who lost tonight ?

Gillian Taylforth

 

[zoooo]

[ruffneck23]

Gillian Taylforth

Thanks

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Well, poor old Anton (again)

I've taken a completely irrational and vehement dislike to Brian Fortuna - just looking at him makes me irritated. He's taken over from Brendan as my object of hate. I really hope Heather Small falls on her face or completely screws up in some way so he will be banished from my tv screen.

Ok, now I've got that out of my system - the girls aren't looking bad, are they?

Sadly Mr. QofG's likes Brian and I think would like to be him

I didn't mind Heather Small and liked their routine - Jesse Wallace annoys me and I was really sad she wasn't out

Thought Cherie Lunghi was great - fluid, kept her concerntration, performed the dance well and very elegant. Lovely

However the best comment of Saturday eveing came from Mr QofG's - who from being inifferent to SCD is now a huge fan - who suddenly blurted out that Ola was "ludicrously sexy". I could only agree

 

[onenameshelley]

Right finally caught up with last weeks and this week.

I liked Ola's catsuit, i became completely entranced by her hips in it i really would

I have to say i am quite pleased it wasnt jessie that left after an intial "she looks like a lump of wood in a dress" thoughts about her, somehow i have been won round by her. I was really surprised by Jodie Kidd a bit more graceful than i thought, i honestly think the dresses they have been giving her are rubbish though really dont fit her right.

Poor Anton

I have to say i am now horribly addicted, i never thought i would say that

Acutally i agree with this i dont know what Brian has done but just his face annoys me, i dont know if it just heather small being next to him that has done it or the fact his name is Fortuna

Oh and i am loving John Sargent as well dont have a clue why just something sort of lovely about him being so sort of bimbly

Although i would like more of Mark not wearing very much at all

The cabbage has actually taken to leaving the room when its on he hates so much, its the brucie factor that makes it unbearable apparently

 

[secretsquirrel]

John Sargeant & Jo Brand - separated at birth?!

 

[May Kasahara]

They even sound the same

 

[Miss Potter]

I bloody love John Sergeant, how much is he enjoying himself? He'll go a long way on his likeability factor I think.

I really want Mark Foster to do well as he's gorgeous but he just has NO rhythm bless him.

I think the best guy so far is the guy from Casualty (?) and the best woman is Cherie Lunghi.

My favourite though is Bruce Forsyth. He's so bad he's funny, that remark he made about Nancys the other night

 

[Melinda]

Ive only just caught up with the last episode, Oh how I love this show!

Love, love love the new pros, especially Kristina, the sizzling Russian with the platinum hair!
Like FTC I decided to dislike the new American just by looking at his face, but I fell in love with his dancing, he has quite excellent hips.
The New Zeland girl is entirely fabulous. I loved their 2Girls:1Brian routine! Corrr!

I was trying to work out which female pro has left the show and its Nicole- the tango face who used to be married to Matt Cutler.

I had gone into full mourning for Flavia's passing, but am reassured she will be around lots on Sunday Showcases- loving her new hair!

Loved the pro's tango- wow! Kristina the new Russian was just captivating. And I do love watching Anton and Erin, they flow so easily.

My favourite though is Bruce Forsyth. He's so bad he's funny, that remark he made about Nancys the other night

That comment was jaw-dropping! Did no one pick him up on it during dress rehersal? Bloody hell.

 

[Melinda]

My favourite slebs on the night- Heather and Brian, Rachel and Vincent (who is being weirdly over famliar), Rachel had quite the best dress - though my nanna had some hilarious things to say about her dancing on a Jewish holiday!

I have to say Brendan Cole reached new levels of cockdom by abandoning Lisa during their 'backstage in the corridor after their dance' interiew. His job is first to support his girl AND then to teach her to dance. After 6 seasons, he still doesnt get it; he doesnt need to be back next season. Enough of him.

Loved Cherie, as expected she shone in the Foxtrot. Thought Gillian Taylforth was hard done by- Jessie Wallace should have gone.

Oooh I LOVED the Sugababes! For almost the first time since Mutya left, I really rated their performance and their dresses. 'Here come the girls' indeed! The accompanying pro dance with Brian and Christina, Ola and James and the mighty Vincent and Flavia was just sex!

 

[onenameshelley]

another vote for top sugar babes action as well.

i am looking forward to watching it on saturday with my mum now, fizzy pink wine and malteasers are the order of the day, we havent watched tv together since Dallas

 

[ShiftyBagLady]

i've decided to immerse myself in this strictly come dancing stuff
first impressions were that gary rhodes is quite comical, almost camp when he dances, something of the awkward uncle at a wedding about his moves.
the holby city guy is not nearly as cute on this show as he was on that one. not very impressed by his moves either.
the tall swimmer looks so gangly and uncoordinated

two of teh pro female dancers look like they've had careers in porn.
the american pro male is just...very american
anton irritates me
tess also irritates me
i'd like to have angry sex with the australian male pro but he also irritates me
cole is an absolute wanker and i would love to slap him
rachels stevens partner seems slimy and i dont know how she can bear to smile so much in his presence.

 

[Ms T]

Me and spangles got quite indecently drunk watching Strictly on Saturday.

My thoughts:

Cherie Lunghi FTW!

Christine Bleakley looks way older than 28.

Vincent and Brendan are incredibly annoying and I hate them.

Rachel Stevens' mother is a stunna. Much better looking than her daughter.

Poor Anton.

 

[zoooo]

He really is sexy when he's dancing! When not dancing = not so much.
But yes, that threesome dance was yummy.

That comment was jaw-dropping! Did no one pick him up on it during dress rehersal? Bloody hell.

What did he saaaaay?
I totally missed this.

 

[May Kasahara]

Poor Anton.

hey, at least he's got Hole In The Wall to fall back on.

 

[Melinda]

He really is sexy when he's dancing! When not dancing = not so much.
But yes, that threesome dance was yummy.

It was Brian's birthday last week and Claudia surprised him with a lovely birthday video from his family and friends in America. Brian really struggled to keep his tears in check. His tears made me want to do rudeys to him.

What did he saaaaay?
I totally missed this.

TV fans have rallied around Bruce Forsyth and urged BBC bosses not to fire him over a gay quip on Strictly Come Dancing.
The furore broke out when Bruce used a number of risque jokes on Saturday night.

Much of the furore centred on a comment he made after hearing that contestant Cherie Lunghi once played Nancy in Oliver Twist.

"That's the last thing we need on this show, another Nancy," quipped Bruce.

From here: http://www.herald.ie/entertainment/...r-his-nancy-gaffe-plead-the-fans-1486117.html

The article seem mostly hyperbole, as I couldnt find any 'furore' anywhere else, as much as I tried. It was a properly clanking, off-key comment though.

 

[zoooo]

Ohhh. Woops!

Oh well, he is 80. Silly old sod.

Yes!!!! I saw that!!!!
I'd forgotten. It was flipping adorable.

 

[onenameshelley]

Can i say thank god "freaky body" Rhodes has gone. He was just freaking me out with his middle age face on young body thing. Go John and Don they are both so cute. Have to say that Tom got my heart racing with his jive as well *fans self* good lord i never thought blokes dancing was that attractive before but i am getting into it now.

Looking forward to the girls dancing next week

I am still having to restrain myself from clapping after each dance.

 

[May Kasahara]

ha ha, don't hold it in shells

 

[Melinda]

ha ha, don't hold it in shells

Hahaha! Look at the time Little Joe had you up at!

 

[Rollem]

oh god, i find him so smug its annoying. not sure who my fav guy is yet, i do think john so damn charming tho ,

I am still having to restrain myself from clapping after each dance.

dont hold it in shells, clap away, they can hear you, you know!

it's proving exhausting watching it in our hosue, as madge is back to insisting that we dance every dance

 

[May Kasahara]

Hahaha! Look at the time Little Joe had you up at!

Oh how we laughed

 

[onenameshelley]

Yeah i can see the smugness but i think i was ignoring it I shall be clapping then, dammit i am enjoying it so i am going to clap

Ahh brilliant i want a small person to dance with me, do you hire madge out or do i have to find my own small person

Do boys really call their arm muscles their guns, is this something new

 

[felixthecat]

Well, this is rapidly becoming a rather narrow race isn't it?

Jessie and Jodie in the dance off I reckon, probably Jodie to go. Jessie Wallace was awful but she's got a lot of public support I suppose.

And as for Cherie Lunghi - bloody hell! She is looking FINE at 56 isn't she? So elegant.

 

[Ms T]

Cherie Lunghi FTW! I thought she was amazing - easily the sexiest performance of the night.

Jodie and Jessie in the dance-off, although Jessie will probably get the sympathy vote.

 

[zoooo]

I loved Heather and Brian's dance. I thought Heather would annoy me, but I think they're becoming my favourites!

 

[Miss Potter]

you had to feel sorry for Jessie last night, that frock they put her in

 

[Sweaty Betty]

So whos out this week then???

 

[spanglechick]

jessie wallace - who i wasn't liking at all, so i'm quite happy with that.
