THE NEW STRICTLY THREAD!

[BlackPussyCat]

Here we go...

Camilla quite often wears sleeves where everyone else has none - I wonder if she has some sort of arm image issue?

Thought Jodie did really well this week - am growing to like her - love Ian though so hope she stays in for a while yet

I think Rachel got such high marks by the judges for tactical reasons, it was good but only as good as some of the others.

Tom was good but overplayed slightly so I see where the me me me came into it.

Cherie - costume was awful and didnt like the dance at all. Really hope she goes this week.

Kristina is fab though and will be missed when John does go. Her dancing is amazing.

I didn't think Lisa's rolls were very good but then I've never really seen the point of that move, it never looks very 'natural' to me, even when the professionals are doing it. Maybe it helps if there's a bigger height difference or something?

I agree tribpot - the face-to-face samba rolls do look odd, no matter who is doing them. The ones where both partners are facing the same way look much better.

I thought the standard was very high last night.
There's 6 weeks to go and the second lowest score was 30!! I bet Lisa and Brendan were moderately pleased with that score until they realised how highly everyone else was scored!

I'm not sure about the conspiracy theories with the judges' scores (which is not correctly punctuated on the BBC site ) I think that Rachel's rumba was incredible ... and I think John's American Smooth was much better than anything he's done so far - so both scores were, IMVHO, justified.

Kristina should get some sort of "services to choreography" award for what she's done with John. I bet when she first met him she thought "I'll be out in week one" but she has done an incredible job.

Agree with everyone on the rumba - just amazing.

Bored with both Tom and Cherie now. They're both a bit too self-involved.

I can't wait to see who's in the dance off this week! If it's John he will definitely get voted off. If not, it could well be Lisa and Brendon - can't believe how they have fallen this week. I SO don't want Jodie to go yet, she is just so lovely and posh! I didn't think I would warm to an upperclass polo-playing ex-supermodel but I think she is fab. I will grudgingly admit that Rachel was good but I still don't like her and would be glad if she left! Her poor boyfriend was probably squirming in his seat watching her and Vincent's Rumba

I've peeked at the spoiler so all I will say is ... do watch.

Good innit still can't wait to watch, so it's not spoilt it for me, in fact it's made it more exciting!!

Mary - I will contain myself til after the show! Am amazed by the strong wills exhibited here not to give in to the spoiler as I do every week. It was so much better back in ye olden days when the results were broadcast live.

Did they used to do the results on a Saturday night? Its the first series i've watched so not sure of past format.

Yes, used to be later on a Saturday.

I have seen the spoiler.

Thankyou Pinkteddy.My dad was meant to tape it for us,but it didn't work,so am trying to watch it on Iplayer instead,but it is so slooooow.

DH is watching TopGear now,so will miss tonights episode too.Bah!

have to say, i LOVE the band

especially the male singer

Professional group dance was very good, Brian and Kristina were ace. James loves himself a little too much for my liking.

Juat chatting with DH,

there is

Sir Tom Jones
Sir Mick Jagger
Sir Terru Wogan
Sir Clive Woodward
Sir Ian Botham
Sir Bob Geldof

sorry it is a travesty however irritaiting some may find him but why isnt' he a Sir

I've been very good this year and haven't peeked at Digital Spy at all.

I think James Jordon may have lost some votes for showing his true colours again this week on ITT. He's very unforgiving to the amateurs when they don't live up to his expectations.

he is

sir brucie

oh my

oh

oooh interseting

think cherie will go

oh again

this is a bit crap.

I did predict it though [sage old STC bird].
The John Backlash will be huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge next week. then he will go.

poor lisa

I think cherie should go but I bet she doesn't. Lisa is a better all rounder.

Flippin' eck!

aaah he slipped
