SO Nicole rated Chelsee's salsa higher than Holly and commented on the same thing that some of us are noticing.There this gap/lack of chemistry (I dont know) between Artem and Holly and its hindering their performances.
I just love her comments .Very concise and self-explanatory.I also love her comment about Russel, That was lovely and I agree with her.

Here's a rather nice blog that I came across, authored by David Thomas (who writes thrillers as Tom Cain) writing for saga magazine http://www.saga.co.uk/homeandlifesty...er-10-2011.asp (no I don't have saga magazine on order, but came across it using google!)

Still it makes a different read from some of the others because, not surprisingly it focuses a bit more on the older celebs, and because it is generally quite positive .(and you'll like what it has to say about Russell, Dilly. ),

Oh that was a good one, and they don't sit on the fence much do they? ....

Some good witty comments there though, and you are right I did like the comments about Russell and totally agree with them.

I don't know why I'm so surprised, but Jimi is a rather engaging writer! I love all the backstage photos and gossip he provides too.

I liked that blog - thanks for unearthing it. I find it amusing, though, that he forgot to mention Dan & Katya - that's how memorable they are, I guess... Oh, and he's paired Jason with Ola rather than Kristina. Picky, picky peeve...

Jimi's got a bit of a technology obsession hasn't he?

I noticed that too - elementary mistake which was unfortunately at the start of the report and detracted from a good write up.

Thanks for all the links again!

My favourite is Nicole's - just brilliant. So easy to read, but full of great detail. I also really like David's from Saga (thanks VL) and Jimi's - both are easy to read, interesting and entertaining too!

My feeling about Camilla's blog this week is that I could almost have written it and I'm not even a dancer - I've just always watched SCD and DWTS.

Each to their own though - we are lucky to have so much choice!

Peach

P.S. My background is a Dance teacher/dancer and I may be slightly biased towards Brendan but I'll try not to be

I enjoyed your blog PeachUK.

(Nothing wrong with being biased towards Brendan . In any case it didn't stop you from making some fair criticisms -I agree that it might help if the choreography was simplified a bit.)
Interesting too that all of the dance teacher and professional blogs (including the one that edy10 has just posted after my post) are complimentary about Rory, but Craig was very dismissive, both on the show and ITT. Just what is his problem?

Nice to see edy's dug out another blog (which is a good read).

Love the Dancing Times blog (very funny), and nice to see a mention for my local venue, the Rivoli Ballroom

Hi Buddy

On the other hand it's still more in-depth than an awful lot of the guff that the judges who are actually getting paid to appear on the show manage and If you could do Camilla's blog I could equally stand in for any of them and be a sight more constructive in my comments

...and while I'm on a roll, I think I could also choreograph a routine without any props and very little faffing abaht - which is more than some of the pro's seem to manage these days
