And its going to be on SCD. Cheryl Cole has made it clear they're choosing SCD over XFactor, so expect a big boost in the ratings when it happens

I certainly think they could be the perfect pairing. She's attractive and coupled with a popular professional, they had a very good start, and theres the likelihood of strong public support. I think Kimberley needs to engage with her partner more, she played to the audience a bit too much..but this is probably a result of her stage performances in GA.
Joint second favourite now with the bookies @ 7/2..not very generous in my opinion. It's early days, but they would be my tip to win.

I'm not so sure. Vincent and Dani seemed to have a better behind the scenes partnership and this has a huge impact on viewer perceptions. They may just pip Kimberley and Pasha to the post in the final three.

This news depresses me, Kimberley can do very well on Strictly Come Dancing without Cheryl Cole miming in her bitch fight with Simon Cowel.

Kimberley had the Wow factor last week, and didn't disappoint this week, looking beautiful in black.

Craig said,

" Absolutely gorgeous, loved the routine. "


Len was just plain grumpy.


Bruno said,

" Loved the set up

Loved the style

Loved the performance

Loved the whole thing it looked very pretty.


Well done Kimberley

I thought Kimberley was terrific last week, but I rather agreed with Len this week. She seemed to stumble a bit and didn't look at all happy or comfortable during the routine.

She said herself that she messed it up.

I agree with that. Looked to me like she forgot it and Pasha dragged her around! The bits she did remember were graceful, but I was shocked that none of them commented on her messing up apart from Len. I doubt it'll do her any favours in the long run if the judges are so lenient too often, don't want her being as much of a judges' favourite as the likes of Pamela, as that quickly grates on some people!

I really liked them tonight and couldn't understand all the negative comments?

I think they're one of the best matched couples and seemed to have a great partnership right from the start.

The negative comments really knocked her for six - you could tell she was upset.

Fabulous, Kimberley and Pasha through to next week, well done.

They are one couple who have the rapport and togetherness when they dance.....

It was a fine dance, choregraphed so well, but just a little off-balance, but didnt quite deserve what Len said

Kimberley nailed the quick step tonight, shame the wardrobe department let her down, great marks though and a seven from Craig.

she looked fit ooops mean beautiful

great dance nice partnership

That was a lovely dance, such a good connection together

I thought it was ok tonight, they still don't excite me as I thought they would. And there was gapping and she didn't seem particularly stable at points. I thought it was fairly marked, but Craig seems to be far more lenient on them than some others, and I don't think that necessarily works in their favour...

Kimberley's good, but she still looks uncomfortable in hold.

Kim and Pash aced that quickstep tonight, it took a few weeks but I am seeing them gel now. I think Kimberleys attitude has changed and its shows in her dancing (and Pashas face lol).

Thought they were completely under marked. Deserved a 30 at least IMO. Fast, light, exciting, they looked confident and put me a ease watching. Great stuff. More next week please Pash, you're doing a great job on her

I love watching this couple, they look so right together. Kimberley has a vunerable quality to her and the lovely gentle Pasha is her perfect partner. (can you imagine her with Anton?) I must admit i wasn't expecting to like Kimberley, but her sweet nature appears genuine,unlike the shark eyed Cole who i believe resided on the other channel. I hope they go far.

Their QS didn't have the wow factor IMO. Still prefer Harry's and Chelsee's from last year.

I have a funny feeling Kimberley and Pasha are going to dance really well this week and end up at the top of the leader board, I hope I'm right.

Terry, are you a meerkat?

Yeah, I agree, if not top then very close. I am reeeeally looking forward to their 'Pasha' Doble *girly squeal*

It looks like you were right with your very close to the top of the leader board, joint second for Kimberley and Pasha.

I am appalled at Len though, he is SO unfair with his scores. A 7!!!??!?!! Please!

Her arms and shaping were gorgeous, that was a brilliant performance, well deserved an 8. He marked her down for her expression. Jesus. Time to retire!

This should be with the other appreciation threads.

The thread police!

^^I've been around long enough to remember why the appreciation threads were introduced and to remember the problems there used to be before. It's a very good policy to keep these threads distinct and separate.
