Bonnie Tyler tomorrow!! Wow!

Do we need to see all of them sweating?!

was it just me or was that Ian being bithy .

I think eveyone should vote for them, I've seen their jive!

I think Ian is looking older this year, but he is ageing well!

Love Ian's joke about Anton and Laila's jive!

Facial hair and camp are in no way mutually exclusive.

Are you sure that was a joke?!

I'd love to learn to dance with him too (and most of the other pros too)

Remembering Laila's Cha Cha I still think she has trouble keeping a fast beat and I believe her when she says she is struggling to remember the choreography this week.

Oooh Ian miaow! I read somewhere earlier this week (might've been on Monkseal's blog) that there was some snide remark from Anton along with some Laila sniggering after Ian made the comment post-Salsa about the marks not matching the comments. Revenge for Mr Waite is sweet methinks!

Well, no. Of course he could have a moustache and goatee and look camp, but he seemed to be trying for the macho designer stubble look and failing miserably.

If he wants proper macho designer stubble he should have a look at Kristina.

Unless the massive positivity from Laila & Anton towards their salsa was some sort of PR job (over something only I even thought I noticed), I think I probably misinterpreted something...

Can't say I noticed it at the time... however I can't go back and check now because I can't get the BBC website to load - is this just my computer having a paddy, or is it not loading for other people too?

ETA: Working now - ignore me!

Evening all

Oh dear, Laila's Jive looks dire!

If she survives this week, she'll need to produce something special when it comes to the Salsa and Samba or she really is out the running.

Ian & Jade are coming along nicely. I think they'll be the surprise package of the competition.

Natalie & Vincent didn't look as bad as they made out.....

All these quips and comments of tonight's ITT makes me want to watch it in iplayer, NOW!

Please, BBC, post the ITT on iplayer soon?

Noticed a lot of eep, eek, eew exclamations this evening in this thread, and am waiting to see 'bitchy', campy Ian talking about Anton's jive.

Apols Monkseal if I'm misquoting you I've read a few blogs this week (sadly and desperately searching for someone to be nice about Ricky W to no avail) so it could well have been some other blogger on the wide blogosphere!

How is everyones twitch fibres this evening ? Mine are a bit on the slow side but who knows how they might develope over time .

I really don't think Ian was being bitchy - he was just having a laugh, and I'm sure Laila & Anton took his comments in good spirit.

I agree with that - it was funny-bitchy, not bitchy-bitchy.

Bloody Norah (sorry to any Norahs)!
What DID Claudia have on? I missed the first 5. Was it a joke? A bet? A charity stunt? I know that woman has a sense of humour but still....

Craig Kelly! Energetic and cheeky - that's just me. The jive is me. On what parallel planet is that then, Craig?

I love Jade and Ian. Love them. And I like Anton and Laila too. Is that allowed?

Alesha.....

His mate Ramps told him he would have a great time

It made me laugh!

I thought both couples were very complimentary about each other (joking aside). It was nice.


The same thoughts were running through my mind.

Craig comes across as fairly laid back and subdued to me.

Can ask other posters opinion on the viennese waltzs shown tonight

How would you guess they would be marked

Natalie & Vincent
Jo & Brendan
Jade & Ian
Ricky & Natalie
Phil & Katya

So from\the training clips what would you guess their marks would be (combined judges mark)

And what would you estimate would Lailia & Anton's mark would be

As a footballer Chris should be able to point his toes when kicking - hoping to see that for the first time on Saturday.

Craig doing the choreography - I've got a bruise now from banging my head on the table.

I thought Laila would be more suited to the sensual latin dances, but not to that extent. At least we've been warned.

Phil looked good but not great ( I dont think he enjoys the VW).

Ricky G is improving fast. He may even become a good dancer.

Ricky W's VW could be good, but maybe not elegant enough?

Jade is starting to look like she might be able to do it all (if they can stay in it).

Ali's jive looked a bit too smooth.

A tough one for Natalie, but she's giving it her best shot.

Missed the start, but if Joe's got a jive, he might not be last this week.

So in tgerms of marks what would you guess each couple would get from the judges (Collective total)

So, no, we haven't.
