Completely unappreciating that if it wasn't for the bloody Waltzathon all the celeb finalists could get to the final having done all 14 styles of dance. As a viewer that would be far more satisfying.

Has everyone done the waltz?
I think Pixie did it in Disney week,
Caroline did it in her nightie with macrame
Jake did a dark and moody one
Frankie did it first week
Mark?
Simon has just done it

I think Mark has done it. Wasn't Karen in pink floaty dress thing?

Once again reading your tweets I want to say thankyou thankyou thankyou for all your amazing words. It feels so humbling to have you all x
It's Uriah Heep, Shamela Stephenson and Lina Lamont all combined. He truly is a class act in utter shamelessness. In many ways it's quite impressive.”

All very 'umble. He actually grew on me for a bit but now I'm desperately trying to peel him off.
As a lonnnnnnnnnng time lurker on here I really miss Alli F - where the heck is she!?
I just meant we could have two dances from each celeb, as happened in the past quarter finals, ie the controversial Austin and Lisa year.

It was to Weekend In New England. They threw a load of dead leaves over him at the end.

Shame they didn't include a large heavy branch for greater verisimilitude.
I'm sure Mark did the waltz. I have a vague memory of him claiming it was the dance he was most scared of, and we all promptly scoffed at him for being scared of the waltz of all things. John Sergeant managed the waltz.
On another note, I'm finding Pixie far more entertaining if I see her as a kind of anti-Denise Van Outen.
Have you danced before?
DVO: Me, dance? No, never, honest guv! Sat on a chair in Chicago, didn't I? Never done any dancing me, James will tell you. (James: Yeah she's terrible, can barely walk let alone dance! Ringer? We'd be so lucky!)
Pixie: Oh, well, I haven't done this before exactly but let me show you what I have done... I mean, developpés and rond de jambes were kind of my thing, you know? But also here's my old jazz routine from when I thought about doing musical theatre. And here's the end of my old ballet recital piece. Is there anything else you wanted to see? Trent can probably choreograph it for me, if you like.
What do you think about next week?
DVO and James: Banter, banter, banter, MORE BANTER
Pixie and Trent: Oh, it's amazing! So exciting to still be here! 3 is the magic number.
*sound of wind whistling through the trees* (I don't mean to imply that either of them is stupid, but Pixie's so media trained I think she'd actually go into shock if she accidentally said something of substance in front of a camera.)
I do wish someone just would tell her if she got the job at Euro Disney though. I swear she's auditioned for it about 3 times now and I'm getting a little tired of Disney Princess Mode Pixie. It's very pretty but I had a brief moment of fear that they were somehow going to be dancing their waltz to It's a Small, Small World last night, what with the costumes, the hair, the clogs, the windmill, the basket of tulips and the kitchen sink. I far preferred Futuristic Gladiator Warrior Pixie, Electric Hair Pixie, 1940s Housewife Pixie and maybe even Carmen Miranda Pixie to Disney Princess Pixie. (Auditioning For The Role of Roxie Hart Pixie was vaguely terrifying, still not sure if I liked that one or not.)

Forget all those. I want P****d off Pixie in the final, when someone else lifts that trophy.

Always know when it's his turn to dance as it's the only time he isn't vying for the best position to get his grinning mug into screen shot

Agreed. He also uses sympathy vote - poor me I have to work - what about Jake, Sunetra, Pixie, Simon and Pixie (don't know what Caroline is doing). He uses whatever he can to win - hogs the camera, talks too much and really doesn't have a good body.
I really hope he is OUT this week. Thoroughly fake (never mentions his 10 years at Sylvia Youngs), conceited git.
Anyone but Mark (rant over).

Yup! Glad others have noticed it. I have been disgusted by his behaviour for weeks.
I've read this thread for ages but never posted anything before, but can I just ask why why why couldn't Jake have been in the dance off with Mark last night - then we'd have been rid of him (Mark I mean) as there's no way the judges would have booted Jake out.....
That's all - thanks
That's all - thanks

I'm hanging on that he'll be there next week and there isn't anyone they'd loose over him - If he's not in the dance off, that scream and wail of despair you hear, that'll be me
I'd like Mark - v- Frankie, nothing against Frankie, but oh so much against TTF

The problem is, I'm wary of anyone ending up in the dance off on the speculation the judges would keep them over someone else ... because y'know the judges
Actually, I think that certainly after next week the dance off should be ditched. You could almost make a case for anyone staying and anyone going out of all the permutations - and the fixed/conspiracy theories are going to be legion
So the judges complained about Steve's footwork when he had a fused ankle and they complained about Sunetra's footwork when she's had broken toe since week 2. No wonder she chose to focus on her armography. If MDF did anything like that he'd be tweeting live updates from the hospital. It does make a lot of the judges' comments to Sunetra seem very unfair in hindsight.

Me too - the look on Kevin's face would be brilliant.
Also, can't imagine he'd be getting his 'conjugals' for a bit if he and Frankie knocked Mark and Karen out..
(Apologies to all if that conjures up a frightening and sick-making image...)

Agree - they just didn't like her. Don't know if it is because they aren't keen on Brendan.
Think it is a shame that Sunetra is gone. She had much tougher choreography and actually had more dance content than MDF who I noticed had bobbing man boobs on his way up the stairs.
Fed up with these judges. . .
I've had a horrible thought.
What if the BBC are softening us up to Mark because they're going to use him in something?
Or, worse still, he's going to take over Lisa Riley's role as "celebrity (?) superfan" and keep popping up all the time?
Unappreciating how Mark's Twitter feed keeps using the hashtag #underdogs to try and build up still more votes for himself. Underdogs my a***.

Ugh, the #underdogs thing is so annoying. He has also retweeted this -

@MarkWright_ you are the reason this show is such fun. A non theatrically trained man who's become a damn good dancer!! Well done great job
What the **** did he do in those 10 years at Sylvia Young Stage School? I hope his parents got a refund. Either way he lied about going or he's lying now.

Mark is so false. He keeps playing the underdog 'I am not a trained dancer' card which is wearing a bit thin now. Simon is much more modest and really developing as a dancer. I would love to see Simon in the final as, in my opinion, he is the best male celebrity left in the competition.

Oh perlease!!!!!!!!!!! I have been to Its A Small World at Disney World. It took me about 2 years to get that damned song out of my head. Now it's back again. Thanks for nothing!!

I agree. Simon is now the best male dancer. MDF, on the other hand, is really doing my head in with his falseness and addresses to the nation. I'm happy to see anybody win over MDF. If he should lift the glitterball I can't be held responsible for my actions.

Although with TTF waltzing around frantically and MDF pushing others out of the way in an effort to remain in camera shot the entire time, it could be rather brilliant carnage, in my head several couples will be waltzing round happily and in the corner there'll be an almighty dust up going on between MDF and TTF (in my head it will happen)
