Morning Swoonies, still here Thanks for all the Artem goodies, its a shame about Kara/Artem split but thats life, hopefully it is amicable.

Baka is looking forward to the show, we have recently moved again, this time to Cumbria, hubby felt unhappy in a divided Scotland as it brought back memories of unrest from his younger days. The new house is much bigger than before though unfortunately no Granny-flat, so I'm having to share a Kitchen at the moment, hopefully we will install her own soon.

Is there any way to watch DWTS as I can't wait to see Artem in his new surroundings. Also looking forward to Strictly this year as work is much more manageable at the moment

Waves to nina, Baka raring to go, Scott is really lovely so I hope he manages a few weeks. Aliona being rude, it's like the good old days, hopefully Artem can be just as Rubbish in the US as here

Look familiar?

On and off stage drama! Daniel Radcliffe is oblivious as he exits the theatre moments after ... http://dailym.ai/16wuddA


Always believed they had split since end of last years SCD but Kara not going to states at all this summer and then Artem signing to DWTS confirmed it for me. Not surprised Kara is dating again, she is a good looking girl and a lovely person to boot so it was bound to happen . It's sad but such is life. I hope they are both happy on whatever they do and will support them both always.

Speaking of support, am very excited to see Artem and Lea dance on dwts
should be good!!!


To be sure, to be sure and probably someone else too, not sure who yet though

Strike a light Tipi! You're the Chloe O'Brian of DS!!!! (do you have some bonkers Jack Bauer-esque facial recognition software??? ).

The stage door for the Wyndhams opens up into the same alleyway as the theatre Daniel Radcliffe was playing at when Kara was in Relatively Speaking. Crikey.

(......and there's Cafe Koha in the background of one of the photos )

My goodness Tipi. Did you use all the resources of MI5 to look for the guy.
Wanted: bearded man, tattoo on calf, often wears shorts and shoes with no socks.

Well, I'll go to the foot of our stairs, as we say oop north! Tipi, you're a genius!

Agent Tipi strikes again..well done!

BTW, anyone notice Cafe Koha in background

I think he's called Sam.

I think you're right

And a hilarious morning it is! I have been on and off this place, always surprised that lovely peeps kept it going, always very thankful indeed, but what I've woken up to this morning is beyond belief! Tipi you're a scary person, you know And we all love ya to bits. What you did there brought a very broad smile to my face
So, ready for the next season! I'm wondering what the next season will bring
'See ' you all once it gets started for real.
Have a lovely day everyone!

Some kind person has posted a link to Artems first dance on the main forum (don't feed the trolls in the other posts )

It was Lens kind of routine, plenty in hold...plenty apart....oh the irony!

http://youtu.be/BgKlpbEhIeY

If you go to Facebook on Artem Chigvintsev Fans page all Artems dances on DWTS will be on there.

Thanks for posting the link. Really great first dance. Big smiles all around. I hope they stay in for many weeks.

Yay Tipster! Not unexpected. My gut feeling is that they've parted amicably. I hope so anyway. That's an awful lot of beard! My OH has one but not of triffid proportions!


Morning Meg, I hope you'll give us snippets of Baka's thoughts on the show. She's priceless! Re Artem on DWTS, I expect we'll get YT links in here. (Edit: I see that has happened already below)


BIB This! How the chuffing heck did you find that out Tipster???


BV!!! Sending hugs across the Channel! xx


Thanks Tipi, will check it out later.

Slightly longer version of Lea and Artem here (with the pre-VT/training and a glimpse of Kara and Artem lifting the glitterball ).

Thought they looked really, really good and Carrie Ann is right - they make a good team. Great comments from all the judges. Yay!





Watching the show.....
I haven't experimented with the proxy-whatsits yet, so can't advise, but in the meantime the YT channel for the above clip has always been a reliable source and worth book-marking. They upload in good quality, quite quickly and you can usually stitch the whole show together from their clips if you know the running order (I look at wiki). If I have time later (and my computer stops playing up), I'll post links.

Although I post on Artem's thread, I do read this one too.

Just want to say many thanks, Tipi, for your links. appreciated.

I've copied this over from my post on the DwtS thread for anyone who want s to see the whole thing. (I've not watched yet apart from Artem's bit, so just assuming it's all here


Better (extended) version of the opening - starts at 1.50

If anyone wants to watch the clips on abc.go.com, the easiest way is to download the Hola extension for Google Chrome. You simply click the flame icon, enter the site url in the extension (here's a screencap if you're unsure) and it'll trick the site into thinking you're from the US. You can't watch live episodes, as you need to sign in with your ISP information for that, but you can watch everything else.

thanks Suzie, thats good to know..just confirmed what my manager at work told me to do today who is married to an American and watches US Tv this way

If anyone is interested... I have done screencaps from last nights show, and they are

DwtS results show spoiler...

Deleted as messed up Soupy's spoiler

Back in France after 10 days in England with family, lovely walking and swimming on Gower as well as usual allotment duties with my mother.
Got home to a year's supply of overgrown gherkins and courgettes. OH said he couldn't see any. His punishment is stuffed marrow for a month

Lots of Artem action in this segment of the results show. Blimey! (The sound is very tinny - might just be my laptop)

(So much screaming and yelping from the audience. Aargh!)
