Lilia is so lovely

TALLULAHBELLE · 19/10/2008 20:55

Can't believe Andrew Castle made it through. Unbearable.

Febes · 19/10/2008 20:56

I'm so sad I realy liked Don and Lilia.

TALLULAHBELLE · 19/10/2008 20:57

Agree with Len. Would have kept Don.

mabanana · 19/10/2008 20:57

Ah sad. I love Don, he has such a mournful face!

beansprout · 19/10/2008 20:59

Ooh, did not expect that!

Febes · 19/10/2008 21:00

Did you just see that CIN ad with Anton in drag I can't wait for that!!!

bythepowerofgreyskull · 19/10/2008 21:00

I wish there were fewer GMTV viewers.. Andrew really should have gone.

MorticiaAnnSpookington · 19/10/2008 21:19

aww, loved Don and Lilia - I love Brian too though.

MARGOsBeenPlayingWithMyNooNoo · 19/10/2008 21:34

I thought the song Mark and Hayley danced to sounded horrendous ("Spice up your life") and added to the chaos.

I loved Johns dance. I agree with an earlier post, Kristina was very a clever choreographer. She stayed within his limits, played up to his personality and didn't make him look stupid. I laughed the whole way through. It was so entertaining. I know it wasn't good technically but you'd have thought the judges would acknowledge the entertainment value.

I agree re. James and Cheries dance. I felt they were trying to bring out the Wild West era rather than Hollywood Glam. The dress and song reminded me of Jodie Foster in Maverick.

I thought Heather fluffed her dance off. I'm sad Dom went.

Aleshas song is very catchy. I loved the whole performance.

squeaver · 19/10/2008 21:43

Oh I really like that wee Fiat they had at their wedding.

Poor Darren and Lilia this year - both out early. Bet they'll both get good dancers next year.

Andrew Castle - aaaaaarrghhhh!!!!!!

pinkteddy · 19/10/2008 21:46

Margo I thought Heather fluffed dance off too. I couldn't understand why the judges thought she was better than Don. Her samba was really flat and I thought it was worse than her first attempt.

And its unbelievable that Andrew Castle went through - he was awful!

saggyhairyarse · 19/10/2008 21:47

Really? I thought Aleshas song was shit! I liked the tune but the lyrics are arse, it is like two songs fudged together (imo):

www.lyrics-celebrities.anekatips.com/song-lyrics/the-boy-does-nothing-lyrics-alesha -dixon

Aleshas crapola lyrics aside...

I thought Dons performance was great and am surprised they chose Heather. Agree Andrew should have gone, he is like dancing cardboard.

And Mark, I had to agree with the judges that it was bizarre to see something so beautiful move so strangely!!!

MaggsS · 20/10/2008 06:50

Cannot believe Andrew got through but I suppose it's Kate Garaway all over again.

I really felt for Don and Lillia. He did not deserve to go

poshtottie · 20/10/2008 07:39

I'm glad Heather is still in. Even if its only to see Brian dance. He is fantastic.

Tigerschick · 20/10/2008 07:47

I'm so upset that Don and Lillia have gone
Their final dance was so sad and touching - such a contrast with Lillia's final dance with Dom last year, where she wouldn't let her near him and Darren came running on to rescue her.

I can't see why the judges picked Heather over Don. I thought he really picked it up in the dance-off and Heather was mcuh the same, if not flatter ... but what do I know??

I thought Alesha's song was catchy and I loved the performance - much better than when the sings stand at the back and the dancers dance in front of them - but I agree a bit with saggyhairyarse, it did seem like 2 songs stuck together ...

Tigerschick · 20/10/2008 07:49

That should say singers!

I'm glad that Heather got to stay, I don't think either of the 2 in the dance-off should have gone but, out of the 2, I wanted Don to stay.

ZebsRoomofHerOwn · 20/10/2008 08:16

I loved Aleesha's shoes.

Andrew still in and 'the Don' gone? A travesty.

Tigerschick · 20/10/2008 08:29

I wondered how long it would be before someone mentioned the shoes
I still don't understand how people walk in them! On the radio yesterday they were talking about that LaBoot person (them of the red soles) bringing out 8 inch heels (you can tell I get my shoes in Asda for a tenner can't you )

RamblingRosa · 20/10/2008 08:42

I was really sad to see Don go too. Poor Lilia looked heartbroken. Andrew Castle is a prize knob and he must go next week.

John Sargeant's samba was brillantly dreadful

I didn't get why Lisa got marked so high either. Lovely dress and a competent dance but I don't think it was that amazing. I thought Austin was under-marked. I loved his dance.

Loved Rachel's green dress and matching eye-shadow combo.

I agree Cherie and James used weird music but I thought their dance was good.

Did anyone notice Arlene saying something about how someone (maybe Jodie?) danced tonight on the Sunday show when she was referring to the Saturday show. So is it all shot on Saturday night then?

squeaver · 20/10/2008 09:03

I think they've given up any pretence of the results show being "live" on Sunday.

They film both shows on Saturday night. The voting closes quite soon after the show finishes - about 9pm say - then they film the results show as soon as the results are ready.

In the bit in between they film the other parts of the Sunday show e.g. the show dances, singing bits etc. Then they edit it all together before it goes out on Sunday.

MorticiaAnnSpookington · 20/10/2008 09:03

John Sargeant is on Woman's Hour this morning !!

SpinMeRightRound · 20/10/2008 09:21

Will someone please tel Heather to close her mouth when she's dancing, drives me mad!

Plus thought she should have gone, not Don!

MorticiaAnnSpookington · 20/10/2008 09:21

yes, she leaves me a bit cold but I do like Brian

Tigerschick · 20/10/2008 09:32

Totally agree spinmeround. I wish she'd just close her mouth - when she did the Salsa they said that she was smiling the whole time ... no she wasn't!!

The Sunday show is filmed on the Saturday night, and they do it all out of order and edit it together ... but the sleb dnaces at least are filmed 'as live' ie they don't get second chances.
