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

John and Kelly in the dance off, for me < also avoiding the spoiler..>. Kelly - has it all any way, and doesn't have a 'core vote' in the country..always scored well with the judges, but now she is vulnerable to the Great British Public!!

LOL - I like reading the "Spoiler" thread for the general chat. I have never (yet ) given in and read the actual spoiler. It's done very well: you have little grey boxes over the actual spoiler so you really have to want to know in order to read it.

I was very impressed with the standard tonight.
My only gripe is with the judges. As I said earlier, they had a go at Gethin then gave him decent scores. They did the same with Kelly and gave her reasonable scores. After the tongue lashing that Kelly got I was expecting 5s and 6s not 7s!

I think it will be Kenny and John in the dance off or maybe one of them and Letitia she's 4th - mid-table again.

I'd love to see Kelly in the dance off. Did anyone see her on IT2 last night? She had her shoes sitting on the settee next to her and then 'shyly' () drew attention to them because her feet are so swollen due to all the training

I can not be doing with Brendan complaining at the judges that they only had a few hours to train - that is not the judges' fault, it is their job to judge what they see on the night. And everyone is doing the group dance, that is no excuse!

Thing is tho that the judges would definitely save her.

BTW - did you know that you can watch all the routines on the BBC website? This week's aren't up yet, understandably. Even the group and pro dances are there.

Tiger - did you also hear Kellys' snipe at Karen Hardy and her opinion of her judging?

I voted for Letitia today - it's the first time I voted this series, I think she deserves to be there next week.

My heart (like Brunos) was racing after both Aleshas and Matts dance.

They were both great.

I am bad - I do read the spoiler thread.

Phwoooaarr chuck me bucket of cold water. How hot and sexy was matt?

Yes, I totally agree Margo.
I was not at all impressed by either Brendan or Kelly on last night's show or tonight's. What are they trying to prove? Claudia did her best to move on but Brendan would not let it go that Karen had dared to say anything less than wonderful about their dancing - despite the fact that Claudia admitted picking up on the only negative point that Karen had made!

The dances from last night are now on the BBC, thanks TC.

Totally agree with all of the comments below, but can't agree with Arlene that Matt is the new Ramps! Matts salsa was technically more difficult than Ramps, but for sheer danceability is not in the same league yet, surely?!

i was actually disappointd by Alesha's dance - have such high expectations of her. I think Matt was definitely the best of the night - and remember he had no dance experience at all - definitely a Rampakash IMO! He and Flavi look so stunning together - think of the babies they would make.

Kelly. Boring. she better not be in the final.

CAn't tell you how much I want Kelly to be in the dance off!

Roll on tonight. Kelly has to be in the dance off: She has to learn that she can't survive on her tits and teeth, she has to actually put some practice in!

Thought Matt and Flavia's dance was outstanding.

I have never been so tempted to read the spoiler!
I daren't even look at the thread incase someone has posted something that gives it away!
Despite my predictions of last night I'd love to see Kelly in the dance off tho I am certain the judges would save her - so I hope she isn't in it with John!

Don't worry about the spoiler thread giving anything away - no-one has heard from anyone who was at the show yet (as of first thing this morning) so the results aren't on there. There is a lot of chat about the difference between the judges comments and the expert commentary (Anton du Beke). Anton said both Letitia and Alesha made a lot of mistakes. People also thought Len was far too harsh and personal in his remarks to Kelly, even though she seems to have few fans on there, as on here. I don't understand why people are so bitchy about her. I think she's beautiful and a great dancer - Brendan doesn't do her any favours with his choreography or arguing with the judges.

I was disappointed with Aleshas dance, and thought top marks should have went to Matt. I think no female professional can touch Flavia for choreography, and their chemistry is pretty hot too...

I listened to the professional commentary on John Barnes and it was quite different to what the judges thought (ie. Anton du Beke was saying how his bottom half wan't as good as top half)

Thought Matt and Flavia's dance was definately the best. A bit that they didn't get the 3, 10's. Aleshia was still great but at Lens' comment that it was her best dance so far, I though last weeks ballroom (can't remember what type it was) was just beautiful.

I voted for Matt (the best dance) and Gethin because he is still so dreaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmy, and he and Cammila do look so lovely together.

What were brendan and Kelly doing. Even my 3 year old, who is in love with Kelly (because she looks like Belle from beauty and the beast) said at the end "oh that was rubbish. Not being influenced by her mothers comments at all

I did it again - I looked the temptation was too much. Someone slap my wrists please?

A bit of punctuation would help.

I did it again - I looked. The temptation was too much. Someone slap my wrists please?

So it's there now is it?
I'll definitely avoid it in that case.
Only four and a half hours to go ...

< sits on hands to avoid clicking on spoiler>

Dirty Dancing routine EXCELLENT.
What will will we do when this show ends!

OMG sooo glad Kelly is in the bottom 2, Can't wait for the result unfortunately `I think John will go

Kelly is miles better than John

Like her or hate her Kelly is a bloody good dancer and certainly didn't deserve to go out tonight. John is a good dancer but the general standard this year is too high for him to remain.

Brendan is filth!
