    Unfortunate that they didn't let us have much of a look at the CCC.

    Rachel is getting better and I think it will look more like it is intended to look than the Salsa.
    Its really unfortunate that they have such a fast song. I'm guessing that wasn't Pasha's choice.

    Her arms are looking better for sure. I didn't see much of the straight leg but maybe they have progressed a bit more since the clip was filmed. Again the fast song isn't going to help to get the legs exactly right.

    There are signs though that Rachel is getting better at learning.

    Last sentence, that's positive as a beginner will take longer to learn and brush up on technique and performance. Sounds encouraging Fatskia, whatever the judges score or say.:rolleyes:
    All the best to them for later.:)
    I really like the song they have, one of the better ones this week.:D
    Thanks for all recent links everyone.

    Hows everyone..............................actually, where's everyone????? It's unusually quiet!!

    I think Rachel is going to have a better week this week with the Cha Cha. She seems to be loving it, at least, from one of her recent tweets. Let's hope she gets some decent comments.

    Looking at the training, Natalie actually looks like a professional!!!?? Heavens, I think everyone else seems to be on a different level. It's going to be an amazing rumba for her! No wonder Artem can't keep the smile off his face.

    Looking forward to seeing all the other couples tonight. Apart from our two, I really don't have any other firm favourites yet. There are so many I enjoy at the moment for different reasons. Loved Kevin's impressions of the judges.................I think he's a really down to earth guy. Talking about being so nervous, etc. Not afraid to say it.

    Dying to see what Rachel's dress will be like. She has a fabulous figure. Mind you, my eyes might be wandering.........................................focus, focus.

    A nice article here,

    http://www.dailystar.co.uk/tv/strictly-come-dancing/344531/The-Life-of-Rachel-Riley-Countdown-brainbox-s-hectic-schedule-adds-up-to-a-lot-of-fun

    Looking forward to their cha cha tonight:) I, for one, am enjoying Rachel's j****** , I think she's a lovely, natural girl who is giving it her best, and I don't think for a minute that Pasha is losing patience with her. (mere editing:p)

    Thanks for the reminder Kelley on James and Alex's cha cha, had completely forgotten it!

    She does have a fabulous figure GG, very envious of the long pins :D

    :eek::eek: Maybe they're thinking longer is sexier? :rolleyes:
    I'm getting a DVO salsa look vibe but with straight hair here.

    Is it only me that the pictures aren't sharp and clear? :confused:

    I don't know if I can be around tonight :cry::cry:, but I'll keep any eye on this thread or the Cafe if someone would kindly post when to vote..:)

    DVO's dress rehearsal salsa look: http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/944x531_b/p012135g.jpg James changed to white for the actual show
    I think it was more the colour that reminded me of it. :p:o I remember the dance for the skirt waving and THAT ending of her face ending in his crotch...I can't seem to scrub it out of my head; I've tried. :cry::cry:
    Thanks Pashulty, I'll keep my eye on the cafe.

    Yeah, a different look maybe from the short hair, and she can flick it around the place. Beautiful colour dress. She looks fab. Pasha's braces look as if they're holding his trousers up!! I'm not that keen on vests, although I'll make an exception in Pasha's case. Back to the shiney shoes, socks, hairy legs and dressing gown. Yeah, "much better" in Pasha's best yorkshire.

    Natalie's dress reminds me of Kara's rumba dress. It looks like a similar style, only in blue.

    Kristina looks as though she's wearing a hankerchief:eek:

    I cant understand Pasha's outfit. Hopefully it makes sense on the night.

    Comparing Rachel to Ben.

    He is a fit world class athlete who has to be nimble with good co-ordination of hands and feet to catch and pass the ball. He also is logging high training hours figures.
    He is in the same boat as Rachel as someone who is a complete beginner.
    With less hours to train, I think Rachel compares well.

    That is nothing against Ben who I think may in the long term become a good dancer if he gets enough time, but it does show that it can take a lot of time even if you have good co-ordination to start with.
    Just a reality check on how Rachel is doing.

    Pasha has taken to the 'much better' accent very well ;):D... I love it when he says that... and agree with the BIB and nought else on GG...:eek::o:o ... My darling Pasha... ooo...laaaa :o:o

    Much prefer the cha cha dress to the wild fringes last week.

    Didn't take the vest and braces as Pasha's outfit - presumably he wasn't in costume yet? If not, I'm quite happy with Pash-in-a-vest :cool:

    Second sentence, hope so Teeswolf.:)
    Thanks Peppy for newspaper link and thanks Pashulty for dress rehearsal pics.
    Love Rachel's dress and quite like Susanna's and Iveta's. Also from what we can see of Karen's good colours there and Deborah's looks rather good too.
    Think they ran out of material to finish Kristina's.:eek:
    Enjoy the show folks.:)
