Strictly's Back

Sorry, back to the subject. Susan’s my favourite by far. So obviously enjoying the whole experience and giving it her all.

I know I’m late to comment but have just read this thread. Why on earth would you want to make someone feel bad for cracking a joke like Charleygirl’s? Us thrifty lot in Yorkshire get this and do this all the time and I’ve honestly never known anyone get on their high horse about it.

Brian's so funny though. He looked at his partner and said 'if I was 30 years younger and not fussy!'
He's a showman and used to being on stage. I'm not surprised to hear he made some sort of farewell speech. Not sure it was a rant though.

My favourites - Susan, Johnnie, Debbie. Best dancers - Aston, Alexandra.

Glad Brian has gone he was too full of himself and, apparently, climbed on the judges podium and had a 'mock' rant after he was voted off. It was edited out for Sunday's show. I guess Simon will go next?

I too think Susan is great. She looks lovely and has such enthusiasm. Obviously loves to dance.

I like Susan, too. I thought she looked great last night with longer hair in a feminine style.

Posted in the wrong place??

Yer what!!??

It's still at the dull stage and far too drawn out. I've decided Aston is my favourite, he's so nimble and light on his feet, a joy to watch so I'm routing for him as overall winner, I suspect it will come down to him and Alexandra in the final although there are a few other potential ones to watch. Joe McFadden was better than anyone else last night, but he hasn't maintained that level throughout.

Susan Calman is Fabulous

I gave up on Strictly halfway through last night. Never thought I'd see the day. Just can't be bothered about anyone apart from Brian and Susan. After they'd danced I just turned to another channel. I'm disappointed in myself but also in the BBCs choice of competitors.

Anton is so nice. His self-deprecating sense of humour puts his partners at ease.

Absolutely loved Anton in his retro-samba! Very clever to keep the eye on him as Ruth isn't really built for samba! It was a highlight for me. Love Anton when he is doing proper ballroom too - in tails.

Yes, I loved it too anno and thought the arms were really good, even H who half watches under sufference said "now that's what I call a paso"
I wasn't as impressed with Alexandra this week.

For me the highlight last night was Joe McFadden's Paso. It was a brilliantly choreographed routine which took full advantage of his training as an actor. The Flamenco arm movements were perfect - it looked and felt authentically Spanish. Shirley's comments and her 10 were well deserved.

In answer to AyjayF I read that the professional dancers learn all the routines in the summer before the show proper starts. Then they just have to have minimal rehearsals to bring them back to performance readiness.

Anyone else think that Anton excelled himself last night? Brilliant routine, so camp it was hilarious. I shall try and remember to watch that again when I need a boost!

I wonder when the professional dancers get time to rehearse their display routines?

I guess you've made your point, paddyann

At least there's a few repeats for it not being accurate!

What happened there???

the problem is the more people repeat the more idiots believe it ...frankly I'm sick of folk who say we're mean .Its insulting and not accurate .
