Watching live once again.

Gives me that weird feeling I get when I watch SCD Show live.
I thought for a minute you had a time machine

looking forward to seeing the show.....it looks like last week's ballroom couples will be doing a jive, and the last week's latins will be doing a quickstep

cant wait to see Carson's quickstep

and David's jive....I predict props here

LOL,

I just watched.

I created a good sleep pattern so I can watch live yet still be awake in the morning etc.

Very good show and Len was 100% correct in proving the point by giving Nancy 8. Because the other Quicksteps all looked like freestyle rubbish. Felt sorry for Nancy and Chaz tonight and also Carson as he really tried. lol

I voted for

Carson - 5 Votes
Nancy - 5 Votes
Chaz - 1 Sympathy Vote.

Thought I would vote based on personality this week than on Performance cause I am confident the best dancers will get through and hopefully Elisabetta / Kristen will leave this week.

I thought it was a very eclectic mix of celebs, and I love the fact that the new set is "blackpool"
That set is amazing....Just watched last weeks on Watch, last night.....and the Stairs Move.

If MY Kristin Cavallari {who} doesn't Win.....the Army Guy J.R. Martinez, will.

I'm feed up with Ricki, already.
The Troupe...I like.
Chynna.....Made up Spelling.

And Carson, does Move like Jagger...

Don't like Ricki.Much as I like JR I can't warm to his pro (and never have been able to).Can't help it I love David and Carson and have a soft spot for Chaz.

Elisabetta(sp?) is so wooden

It was so good to see Derek back.

Carson really put a smile on my face

I can appreciate she is a fantastic dancer there is just something about her I don't like..just one of those disliking for no apparent reason things

Elisabetta is very wooden I expected her to be much better (again for no apparent reason a bit like Calzaghe I suppose)but I like Val. Kristin not sure about yet.

J.R is the only one that's delivering at the moment for me, really can't understand how Ricki got to the top of the leaderboard over him

Does anyone else think the standard is lower this season or are the judges just being more critical? Len only giving out one 8 by week 2 is even harsh for him

Elisabetta is my choice to leave, she seems very cold and is giving no performance quality

I hope you are correct as I dont want David to leave, he and Carson are my favourite contestants this season. It was evident to me David had put in a lot of effort in training. He's obviously not a football player, otherwise he'd have done better in his kicks and flicks

I agree with those who think the standard is lower this season compared to last, but I think the marks have been very erratic mind you I always think that

Is week 2 too soon to do a jive I wonder? After the cha cha I dont think any other latin dance is easy. It'll be interesting to see how our Strictly celebs cope with the salsa as 1st or 2nd latin.

I also believe the standard is much lower than in previous seasons. Still the same however, is the erratic marking by the judges. Apart from JR's, all dances were overmarked. In stark contrast to last week. Perhaps the producers had a word with the judges?
What was Len thinking giving Nancy an 8 for a meagre performance and JR a 7 for the best dance of the night?
A proper foxtrot my @ss.

The jive is always going to be a difficult dance when performed. Whilst the celebrities complain about needing stamina, they all still get through the dance much like the quickstep. When jives are performed later in the series they tend to be more precise and accurate but that's the same for all dances really.

...
Her mother and father were from the popular 60s group "The Mama's and the Papa's" so I think her name came due to the times (and enhanced psyhotropic feelings? lol).

Really can't figure out why JR wasn't top of the leaderboard!? Thought he deserved all 8s!

If i'm honest though i thought Elisabetta was most improved this week and really enjoyed her Quickstep, i wouldnt hesitate to say actually it was my favourite Quickstep of the night.

Hope & Maks were undermarked, better than Chynnas take on the Jive i feel

My usual source was a bit late, but finally the result show was delivered on my doorstep this morning.
The right result. Poor girl was lacking in all the departments that matter.

The judges wanted to see Ricki's Jive again. I guess to emphasize how bad their judgement was on monday night. A jive without proper kicks and flicks. Maybe it was the excessive gyrating that did the trick. Who knows.

The new Irish pro on DwtS has won a poll asking who's the hottest male pro - don't know about the website, but in an interview with Tom Bergeron, he said he thought that Maks and Derek were going to be very worried about this new guy:

I think he's fantastic. He said in an interview that he'd auditioned for Strictly and was turned down - I sure hope he's a keeper over here, assuming he wants to be.

Parent's....who'd have'em.

Week behind, with Watch...but still loving it....and JR, is sure to win this....His Lindy Hop...I mean Jive, was amazing.

And the Music....with all the Couples....stunning, miles better then SCD...it is,Proper Big Band tunes.

Everyone upped their game this week I thought although the judges still inflated the scores which is annoying after two weeks of marking conservatively.

Either Chaz or Nancy to go I think, probably Chaz.

I was very surprised by Rob Kardashian. Previously he's seemed very stiff and wooden to me. This week I thought there was a lot of grace and movement in his dance.

I've had to watch Ricki's rumba several times and have decided it was very understated. I like the "flowy" costumes that the women usually wear for this dance.

off to YT to watch some of the others now
