I really enjoyed Classical week.

I loved the young girl singing Ava Maria and the version of O Fortuna.

I hated totally some of the costumes this week (after really liking most of them over the weeks). Malissa - words failed me on this outfit Maks must have been feeling really iffy to select it. A strange dance, I didn't like a number of the unflattering lifts.

I liked Maria and Derek but they were overmarked - I thought it was strange that this happened but maybe that's what the dance duel has all been about - to protect her and Derek?

I was worried Roshan would drop Chelsie because there were some leg wobbles in there. I feel he has done well to get as far as he has because he lacks strength.

I like Peta, I went off Donald a bit when he kicked off about not getting all 10's for one of their dances. I know this shouldn't matter but it did for me.

I hate this obsession about getting 10's all the time - they've been handed out like confetti.

I like Katherine and Mark - she has beautiful hands and lines and she reminds me of Kara Tointon.

Tristan not good enough for SCD - wow on that, this man is an amazing dancer and I love him. I prefer a a lot of the choreography on DWTS to SCD. I think that Artem is the leader in interesting and innovative choreo in SCD and Derek is in DWTS. Just my opinion.

I am really loving this series and it's interesting that Louis dances most weeks in the pro dance (maybe the programme did let him down and offered him this as an alternative).

I missed Tristan this week - I want more of him.
Good post.
I agree with you I find Donald obsession of getting 10's a bit off-putting.
I know this season they handed 10's like confettis but you kind of have to earned it and I have a feeling that now a little bit of criticism is really going to hurt some of the contestants meaning the judges are going to start to be really tough with their comments.
Dont you know that Derek&Mark the 2 brothers are the Golden Boys of DWTS?
IMHO Derek whether some people like him or not is an excellent, excellent choreographer. I am always amazed by some of the choreo that he comes with.And being a good choreographer is making your partner looked good and he knows how to do it.
I agree that they were overmaked but there wont be any outcry of this (most DWTS blogs that I visit say that they completely deserve it:then again most of them are pro-Derek).
I cant say it enough but Melissa's dress was AWFUL;

The twist is dancing wth another pro Karma.
Dont know if I like this idea; its hard enough dancing with your pro and then you add another pro on the mix
So we will have threesomes next week for the latin round

I know that Maks choose Val for their Latin round
It seems like Cheryl chose Kym
Apparently Tristan was Maria's second choice for a pro so it seems like they will choose him.
Dont know who Roshon&C picked
People are speculating that Mark will choose Sasha(for the dance troup) or Tristan
As you can see this thing is a bit confusing to say the least
Oh thought that was just a bit of fun on the interview where they wrote their choices down, didn't realise it would become a reality, hope Kath gets Tristan, if I were her I'd have to fight Maria for him

Longer versions of the results show.

Just started to watch part 2, guess who had his hand on Kym's bum again. Laughingly Jaleel said to Max take your hand's off me, bet Kym was thinking the same about Jaleel.

I agree that jackie E. was great on Classical week. But some of the blogs that I visited said that they find "that voice coming from her body a bit creepy". I kind of agree.
From my understanding of what I read, she has to train her voice if she wants to have a succesful career(a bit like Katherine did or other classical singers do)
Because people with experience in singing.... were saying that she has to learn to hit notes that she is supposed to hit because it seems like now they(producers, managers......) are really pushing towards this career without giving her proper training;
I found it really interesting

Looking here and at the US boards to see what the teams and dances are/ might be.....

Maks/Melissa/Val
Cheryl/William/Kym (although, she is supposed to be doing DwtSLV next week, so....?)
Peta/Donald/Karina
Chelsie/Roshon/? (Anna perhaps?)
Derek/Maria/?
Mark/Katherine/?

Tony is supposed to be in the mix and possibly Sasha, but that would leave out Tris and I can't believe they would miss out on his popularity!

Apparently the celebs with the lowest scores got to pick first, but I don't know if that means overall or just last week and I don't know if they can pick same sex or not

Roshon: Paso Doble and Foxtrot
Donald: Jive and Tango
Melissa: Samba and ?
William: Paso Doble and Foxtrot
Katherine: Cha-Cha and Viennese Waltz
Maria: Samba and Waltz

I think Maria and Melissa will struggle with the samba. Katherine should be able to to a great VW and cha cha should be a walk in the park for her

Yep I agree she might even get a perfect score next week

Yeah can't see Derek being able to keep Maria in hold throughout the samba...but then who knows?!Expect stripping and canoodling as a distraction tactic. Melissa will struggle big time with the bounce and speed I would think but two Chmerkovskiys to hold onto Oh my! the lucky lucky lady.

Perhaps Lacey can come in instead of Kym if shes in Las Vegas?

Would expect Tris to go with Maria and Tony with Katherine but then Katherine would have got to choose before Maria presumably so who knows.

Think Katherine will be amazing in the VW but not so good in Cha Cha,I'm just not that convinced by her latin as her ballroom

Karina and Peta could be a good fit physically. Donald must be in heaven!
Think Donald has an amazing deal, Karina is unbeatable at the jive.

Lol! If it's to be her swansong (possibly ), then there are worse ways to go!

Melissa has only done QS and VW for ballroom. There are already 2 foxtrots, so perhaps either Walz or Tango for her. I hope, for her sake, she gets a lovely (in-hold) waltz.

Interestingly (or not, depending on your feelings on conspiracies ), Maria has had QS, FT and Tango as well as her close hold paso.....hmm.....

(Actually, I really like Maria, but do feel she's had an easier ride than some).

eta: Oh, and wasn't she in hold for her salsa, too??

I'm kinda glad Melissa is still there. Sure, she's a bit of a train wreck but it's entertaining.
What were witnessing now is classic Maks. First he breaks them down, then there's this strange transformation where they start to embrace the "us against the world" attitude.
Within days she should be as obnoxious and hostile as he is (like Hope was), as her subconscious mind takes over, giving her a way to cope with his constant abuse and lack of support.
Throw in some fast, Latin dances and next week is sure to be car crash TV.
Anyway, has anyone else found the treatment of William and his looks somewhat offensive? They wouldn't get away with it if he was female. And Bruno has been just vile at times.

Katherine did come first in the Motown Marathon.

I quite like her, but I wish Maria would recieve the scores she deserves! I hope her Samba is a disaster. I'm sure they'll give her tens :yawn:

In saying that I'm not convinced by her latin I mean it doesn't imo(obvously no one elses ) deserve 10's,I still think she's the best female celeb dancer on there and if Maria recieves high scores well yeah Katherine deserves higher than her.As for coming first in the motown marathon I would have put her third after Donald and Jaleel but again thats just personal preference. To me Maria and Melissa are much of a muchness dancing wise,Derek covers it better

Bet he flirts with Kath, he fancies himself

Laughed at the cryo therapy, bet the men were singing soprano too, after being in there, freezing their assets

Steve Jones . He's a welsh TV presenter currently plying his trade (it would seem) in LA. He was the presenter on the first series of X-Factor USA but I think they've ditched him! He also happens to be an ex-bf of Alex Jones who you will know from Strictly.
