I'm a girl and i understand!

Was it me, or did the "professional" part of Beyonce's performance get sort of sidelined? It seemed like they had to cut away from Flavia and Vincente quite a lot.

It was the same when Ronan was on..... we hardly saw the Cutlers beautiful rumba

Hey - if you seach karen&bryan on youtube you get some of karen's performances just before she retired.

I just slo-mo'd it, yes it was lilia, she was smiling and then caught his glance and looked a bit unnerved.

I'll go and have a look again at it...I think Darren can be bad tempered

and before I didn't mean anything bad against Flavia and Vincent (I like them too)- just that they'd already been on as part of the professionals....

and I'd gotten my hopes up that it would be Brendan and Karen.

Ooh ta for that cymrugirl, may well do that!

I've just looked back at the cha cha. It looks like Lilla was the one giving a bad look. Wonder why. I feel sorry for her.

I completely missed this bad look thing and i'm pretty observant

There was a look don't know who gave to who!

It could have been him just standing on her toe though

Sorry to hear you're in pain! As a girl, I much prefer Lilia.

I asked this question in the live thread, but did Vincent "drop" Flavia during their dance? The bit at the beginning where he pulled her backwards, she seemed to go down on her bum with one hell of a thud, and then lost momentum and had to scramble to her feet after she'd been through his legs.

Yep, spotted it too.

Lilia gave darren a filthy look. She started off smiling then it suddenly changed. To me it looked as though Darren was still smiling but it was more difficult to see his face.
Bet they had a big row before they came out and Lilia dropped the professional smile too early!

Glad I'm not hallucinating. It looked pretty painful - good for her for getting up and delivering a great performance for the rest of it. That's why the pros are pros, I suppose!

It looked more like a lustful look to me, like they were still in the raunchy mood of the dance. Her eyes were narrowed but her lips stayed open, more "I want you right now" than "I hate you right now", I thought.

You should be writing romance novels

I thought the look that Lilia gave Darren was more lustful than angry too (James & Ola were also getting a bit into it).

Flavia looked amazing though...

Yeah sorry, just noticed, you commented about her even before I did!

So it's not just us guys going ga-ga over Flavia.

Nope, I'm going ga-ga over her too. Although not in exactly the same way as you are, I think..

Really? My first thought was "get a room" and I've watched it back a few times and still think the same. Lust!

I noticed James and Ola

I though that, it was a look that said "were going to have words when we get home"

Really missed Karen and Brendan They are so much better than some of the new dancers IMO

I guess they have too many pros this year so they cant all dance and I do think the fact that Brendan and Karen dont compete anymore has something to do with it

I think Darren and Lilia just relaxed their fixed smiles at the end of the routine as all dancers do. Anyone who has danced will know how your face muscles ache at the end of a dance if you are competing and keeping a fixed expression. Unfortunately the camera caught it. If they had focussed on another couple at that time, we might have seen the same thing. Don't think there is any more to it than that.

Me too The dance was quite raunchy, so it;s understandle... I can't see them fighting to be honest... they once said their biggest fight was over who knocked the lights off at night, so... hehe!
