It's Karen for me, I think she is an awful dancers, she makes dreadful ugly shapes and I can see her in every group dance, I thinks she has picked up bad habits from the Grimsby clan.

Lol
It is actually now making me quite cross I just wasted an hour and a half watching that!

Had to post this here in case you missed it. It was posted on main thread by Ochio Throw!

Kevin is genuinely worrying.

Quite aside from the fact that he's from the same genetic stock as the domineering, fearless, robo-spined babymonster that is Joanna, he's worrying.

This is a fake dance show for prime time family entertainment. There's a ballroom dance element to it, but primarily it's celebrity pantomime. The judges just give the ol' "YER CAME OUT HERE // Work on your core strength THANK YOOOU // Fleckerels and handography DAWWLIN' // I am a flamboyant foreign homosexua"l palaver, and it's nowt to do with real dance, really. Boo the mean judge, cheer the eyeliner lady, vote for the one you recognise off that thing or that nice man Mr. Du Beke and his plastic veneer. The celebrities are learning this bollocks in between takes anyway.

Bam. Kevin from Mother****ing Grimsby.

He's taking this serious, folks. Not just the paso doble. Not just the competitive element you need to become a dancer, that means you'll take a challenge anywhere and make the XMas dinner game of Mouse Trap a scarily intense affair. He's not just taking it seriously because he's a solid Northern chap who takes pride in his work.

Kevin from Mother****ing Grimsby is a Mother****ing True Believer.

Look at him, when he snaps himself around like he's at the centre of a car crash we cannot see. Look at him, as he turns from Frank Spencer to some kind of gnashing jawed, wild eyed maniac. He does the paso doble, and he makes a flamethrower-laden fantasmagoria of sexual tension and barely concealed fury. His nice foxtrot, he suddenly bursts out into a brief but striking rattle of sheer ecstasy, and bugger anyone who watches him. A bloody song about a witch from a children's movie, and he trembles with inner fire as he explodes in a frenzy of G Forces and ligament snapping enthusiasm. At the end, as the green-painted lady from the fake girl group grabbed a broom and stood on a lift for the finale of a fake TV show to entertain the lowest common denominator, Kevin from Grimsby trembled like he'd just been granted an audience with Jehovah. And, God help me, sneering, depressive cynic that I am, for a brief moment I felt a flicker of emotion. I moistened, slightly. I've been to funerals and not cared. I've witnessed death and been unaffected. I spend my days dissecting and analysing. I've attempted murder and felt only mild concern that I might get caught. And Kevin Clifton had me emotionally invested in something totally fake and ridiculous.

Can you imagine what happens if he decides he believes in something that matters? What do we do, if he decides that what REALLY matters is politics? Or world domination? Or religion?

What do we do?

Today, 20:28

Yes, she is the Mrs-from-Grimsby-to-be.

Oh respect, Ochio Throw, we are not worthy

Both Karen & Kevin stick out in a bad way during the pro dances. At least if you covered JFG's face to hide the gurning, she is at least a good dancer. Shame that her teaching & choreo don't match her dancing ability

My problem with TTF is that he dances entirely without sincerity and has to upstage everyone else, even his own partner.

Put the two of them together like the dance last week and all I see is hysterical , manic movement

Yes they do. Come on, we were told this about 4 times tonight with the aid of a craniotomy and a sledgehammer

I hadn't really noticed how bad Janette was until tonight, but the weird faces and thigh rubbing in a paso were just odd.

He does, as Ochio says, beleive in his own hype, rather than he is a not so good dancer.

Being from Grimsby does not give you a personality there is much more to having a life and soul than that, and if Kristina gets desperate I don't know what the word is for what Kevin is, other than scary.

I've decided Mark is the judges' pet, he is very calculating and 'scripted', he is my least favourite celeb this year and I would prefer Scott to stay over him.

Weirdly I don't mind Janette so much, I can see she is bad, but she is also fearless, and is actually trying to improve, I think.

She was plain odd tonight. Her lack of 10 dance knowledge/experience really showed, both in her dancing and choreography. I didn't even watch Jake, I was strangely entranced by her but not in a good way

Ok, odds are this has nothing to do with your username but it amuses me that you knew that!


That would be amazing!



I take it Donny's never coming back, judging by all the shade that's been thrown at him the past couple of weeks! And yeah, that routine had "Bruno's giving it a 10!" written all over it.

Peering through the haze of overwhelming theming, it looked as though she danced the tango bit well? The beginning and end made both of them look like overwrought mimes on karoake night. Also whoever thought compressing Defying Gravity into 90 seconds was a good idea was an idiot, quite apart from the fact it doesn't fit a tango at all. Let her dance a tango with proper music and it might turn out I actually loved it.

I think costume, hair and make up were a bit overstretched this week. Ola's hair looked more like a dog treat than a bone - did they get their dances muddled up? And Darcy's dress... It was as though they'd accidentally sliced the skirt in half and Darcy had got the bottom bit caught around her ankles.

Me too I think Mark's Uriah Heep impersonation tonight was nauseating.

He is a veteran of scripted reality and other RTV. He knows how to come over well - or how to come over as he thinks people want - that's his job.

Which is good - but she's being paid to improve and teach a celeb not learn herself and not sure she has the all round skills to do Jake justice.

I find him so fake and annoying. Unfortunataly a lot of people will fall for his act.

Yes if he gets to the final it will be despite her, I think it is the fact she is not from Grimsby, that makes her less of an irritant than the Grimsby clan

My username is after my cat, who is named Perdita because she too was lost. I've never seen the Disney version, but loved the book and could still probably quote most of it by heart.

I thought her tango looked like (other than makeup and wardrobe) it had been danced to something else, and then Defying Gravity was played over it. Distinctly odd.

Ola's hair like a dog treat - perfect!

I have to say I was very strong tonight and resisted the urge to vote for Aljaz's trousers.

Reality TV sincerity.

Did you just vote for his arse instead?

Hate to say it but I agree with you. Wish he would go. He has now been on every reality show except Big Brother. He was given a chance to become a 'star' but squandered it on the worst series ever (I saw 2 minutes and gave up). I watched one episode of TOWIE and thought what a pratt he is and he still is. He can produce tears at a moment's notice - he had them when the judges criticized him.

As for Karen - wish they'd get rid of her, but she and Kevin are a package! Kevin can produce some very interesting choreography - not a fan of his eithers.
