I thought it would be Richard and Victoria and wouldn't have minded which one went. Thought V's routine was poor.

To be honest I am sick of people bemoaning that Denise is a dancer , every year the same comments come out about someone in the show.
It's an entertainment show, enjoy it for what it is, the contestants don't seem to be moaning about unfair advantages When they actually did some charleston in a very overmarked routine last night, it was almost the same choreography from the last duet with Roxie and Velma in Chicago. I am sure that the public will see sense. I may need to remortgage the house to phone in as I can't stand James anyway. I do like her normally. I don't think she has done herself any favours by appearing in this. |

Denise is a professional

They're not going to in public. Previous contestants have had experience, but I can't remember anyone with the experience of Denise. Young Cosette in Les Miz as played by Kimberley is hardly the same as Roxie Hart or Paulette in Legally Blonde.

I know Jill Halfpenny went on to appear (as Paulette?) in Legally Blonde many years after and will probably have had stage training (although there was probably not much call for THAT jive in Byker Grove, heee!) And I am racking my brains to think of any other stage performers... Emma Bunton - Stage school, choreo-ed routines Louise Lytton probably benefited from stage school training Rachel Stevens, etc etc etc Most actors will have had some form of dance training, most pop singers will have been choreographed... I like Denise, but I worry whether the James Jordan effect will kibosh her anyway - the odds on early faves tend to fall at the final hurdle. |

Cherie Lunghi's CV apparently had that she was a professional level dancer, or something like that. I remember there being OUTRAGE anyway.

Can I just say got to talk to Richard and Erin and they were gutted but sooi lovely
i got to speak to them straight after... honouredObvs not as much for them having just gone out! Did you record it as well - what is the difference watching it there, versus what we saw on the night? Curious, because it just doesn't seem to translate as well when they do a huge venue |

Being trained at a stage/drama school does NOT make them professional ballroom dancers!!! It just means that they know how to present the dance better and can probably pick up the routine quicker.

Public vote permutations
Meant to do this last night but my internet was down.
Not much to say about this week's result except: Nicky not in the top 3. Richard not in the top 2. Victoria and Louis not in the bottom 2. Lisa not in last place. |

Series One - Claire Sweeney had JUST finished as Roxie when she appeared.

Natalie Cassidy went to stage school Michelle 'bambii' Williams played Roxie in Chicago Jerry Hall has even appeared in a musical in the west end ![]()

Well, the thing about Victoria, as some of you are saying, is that she jsut doesn't really imporve noticeable. I think she is very sweet - and actually quite beautiful - but somehow (incomprehensibly) her nerves keep getting in the way. I thought the bike was daft, just a PR stunt really and left Brendan cape swirling for too long.

Was Michael's dance really that good? Here in Scotland we got a Gaelic programme suddenly over riding SCD. I thought I had sat on the remote again, but no. And whilst it was an interesting programme, I was a bit cross to miss the last part of Strictly.

It's always the way though isn't it... Performers have no issue with that side, and some can pick up routines if they do it a lot in the "day" job (singers etc)... Sportspeople are used to being coached and perfectionists but struggle with the performance of it... We, of course, just excel at watching... with perfect extensions and expert analysis

Coming to the thread late this week but grateful as usual for the spoilers.
I did have a bit of a soft spot for Richard but think it was right that he went this week. Thought his dance had very little content - anyone else think Erin let him down a bit with that one ? |

Earlier, cant remember when, we were told that the pro dancers get choreography help for the salsa, charleston and AT, as it's not their specialisms. |

I think it was a dance he found hard to master, based on the training videos we saw.
