Kate has to go this week. Her performance really was dire. Everyone else left can dance. She can't.

Marina, I think your ds is spot on re Kelly. I wanted to slap her this week (although must admit she danced pretty well)

Don't get this whole voting for Anton thing ????? Is he not just the most false irritating person ever, at least with Brendan you get genuine arrogance. And his real name is Tony Beak.....
Loved Gethin and Barnsey, not a great night for the girls.

Is that true about Anton's real name? Oh I so, so hope that is true

Actually, I really WANT to hate Kelly Brook but actually I think she is really quite a good dancer, i think she genuinely dances rather than performing a string of moves, which the others sometimes can. I think she has something. Much as I wish she didn't, as I think Marina's son is dead right about her as a person.

I think Letitia Dean comes accross as such a sweetie and I loved her dance last week, I really want her to do well.

Just remembered something that was on IT2 earlier in the week ...
Alesha and James confessed that about 20 seconds of their foxtrot was made up on the spot because they went wrong. Apparently James just said "follow me" and she did! No one, not even the judges, knew. Now, to me, that shows that the girl can dance!

Tiger - Sad as I am I watched the clip on ITT in slow motion and you can see a look of shock on his face and he said something to Alesha. I'm in awe of Alesha, that she's able to wing it so beautifully.

Tony Beak

Kelly - I still have a bit of sympathy left for her from the Big Breakfast days - I think she's got to have a thick skin by now! She danced very well this week.

I've got a real thing for "the Gethin" now!

Well I love Len - the voice of reason amongst those snarling divas!!!

The spoiler results are out on Digital Spy. I am in despair at the GBP voters, can't wait to see the judges reactions to this one!

Mrs Tweedy no spoilers please.

Some of us can hold on until sunday evening for our results

Did I say anything? No, I didn't even post a link! I wouldn't be so mean!

Well the word despair in your previous post has left me with an uncomfortable (and yet strangely resigned to it) feeling in the pit of my stomach

Sorry , I'll get me coat!

I agree Sobernow, it's an entertainment show rather than a dance competition. But I'm more entertained by either the really good dancers, or the dancers that start out crap and then really improve.

Kate is neither. And her whole 'Oh I'm so jolly crap, girly giggle, hide behind fingers, grin and eye lid bat at Anton' has got wearing to the point of turn the telly off irritation levels.

I read that about 'Tony Beak' - hilarious!

Tiger - I thought Len said that Kenny's waltz was his best dance not the best waltz. Anton puzzles me, he seems to have a bigger personality than that of a celebrity's dance partner. I think it's partly because I see him and think about that Welsh comedian that was the driving instructor- I can't remember his name. Also I am fancying the pants off Darren Cutler - Alesha's partner. I haven't lusted after anyone so much since I was a teenager and discovered Keifer Sutherland. I think he must be married to Barnsey's partner - somehow they don't seem suited.

I think they have split up.
