if only to see Brendan Cole and i dont reckon he'll be around for long with Jo Wood!

Think Tuffers will be hysterical though.

Who are we tipping to win/be 1st one out?

Of the two in the dance off, the right pair went. I think Craig is quite sweet and the Flav is lovely so glad they're still about (and didn't Flavia go first last year!)

Zoe was looking delicious tonight - I really wasn't sure about her hair last night but that was a cracking Rumba and glad she gets to dance again.

As pinkteddy said, why the hell would Len vote for Richard - the comment about him being an alien is soooo true but he reminded me of a favourite uncle so would rather Jo left, who reminds me of an ageing hooker!

Am very excited about Ricky now - his hip action was rather smashing .

MyNameisJane · 26/09/2009 22:08

I liked Ricky and I think the standard is quite high. Lots of promise....

I never thought Zoe would have been such a good dancer, she seems to have so much grace and I'm seriously at her being able to wear that little black number 11 months after having a baby.

Actually I wouldn't have been that ashamed if my dad danced like Richard dunwoody, the same with most of the other dancers who seem to be able to hold a bit of rhythm...with the exception of Jo and Joe.

Alesha was much better this week but did Bruce really have to draw attention to it at the beginning and the end?

Thanks a million

evansmummy · 26/09/2009 23:32

Good shows this weekend, I prefered this bunch to last week's.

Jo is sweet, and I love how supportive Brendan is of her.

Ricky, well, what can you say but mmmmm delicious.

Zoe is just amazing, she looks fantastic and dances much better than I though she would. She needs a sport more confidence in herself. I'm looking forward to seeing her dance again.

Laila annoys me with her competetive streak.

I didn't think Craig was that bad and didn't really deserve to be in the dance off.

I love Tuffers. Marvellous! He's just quality entertainment.

I love watching Natalie dance, she just loves it, and I imagine myself being just like her if I was on the show. She really wants to do well.

Poor Richard and Lilia, but it should've been him or Jo tonight, so I guess it was kind of fair.

So so pleased Anton has a better shot at it this year, even though atm I don't like Laila that much. Katya is gorgeous, Vincent is just wonderful. The group quickstep was awesome and I loved the dance Brian and Kristina did to Jamie Cullum. Great dancing this weekend!

cocolepew · 27/09/2009 09:20

I hate Jo and her simpring voice, FFS you're not a child. And I hate Brendan so I can't say they're my favourite couple

Love Ricky for purely professional reasons

The quickstep was fantastic.

LoveTheCarbs · 27/09/2009 09:37

Oooh, I missed Zoe and James' dance due to baby antics..

Saw the rest. I thought it was the right decision for Richard to go.

Loved Natalie, though she was so nervous she got a bit wooden.

Laila was disappointing. I think i partly blame Anton for his routine, not a big fan of the 'comedy' antics.. Although I loved his tango routine on the Friday night.

Ricky looks like he is the favourite to win at the moment, don't you think? He and his partner are just lovely to watch. Great chemistry.. She definitely radiates ambition!

Jo tried her hardest. I think Brendon isn't getting as worked up this year as he knows he doesn't have a chance a winning so I think he's just enjoying it while it lasts..

I didn't like Craig and Flavia's rumbo at all. And I love Flavia - she's my girl crush! Don't know why, maybe it was his facial expression, a bit too try hard.

There are a lot of good people this year - I'm enjoying it already!

squeaver · 27/09/2009 11:39

Flavia and Lilia's faces when they were in the dance-off were a picture: "Why do we ALWAYS get the duffers?"

Honestly, Alesha was so much better this week than last. Last week she was trying too hard to be the "people's judge", the one who would have been nice to John Sergeant (giving Linda Bellingham a good score for being entertaining).

This week she showed that she actually does know what she's talking about with technical comments and actual advice.

HappyMummyOfOne · 27/09/2009 15:36

Richard looked like he was having a ball, shame he didnt get another week. Jo should have gone I thought.

Loving Iain again but not his partner, Jodie was far better suited to him last year and they looked like friends.

Glad Anton has a better partner, he's a real gentleman and would love to see him take over from Bruce eventually.

Group dance was amazing.

squeaver · 27/09/2009 17:17

Yes she's a right misery, Iain's partner isn't she?

Jo will keep going for a while on the back of a combines sympathy/Brendan fans vote

AitchTwoToTangOh · 27/09/2009 19:37

the new australian frightens me a little but her choreography is stuuuuuuuuuuunning.

evansmummy · 27/09/2009 20:35

Aitch, I'll second that. I also like watching the Canadian and think she's gorgeous!

AitchTwoToTangOh · 27/09/2009 20:59

oh yes, she's a wee pocket rocket. i like the redhead, i must say. i think at least partly because she must have resisted considerable pressure to get her nose done.

evansmummy · 27/09/2009 21:07
Shock
AitchTwoToTangOh · 27/09/2009 21:10

oh she MUST have. i wuv her for it.

RamblingRosa · 28/09/2009 08:41

I like the new girls too. Aussie girl is a bit scary (as in seriously determined and driven) but I get the impression she's really, really good.

I loved the pro quickstep. It was fantastic.

Glad Flavia stayed.

Ricky is just absurdly hot (and seems like a nice bloke and good dancer as well). Sigh.

ameRIAcansmooth · 02/10/2009 10:43

I haven't caught up with last week yet. Is it on tonight, or just tomorrow this week?

themoon66 · 02/10/2009 16:23

Just Saturday I think.

Bomper · 02/10/2009 19:55

Oooh, Brian and Ali looked VERY friendly on ITT tonight, didn't you think?

pleasechange · 02/10/2009 20:31

I thought that bomper. Is he gay or not?
And he had his hair very different didn't he? I have a big crush on him

lookout · 02/10/2009 23:39

I once had a very rude dream about him

evansmummy · 02/10/2009 23:41

Aitch, I checked out the nose on the red-head tonight, I didn't think it was that bad?

LoveTheCarbs · 03/10/2009 11:58

I also thought Ali and Brian looked VERY friendly. No, I don't think he is gay.. Wasn't there some chat about him and Lisa Snowdon last year??

pleasechange · 03/10/2009 15:26

oh yes lovethecarbs, forgot about that!

lookout, lucky you! I'm surprised I haven't tbh, but I have had one about both Wentworth Miller and Kiefer Sutherland (not at the same time obviously!)

SausageRocket · 03/10/2009 15:33

Ali and Brian almost deffo shagging romatically involved

I don't get all this swooning business. He looks soooooo scary to me. It's those insanely bushy but at the same time, uber-groomed eyebrows of his.

lookout · 03/10/2009 18:29

Sausage, nor do I! He's definitely not that gorgeous, none of the males are really to my eye. Imagine my surprise when I awoke! Hence the tbh!
