Gurning into the camera
It's probably just me, but I'm hating the posing and gurning into the camera during every dance. I could sort of understand it if it only happened during the pro dances, because they're supposed to entertain the audience, but when I see a couple dance I really want them to look like they're dancing with each other. It ruins it for me when they look like they're fighting to get their face on camera.
If a celeb's having trouble with a dance, they should concentrate on the steps/performance instead of how much face time they're getting. Rant over - what does everyone else think? Am I just an old grouch?* *I've been called worse, so don't worry. |

Is it like pretending to have an orgasm so you can switch back to Emmerdale

SCD-Observer: I see what you mean, now - sorry - and I think you're right on both counts. I do like Natalie, though, in the main.
Isledance: aye, you're probably right too. I do wish they'd canvas their audience (ie ME ) before they implement this sort of thing. If I'm being charitable, the pros tend to do it more than the celebs, but in my mind I picture lots of foot-twiddling steps going on, and crabbing to the side when the camera's pointing at them so they can get the maximum exposure. ![]() I was watching some clips from previous series that were linked on here yesterday, and I noticed that in the older clips the couples focused on each other, grinning at each other in a jive, and so on. It was so much better and more immersive for me. |

Yes they are. I know from reading DWTS blogs that the dress rehearsal includes camera positionings, which means those cameramen running around sticking cameras in the dancers' faces are actually scripted placements. The celebs/pros have to dance to where the camera's going to be so they can get the shot - or maybe the other way around, I forget. It seems this is happening more and more on SCD too.
