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????

Claudia, love her...but to me her dress sence seems a bit ...erm...not so good....however I consider myself clueless, lol

conspiracy theory....rather possible...

Arleene, bless her...has the same nonexistent charm as that dragons dens woman(Deborah Meadon???)...both are probably lovely in person but don't come across great on tv...

Vincent is typically italian, I think....the italian blokes I do know are like him anyway well not dancing wise, lol--

Rachel Stevens make up was trowled on tonight on ITT. She looks lovely without it.

My dd and ds are now going round licking their fingers and doing Vincent's eyebrow thing. They think it is hilarious.

On the ballroom/latin thing:

Austin - Waltz then Jive
Don - Cha cha then Tango
Tom - Cha cha then ???
Mark - Waltz then Tango
John - Waltz then Tango
Andrew - Cha cha then Jive
Gary - Cha cha then Jive

So there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it, which is daft! I can't remember which one Tom is doing this Saturday, but of the others, only Austin and Don are doing the oposite style from the dance they did last week!

My dh is Italian, he has been doing that eyebrow thing too(not in public) except its not so cute on a man pushing 50
I blame myself for making him watch the strictly...

Finally watched ITT last night. How boring was that bit about Gary R's day? All that 'here he is entering another building' & 'here he is getting into another car' Dull-o. I wanted more gossip & more time to decide if I like Claudia's hair.

What I thought was interesting was that we had Gary and GMTV-man moaning about how hard it is and what perfectionists they are and shouldn't we feel sorry for the poor little bunnies. No wonder their partners were shouting and being mean to them. But notably, neither Karen nor Ola rocked up. Oooooh, should we read anything into that?

I still think Vincent's a knob. That bit of meeting all the grannies was so staged.

Just catching up with last night's ITT now.

Rhodes = knob. Karen hates him, I think

Castle - double-knob. And what's with the brillo pad hair?

They're both taking themsleves far too seriously, it's a bit pathetic.

You see - the conspiracy theory ... Rhodes and Castle both made to do the latin dances in the first 2 weeks - easier to look a twonk doing latin??

Trouble is: they don't know for certain who is going to be good and who is going to be crap less good before they start, but the order of dances is already decided ...

I bet they both get kicked out before John "the Sarge" Sargeant. And Jelly Wallace to get booted out before him too.

watched itt tonight...claudia seems like she's on drugs. can't remember if that's her usual setting or not though.

great shoes.

LOL cyteen! Will have to wait until tomorrow evening to watch it on the iplayer - I'm always a day behind with ITT.

Nope, Claudia has definitely turned up the wacky dial. She was a bit scary tonight, in fact. She's got terribly bags under eyes, too

Gorgeous shoes though.

God, I loved her shoes

I think they were Christian Louboutin

I couldn;rt see the red soles on them.

She wore afabbo green blouse last year too. It was gorgeous.

she verges on the near hysterical but I do like the way she announces her guests , not unlike Kermit on The Muppet Show - you listen tomorrow !

oooh, I saw the red soles, lovely

Can I join by the way, please? Love Strictly.

Hey Accidental, I reckon all are welcome as long as they're fans!
Ok, missed this evening (hot date, what can I say). So pleeeease, describe the shoes - as the owner of TWO pairs Louboutin shoes, I feel I have ownership...Long story..present....exDH..but they're beautiful.

And should we be worrying about the lovely Claudia?

They were very high, spiky heels, black patent, ?slight platform. Definite red soles. I won't lie to you, they were lush

I heart Claud utterly but she is looking ill, imo.

Loved Claudia's shoes and dress last night. I wish I could walk in shoes that high and spikey, never mind dance in them!

Ooooohhhhhh Goooooooddddddd, those shoes. Not a shoe person until Claude hits the screen....then [drool]
Much more hysterical laughing this year than previous from her tho' - clue as to mental/emotional state.
They seem to be doing quite a few interviews this year with just slebs (no pros) - I wonder if this frees the pros up to reherse their group dances etc. Their work load is truly horrendous. Last week, Brian danced with sleb, then with 2 new girls, then group pro dance and dance to Sugababes. When do they eat & sleep????

Got to join this thread as not only do i love SCD, Flavia, Ola and Claudia, i am also drooling over the shoes!! just to die for...so how much would a pair set me back and are there any stockists in Somerset???

Please please please. Someone post a link to a photo of these shoes. I missed last night, so I can only imagine.
