Maybe if the group cha cha hadn't taken place, Ed and Katya would have been in the final.

So what does not mean they had any previous training. Pretty sure Austin Healy did not and he got a 9 in his first week.

It seems he has forgotten his stint on 'Let's Dance for Comic Relief'.

No, but it does mean they were fairly proficient from the off.

Well that could mean anything natural talent, good teaching hard work or just a dance that suited them.. Both Sophie and Susanna had poor weeks as well as good weeks
Darren Gough aside, no winner to date has journied higher up the leader board than from 4th place on week one. It just seems, to me, that the none-dancing journey is a bit of a non sequitur. |

Both Claudia and Ore have made good progress and it wouldnt be too bad if either of them won IMO.

And so have most of the designated 'ringers'.

I do love that the title of this thread makes it sound like a lost and forgotten country that can never return.
"The beginners are going out all over Strictly. We shall not see them win again in our lifetime." |

Oh do give the word ringer a rest. It is so tedious. It's becoming so that anybody who has ever put one front infront of the other is called a ringer. At least fifty percent of SCD contestants come from the entertainment world and it stands to reason that in their professional lives they will at some time probably have had to dance.
I for one do not want to see fifteen left-footed contestants plod their way through weeks of grindingly dull dancing. |

I really don't understand the obsession with " journey " on this show. I really don't
![]() Why does a " beginner " absolutely need to make it till the end Like someone else mentioned it's extremely difficult to see complete novices in the entertainment world because a lot of them do either stage schools or take dance classes quite early on.The best dancer doesn't always win this show. Be a ringer actually works against them a lot of time. If Claudia makes it to the finals, she has a better chance of winning than Danny imo. |

I can't help but think that this thread is another variation of " Danny is a ringer " thread. |

if Ore makes final then yes
People talk about the journey with 'beginners' ... he hasn't had one, not really. |

If you rule out anyone who has ever danced in any form before there will be no more actors, singers or entertainers in the competition. I like seeing all abilities and don't want 12 weeks of people with just basic talent.

It is Darren Gough's fault - he went on and on and on and on and on and on about how he was on such a journey and how he had never danced before and, oh did I mention that I was on a journey and that I've never danced before....

Yes, this would be ideal. Journey stories of 2 non-dancers who become good dancers rather than the 2 professionally trained stage school ringers who were near enough perfect from the start.

BIB: Wicked has no dancing in it? That's unusual, most West End musicals have a fair few chorus numbers in them
![]() I think this subject came up on another thread a couple of weeks ago, and posters who had been to see Wicked said that the understudy role would still have had to take part in ensemble dances, of which there were quite a few. Sure, it's not ballroom and latin dancing, but I can't see how anyone can deny that four years on the West End stage haven't given Danny a huge advantage. I think my votes will be going to Claudia now, in an effort to get at least one genuine non-ringer into the final ![]() |

Louise did dancing at italia Conte as a kid as part of lessons, music and acting and finished when she was 15 years old.
Danny went to dance college has learnt far more than basic steps which has been obvious from week one Anyway, not that it matters to me. I think all of the remaining contestants are great and should be commended for the amount of time and effort they put in to training every week instead of being slated for having any sort of dance experience. |

I read somewhere Louise went to top Italian dancing school or had a training?
Is it true? |

It's an entertainment show and I want to be entertained!
All of the celebs are beginners in Latin and ballroom, that's all that matters, and there isn't even really a rule in that respect, as some people have done specials before the main show. A whole show full of complete non-dancers would be dreadful. At the end of the day, to a large extent after Blackpool the difference is caused by how much people train. Funny how the person so many people cry foul against because he went to stage school and has done some dancing on stage is the one who seems to be doing the most training... |

What are you implying? Do you have information to the contrary?
