Ha ha very true, can't forget the Osmonds.

Hi sunshine

Nothing untoward happened between Vic and Lindsay, Brooke was being a bit cringey in the Skybox and Vic said he loved Lindsay and it made them both look awkward as Brooke kept on about it.

Think Lindsay did the best she could with Vic and I hope to see her back next season.

Glad you are supporting Ingo, we all have our favourites, although this season I am not rooting for anyone in particular and haven't had the urge to vote.

BIB - I agree. It was an uphill task for her and I don't think Victor's heart was in it once he realised he wasn't going to be any good, but she seems to cop all the blame for it . I don't think you can really judge a new pro until they've had someone with potential as well as someone poor. It would have been a shame to judge Val on Elisabetta or Sherrie .

I don't have a standout favourite this season, though I'm enjoying Kellie and Derek's partnership the most, perhaps. I'll be fine with any one of the girls winning, or even Jacoby if he can improve technically.

I loved Kellie & Derek's QS.

Ally did a good FT. She makes Mark more likeable somehow. I'd be happy to see her in the final.

I know Jacoby's technique is poor but I like him & his partnership with Karina. They make me smile.

Zendaya is very good but IMO she hasn't had her zing moment yet.

Ingo, Sean & Andy are awful.

I'm sorry to see Victor go. I think Lindsay did her best but i'd be interested to know how Karina would have dealt with him. I suspect she'd have given him a rocket up the bum & channelled his competitive side a bit more.

I miss Tristan

I liked Victor but over time he became less enthusiastic to the competition and therefore he was less interesting to watch. Right time for him to go.

Sean, Andy and Ingo should all be the next to go, in any order (let Andy go ASAP though)

Week 7 Dances

Andy and Sharna - Rumba (inspired by 'Singin' in the Rain')
Zendaya and Val - Paso
Sean and Peta - Rumba
Ingo and Kym - something with 'major hip action'
Aly and Mark - Salsa
Kellie and Derek - Samba
Jacoby and Karina - ?

I can't see any mention of hip hop apart from in here . Are we sure? (Haven't looked very far, mind )

Thought you might agree with me on this but Val is actually taller than Derek but only slightly & just to make sure i checked Disney video of Derek/Zendaya dancing to see if looked awkward or big difference & dont see there being an issue http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mt2R4JS537M
Def sour grapes.

Yes dance was much better than i expected from pic of what girls wearing, def reminded me of Derek dance from last series.

I feel Victor gave up trying when he figured out dancing ballroom & latin wasnt as easy as he expected & that as he was never going to win what was the point in really trying he just had fun with the people.

Think Sean should go next he's just got no musicality & bores me plus when they start to resort to taking off clothes to get votes with body like his its time to go, you need abs/definition to carry off the topless look.

Oh dear i fear for these rumba's.

Not sure where hip hop idea came from as its definitely latin week theme net week.

Errr...pardon? Oh, yes, of course, nothing says hot latin rhythms like 'Singin in the Rain' I cannot wait...

Ha ha ha Bea, hope Andy, stays away from moustaches and uniforms

Just catching up with the week 6 dances...late as usual

From the comments I thought Val had bawled Zen out but he only just raised his voice? I didn't think that was worth all the fuss it seems to have attracted.

Though Aly did a lovely job of the foxtrot. There's something funny about her posture even when she's not dancing - maybe all the years of gymnastics? She seems to bend backwards. Her and Mark make a nice couple on the dancefloor, they seem well matched somehow. He needs to worry less about his outfit (hat and spats again Mark :yawn and talk nicely to the costume dept about Aly's dresses - this was another unflattering one.

I preferred the team Samba. It was fun and they all finished exactly together at the end, by some miracle!

And finally...I watched Victor's rumba through my fingers, cringing. Poor bloke - he was embarrassed to start with, then he forgot his steps, I bet he wished the dancefloor would open up and swallow him

I would like to ask this of any of you dance-teacher types out there - why don't the pros teach the celebrities 'Cuban motion' before they start on Latin dances i.e. bend one leg, keep the other straight, and alternate? Once you have felt the effect that bending and straightening has on your hips you understand what they mean by 'hip action' - it's not wiggling or thrusting but is a natural consequence of bending and straightening your legs. Am I talking rubbish?

BIB I agree. People blowed it out of proportion maybe because some people just like drama .
I didnt think any of it and Z certainly didnt even seem fazed by it .
And to hear her say that Val is nothing compared to her dad (in terms of being tough ), Im just like wow better not piss her dad off lol.
And as for your last paragraph, I would just say that given the fact that most of these celebrities attempt something like ballroom/latin dancing that they have never done in their lives before (well most of them ) , I think the pros just try to focus on teaching them the routines aka what would get them through another week and get them a good score as to really teaching them the fundenmentals of the dance.
Imho out of all the pros at dwts , Mark is the one who excel in this the most. Because he always make sure to teach each one of his celebrities the proper technique ...yep even Bristol . From what Ive seen, I feel like after the show most of his celebs partners can actually still remember some techniques of a particular dance. This is where Derek falls short with me because imo he just focus on teaching his celebs the choreography/the routine . I gave the example of the Golden Boys because Im really familiar with their work as a longtime dwts viewer

And on the subject of Lindsey, I really hope she is not back next season and I will be very surprised if she is. She is just meh, blah, just there :yawn::yawn::yawn:...
Sure victor was a bad dancer but I still think that he would have fared well with another pro (be average at least ) .
And from what Ive been reading elswehere about her so far , I think its safe to say that she will be a one-time pro.
Once again, I dont have anything against her; she seems like a sweet girl and a great dancer but she is just not good enough for this show imo.

Ha! I love these . Thanks.

Lot of boobage on display there . Laydeez need to put it away . (I'm especially looking at you, Kym! *slightly startled smiley*)


I like the Pickler-D.Rack repartee
Aly makes Mark nicer, I think.
I have a bit of a girl-crush on Sharna . She's so cool
Poor Victor - On Stevie W. : 'He's a legend...I ruined a dance to his song..'
Peta to Sean: 'Make sure you have some clothes to wear to Jimmy Kimmel'

BIB - yes only Zendaya managed to stay demure in those paso costumes.

Agree about Sharna think she's been the best addition to the show this year, she's got real personality & has done an amazing job with Andy, really hope shes back nxt time.

Val said that he told the costume department to add an extra patch of fabric for her costume.
And I agree about Sharna

DM pics from the half-way party
Kellie looks great in that dress.
