Strictly Come Dancing

[themoon66]

I thought this started on 20th Sept. DH reckons he's seen a trailer saying it is tomorrow!

Does anyone know anything about this????

Please not Angela Rippon. That would be even worst than Bruce.

Karen's facial expressions are sooo irritating. I also agree she thinks she should be judging as she is sooo great!

I would rather Karen was judging than Arlene. Forget Bruce being irritating, Arlene takes the biscuit. I can't bear her ridiculous metaphors. She spends the whole dance just trying to think of something clever and emphatic to say just so SHE can get a round of applause. Sometimes I just have to turn the sound down for her bits. I wish they would get rid of her.

..hmm, do you think I'm a bit TOO irritated about this topic?

I'm beginning to think I'm getting too involved. This is the first year I've made dp sit through the early stages, and I've also made ITT "my programme" and dd is starting to know that I won't be reading her any books while it's on.

What will I do once it's over?

it's Arlene's scratchy voice -never mind what she says - that irritates me

agree mrsbabookaloo, arlene's cheesy comments are really annoying. Funny though that although so many things about this programme annoy me, I'm still totally hooked!

Can't wait to see Mark Foster try to do Latin. Before I saw him dance I found him attractive, but no way do I now!

Surely it would have made sense for the ones who did ballroom in the first week to do Latin next and vice versa ... so why is John doing the Tango? That's the ballroom one, and he did the Waltz in the first week. Just a thought; but it does mean that we can't second guess who will be doing which dance.

That's a bit odd, as some people are good at the ballroom but rubbish at latin, so that would mean they're likely to stay in longer

Conspiracy theory? Surely John will perform better in the ballroom ...
Oh, sod it. I like John and if someone has twisted the schedule a little to his advantage then so be it

I like John too - he seems so nice

John's adorable. As is his platinum blonde. Nuff said.

I totally agree about Arlene. The iritating thing she does with her hands, flapping them about like a beached goldfish makes me just want to slice them off. She hasn't decided who this year's crush is yet has she? Do you think she's hanging on for a couple of weeks so she doesn't do the Granny Drool over a loser?

granny drool lol

@ Granny Drool!!
I just watched ITT from last night on the iPlayer - ROFL at CRH's comment about how Arlene always over-marks men with big muscles Sooo true!

Nothing was said about Cherie's previous training - I guess they don't want to draw attention to the gossip (unless it was mentioned last week as I didn't see any of it then).

Oh, and, I love Claudia but that dress was too short - sorry, just had to say something about it ...

I love Claudia but that dress wasn't good. A bit desperate almost.

Cherie has had dance training!?

I've just watched ITT. Vincent really is a knob, isn't he? It's lucky he's got Flavia to dance with - they look great together.
And I love Claudia.

Awww although Vincent is a tw*t - I thought the way he was hugging all the old grannies was nice! Flavia is fab.

Loved the "glamour" of what the dancers get up to in the break, eh.

it all just looks as though it's great fun - scary but fun

I'm a bit worried about Claudia. No wedding ring and she's lost a lot of weight - looks a bit drawn.

she is also lightly hysterical at times (last night with that Rufus Hound, for example)

slightly though 'lightly' quite good too

I thought she was a bit hysterical too. He was funny, but she was going a bit crazy

Yes I thought she was going to jump his bones.

Eurgh!

I love Vincent , I think he's hilarious.

Agree Rufus was funny but not that funny

What a pair Andrew and Gary were today

Meant to say about Saturday - is it just me, or does anyone think that Hayley wasn't as good as some of the other dancers? May just be that ballroom is her thing rather than latin?

I think Erin's latin the other night was a bit lacking tbh having watched it back.
Vincent is odd but he and Flavia make a fab dance couple.
The shot of Jodie and he dancing together was hilarious though.
