They probably prefer their training time to be kept as training sessions though (especially if time is limited).

Personally i think its Natalie he fancies not Alesha, he always gives her those romantic looks during the show.

After tonight I have come to the conclusion that Katya is my favourite .

Aliona didn't seem to fit the SCD swing of things, choreography wise.

And Natalie - even with Mr A+ and gold star to mask her personality she doesn't seem the cheeriest soul in the world.

I agree SCD I wouldnt be too bothered if I didnt see Natalie or Aliona again but I like Katya

I hope Jade can do a good Jive, they did seem quite subdued. I'm sure they're probably just tired.

Phil actually looked ok. I think Katya is a good partner for him- she can keep him in line!

I'm looking forward to Ali and Ricky W based on the training footage, A bit worried about Natalie and Laila.

There was a lot in that show. The only bit I could do without was Len.

Craig being Craig.

Laila denting my hopes for the Paso. Anton seemed to be throwing her around a bit, but mainly the problem seems to be that she likes to worry instead of just getting on with it.

Ricky G might be OK.

Phil doesn't have much for a Rumba except hips, and he needs to figure8 them for the Rumba. Katya looks like she is going for a full on sexy Rumba, so he better get started, or - as he said - he'll look like an adolescent.

Jade is a real character, and can make even a grey vest and shorts look sexy. We didn't see much good training, but they sound confident.

If Chris can actually dance with the tape over his mouth - hooray! Learning to dance to the music instead of counting should be good for him.

Ricky W and Ali should both be good this week.

Natalie will please everyone interested in performance without technique.

I was indifferent to Aliona till she came out last Saturday with Mathew and sizzled on the floor . Their dance wowed me .

Can any one tell me if I was alone in laughing out loud at Vincent
Did he or did he not say he was so excited a little bit of saleeeva came out of his mouth ????

I think Aliona has formed a great dance partnership with Matt and they can do some dazzling dances. She needs to improve her teaching skills, but that aside, she has livened the show up - at least for us men.

Katya I have grown to like. She's sexy, a good teacher and we're starting to see her fun side.

Natalie is businesslike, excellent at ballroom and surprisingly good at latin too.

Same here, she seems really relaxed atm

You weren't alone - Vinny often provides lots of little 'lol moments.'

And tonight I figured out what/who he reminds me of - Tumnus the fawn in A Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe!

Ooh I do hope so. His shimmys were looking very good I thought Natalie got her elusive 30 last week and now hopefully it will be Ricky's turn.

Definately the funniest Claudia's been all week.

Sid . well , we meet again !
I remember the famous " shaking like a leaflet " from last year .Still makes me smile .

And my husband ( also non native speaking ) announced that his boss was like a "bear in a china shop "tonight !!

Bless him, how cute!

(Can I have his number)

Step away and stick to those who reverse white vans .

Haha!

At least tell me where he's from.....give me something to fantasise about for when I settle down to Question Time later and the panel address a really boring question

German . Howsat ?

Only just got round to watching tonights ITT

How on earth did Claude manage to stand in those heels let alone dance (after a fashion)?

Liking the look of Jade's jive.

Nat's QS looks very shaky unless that training footage is from Monday

Me too

Yes!!!!! Definitely - I just couldn't work out who he reminds me of.
Well done Sid

Craig is as dull, deluded and dreadful as ever, I see from the round up on ITT

Poor Flavia.

If he really is like what we see on ITT, it must be very difficult to spend hours every day working with him. She's certainly earning her money for this series.

Flavia , bless her , has that look about her that she would rather be clearing out drains most of the time
