I just love the whole glitz and feelgood vibe of the show! the talent and athleticism of the dancers is magnetic to watch, as well as the progress of the amateurs.

I love Dave the hairy biker! bless him he looks most like the one with 2 left feet so I'd love to see him surprise everyone.

It's going to take a bit of getting used to the new professional dancers. but by the looks of the new male ones that is going to be very easy.

lol! Anton loves it Kat!

I feel for the female professionals who all vie for the fit hotty and end up with the rhythmless plodder! I'm just willing them to keep smiling when inside they must be going "Noooooooooooooooo!"

All about Dave Myers! Lol.

Got Tony in the sweepstake, so have lost my cash...

Dave was having a blast and it showed! It was hilarious and Craig's reaction afterwards was a hoot!

I was right about Natalie and Artem, I think they are the ones to watch. Rachel Riley has real potential and I think Pasha is the right professional for her, he's such a good and patient tutor so I hope they progress well. Mark Benton really surprised me as did Abbey Clancy, she's surprisingly graceful for a clothes hanger isn't she? (Okay, I'll be nice from now on but she really needs to eat a pie or two)

The first one to go? Either Tony Jacklin or Julien McDonald.

Sophie and Brendan's Charleston was sensational, dance of the night for me! But i also really enjoyed Ashley and Ola's American Smooth, that suited him down to the ground, and given the huge week he's had, he did brilliantly. I hadn't heard of him before Strictly but i think like Tom Chambers, he's going to do well, he just has that vibe. And Natalie and Artem are going to go all the way, she's very, very good.

I'm slowly warming to Mark and Iveta, Dave made me smile and i found myself enjoying Vanessa and James's waltz too but i thought while Rachel enjoyed her salsa i think it was, she was rather un-coordinated and slightly manic. I think Pasha still has a lot of work to do.

My bottom two this week were Tony (his Charleston was forced and painful to watch in places) and Julien (no upper frame, or proper Tango posture, his bum either stuck out or he was bent over Jeanette or both at once- but i loved his outfit, so him!) I think Tony will possibly be eliminated.

Still haven't had chance to watch yesterday's SCD, but from tonight's dance off, Tony was right to go; he suffered from having a very hard dance week 2 though. I suspect if he'd had something slightly more suited to a man of his age, he may have stayed in.

Can see Julien going next week though...

I've been watching this purely for the eye candy & maybe some of the moves! Ashley Taylor Dawson & Ben Cohen PHWOAR! & the two camp panel judges have me in stiches!

no coincidence that the male dancers in both those dances had very nice costumes on Lisa?
Agree with you about Rachel, it is interesting watching her dance it makes me realise that the specific techniques of each dancing style are actually quite alien to the body who has not habitually done those kind of moves. It was bit like when Darcy Bussell tried to do break dancing on another kind of show years ago, trained as a ballerina she just couldn't get the swagger and the whole body language of it.

Susanna's dance was sensational..and unexpected i guess i had pitched her somewhere in the middle!

My hope that Dave would somehow miraculously become this amazing dancer are disappearing over the horizon....he is funny, but it feels right that he should be the next to go. In years past when the 'clown' (and i mean that most respectfully!) of the group has remained over better dancers technically just for the fun /entertainment factor, I have felt it was unfair..on the other contestants and the pro dancers putting in lots of work.


I so didn't get some of the scoring last night..Julien was scored too highly and Sophie too lowly.
Sophie is my new favourite she is so beautiful and graceful and brought something to latin dancing I have never seen before..the judges said it was a bit of a cool party vibe but I LOVED that! perhas thoght when you are scorign and judging it is about the technique and style within cerain perimeters - perhasp ti as a bit fusiony!

Agree with your eye candy choices J-B, who is your fave of the male professionals?

Not Kevin Clifton, it's KevinfromGrimsby!

He is very sweet, I have to admit...and he has a very attractive girlfriend in Karen Hauer!

For me, Susanna was the best, with Ashley and Patrick not far behind. Abbey does my head in and I can see her leaving earlier than she thinks because I don't think she's that popular. I think Dave will last a couple more weeks, then drop off.

J-B, Pasha is undeniably ! not feeling it for Kevin... yet!

as for last night's elimination.. BOO! for elaboration see my last post in this topic!

@PradaKat....Aww (he may not be conventionally good looking but he is very attractive to me) when he did that jungle style dance last week i noticed just how fit he was & very toned.Nice buns too!!.
