Nobody replied to my previous post but I found some footage of her with some other bloke! Oh well, these things happen no doubt.

This is the full clip of Lea and Artem on Monday night. I'd be interested in hearing what you think of the training VT and Artem's approach.
well Soupy deja vu is all I can say

Nobody replied because nobody knows for certain, as you point out there is the odd bit of evidence.
This thread is very adaptable and good at appreciating both of them, whatever their status.

I have been voting for Artem via Facebook and ABC.com DWTS site. I thought at first I have to have US email to vote and managed to create one US email address( was not easy) But actually I could register DWTS site with my UK emails and they allow me to vote. So far I have create 5 more UK email accounts and the DWTS voting site allows me register and vote.


This week, they got 32/40 for their Salsa and in the middle of leader board. I am worried a lot to be honest that they might be in jeopardy or in the bottom 2 or they might be going home next week if they don't get enough public votes.


So if you want to support Artem on DWTS and have email (US, UK wherever I think) please go ABC or DWTS site and register and vote. I personally go to DWTS vote site. I have only basic knowledge of technology /social media etc and I am not even English speaking person but managed to vote. It is not difficult. If you are on Facebook, it is super easy just go to Dancing with the Stars. FB and online voting open 24 hours ( by 1 am Wednesday, I believe) Still you can do it !!!

Thank you.
Thanks yuvi - I'll have another look. Probably did something wrong last time

(Your English is great btw )

ETA: Well, it seems I've had an account since 2010! Sorted and voted




Afterbuzz post show chat and another with abc7
Well that mde my message to you redundant Fridgey! Must read entire forum before posting Thank you Yuvi - beautifully explained in marvellous English too

Week 4 Quiz

12/13
(there's a sneaky not-Strictly question in there )

I thought he was especially grumpy, but I might be being influenced by some of the comment I've read elsewhere . He's been cuddly-Artem in his DwtS life thus far

Well that mde my message to you redundant Fridgey!

Are Kara and Artem still together?

On the basis that Artem has the two Pixie Bob cats in the US and Kara has been photographed with another man, it's probably safe to assume that they're not a couple anymore. I would have replied earlier but haven't been on the board for a few days, sorry.

Love, love, loved Mark and Karen's Samba. So much content that he did pretty well. I much preferred it to Pixie's I'm afraid although that was good too.

Some good dancing tonight.

Hi wrenny, agree with you about Marks' samba, and that the dancing had gone up a notch. However I do miss Artem's wonderful choreography, the walz's, foxtrot's and VW just hadn't got the magic that he can conjure ( I did like Brendan and Sunetra's dance though )
I also thought some of the music was pants, particularly Simon and Christina's.

Off thread, At my Bretagne Danse class, I got to do a Scottish dance with the teacher, he made it feel very easy. I felt like the belle of the ball.
Have been out mushroom hunting as the local wisdom is that the ceps grow with the new moon, and they may be right as my friend and I found some beauties.

I agree with you re Artem's choreography. He was in a class of his own much of the time I think.

I don't usually like to diss the band and singers, but a couple of those song were shockers tonight with the singers struggling at times.

Happy mushrooming and dancing. xx

PS: Was it a jig or what?????

No more of a backwards and forwards waltzy thing, possibly with a twirl.
That bliddy boat was being rowed backwards again.

I loved both sambas. Not often you can say that on Strickly, is it? Mark did incredibly well with his. Might be the male samba I've enjoyed the most.

Dire.

Proper caterwauling at times.

Rollocks!


Can't understand how Scott got more points for his charleston than Judy.
Really didn't enjoy Alison's tango and thought Thaaam! was over praised by the judges, but I liked pretty much everything else.


Trent's doing a good solid job with his choreography, Brendan does good ballrooms for Sunetra and Ola and Kristina are giving their men proper routines, but I miss the excitement and lyricism of Artem's choreo. (Miss him in every way ).

How do you know that the Pixiebob cats are in the USA im sure there has been no photo's of them. Also how do we know the person who was photographed with Kara was a new boyfriend he could of just been a friend. They haven't been seen together since that one photo. I was just a great fan of them in strictly so really hoped that when they got together that they would end up staying together - i even thought that they would get married. So i would be disappointed if they have split up - if they have i hope they come back together in the end because you could see their chemistry on TV and from interviews after strictly it seemed that they really loved each other.

Sunetra and Brenda are my favourites; gorgeous routine and her eye makeup is always fab.

Good to know I am not alone in missing Artem and his choreography. SCD has lost some of it's magic for me.

'mushrooming and dancing'

Clarty 'belle of the ball', I love Scottish dancing so very jealous. Keep dancinggggggg

I'm trying not to look at the spoiler today...well, just yet...surely it has to be Scott!

The tango was definitely NOT Alison's dance but boy Aljaz is just AMAZING- in every way

I need to take something back...this morning I said Mark's dance was 'very watchable' tonight I could barely watch him...those tears so OTT cringe.

Poor Thom, he really didn't deserve to go but that is the curse of being middle of the table and being (or at least coming across as) nice but dull.

The opening number reminded me of the barn storming dance routine in Seven Brides For Seven Brothers (but not as good), Boy George has lost his voice and Kevin from Grimsby really over dances.

I've been dying with the cold so spent the day catching up with Strictly, watching War and Peace and cringing at the Results Show, not the best of days

Len was wrong for choosing to save Simon over Thom, Thom was much better dancer than Simon - he should of gone instead.

I think I would have save Simon, though they were evenly balanced.

anam - sorry you're not well .

Agree about Mark's tears being hard to watch. I didn't know whether I thought it was sweet that he cared so much, or if he just needs to 'buck up' .

Also found Kevin's dancing in the group number OTT. And his faces.

On the bright side, I did enjoy the lassoo-ist falling over

I so agree with all your comments about Arty and his artiness. I miss him very much.

The show is a bit meh for me and mainly because of the musical choices and the vile VTs.

Loved Pixie and Mark. Loved Jake and Caroline on mute. The rest are okay. Scott, Judy and Alison pretty poor.

Getting tired of Kevin being the Beeb's poster-boy.

You are very wise. Agree with all you write.
Trent and Pixie's dances are the only ones I remember.

Come back Artem, pretty please. If only to knock the Grimsby lad off the front row of pro dances!

Anam, hope you are better!

*waves to Nooney agree particularly with the BIBs. I'd add Sunetra to my list of favs, but I don't have a stand out favourite atm.

Anam, hope you're feeling better.

Wrenster, I forgot about Sunetra. Love her, but there are so many dancers that I'm still FFing through the show and so it's not helping my memory.

Lateone, I'm a-thinking we're all pretty wise here. Thanks though.
