I do get that it wasn't stellar as an AT, I just mean I'm more forgiving of that. That was already so deep into the competition and Anita just doesn't have the ability (nor could she) to do anything spectacular dance-wise comparable to what the other dance-trained celebs could do.
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. , and Tom and Camilla's. Basically Anita and Gleb's AT oozed sex appeal and charisma and had passion. I loved it once I got over seeing it as an AT and appreciating it just as a dance. Anita was wonderful in the dance even allowing for technical issues.

They didn't really mention Kevin, but singled out the pros mentioned above as being the ones who are well liked behind the scenes.
To Anita: "Is that as far as your legs open?" Smirks at the camera ...

Hokay, I will read between the lines. I'm not surprised Gleb is nice, he seems nice and his humour works for (most of) us Brits. He is very funny. That was his winning ticket with me; the looks of a God with the humour of a labourer.
To Anita: "Is that as far as your legs open?" Smirks at the camera ...Apparently they danced only the PASO tonight as Anita had to step in for Mel for some reason and they were not part of the vote either .Only the other 6 couples too part in the vote.I think then they could have had both Anita and Gleb as comperes to keep their fans happy. They are both quite articulate. |

I wonder if Anita had any say in whether or not she took over from Mel? I'd imagine it was either that or call off the show.

My understanding is that Elena was in Moscow mid October for some fashion shoots and in Hong Kong and Macao early November for some judging and back to London on the 15th. |

Joanne is the best female pro on Strictly by a mile. People gush about Natalie but Jo is another league, a genuine world champion in ballroom. People have just taken against her because of who she's related to, she's the one I most want to get a ringer next series.
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. Artem has had 2 partners so far, Pattie La Belle and Lea Thompson. He was side lined last season as Val C's partner dropped out and Val was given Artem's. Not great for Artem but hopefully the powers that be will make it up to him next season. Love him or hate him Derek Hough is a fabulous dancer and so original. I think most of the pros recognize that. |

See, taking Artem's partner off him and giving him to someone else would never have happened on Strictly. I don't think that's fair at all actually. Rumour has it Joanne's partner dropped out before the last series pand she just had to suck it up and get on with it.
I'm not slagging off DWTS BTW, I used to watch it when it was on UK television and I think part of the reason it's not as tradional as Strictly is because they don't have the culture of ballroom that we have in the UK. I suppose it all comes down to personal taste at the the end of the day. |

![]() Watch from 3.40 onwards and after the dance . And this is apart from the rampant crab.Must have had a great time perfecting that move and indeed that dance in the studio if this is how they were in public .Bruno has mentioned this connection and chemistry on the tour and you can see it on YB in Glasgow . Altho to be perfectly frank my wife thinks nothing untoward happened despite this.She thinks her (A) feelings are so so strong ,trying to keep a lid on it but she wants him to know and doesn't care who knows as long as he knows.She was anguished when she put both hands on her heart telling him what he is to her. He understood because he gripped her hands and hugged her.... cameras panned away. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBaZCZlvGoM She is a goodlooking woman naturally and way younger than her age in those behind the scenes clips.No makeup and her own silky hair flying about. |

The wife appears to be a really nice woman,a good mother and wife not to mention beautiful.Doesn't seem to be a loud woman.Just someone who really cares about her family.Family seems her favourite word meaning him and their daughter. |

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. |

Maybe they couldn't get anyone else to agree to take it on such short notice--that's a hard job to do, and even harder considering how well received Mel's been. Good on Anita for stepping up, though I'd have been very disappointed if I'd had tickets for that show.

Well we saw lots of articles in OK,Hello and the DM where she was in London.The daughter was here too.She is seen with him in Blackpool,in London,at a Russian Ball,at a ballet and she is seen with Anita and Gleb after every dance.They have their dance clothes on.She did go to HK right after to pick up their daughter so I assume that the child was here for a short time.I assume the granny looks after the child.The daughter is seen all round London and had a birthday party here ....all according to the wifes twitter and FB.

I remember the AT well. It was so raunchy, I felt like I was intruding on a private moment lol. You can't fake chemistry like that, can you?

Watch him look at her when he said...Anita I have something special for you today......just catch me .......And we are all.....amazing dance move ............... You have to laugh because of the way he says these things . Quote:
DWTS Info is from her twitter account.
Well all the info I gave is not particularly from her twitter or FB.She is pictured in all these places I mentioned and those papers/mags with him.He asked Claudia, she be introduced after the cha cha cha week one .She was there after the salsa with Anita and Gleb,in Blackpool and most if not all the other dances.Where are you btw...in the US?

I'm not sure I'd make too much of all the touching ... dancers are very touchy feely, body contact is part of their job.

That is true but there is the dance touching and way after the dance and away from the dance studio sitting opposite Zoe for example. What she says...comes alive.Something there but not acted on.

I'm sure Anita has feelings for Gleb (she is not the first nor the last his dance partner, which fell under his charm). He also has feelings for her....on the dance floor. He can be very persuasive, given that he attended acting classes. That is the secret of this chemistry inho.
Generally they are very different in temperament. Gleb is such a playful boy (though serious about his work), Anita is a very energetic, strong, purposeful woman. He became more calm and masculine with her and she became more feminine with him. |

Am I right in saying Lana, that his partner on DWTS Russia had quite big crush on him? I've seen it said that she was 'smitten'.
