THE NEW STRICTLY THREAD!

[BlackPussyCat]

Here we go...

I sort of agree about Darren and Lilia but was also quite intrigued to see where they lived. They - especially Darren - loved showing us around WAY too much.

I LOVED ITT item yesterday on Ian. Those pictures of him dancing when he was younger were hilarious. He looked just like the character Bob Downe for anyone who remembers him. I also find "Ask Len" really funny.

I think I need to catch up on ITT - I feel a bit left out

It was a bit show home-y though, Darren and Lilia's..the pug thing was funny

Brian - geeky ?
NOOOOOOO - I won't have a word said against him.
Unless of course it is re his eyebrows. which we have had discussions about before

I've just booked tickets for the live show in Feb - cant wait

Slightly excited as you can tell lol.

It's gone a bit quiet round here ...

Who are you looking forward to seeing tonight??

I can't wait for Austin's paso - it could be fantastic or a complete disaster area ... I just hope he pulls it out of the bag!!
Of those who are left in, Tom got the highest paso score at 34 ...

I'm not really excited about tonight - Rachel - she'll do well, austin - he'll do well, tom - he'll do well but won't get marked as highly as austin etc etc.

I miss Jodie, and the only real interest is whether Christine will pull it out of the bag or not!

It's not going to be the same without Jodie and Ian. Wish Cheesy Christine had gone instead.

I am looking forward to Austin and Tom, but I always love the weeks when they start doing two dances, anyway. It sorts the men from the boys, as t'were...

Agree with Emerald.
A bit boring now. Surely christine wil go next.
There is no ... will it be her/him ... left in it now.

I miss Jodie-she reminded me of when I attempted to learn to dance years ago.I was tall and gangly too.Sadly I didn't get any better,unlike Jodie.

DH,who hates SCD with a passion,has started turning up the volume when it comes on now.He'd never admit he was interested though.

Did anyone see Never Mind the Buzzcocks last Saturday - available on Iplayer til 11.49pm tonight. Aleisha Dixon was on and Simon Amstell asked if she had noticed that Tess was "dead behind the eyes" - lol.

christine has definitely gone as far as she can. she looked lovely but there was no snap to her dance at all - it just looked like a walkthrough.

Agree this is Christine's last week. She's such a lovely girl but the others are amazing.

LOL @ 'the final countdown' vincent showing his eurotrash colours.

I've warmed to Lisa. In fact, I'm going to vote for her tonight!

yes, finally i have come around to lisa. both those performances were lively, lovely and yes, full of personality!

Lisa and Rachel were both overmarked in an effort to skew the results - esp LIsa's. Len's marking was a joke - 'I'm going to ignore the faults in Tom's dance to give a 10' but then ignore the merit in Austin's Paso to give 8.

Seriously, how good was that!!!!

Tom - was robbed - 7?????

I thought that the judges were unfair on the boys and overly gushing about Rachel and Lisa. Still cant bear Lisa. Voted for Christine, she is the new John Sargeant!!!

When you see Lisa in training without the massive smile and make up, she is so natural and beautiful.

However, her excessive grin and touching of Brendan really irritates me...and.. I think...the nation.

Can't think who my favourite is - love Austin, Tom and Rachel!

Christine - bless. Surely she will go this week?

I thought Lisa was fantastic - glad she thrashing those boys at last - they've had an easy ride.

Rachel's first dance - beautiful.

Austin - he always delivers, but it always leaves me cold.

Tom - 'camp as a row of tents' as Bruno said, but love the enthusiasm.

Christine - please go home....

Agree that Tom does try perhaps too hard, but I can SO see how desperate he is to be up there with the '10s'.

So who is Brendon engaged to all of a sudden? I thought he was 'with' one of the other professional lady dancers.

It?s getting exciting now with each couple doing 2 dances.

Tom ? I didn?t notice his bottom sticking out. Not a great fan of his generally but thought his ballroom was really good. Not keen on his Latin ? REALLY not helped by that shirt.

Austin ? LOVED the PASO. Well done to Erin for the choreography ? and what a body she has. Also thought his ballroom was good but Bruno got carried away with the 10.

Rachel ? ballroom ? dress and dance lovely; Latin - rubbish dress and not great dance ? her expression reminded me of a petulant teenager who had been told to tidy her room.

Lisa ? very good in both but I still can?t warm to her.

Christine ? overmarked ? all floppy and ragdolly. Definitely time to say goodbye. Really don?t care how hard you are working and how much it means to you.

Len had a bad night ? he completely missed the whole point of Austin?s Paso and seemed to be the only one who didn?t like it. Saying he had spotted an error in Tom?s dancing and still giving a 10 makes a joke of the whole judging system.
