He's a gem, I'll be voting for him even if he falls over.

Which he will. He's as talentless in this respect as a....dancing ass!
Love him normally, thought all gay men were complete foxes on the dancefloor.

me too SD, me and my sis think your sis is just like him, she knows, we told her years ago and she was flattered.

good Blush, they're both lovely!

I want Jill to win just cause I know someone who knows her. Wink

JoolsTide · 10/12/2004 15:52

well I love him - but this is a dancing competition so he doesn't really deserve to win - I'm hoping Jill wins - Denise is good but I think she and her partner Ian are both a bit conceited!

spacedonkey · 10/12/2004 15:53

Jill is certainly the best dancer, but Julian is just, just ... so adorable

imo Denise lacks grace. It's like watching Arnold Schwarzenegger dance.

lol!

DelGirlsRingAreYouListening · 10/12/2004 15:56

I shall be sneaking in a vote for Jill as well but I reckon he'll get the vote for charm. Saw Julian on stage about 3 times in the late 80's with Fanny, he hasn't changed at all, except less make up.

spacedonkey · 10/12/2004 16:05

Bless him, he's a treasure.

Wish I was in Liverpool as he's playing Leigh Bowerey in the wonderful Taboo.

MariNativityPlay · 10/12/2004 16:15

OMG, in a fat suit, surely gscrym?

Want Jill to win. She's the one who genuinely make me think "Cor, really wish I could dance like that". Denise is a bit frosty for me. Much as I like JC, he can't win!

WigWamBam · 12/12/2004 11:44

But apparently Jill trained as a dancer - the others didn't. Something not fair about that IMHO

popsycal · 12/12/2004 11:49

SHe has never done ballroom and latin in her life

spacedonkey · 12/12/2004 11:50

It was the right result (I did vote twice for Julian though). Jill is class!

popsycal · 12/12/2004 11:52

Put it this way - I have had as much dance training as Jill (AND I have done ballroom and latin before whereas she hasnt) and I can't dance like that.

cupcakes · 12/12/2004 11:58

I don't think that her level of previous experience put her at any unfair advantage. It was a very unequal playing field to begin with - how could Quentin Wilson ever begin to match up with Olympic atheletes?

I voted for her and Julian - because he had shown such improvement. I wanted her to win though because her quick step made me cry it was so good (I was premenstrual though!Grin)

WigWamBam · 12/12/2004 12:00

OK, OK - I did say it was just my opinion. I still think that putting a trained dancer into a dancing competition against people with no dance training whatsoever is a bit unfair.

Just an opinion, please don't jump down my throat Smile

popsycal · 12/12/2004 12:00

Oh WWB - i wasn't honey! Just saying....:)

Denise was better last night, but it's still like watching Arnie dance I'm afraid (imo!). Jill is just so graceful. I think her stage background must put her at some advantage, yes, but then again Denise's athleticism gives her an advantage of a different kind. Denise is gorgeous isn't she - not an ounce of fat on her (BIYATCH!).
