they will, they all do for about 30 seconds, thats why Len is teaching Fiona at the moment, hoping that she will improve for that day. If she will be there Bill and Karen definitely will be

You can uncross them. All of the eliminated couples usually come back for one showdance together.

I would be highly surprised if they dispensed with that tradition. My guess is that Bill and Karen should light up the dancefloor once more with their superb hat-swapping Cha Cha.

Actually, keep your fingers crossed.

lol, awww.

I am looking forward to the final when we will get to see them!
Meanwhile please please please vote Colin and Erin

Here's one for you Bill and Karen lovers out there:

That's a compilation I did for last week.

urgh my computer is being evil and not letting me see them, oh well i suppose i had better go to bed now anyway, work tomorrow (bad cos i have to get up early but good cos i get to see all my puppies the joys of a kennel maid lol)

If such is the case then my mom, my 4 sisters and I think it would be a nice thing to invite Bill Turnbull and Karen Hardy back for the Special.

There, I said it. *LOL* Bill had an incredible sense of fun and is still engaging people in lively debates as to the merits of his dancing. And let's face it; it may not have been the most prudent move for him to keep dancing after getting hurt, and some people have gone so far as to say that it shows how stupid he was. I don't think so.

To me, it shows just how badly he wanted it, both for himself and his partner. Feet and ankles take one hell of a pounding when you dance. Now imagine dancing on a foot that in all reality most people wouldn't even be WALKING on, let alone dancing on had it happened to them. Having been where he was (a sprain bad enough to my ankle last year that it pulled a piece of bone off the joint) I can tell you in no uncertain terms that it HURTS. How he kept his mind off the pain and just kept coming back, I don't know. And only he knows why.

And what can I say of Karen that already hasn't been said? What a brilliant choreographer- she learned what his character was like and what his innate strengths were, then designed routines around them to best take advantage of those things. I'm not forgetting about her own dancing though. You only have to look at her to see a tremendous love for the sport. Then when she actually gets going, watch out! Got a DVD-R from my aunt and cousins in Worthing where I finally got to see some of the show in full. At the end, I was left wondering..."Where does she get the energy for all THAT?!?" To say nothing of that winning attitude of hers...

In the end, for whatever reasons (only the parties involved know for sure) Jill and Darren won't be dancing at the Christmas special. That leaves 1 spot open the way I see it.

Why not fill it (if they want to) with the team of Turnbull and Hardy? It'll give them both another chance to showcase their skills - at a time when Bill should be at 100% again and they can both put even MORE into a performance than they have already.

Besides, I wouldn't mind seeing the cha-cha routine again. They OWNED the night they did that one no questions asked. Pure magic at its best.

Cheers!

You've definitely hit the bullseye with that idea!!! Reprising the cha cha cha BRILLIANT!!!! It was fantastic. Especially at the start, Bill had a pose, hand on hip, looking cool and the expression on his face...pure gold.

lol- there's always hope! I can't imagine myself doing that either

*is secretly hoping that Karen will be on the showdance tonight again* that's if there is one, oh please please!!

I agree little_miss! Last week she was fantastic (as was brendan). I hope there is another one tonight with Karen on!

yes I really hope so as I never taped the last one. She dances so beautifully, it's great to watch! Still, am also looking forward to seeing her dance with Bill on the final. Wonder what they will dance

I hope its the Cha Cha Cha (hat dance) that was soooo good! i also will be taping tonight *punches self hard for not taping last week*. Karen is the best professional on the show........reallly hope she is back next year! Im looking forward to seeing her on the christmas special!

Karen was a lovely dancer to watch but in my opinion Bill wasn't up to muster as a dancer, not at all. Sorry.

She was the only proffesional that made me cry by what she said, I only cried when Brendan and Anton went because they are lovely. I hope she comes back next year she's about the only female proffesional I like.

yes I loved that, They got their highest score for it, I was wondering if all the couples woul do their best dance, can't remember it from last year

maybe he wasn't a very good dancer but whatever anyone says I believe Karen got the best out of him and I have a feeling that if he would have been paired with someone else he may not have come as far as he did

little_miss:

I'm not arguing that point. Karen should NOT be hanging up her dancing shoes.

The worst dancer, without fail, was Gloria - it was like watching a tanker coming into Southampton docks.

But Bill was never much better than the bottom 3 but he gets a 10/10 for effort and at least he didn't throw himself at one of the judges in the most embarassing way like another certain TV presenter.....

I can't say I saw one dance where I thought "Bill, that was really good" it was always "Bill, that was OK considering you have a bad foot/other complaint this week". Karens abilities, kind heart and patience and personality should guarantee her a lifetime TV career in dance, shame she doesn't seem to be interested.

Yeah, thats what made me like Bill...the fact that he and Karen always had a laugh. there training videos were soooo funny. I think Karen defo brought out the best in him. I think most people liked her not just for her fantastic dancing but for her personality....she always smiled at everything! I hope she is on tonight!
