BTW just browsing Raphael's site, I note that the first series of DWTS had 6 couples only, with no eliminations till week 3, and checking the vids, the Freestyle Finales were pretty poor really.

Already by series 2 there were 10 couples and a huge change of Pros.

Noticed that the Polish SCD is on. The scoring is hilarious - makes DWTS seem tame.

Having rewatched all the dances that are online now from last night, I didn't really like Mark and the cheetah girl's cha cha. Thought Mel B and Maks was more like a proper cha cha.

Also agree that already Marie O is a bit irritating....

And although Jane's dance was beautfiul with great musicality, it was an AS and not an FT. Alec and Partner's FT is not up yet, but I do remember Len saying it was mostly in hold, it'll be a first, cos I'm beginning to wonder if they've ever danced an international/British style FT on DWTS. I love trad ballroom myself, I can't really get into all the AS style ballroom. I saw the vid of a group VW from series 1 and even that was AS style, even though all the couples were on the floor and supposed to be waltzing round in a circle. I really do wonder what their pros make of our ballroom dances on SCD?

I did not like the Cheetah girl's cha cha either. I hated the hip hop part. I thought Mel B dance was good but hated the dress.

PML!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know! They are a bit prominent aren't they?

Funnily enough, I don't remember them being quite as big before...is it due to Motherhood or maybe enhanced?
She also seems to wear push up bras always, even when she went to meet Maks, so you wonder if it's a ploy for publicity?

Laila was so natural and classy in comparison....I'm guessing Maks is thinking the same...

Are you going for it tonight La Rhumba ?
I want to see Helio and Julianne, but I'm flagging already. Might get some matchsticks

Poor old Helio was sweating buckets last night and his leg was shaking. Hope he's going to be ok.

Not sure yet....I might try.... It's a bit cold tonight though, and I felt rough this morning after staying up....

The way they've paired up the couples is a bit formulaic though....Maks has the feisty black lady again, Tony has the eldest lady, Julianne gets the obscure sportsman, Alec gets the Model.......sounds familiar?

Yeah, they do need to mix it up a bit. Tony is looking so different this year, can't put my finger on why. He has split from Elena his prof partner, but I don't think its that.
Well I think H/J are on 3rd, but not sure. Have you heard which pro's will dance tonight?
I don't know if I'll make it, I've had a banging head all day, despite the painkillers. I'll see how it goes.

No, haven't heard about the Pro dance tonight, but if you don't make it, don't worry, it'll be online tomorrow.

Tony is looking happier isn't he? Maybe splitting from Elena has done him good, and getting a lovely partner too.

Just watched the Pro Dance BBC did not show from the Final of series 4.

Sorry, but I much prefer the Erin and Anton style of Ballroom, so smooth in comparison, and such a beautiful top line. I find even the Pros on DWTS have wavy shoulders all the time. But I am old fashioned...

No, I'm afraid their posture never looks right to me and not one of them has a good top line. Matt could teach them a thing or two on that. Even Camilla said it was excellent

He can practise with me anytime he likes

yikes 8 minutes to go. You're right about the bloomin' time zones. NY is 6 hours behind isn't it. I thought it was LA time.
I'm lost now.

Blimey, is it me or are they really cranking up the pressure on the guys . They all look like they're going to hyperventilate

I thought that Foxtrot was ok. They used the same song that Matt and Lilia used for their Foxtrot.

Edyta and Cameron - FT to Moondance....he looked very nice, tall guy, but what was with all the flashy falling moves from her...she's way too flashy, it's not about her is it? She should showcase her partners more.

Karina and Floyd - LOL they showed Ricky Hatton and his Press Conference in Manchester last week. He's very feisty, well he's a boxer innit? Sounds like he'd like to leave in a couple of weeks and is concentrating more on his upcoming fight v Hatton. Karina was practically naked, again a few different moves for a Ca Cha, scored only 18, Karina looked shocked.

What a dream of a partner Julianne is, she's absolutely stunning. Looks gorgeous, has inante charm and yet still highlights her partner in the way that Edyta doesn't. Helios looks like he's really into it too. Choreography superbly entertaining and original to Bewitched, including nose twitch at the end by J. Hey, it was another AS not an FT, but there you go!

Anna & Albert rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great fun cha cha! Anna is back on the show, a gorgeous red head and I really liked her lots. Great choreo and the best cha so far. Again she really highlighted her partner and he lived up to the billing. Music was Elvis's Conversation - perfect choice!

Kym & Mark the Billionaire Footie team owner - ie the Roman Abramovich of America - FT to King of The Road . His costume was a brown suit, looked like it had patches LOL in a touch of irony. Kym looked lovely, as usual, another AS, choreo was a bit contrived IMO, her ballroom choreo for Joey was very kitsch too. He did well.

Cheryl & Partner - I must be dim, as I have no clue who he is, but they were all saying what an honour it was to have him on the show....

Cha Cha, quite basic but in rhythm, Cheryl doesn't do it for me as a dancer or choreographer, accepting she has a limited partner this time, she wasted Ian's ability IMO. But hey, she's a 2 time champ, but all I can ever say about her is...okay.
