THE NEW STRICTLY THREAD!

[BlackPussyCat]

Here we go...

I have to admit that when I saw Camilla was wearing trousers my first thought was something like 'Oh, she's copied Flavia, how boring!' She does have some shockers tho, doesn't she!?

What's this about Brendan's knee??

I don't think that there is anything in Len's comment about 'if the BBC ask' him to do it, he will; I think it's just that there is no guarantee that there will even be a serise next year. Tho, admittedly, the beeb would be mad not to do it again!

I read the 'bottom 2 slebs were black' thread in total and I was more amazed by how many people thought the judges' scores didn't count towards who got to stay in and who was in the dance-off! What the heck did they think the judges' scores were for then??

Still can't get over how beautiful Darcy Bussel is to watch. I thought Erin's comment from ITT on Monday was about right - that the prof dancers were doing some 'fluff' in the background - they weren't really needed but there you go...

The Sun (I know, I know ...)

silly arse refused medical help

A-ha! This is where you've all been hiding.

What kind of an idiot smashes his knee on an escalator?

Fool!!

Did you see the link at the side of the story - apparently, the judges each get £90K for a serise, Brucie gets £45K and the prof dancers get £30K. Seems like an odd break down. I can understand Brucie getting more as he is a 'name' whereas the dancers still aren't concidered to be. But why do the judges get so much??

Also, I am intrigued about Nicole Cutler. Ages ago, before the beginning of this serise, I remember reading somewhere that she was 'no longer needed' for SCD ... but they brought in 3 new dancers. So I wonder why it is that she was deemed to be surplus to requirement ...? She did a rather sour interview afterwards; said that Tess is a b*ch who never talks to anyone when the cameras are off etc. But I wonder how they decide who the profs are.

Did Cherie really say she wished she could get lower marks? She looks far too smug, I hope Jodie beats her, she seems v natural and down-to-earth.
Anyone know how they decide who does latin or ballroom (? foxtrot/waltz etc.) Seems unfair to me that John Sargent, whom I think is lovely, had the tango and now the paso - he'd be better suited to a waltz. Can already hear CRH's comments.
Lol at Ola always looking like she's doing a pole-dance. She looks so serious the whole time, can't imagine there are many larks during training with her.

Flavia looked stunning as usual during the paso last week - but the camera hardly showed her. It was mostly on gurning (love that word) Karen and Ola (?) a bit.

Saw ITT last night: Brendan has no upper lip. Lisa S makes me wince when she does that simpering little girl act of pulling up her shoulders and blinking coyly
My boys have an Action Man who looks just like Brian Fortuna. He looks like he was made in a factory too, imo.

And Darcey Bussell - gorgeous and lovely.

I thought Darcy Bussells hair was too old for her but she was fantastic and what was Catherine Jenkins' wench top like (on ITT)?

I expected to like Lisa Snowdon and hate Rachel but Lisa is sooo simpering like she has taken lessons from Kelly Brook and Rachel seems pretty down to earth, i think her Mitchell-Like brothers are quite funny too.

Did Lisa S really sh&g George Clooney? (Sorry, I read the wrong newspapers )It always struck me he had better taste.

Jodie's not going down without a fight, is she?

LOL Mitchell-like bruvvers.

Here is the interview with Nicole I heard it reported somewhere else, so the content is a bit different from what I understood - but still not good reading!

Oh - I missed a 0 out of Brucie's pay - he gets £450K which is a lot - a very lot!!

Maybe it's to keep him in comfortable retirement?

I didn't see the first few series so I'd never heard of Nicole Cutler. I always thought Matthew Cutler was gay!! I like him even more now I know he's not

Sadly BWBB, the general concesus is that it could well have been a 'marriage of convenience'... this is just conjecture and not based on any evidence tho

Oh Tiger, my hopes were raised so briefly only to be dashed to pieces!!

I think I might know how they find the professional dancers.Several years back,my dance teacher sister,along with many other dance schools, was contacted to see if any of her pupils wanted to audition for a TV show being devised,featuring trained dancers plus novices.I announced it on mumsnet at the time,but no one was particularly interested then........

Just watched ITT - is there anywhere we can find out where Claudia gets her dresses and shoes? Is she going to wear a new outfit every day?! I don't like them all, but I like a lot of them!

I loved her dress today

I loved Claudia's outfit today . She looked fab...

Pah, crap article. Lol at the photo of Anton labelled as Brendan Cole. Also says James and Ola only surviving couple but what about Darren and Lillia?????

Glad someone else spotted that about 'only happily married couple', Vanilla. Twas a crap article - I posted it to see what reaction it'd get but I think people are too busy lusting after Claudia's wardrobe

Only the shoes Tiger. Way too many of her dresses look like tents.

i wasn't really feeling last night's shoes - too thin-soled (i like big platforms).

have non-Strictly-watching best friend visiting tomorrow, so i can see another iplayer marathon looming on sunday

No no cyteen - I can see a forceful conversion coming
