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?

Is anyone as disappointed as me with the standard of dancing tonight? I usually vote, but only if I am moved to and I'm not tonight.

Ricky W's foxtrot was the only good dance. Although the judges loved his cha cha cha, I was not so impressed with it.

Ali was okay. I think she is very sweet. But the two dances didn't really suit her. The tango is never a favourite of mine and her samba was not carnival enough. Too polite.

I do love Chris and Ola together, they put a lot of enthusiasm into their dancing and it is infectious. But up to quarter final standards? I'm not convinced.

Laila and Anton were dreadful.

Pity Jade didn't make it through. It would have made the competition a lot more watchable.

Laila must be the one to go tonight.

pinkteddy · 05/12/2009 20:49

Agree Lovethecarbs. When I think of this time last year and poor Austin going out, its unbelievable to me that we have people like Laila still in the competition who can't even get the steps right. IMO Laila doesn't really care about this competition. It makes it even more of a travesty that Zoe and Jade went out so soon.

Agree Laila's got to go tonight. Hope she doesn't get the sympathy vote AGAIN!

pinkteddy · 05/12/2009 20:50

What do people think of Darcey Bussell btw?

Nancy66 · 05/12/2009 21:30

Was it me or did Aleesha seem very hostile and ungracious towards Darcey?

AvadaKedavra · 05/12/2009 21:34

Not just you Nancy, when they introduced her I noticed she wasn't applauding. Sour grapes?

I have voted for Chris and Ola.

Ricky and Ali were bland.

Lalia and Anton although I like them, were crap, maybe if she didn't practise in her Uggs all the while???!

Not liking the show in two halves having just gotten used to it in one shot!

kalo12 · 05/12/2009 21:42

who got kicked off? i missed it as ds is poorly.

gingerwine · 05/12/2009 22:04

Quick tune in now. It's not over yet!

Heated · 05/12/2009 22:06

I agree, Ali & Brian are bland.

Obv Laila to go - she is so lovely to look at though.

kalo12 · 05/12/2009 22:15

i missed it again! grrr! who went?

pinkteddy · 05/12/2009 22:17

Laila and Anton went. Right decision IMO.

roslily · 05/12/2009 22:24

Here's hoping they keep darcy and ditch Alesha.

Definitely right decision

Bomper · 05/12/2009 22:55

Just how fucking good was Vincent and Flav's Argentine Tango?!

LoveTheCarbs · 06/12/2009 09:22

I will have to watch it on the Iplayer to catch Vincent and Flavia's Argentine Tango. I loved it last year. I didn't stay up for the results show as I was very tired and tbh was a bit disappointed with it all.

I like Darcy. She's quite serious, though, isn't she? She must have so much grit and determination to have become a world class ballerina. Did you hear Brucie say it was nice to have her as a judge to bring a bit of class to the judges panel? Maybe that was what annoyed Alesha!

Not surprised that Laila went. She was rubbish. I am surprised that Ricky W was in the bottom two.

thelunar66 · 06/12/2009 11:06

God yes.. Brucie's comment about Darcy bringing 'a bit of class' to the panel... he has no tact! Aleisha's face was a picture!

Nancy66 · 06/12/2009 11:35

He's right though. Alesha was firing on all cylinders with the 'you was' and 'you done' last night.

muminthemiddle · 06/12/2009 22:57

Darcey is fantastic, seen her perform and she was brilliant.
Nice to have another judge who knows what they are talking about.

pinkteddy · 07/12/2009 20:52

Did anyone see ITT tonight? No dance off on Saturday night - couple with lowest combined judges and public vote will go out.

OLittleTownOfGlasvegas · 09/12/2009 16:09

Does anyone else think Erin Boag has had botox recently? I was watching her on ITT lsat night and her face was eerily smooth!

I am loving dance mat challenge, can anyone beat the Bennett?

PinkPussyCat · 09/12/2009 16:49

Yes - the old "Eyebrows halfway up the forehead" look... Erin seems to change slightly every time you see her.
(Though must confess I do fancy a teeny bit of botox myself)

Looking forward to Sat night without the dance off. Go Chris!

pinkteddy · 09/12/2009 17:41

God yes I kept looking at her, thinking what is wrong with her face?! She can't be old enough to need botox surely? I don't understand the attraction myself unless the wrinkles have got really bad!!

Snowstorm · 10/12/2009 22:41

I LOVE the dance mat challenge and the dancers' reactions to it - brilliant and very funny (though could do without the annoying electronic voice intro each time).

Ricky seems like a really nice bloke (only know him from Strictly, don't watch Hollyoaks) and he and Natalie seem to work really hard, so can only imagine that their lack of public support is down to reaction to Natalie ... perhaps she's too hard/competitive and a little on the insincere side? What do you think?

Head says Ricky to win but heart says 'Team Cola' - Ola seems to have really relaxed and opened up and I love watching them now - they make ITT in my opinion and if it wasn't for them then the show would be very dull. Their charleston was absolutely fantastic!

mommajools · 10/12/2009 22:55

Look at these fab photos of Brian backstage at the Blackpool show.

AvadventCalendar · 12/12/2009 19:37

Ali and Brian bringing on the lurve to get votes. Transparent.

Come on Team Cola!!

noddyholder · 12/12/2009 19:39

come on ricky!

AvadventCalendar · 12/12/2009 19:39

They should sit CRH where Bruno is, as when he gives a 10 everyone else does, would make it more of a cliffhanger if he were last to reveal his scores.
