Bless her she has slipped into Ricky Wittle territory, any day now talk of 10s will slip in. She loves an " on paper" and hasn't the personality to recognise that the " on paper" just isn't going to happen.

Oti has her crown this year and manages to dance and choreograph really beautifully whilst almost 100 % knowing they will win. I hope they do otherwise I fear it will break her, but she is going to take out Danni for sure and multiple innocent by standers.

May I unappreciate that polls seem to have replaced discussions 'out there' ?

Well, third time lucky for Louise and her breakthrough.
We've had baggy clothing sacks transformed into figure hugging leotards that came and went without a whimper.
We've has the plateau busting, personality enhancing breakthrough Charleston that barely raised a flicker.
Now it's everything thrown at the AT - up to and including Ian highlighting her sexy face of sexiness on ITT.
She will have her breakthrough this week dammit.

Yes or No

Anything less than the final and I fear we could lose Oti to Erin Island.

Nat, after the VW this week is going to start chirruping about how wonderfully Gred led her round the floor and how wonderful it is for a NDB. It's her 'this girl'

Unappreciating Aliona's pregnancy photo. There are no words.

Too right. 10s or bust. Her sexy face of sexiness looked like someone impersonating fainting in a first aid training video.

She could cahm aht and use her cardi as a playground skipping rope and still get 10s. Already unappreciating TTF's imminent hysteria in Claud 9.

Oh for an infamous public backlash against the overmarked judges' Favourite.

Unappreciating those who choose to turn a lovely life event, into a question of taste.

I can't tell you what I thought was going on when I clicked on the photo

Congrats to them but it seemed a bit tacky to me - each to their own tho'

I've never ventured into this thread before...

I'm afraid i can't take seriously, anyone wearing a sexy face.

Unfortunately, the Judges don't either have a fit of hysterics or vomit into a bucket but chuck 10's at it

I would just like to take a minute to appreciate Vicky Giggles and Zoe congratulating everyone on the bestest Halla Ween costume evvvahhh with Jo and Ore, when it couldn't have been more obvious that Ore loathed the Charleston and all it's works if he had acquired a Glamorgan accent and spent the week telling Jo I hate the Charleston, Jo. Jo, I hate the Charleston. Please don't make me stick a carpet tile on me face and a lolly down me kecks.

Compared to what they did to poor Joanne, Ore looked the very essence of effortless sophistication.

And the clip of The Many Faces of Louise on ITT website
(Tho I DO appreciate how many of her Faces are eyerolling at Kevin)

Many/all.

I did say before the series started that if Nat got a contender/someone half decent people would turn agin her. She put in some right stroppy defences of the likes of Tim Wonnacott in her time, but I guess the more obviously ludicrous what she's saying about how perfect her partner is, the most people are willing to forgive her for it.

You know how on the launch show Loiuse so wanted Kevin for her pro.

I wonder if that statement is still true

RE Nat she's always been the same, I have never regarded her as actually having much in the way of realistic expectations so I don't mind this years flights of fancy.

However if you are actually thinking she does have a bit of a contender I suspect she sound very competitive again.

It always amazes me, that some people believe that on the launch show, it's a complete surprise to both the celebrity and the dancer that they were selected to dance together.


I mean how did the BBC know how ecstatic everyone would be at their perfect choices?

"What were the chances of that happening?"

Every chance!

it's a telly programme.

I think it depends on this weekend - if Greg does have a genuine breakthrough in ballroom (and clearly that's what the show edit is angling towards) then he's got a chance. Although based on the training footage they showed...

I think it depends on how much the likelihood is that her partner could take a few of the favourites - and lets face it, history shows that a NDB sportsman with a bit of goodwill backing can cut a bit of a swathe

cough**Darren Gough and Matt Dawson**cough for instance?

I'm unappreciating the thought of Louise trying to be seductive in her AT with Kevin - I think their dance could possibly be the dullest AT in the history of Strictly ever

"More Tea, Vicar?"

Yes that was embarrassing... in fact the whole thing was embarrassing. Hideous costumes, and ruined the chances of Ore doing a decent Charleston. Who on earth came up with that concept? Some ideas really do need to stay inside peoples' heads!

Yeah exactly - this is what I'm picturing now

GavBot made the semi final and Michael Vaughan, Kenny Logan and Phil Tuffnell made week 9 (and Katya is still so not over that particular decision )

Would be hilarious if they got the the final & this was the Judges pick to improve.
