Yeah, I liked the bed head tweet too--he's adorable when he makes faces like that, and the casual, white t-shirt look is very sexy.
Perhaps he trolled this way my recent tweet about his hairstyles with examples in pictures. There was also a remark that hair should not fall on the face in the ideal case . LOL
I appreciated his sense of humor

Thanks for that information.What I really should have asked is......Vilani.....does not seem Russian to me.The Kazakh woman on your link is beautiful . I do know that the soviet republics as well as Russia itself traditionally had mixed populations.

Yes, they are different. DWTS-Russia is a TV show and Dances and the stars is just a show.
Are they doing the Russian DWTS this year. When is it supposed to be ? She was a judge and he the pro last year....?

I think he and Anita might've squeaked into the final if he'd played his cards a little differently in the semi-final.
The judges regretted their decision .I did post the link here (Daily Mail Jan 2016)
In the event over 30 shows they came a very close second and first , 6 times beating the other finalists.So yes....they could have won it in Dec as the entire country could vote.


Interesting set of pics of behind the scenes.....look at pic 7. Supposedly on ITT.

She is the spitting image of him, so cute as well.

You're right, it sounds rather Italian but I can't find any information about it.

Yes, it's true, but ethnic Russian people make up more then 80% of the total population.
Are they doing the Russian DWTS this year?
No, Gleb and his wife are not doing it this year.
She was a judge and he the pro last year....?
Yes.
When is it supposed to be ?
The first show already took place this weekend, it will be broadcasted on March 7-8th on Russia1 channel.

I think the judges express also the regrets of producers.

Who knows? One thing I realized - the winner is known beforehand on all these shows. Some people made good money on bets last year too.

I think Elena is going to join Strictly this year, that's probably why she isn't doing the Russian DWTS. Emma Slater has apparently been dropped by DWTS and I will be very surprised if she's not one of the other new pros, she was supposed to join Strictly in 2013 but decided to stay with DWTS instead.

I'd be great if Emma joined Strictly. Can't imagine why they'd relegate her to troupe again, she seems very popular with the public. Who knows what goes on behind the scenes, though.

Just wanted to say that it was interesting to read that (the part in bold) .... I recall Gleb non-appreciators using the fact that he re-tweets flattering tweets as a criticism ("he's so vain") and I hadn't thought about how nice it must be for the fans to have him re-tweet them.
Looked over Aliona's,Jay and G/G tweeters and they post the same type of tweet....he gets the vanity blame...they don't .

I do see what you mean, I also appreciate the retweets (especially when so many people were filming during the tour). I don't mind his calendar flogging (after seeing your whole video on youtube I see he really was selling it hard). It's tough to make a living as a professional dancer and if he can make some money that way, more power to him.


Surprised people buy calendars nowadays. He should endorse products like the Beckhams and Rooneys do.Noticed two clothing firms are saying they spotted he is wearing their items . So they are using his name without any benefit to him.

I hate to think what Bruno would make of number 9.

Just bumping this before it disappears down a black hole!

See Gleb has retweeted another tweet hinting he'll be back on Strictly next year. Anyone know when the pros are usually confirmed? I know the celebs aren't until a couple of weeks before the launch show but the pros tend to be a bit earlier. Seems like there'll be a big shake up this year with Tristan now going too.

I think the announcement came last year in late April.

Gleb will be back in the UK for a performance this week, won't he?

I'm glad the thread has been rescued

I'm 99% positive Gleb will return. I never took to Tristan and disliked his dancing last year and I mean his dancing, not Jamelia's!

Yes- the signs certainly look pretty encouraging! Then it'll be the anxious wait till September to see who he's paired with...

I never took to Tristan either, in fact last year I had Jamelia down as a contender. She had a lot of potential IMO, but he let her down with poor teaching and choreography.

I agree. I liked her critique of herself though and her awareness of her weaknesses in the discipline of ballroom dancing. She, like PA, had natural rhythm that had been used in pop dancing but they lacked technique. I don't think Tristan was able enough as a teacher or dancer for her. They seemed to gel as a team so in some respects he was a good partner for her.

Yes, here's the link again http://www.essexairambulance.uk.com/...-air-ambulance It's tomorrow (Friday).

Based on his twitter, he seems to be flying again ....

I wonder what it is about Tristan. He's seems to be a nice guy, but I also remember at some point being disappointed by him. During his time on DWTS I realized that he's rather mediocre dance and creativity-wise and it wasn't just because he always had duffers.

Just saw that Jason Gilkison tweeted this to Gleb:

Very encouraging for Gleb's Strictly future!

Seems that he will not be here this time.Visa issues .

http://www.essexairambulance.uk.com/...ambulance-2016


Regarding Tristan McM. He is indicating that he was paired up with duffers.That can be a huge problem and one of the reasons why Gleb was lucky to be paired with Anita.Anita gave it everything and was very trusting of Gleb,ensuring his future success on SCD. Think Gleb had Tristan's problem on DWTS .
