Can you imagine how their showdance will be if they reach the final?
Yes, great fun and thoroughly entertaining if their routines so far are anything to go by

In my opinion, Natalie doesn't think she's going to win. I doubt she'd have agreed to start back in Eastenders if she thought she'd still be in the later stages of the contest.

Secondly, I don't believe Natalie was over-marked in comparison to the likes of Ali and Ricky W who seem to achieve 9's regardless of how well they dance.

Thirdly, the reason people like me think Natalie has a personality is because we find her vibrant, funny, warm, endearing. I think it's patronising to assume we can't for an opinion of our own.

And she's made far greater strides than someone like Ali who is at about the same standard as she was at the start. I've seen no improvment in her Latin (she still can't let go and deliver any kind of a performace) and her Ballroom has always been competent.
Thank you for that post, Sid.

The spite and venom directed at Natalie has been unbelievable. I was going to reply to the post which you responded to, and your thoughts were similar to mine, but delivered in far more eloquent way than I could have.

Natalie has a difficult dance tonight, and I would love to see her last in the competition for another week or two, so I shall continue to cheer on her and Vincent for as long as they are there.

She said again tonight that she wants to be there again next week. It really irritatates me when she does that. The others don't

Of course they do!

They're all at it.

She looked lovely tonight. First time she hasn't looked over 50!

EDIT: the over 50 look being the fault of wardrobe/make up/hair not her. Will we ever see the likes of the dreaded bow made of hair again?

I thought that was her best dress so far.

Sadly her dance was dreadful. She has gone as far as she can go.

Not if the public continue to vote for her

Granted it wasn't her best dance, but she has been improving week by week and she was unfortunate this week to get the most difficult latin when every other couple was dancing ballroom.

Sadly, (as I admire her determination even if her dancing is a little clompy at times) I think she'll go next week. The new dances are great for her acting skills but not nevessarily right for her style of dancing. She's much better in hold imo

She simply does not have what it takes to do Latin. She does not have the talent to go any further. There are better people there than her, and that is a simple fact. I have taught enough people to dance to know how far they can get.

If the public vote her in over someone like Ali or Ricky Whittle it will be very sad, but so be it. I'd rather vote for someone who has talent than vote out of pity.

I'd still like Laila to go out before Nat.

Depends on the dances they both get I suppose.

Natalie is obviously very popular with the public and thats fine by me, she isnt getting my vote but she would if Chris and Ola went out. I accept that some people may find her a bit OTT but I think she is a sweet girl who wears her heart on her sleeve, and isnt afraid to express her feelings.

I dont think for a minute she has illusions of being better than she is, she is just enjoying her time one week at a time. ALL the couples say they want to stay in to next week so she isnt alone in that.

She looked lovely tonight, she was unlucky to have the only Latin of the night and I am glad she is still in.

Oh and she is my Mums favourite.

I think you're right there! Laila has the ability but is actually lazy and a bit of a diva. Natalie has no real talent but a lot of drive and a very healthy ego. She puts on a very good act. Laila doersn't hide who she is. What a pair!

They should both do the charleston and totally blow it!

Have you noticed that the judges rarely comment on her dancing? Usually it's something like " you're so full of energy" "you're just what this competition is all about" "you put everything onto that dance" "you really looked like you enjoyed that". Where is the actual judging?

That's because if the judges were allowed to say what they really wanted to, there would be another controversy... bullying the fat girl.

shame on the Strictly voters for continually putting her through. She should have gone out about a month ago. Her dance tonight was woeful. If Tufnell had danced that he would have got 4s or 5s. Instead, Alesha gives her an 8 f.f.s. It is beyond a joke.
Her and Hollins' progress baffles me and has ruined this series.
No doubt Laila will be out next just to kill this series even more.

can't wait for Laila to be out, she is a total whiner and hasn't done one memorable dance

all that's memorable about Laila is her wardrobe...

My thoughts exactly - she looked really beautiful and her own age for once
problem is Natalie's clearly going to do the 'guppy fish at feeding time' face all the way through it
Are you CRH?
I thought that was her best dress so far.

Sadly her dance was dreadful. She has gone as far as she can go.
You may be surprised at the Samba scores so far then:
8 have danced it - 2 left to do it - 6 left before they could
3 shared the top score of 32, Laila 28 then Natalie 26 so not as dreadful as some would think considering the lowest was 14!
The problem tonight I think was there was no other Latin to compare it with - first time this series.

I couldn't agree more. It's really annoying me now

Wow you now decide who you want to win SCD by doing the opposite to what I do at the betting shop

I got a bet on Man Utd to win the Premiership so I guess you are now a Chelsea fan

No no Bhoy, my decision to who I want to win has sweet f*** all to do with you. Its actually based (shock horror) on who is the best dancer, unlike you who watches SCD with his betting slips in mind. I want Ricky W to win, becuse he is the best dancer.

And no, I am not a Chelsea fan. I am a Liverpool supporter. A difficult team to support but I will love them forever.

Well I am a Celtic fan but Liverpool has always been my fav English team too cause of King Kenny so yet again we are having more in common

You want to come round for dinner this week?
