Enjoyed ITT tonight. Always love those dresses/hair/make up features and a great interview with Anita & Gleb. Their training looks pretty good IMO so fingers crossed its a good Saturday for them.

Nah, don't think there are haters in here. Just some "screaming till blue in the facers".

I think you're taking her tongue in cheek remark quite literally. Sometimes people can't do right for doing wrong. Regardless of what she says some people just love to pick holes in it.

Nope, she's far too clever.

Sorry, I don't know what you mean by that.... Too clever at what?

That makes sense of the little bits we know (ramming a few facts into a tiny hole called the truth
). She could well have been too unwell to make the training slot for the AT choreographers. That'll do until we know more.

And hot pokers in some books I've read!
I have to laugh at you being called a hater!

The problem is in your head. This is the case when ignorance of cultural features creates wrong associationces.
(The bears are nothing to do with it)

Yeah you're right, the Rumba and AT gave most people including the judges the ' shivers ' for the wrong reasons. The first dance she ever did was surprisingly her best.

Wasn't it Anita that said it? Is she more Russian than us or something?

Was counting the minutes until someone made that inevitable, predictable joke. *hands you a prize*

She's improved then.

An animal should be taken away from its natural habitat, its family group, its sanity and its life's purpose so that it can perform in a circus??
That is not a matter of cultural relativism. It's an abuse
Bringing the production, wardrobe, makeup, band, people on is almost always a good idea.
The choreography interview could possibly be interesting enough to keep.
The 'can you remember what you did' quiz - I can do without.
Anita and Gleb was a bit of a promo, but the Salsa training looks interesting and they do seem to work hard.

Good to see Anita and Gleb having a laugh and enjoying it all. He was funny on DWTS and has been so reserved on Strictly so far.
I think Kellie's dress is ghastly--a pink powder puff that could once again make her look like mutton dressed as lamb.

She has the right to defend herself, when people keep going on about Anita and Katie are the worst dancers left. If people are going to compare you to people with previous dance experience, it's only fair that you defend yourself.

Did she say that?
I really hate when people use that expression, its one of my pet hates. Obviously they're trying to expand on the 'never danced before' line with some new material.

Yes, she said it. But only here on the forum many people had a wrong Association with this expression. (Oh poor Anita!...), Though actually this means that everyone can learn to dance.

She would have understood OUR interpretation, it was not meant too seriously though.
As for learning how to dance, she doesn't seem to think it matters from tonight's interview, she's just LOOOVED, and can't be arsed to sort her feet out and it doesn't MATTER, it's about the pappularitee and everyone LARVES her.
Well, it's true I suppose, but I didn't like it.

So it will be OK for Kellie to defend herself using her lack of training time due to Eastenders filming commitments, Jay can use his lack of acting experience to justify why he struggles with facial expression, and Georgia can get some sympathy out of being ill.
Anita has done fantastically well to get this far and should be proud of herself, but please stop with the excuses! She signed up for the show knowing it wouldn't be an even playing field!
Zoe needs to reign the Gleb stuff in now, she doesn't seem to realise when something has run it's course.

Shows what a gimlet eyed, ruthless sort of WINNER she wants to be, in my opinion.
She lost me tonight. Her dancing has annoyed me for a while, she really did tonight.

She didn't say she was loved, she said that she massively appreciated the support she was receiving? It's a nice thing to do to thank the people who voted you through IMO.
