Yup, always some kinds of 'shock exit'. But dance off makes this worse!

I suspect Tony will go first like Johnny Ball. Hopefully then Vanessa will go, Brendan will get injured and Sophie Ellis Bextor will be reassigned to James and will go on to win!

I wonder what he would use if he made it to prop week ...

I will not allow Lisa Riley to appropriate the word fun!

I think the Dave/Karen combination is interesting given what she did with Nicky last year This could be a pairing to watch

Have to agree. I remember him from his hey day when he was a very fanciable young, slim handsome devil, and no reason why he shouldn't be an older, slim, handsome devil on the dance floor, but he has not worn well. Shallow, I know, but he doesn't move well on the floor. I think he will be in the same vein as David Dickinson & Quentin Willson.
I agree about the unpopularity of Vanessa, but I think she will put her all into it, and we viewers like a trier.

The word "fun" only summons Lisa Riley if you say it three times like Beetlejuice.

I don't think Vanessa will last long. But I hope she doesn't go first. I can see her going 4th or 5th

i agree, i'm sorry to say i didn't think there was anything appealing about him at all,

And i am ashamed to say i cant for the life of me remember who Natalie is???.. it seems like so long ago we saw the first show and all i can remember is that they seem to have gone over the top with older people!...

The couple of youngsters on the show must be as happy as larry!..

This is Natalie.

[quote=SCD-Observer;68736346]This is Natalie.[/QUOTE/

Thanks but could you just giver me her surname?.. I have a new windows 8 laptop here and it is not letting me go into the site to see pic of her!...

My thoughts on first eliminated:

Highly Likely: Tony, Deborah, Mark

Likely: Dave (I think he could be popular with voters), Abbey (depending what scores she gets), Vanessa, Julien.

Possible: Sophie (middle of the board danger), Patrick (depending where he lands on the board, if he is lower middle then he is in danger, but he looks very good, so probably will be safe because of high scoring), Fiona (middle of the board danger?)

Unlikely: Ben, Natalie (on account on her being high up on the leader board), Ashley, Susanna, Rachel (on account of Pasha fans and like ability)

Tony in the dance off should mean Tony out. If Len doesn't save his golfing partner.......

Natalie Gumede. A soap actress, Corrie I believe.

I think this is more likely.

BIB Only up to a point! A trier usually means someone who is competitive and woe betide anyone on Strictly who seems to be competitive!!

Every time someone mentions Natalie I think they are talking about the fabulous Natalie Lowe who (along with her fierce scarves) will be sadly missed this year.

Gumede

True.

Yes ; I am actually pleasantly surprised to see how well they work together. They are one of my favorite couples this season . I really hope that they go far

I think you are right edy, they could be a pair to watch, I hope its not at Vanessa's expense though.

Fair enough.

But it's still not beloning to Lisa if it's all in small caps with commas, like "fun, fun, fun".

Missing the commas, however, we gently venture into the Lisa territory, but in small caps it's used rather dispassionately to describe her, like this: fun fun fun.

But for emphasis (perhaps with a little annoyance), you could type it with title caps, such as Fun Fun Fun (no commas still).

For those who are exasperated, they would probably express it fully by writing everything in big caps, as such: FUN FUN FUN.

But for those who becomes really incensed, about to explode and implode at the same time after suffering her again on ITT, you probably want to rant with the help of the exclamation marks: FUN! FUN! FUN!

Or for those with a cold, FUD! FUD! FUD!

That sounds rrrrrrrrude!
