I've been saying this all series. There is definitely a divide in the forum, the dance purists and those who I think like the majority of viewers just want to be entertained. Most people watching dont care about toes and heels, the just wnat a bit of fun on a Saturday night. Strictly's appeal is that it doesn't take itself seriously. I hope that doesn't change.
BTW, G&G are very bland in an arena setting. I think he is ambitious and will go far and not just on SCD.He and his wife seem a good couple.She has not been signed up yet but you can tell they both want her to be so I hope she is. |

I was shot down for saying that on the main forum Josh, but you are correct
Anita is very businesslike in her approach and was quite vocal in the beginning that the curse would never get her, but I think when you spend that much time with someone it's hard not get very close to them. There is a clip of them both backstage after they did the salsa, and the look on her face says it all really. It's like a mixture of adoration and lovesick schoolgirl. I will see if I can find it. |

Well that's good. I know that in Russia it can be hard to be difficult, shall we say, to be successful if you are not a supporter of the establishment.
I would like to ask you to refrain from repeating Russophobic propaganda which demonizes the country and its leader on this thread. Thank you in advance. |

I wonder if he's going to do the Russian Strictly again this year.
There have been talks about his involvement in DWTS season 22. |

I don't think Maggie is being Russiaphobic by the way. I think we all know that it's not easy to oppose the establishment, well in some cases it's been fatal but I think we should keep politics off this thread I think.

Dear posters, this is meant to be an appreciation thread of Gleb. If anyone has an issue with a post then either report it and/or ignore the poster. These are the recommendations from Digital Spy. Do not spoil the thread by making inappropriate comments. It would be a pity if this thread were locked or cancelled by not complying with forum rules.
Thank you. |

Speaking of Russia, I have a cousin who worked there for a while. His job takes him all over the world, but he always said the most beautiful people in the world are Russian.
I might go there to find myself a husband

In fact, they met at a dance studio in Moscow when they were both 18 years old. And when Gleb invited her to America to be his dance partner for the show in 2004 they had only business relationships at the beginning.
His wife is much more ambitious than Gleb. Moreover, I would even call her a locomotive of his dance career. ![]() |

Actually ... as an AT it was poor. Just check some on YouTube and you can see the difference immediately. Anita's feet were poor in the AT too and it was the first time I noticed them so the dance definitely drew attention to them. BUT she sizzled as did Gleb and that baton ...
![]() Elsewhere you mention that you're concerned Strictly might get too show oriented, but I think there's no need to worry about that. Even lots of Gleb and Anita's dances were largely traditional, and some of the other pros and the ringer celebs they have each year ensure that it remains dance-focused. I think the producers do a good job of having a mix of pros and dance approaches to appeal to everyone. It's still a long way from being as shallow and light-on-dancing as Dancing with the Stars. |

I agree and yet I still liked it. Maybe it was the baton
and to be serious this strikes at the heart of thier appeal and may even be why they are storming and winning some of the tour. They just put on a good show regardless of how perfect the footwork was. Many of us don't care about perfect bloody footwork, we want to be entertained, it's about a show which is the sum of it's parts, and Gleb got that. See, I liked GG, and yeah I wouldn't mind seeing them if I could be arsed and wasn't so mean that I won't pay stupid ticket prices but my God I would pay this months rent to go if the whole show was Anita and Gleb. Especially if the performances were as camp, sexy and and spectacular as that Paso. And yeah, as I said I know Anita wasn't doing the perfect Paso feet as the purists argue or whatever, but I don't care. BiB You and me both. Theirs are the only dances I've repeatedly watched. |

I agree with that.She seems to wear the trousers but in a nice way.I seem to remember reading that he will be doing the Russian DWTS and our SCD.She has not been signed up for SCD yet but it appears that they both want her to be as she keeps posting the same link over and over on her twitter and FB where media reports indicate "Strictly bosses considering Gleb Savchenko's wife" She was here all through the series as well and was pictured backstage with various people including Anita and Gleb after EVERY one of their dances.
According to her twitter, she was back and forth between Hong Kong where her daughter goes to school and Russia but was certainly very visible during SCD. I think they are a business oriented couple that promote themselves well, probably with good advisors. Some posters elsewhere go on and on about vanity etc. but I think it's smart to reap the benefits while they can, it is a business after all. They are based in Hong Kong and suspect they don't have any other citizenship except Russian. |

Just want to add that I have been loving Gleb's partnership with Joanne Clifton during the tour. They look good together and hope we see more of them on the tv show. Many thanks from Canada for all the wonderful clips that fans have posted during the tour.

Didn't know you were from Russia, Lana. We are just going from what we hear on the news in the UK, which is very probably biased to be fair.

![]() ![]() ![]() I think Strictly is a much nicer environment for a dancer than DWTS. There is a hierarchy amongst the pros that doesnt exist on Strictly, basically everyone on DWTS plays second fiddle to Derek Hough. What's happened to Artem should be a lesson. He's been shoved in a dance troupe and not had a partner yet, whereas on Strictly he was the most popular male pro and always got a celeb, three of whom were very good. Fern was his only duffer. |

BiB: What makes you say so? This had been my thought (with nothing but my imagination to back it up) when people were wondering about her reaction to the all the lusting after him on Strictly. I imagined her pushing Glebster to tweet sexy pics and do the calendar

They are based in Hong Kong and suspect they don't have any other citizenship except Russian. Apparently Gleb and Anita are having tremendous success on the tour .They have won 6 and runners up on every one of the rest so far.Basically his profile is way up there now.Totally unknown here prior to this.Anita has helped his persona in praising him constantly and basically how she is in awe of him to put it mildy. In training he is quite sharp with her but otherwise Behind the Scenes...he is not and she has said as much. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8z0Ft9nK2U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lySlBevTxCA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcpdRaSbEAU Quote:
Ive got on very good authority from someone with backstage connections that Gleb is very nice behind the scenes. So are Joanne, Alijaz and Janette, Brendan, Natalie and Kristina as well.
Problem is he can't change his face and people do assume he is vain.I don't think he is.The wife likes him. One clip she showed me ..... he and Anita are talking to Zoe about the flying Gleb where he lands on her face and Zoe asked him "where is it from" and he did make us laugh where he said..."well I don't know.I just came in on Monday and I said..Anita I have something special for you today......." Brazen and funny at the same time and we are all sitting there accepting it as a bona fida dance move.......

An intelligent, witty woman like Claudia would never obviously swoon over a man who was vacuous and arrogant, she could barely hide her contempt for Peter Andre for this reason. |
