THE NEW STRICTLY THREAD!

[BlackPussyCat]

Here we go...

Ah we haven't seen Cherie do any up-tempo latin yet have we?

(suddenly everyone's an expert )

Downy Emerald, me and DP noticed the fact that both of the bottom two were black too. I know there have been some very successful non-white contestants (before everyone jumps down my throat!) and I don't think there's a great conspiracy theory but I do think that a lot of good black contestants have been voted off earlier than they should have been. Colin Jackson was a million times better than Darren Gough for example (even factoring in the dire dummy dance!!). Also, who was that actor guy, last year or the year before ? Sorry, having a vague morning. Was he from Holby or something. V good looking. Pretty good dancer. Got voted out really early.

Anyway, I know everyone else disagrees with me so I'll shut up now.

I can't see how Brian could be fanciable at all . I agree he's got some amazing moves though. I loved his little routine with Brendan the other night in the paso doble.

Just watched yesterday's ITT, and thought Darcy Bussell's thoughts on Cherie were interesting 'she looks like she's danced all her life' - was almost like she was saying 'she has had lots and lots of dance training'.

Darcey Bussell is beautiful

I've been looking at Alesha's dances from last year on Youtube, she was just amazing and I love Matthew, her old partner. I can't see any of this year's contestants being as good as Alesha to be honest.

I think it helped Alesha as well that she is so glamourous and vivacious, makes the dance come alive a lot more than others (hark at me!)

Downyemerald Lol at Erin having 2 heads that she alternates - you made me think of Worzel Gummidge!

Agree Alesha was fabulous and oozed star quality.

I like "Brine ForTuna" too he's so wiggly/bendy

What do we think about Katherine Jenkins? I find her odd... can't warm to her for some reason. I think she's got a bit of an expressionless doll-type face.....

or maybe I'm just !

oh she is a doll, and has a doll figure as well. I think she should darken her hair personally - like she'd take advice from me! - she's kind of too obvious looking

I find Holly Willowby a bit like that as well

sorry for delay! brianfortuna.com/. he's a really nice bloke too judging by the stuff on here.

I saw a bit of ITT the other week and Cherie reminded me of a 'supermum'. You know, the one in toddlers whose baby is perfect and you are the wreck with the crying all night baby etc etc. The supermum tries to pretend she's the same as you even though you know that she knows she's not and will never be!!!! Aaaagh!!

Cherie was being interviewed with Heather (best and worst together...) and she was saying she wished she could get lower marks (yeh, right) cos then it would feel more real and she's 'only human' after all! If I was Heather I would have steam coming out my ears!!!!

Cherie has did Pilates twice a week for 18 years, I think that really helps her.

Hellooo, here you all are.
I loved that Paso on Sunday. All that testosterone
I agree Brian is an AMAZING dancer but totally unfanciable for me.
I hadn't even noticed the bottom two being black until you mentioned it Downy. I actually had to think hard about what colour the contestants even were as I haven't really clocked it iykwim
Len has to stay.....and I would actually like Brucie to stay too. He makes me and dh laugh and he is an institution imo.
I loved the outfits this weekend, esp Tess' and Lillia's. Hated Camillas though. Right off to ogle Claudia's shoes on ITT on the Sky+.

No the worst outfit was Hayley's! Does she get the short straw cos she's new?

I agree - both Hayley and Mark were dressed terribly!

Did you see the bit on ITT about the costumes being themed each year. Totally passed me by - I'll look harder now!

hey browntrout - thanks for Brian website !

Brian & Heather's training last night was to Search for a Hero. I hope that is the song they are dancing to on Saturday - love it.

I saw M People live last year (in a forest!) and she was outstanding. Brilliant voice.

OMG!! Just seen Darren Bennett's twin, Dale, on Bargain Hunt. They are IDENTICAL!!

I don't see Lila and Darren as a couple some how. He always seems nicely dressed when on ITT but she always looks like a hooker imo.

Lilia looks like a hooker Fimbo?! I think she looks lovely. Ola on the other hand looks lovely but somehow manages to look like a pole dancer even when she's doing an elegant dance like a waltz!

Bomper - I'd forgotten he was a twin. Has Dale got similar mannerisms, way of talking etc.

I had to do a double take, and thought it was Darren at first!! His voice is the same, his mannerisms, even his style in clothes (and glasses!!), the only difference is he has a slightly chubbier face!!

Has Brendan done his knee in?

Brendans knee ??????

I agree Ola is just too sexy for the waltz. Amazing in the Paso though, my word!

And I think Lilia looks cute usually on ITT. Have to agree about Hayley's outfit, but still hated Camilla's more. Think it was the colour I objected to as loved Flavia in trousers last year...
