There sounds a good story behind that statement.

Go on, I'll follow you, clutching a riot shield.
I nearly did put him in the undermarked thread.

If it gets scary I've got these whistles to call for help

Regardless of the actual scores. The leaderboard was about right (for me) give or take the odd tie-breaker. But that's not a story

Can I just unappreciate that the BBC advert about a fecking sprout got to me more than the John Lewis advert this year. What a numpty I am
Acksherly, it got to me too. Great animation. Little green thingy.

I think she and Gled chucked themselves under. That non-AT was truly, deeply, unrelentingly bad, awkward, ugly and ill-conceived.

Everything that is wrong with Anita's dancing was highlighted and underscored by that mess of a fake AT. Her legs and her feet were exposed in the most awful way. Gleb is a disgrace. He really does not give a damn.

I swear his constant repetition of 'she has never danced before' is his way of saying, 'what do you expect - just look at what I have to dance with' because he didn't get an ice skater or a Georgia, the stage school kid.

Knee slides, ugly lifts, Gleb dressed as a rent boy/stripper channeling his own fantasy Calendar Numero Deux, led by his overflated ego with Anita stumbling behind like a drunken spider.

I'm glad Craig said what needed to be said. Darcey did too, but covered it in sprinkles.

I poured a very large Talisker and moaned into a cushion. Shemar did not need to make out with my ankles. I was supine with horror darlings!
THIS. Anita is giving me really smug vibes as well, like she should be praised all the time because, although she's not one to go on about, she'd never actually danced before this show started.

Was that the bit were he had his leg sticking out straight behind him (technical term )
Er, he was reaching for her to one side (his left). I noticed the little wobble in training and recognised the section of choreography then tonight.

How many favourite films can one girl have?
Just the one! Chicago's her favourite "song" isn't it? So Chicago was her favourite "song" and Beauty and the Beast her favourite film.

Gleb sliding along the floor on his belly had me in hysterics
The button pop started me off and the belly slide with stare down the camera finished me off. I'd love to know what that dance looked like in Gleb's head. On my screen it was ugly, unpolished and the staging was trying way, way too hard. I suspect in Gleb's head it was a spectacle worthy of a Broadway show (via a strip club in Las Vegas).

That was the most Kevin and Kellie of dances K&K have done. Loud, brash, messy, kitchen sink thrown at it, but I kinda liked it.
*creeps in & whispers* I really enjoyed watching Kellie obviously enjoying herself! And I enjoyed her dance!

*leaves crate of wine & runs away*
Me too. It wasn't an amazing Viennese Waltz, particularly, and I can't see myself wanting to watch it over and over but Kellie looked like she was enjoying it and it was a fun spectacle.

I was moved to tears. Wow oh wow
My friend has switched off in disgust because she says the show is fixed for Jay and he is dance trained. Hello love so are most of them. This from the lady who supported Peter because he was kind to elephants.


I loved Kellie, if Jay got the dances with jive & rumba that suited his personality, then she got the theme that suited her. Although I'm not sure common tart with a heart is very kind to Kellie.

Plus why would Nancy be dancing in a pub with the Artful Dodger, he's a kid ? That's really bothering me. Kevin should be Bill Sykes or random drunk in pub or punter (that might make a different dance though 😜 Would look more like Anita's meow 😂😂😂 )
I had many questions about the staging tonight. (It's possible I know too much about musicals.)

Dodger does not belong in Oom Pah Pah. Kevin is also much too old to play him.

If Giovanni is no longer the Beast and has transformed back into the human Prince, how is there still live crockery around? The curse is meant to be on all them together, isn't it? Either you have the Beast and the live crockery or you have everyone as human. The combination of the two doesn't make any sense.

Les Miserables is not set in the French Revolution. It is set at the time of an attempted revolution in France that was unsuccessful . Hence everyone dying on the fort and Marius singing that the whole effort was in vain. The actual French Revolution resulted in... an actual revolution.

Even though I don't like the song and the costumes made it seem like we were watching a rehearsal, I thought J&A's dance was far and away the best of the night.

I felt really sorry for Anita tonight I think Gleb has let her down terribly and the judges haven't done her any favours by not pulling him up on his poor technical tuition. At the very least she should be pointing her toes at this point in the competition and her constant flexed feet say everything about Gleb as a teacher imho.

I love "Maybe this time" and will happily admit that as I was singing along with my eyes closed, from time to time, I might have missed a few moments of their dance

The rest of them just annoyed me because they were more like show dances than the dances they were supposed to be.

Glass of wine anyone, piece of almond caramel chocolate?

(Goddamn, Kieron Dyer's a nice bloke)

I get that vibe more with Katie than Anita. Have not noticed Anita giving the death glare to the judges, though Katie does that so well

Ah, I didn't really watch last year- so I didn't have the pleasure. If you could call it that?!

.
The honest answer is that Giovanni dancing with Beast makeup would have made the opening pro dance rather bizarre

Love it! A woman who tells it like it is. Only thing, I'm still in my Gleb porn stage and the way he worked a baton ...

Anywho, not sure who or what Shemar is, I'm a traveller round these regions, but that last line is worthy of post of the day.
