Absolutely rooting for Nancy to go first, solely to keep Lulu in another week mwaaahahahaha!
At first I thought all that stuff with the boa was intentional! Using comedy to distract us from the sight of Nancy dancing. To be fair, she already seemed nervous and the boa malfunction probably shot her concentration to pieces.
Holly also seems to be very nervous, I think she'll improve considerably in the next couple of weeks.
Audley did better than I was expecting, I hope he stays in for a long time because I really like Natalie. On that note, also pleased that Kristina has got a good partner - Jason's dance was definitely the highlight of the shows.
I thought Robbie was better than the judges gave him credit for - I didn't like the gimmick with the hoodie though. Russell's dance was very entertaining, but I predict he'll be another comedy contestant who stays in past his prime. I'd be happy if he was around for a few weeks while the wheat is seperated from the chaff, but wouldn't want to see him remain while decent dancers are eliminated.
Couldn't believe the Craig's 7 for Chelsee!
Yep, hope Lulu stays a few weeks for comedy/bitchiness value.
Nancy wasn't too bad on the 7 steps or so she actually danced - will be interesting to see how the next one goes.
Rory was quite good, but I thought he had his Tony Blair face on, which was very distracting.
Some pretty promising performances - far too early to call who will even be in the top 5. Some smugness too.............
My favourites are Jason (as a realistic chance), Russell (enthusiasm and undisguised campness) and Audley (how someone that size can be so light-footed, and off 3 days training, not a bad dancer at all).
Pitchforks out for Lulu and Chelseeeeeee.
Oh my goodness, Lulu. Words fail me (a rare occurance).
Poor, poor Anton.
Harry could be the dark horse of the competition.
Russell is camper than the programme itself. Love it.
Chelseeeeeeeeeeee is going to annoy the living hell out of me.
Rory was lovely but it wil all depend on the latin.
GO JASON AND ANITA!!
Aaaaaaaaarrgh - my internet at home is on strike so I can't watch what I missed on Saturday and it's driving me nuts and I reckon I'd be pushing my luck watching it at work!!!
Hiya Floosie - did you hear I've got a 3rd officially now?
Did anyone watch ITT yesterday? I taped it but haven't had time to watch it yet. Is Zoe any good?
Podds - no I didn't! Tell me more!!!
TopSec - Krstina was with Goldie last year.
Little Nemo - I haven't seen ITT yet, hope to catch it tonight!
I watched ITT this afternoon and it was OK. Zoe is no Claudia but she knows what she's talking about and she's a natural in front of the camera. Just miss Claudia ditziness
Zoe told Lulu that lots of people on the internet (BBC site?) were rooting for her - not on this site and DS they aint!!
I've seen the first ITT and I thought Zoe did a good job. She's never going to be able to match Claudia's mad flights of fancy but she had a nice level of real enthusiasm. Good shoes too! And I loved the bit at the beginning where she danced with all the male pros.
I didn't mind Lulu and Brendan too much either - but I'd like to see the forum where she's getting loads of support, if it exists that is!
From DS site ....
Well, sincere apologies but Jude's right; I won't be able to do this anymore.
But before I retire to the oasis of serenity that is the JfW household, I can tell you that Hammy has declared Holly to be the one true love of his life and he's backing up that sentiment with a mallet, the cat was so appalled by Lulu's performance that it left the room in disgust (well, I think it was disgust - in my experience they lack the expressive ingenuity of hamsters) and I've decided I need glasses; not that there's anything wrong with my eyesight - I just want to fill them with gin to drown out the memory of Nancy's waltz.
Many thanks for the support over the last three years.
JfW, Mrs JfW, Cat and Hammy
Oh bad news indeed TS. But a great little farewell message.
Oh no - what a disaster - JfW was the absolute highlight of the whole 3 months
The boys Floosie
Nooooo!
Good luck to JfW, Mrs JfW, Hammy and the cat, thanks for all the laughs over the years
Lovely greyhounds, Podds
And oh how I love greyhounds! I have hound envy!! My next dog will be a greyhound. After the cat has died. My collie cross would love a long legged pal!!
Aww thanks for the hound appreciation - anyone who likes my hounds is always welcome at my front door
Some greyhounds are cat friendly you know Len 2........
The bottom one in the picture could easily live with a cat although I have to say the other 2 wouldn't!!
Right - in Strictly news, I have decided that I quite like Zoe Ball. She's not Claudia, but she's shaken up ITT a bit, which is good. Another one of Len's masterclasses and I may have got a bit bored. And she has got Ian Waite to come on weekly - which can't be bad
From last nights interview, I don't think Nancy likes Anton very much, she doesn't seem to appreciate his humour lol. I wonder if she thought she was going to get one of the hunky professionals, and got Anton..? Ha ha!
And I think I'm in love with Artem. Sshhhhh
I believe Claudia is doing the Sun night results show so we should be able to get some of her witticisms then
Still in two minds about Nancy, I like her and would love her to stay in but am not sure whether she comes across well in interviews?? She seems to have a problem putting together a coherent sentence although both Anton and Zoe did interrupt a lot.
Karen's comment on CC on Tues night re Lulu and how dancing is a great leveller was brilliant! More or less saying, you're no big star here, just get on with it!
Must start watching ITT then if Zoe is getting the thumbs up although I was never very keen on her when she was a contestant I have to say
Problem is that 6pm is usually post work dog walking time so I guess they'll just have to walk a bit faster so I'm in time to settle down and watch
- will miss it tonight as am out but will try to catch up tomorrow maybe.........
It's on at 6:30, Podds
I tape it and watch it when I get home from work. It's nice to relax with a cup of coffee and some chocolate before I have to do boring things like washing up, dinner etc.
Oh excellent - 6.30 is much more practical
Now if only they could make the saturday show post swim training time my happiness would know no bounds
(or is that just a little bit sad?
)
... and no, it is not sad
Podds - your hounds are gorgeous and have made me want another one even more. We have to wait until things sort themselves out with mine and Raffles' jobs though. I am working on a Spring adoption for chez Floose.
Re: Zoe and ITT - I have only seen it once this week but I thought she was good. She's really keen and enthusiastic and comes across as a real fan.
Morning All
Hooray for a spring adoption Chez Floosie
Last night's night out got postponed so watched ITT and I think I can live with Zoe although she's still not my fave!
Also spent nearly 2 hours trying to get my internet working at home but with no luck so no iplayer for me at the moment sadly....... Need to phone internet peeps today if possible and see what I can sort out......... I soooooooooo do not understand techie stuff
Caught up with Wednesday's ITT last night. So lovely to see Ian Waite back again. Slightly scared by Holly's shoes, can you really walk in 8" stilettos? Should I be worried that I knew who was dancing in the gorilla suit?
Just realised that Saturday's show is going to be 2 hours long! I'll definitely be watching that with the aid of my hard-drive recorder and I'll need to start shopping NOW to get in enough supplies.
2 hours
Thank goodness for the hard drive recorder and the pause button.
Just realised that I have to get up early to see the rugby and go and visit a friend to deliver birthday presents. It's going to be a long day and I may have to resort to a take-away!
Same here LN - well, about the rugby and SCD, at least!
I'm enjoying Zoe, she's not Claudia but she's doing an OK job - and I second the appreciaton of Ian's reappearance. All she has to do now is get Matthew back ...
30 mins to go!
Been up since 7 watching rugby so I'm really tired now. Put off visiting my friend until tomorrow and I have a ready meal on standby for later. I'll be having a strong coffee and some chocolate to try and perk myself up...
