  • Glad Davood didn't go home. Out of the two couples the right one went home. 

    Thought Ruth danced really well this week ??

    It was a good show this week.   Didn't see it till Sunday night cos we were out dancing ourselves on Saturday night.   Some really good choreography by the pros with a proper tango from Anton and a proper q'step from Kevin.  Didn't Susan do well?!!   

    Agree with Craig about floor swipes in Viennese waltz.   Not the right dance.   Still can't stand AJ.   Gorka and Oti are very clever with their choreographies.   The right ones went home.

    Why, Why, Why???? do they put dancers on with the guest Artist, it appears to drive what when the camera pans around looks like a mature audience into a school kids at a rave frenzy. Clapping cheering even screaming it must upset both the guest artist and the dancers. In my day we sat quietly through a performance then showed our approval or not as the case may be. It annoys me so much I turn the sound off until it is over so have no idea whether the artist is good or bad.

    This week I found myself smiling with Susan and Bryan, not at them as has happened in other years, they are triers which is more than could be said of some Celebs they have had, they should have sent both dance off couples home though.

    The judging was pathetic and we all knew how the leader board would look, oh well we are back to four next week. I love Gemma, for a biggish girl she can move, the lifts are yet too come, I wonder?

    The artists get massive publicity for little effort. The audience is wound up on purpose to cheer the dancers tho, like Frank, I'd rather they were quiet and really watched the dancing tho i can forgive them for not always listening to the act.

    Another good set of dances with clever choreography from the professionals who really seem to be suiting things to their partner and using dance and not gimmicks this year.  Loved Gemma's foxtrot - and the frock - and thought Debbie did very well with the rumba despite the dreadful frock.  Very good Paso from the wee Scots chappy and I thought Susan did well with her cha-cha despite being completely the wrong build for it.   

    Both dance off contestants needed to go home.  Just a question of time.  Very wooden Charleston and lack lustre jive.

  • I don't like all the fannying about before they start dancing. Wish they'd just get on with the dance like they used to in the first few series image

    Thought the scores were high for everyone. Shirley  is so obvious with her favourites.

    But still enjoyed it this weekimage

    Didn't think much of it GWRS.  pros' dance at the start left me cold.  All that faffing with filming badly scripted vignettes of each couple is such a waste of time and money and was particularly bad this week.  Thank heavens some of the celebs danced well - almost like pros!
