No idea what was going on during Andre's performance, why was he there if the Soprano Sax was doing the tune? Weird.

That's certainly something that's confusing me. With how vicious people are about him, you'd think he was an utter twit and a DIRTY RINGAH all wrapped in one.
Instead, he's a hard-working kid who seems to have a good sense of humor about everything, a down-to-earth understanding of his limitations as a dancer, and a determination to do better. I haven't been here long, but I don't recall a time when the show's fanbase was so against the plucky tryer who's also kind of nice and funny and doesn't have the taint of ringerdom on him. I don't really get it. Admired him as an Olympian athlete, who wouldn't! Loved when he came into strictly his huge smile which never stopped!! He just seemed to beam constantly, lit up the TV when he was on. He thanked the judges for their comments - even the more pointed ones about his bottom and bow legs......graciously. I have loved even more the absolute hard work he puts in, he has excellent work ethics, and you can see him thinking about everything. I also love how lovely and sincere he comes across as - whether being interviewed himself, caught on the hop on ITT footage, or in the Clauditorium with his fellow dancers. And what blew me away was the way he went out and totally nailed that Dance off. I could feel the effort he put into it, it was electric, and he totally nailed it......shows his passion. I think he comes across as a genuinely lovely person and I am glad to have seen this side to him via Strictly. I don't think he will make the finals, but as much as I enjoy watching Ed, I certainly believe Greg should be there after Ed and after Judge R. |

Greg was brilliant last night but he topped it with that DO performance, it's a shame he is being held up against Danny for comparison.

If that were true then why is it those contestants who 'entertain' like Ainsley, Alison Hammond, Scott Mills, Dave Myers, Russell Grant, Lisa Riley, etc, etc, never even get a sniff of the glitter ball? All of these and more have been on the show and are entertaining (according to a lot of people on DS) and so should be kept in by your argument and yet are all gone by week 9 or 10 because their dancing wasn't good enough. If the entertainment value was what the creators wanted why make it a dance show at all? Why have professional dance judges scoring? It just doesn't make sense to then concentrate on dancing while sending the entertainers home.

Because he is the conductor of the orchestra (though not in the traditional sense of standing in front of them and waving a baton as he also plays, though occasionally he uses his violin bow to conduct). Funnily enough not all pieces of music or arrangements are written with a violin solo!

Anita really got in the neck here in the dying weeks of the last series. As soon as we hit the halfway point people flipped from "likable trier" to "delusional narcissist who's lying, must be a trained dancer because her mum liked Indian dancing and isn't making any effort to improve." in about half a second.
