I'm anticipating howls of protest but I love, love, love, Strictly Come Dancing.
So this thread is for all things Strictly. Can't wait!!!!

I think Lulu was a pain tonight. So full of herself, too cocky for me. I'm beginning to hope that Alex gets through to the end along with Harry.

My husband is convinced that Harry will win, so, unfortunately, that`s probably put the kibosh on his chances, as none of his predictions ever come true. I wasn`t too keen on Lulu`s performance tonight, but I suppose that the worst performance, dance wise, was Russell, but I`d prefer him to outlast Lulu. I loved Anita`s Charleston, but still think that Chris Hollins and Ola Jordan`s will take some beating, even 2 years on.

In order of departure:
Audley
Lulu
Robbie

Jacey Sun 06-Nov-11 19:14:58

No ...that's ten !

Perhaps someone could organise a virtual sweep-stake on the results? hmm

numberplease Sun 06-Nov-11 21:27:49

Audley may not be good at Latin dances, but he certainly didn`t deserve to be in the last 2 this week. Out of the 2 of them, I`m glad that Lulu went, although, technically speaking, Russell IS probably the poorest................but he`s SO entertaining!

gracesmum Sun 06-Nov-11 22:28:32

So I was wrong. But Lulu was rubbish - someone who has been in music all her adult life should be able to do better. Phew Audley - live to fight dance another day!!

Grannylin Sun 06-Nov-11 22:58:10

I think Lulu had to go, her neck is far too smooth for her age!

glammanana Sun 06-Nov-11 23:01:40

Lulu gone tonight she didn't seem on form at all tonight,Anita should up her game she is good I think but Chelsee could win this,was not exicited about anyone really tonight though all seemed a bit flat confused

Jacey Sun 06-Nov-11 23:08:14

Thought that Jen woman was rubbish ...8x 8s, 1x9 and 1x7 didn't they give her any other paddles??

Then Lulu ...what was she on last night ...chatting to Jen, then not even dancing with Brendan in their 'final' dance confused ...though he didn't look too upset by the decision hmm

See Brucie was singing shock ... but then he does have a new CD out hmm

Thought Anita was super on saturday really got into the spirit of the dance and Russell was a complete joy as usual. I think it was the right result tonight, Lulu has'nt really improved very much and all the others have.Jennifer Grey would'nt do for the whole series but she was lovely and I enjoyed her,it will be good to have Len back next week. Absolutely LOVED the male professionals dance tonight it was spectacular so full of energy. Lets all wish Artem a swift recovery from his injury, he looked in real pain poor thing.sad

susiecb Mon 07-Nov-11 08:26:50

Bye bye Lulu I dont think she put her back into this she didnt improve at all and her partners face was a picture. The male professional dance was a travesty of timing they coudlnt keep together at all, the girls were much better but it did look like a pole-less pole dance.
Well done Anita - she's my favourite not that I could ever be bothered to votesmile

nanachrissy Mon 07-Nov-11 10:50:22

So glad Lulu went, she was getting too big for her boots as usual, and Brendan didn't say anything nice about her either!
What is Tess going to wear next? She is beginning to look increasingly desperate. Too skinny, skirts too short and hair too blonde. She used to be much more classy.
The BBC is losing the plot! confused

HildaW Mon 07-Nov-11 11:50:22

Dear Strictly, Never ever let darling Len have a week off. What was that silly woman on? Her scoring was all over the place.

grandmaagain Mon 07-Nov-11 15:45:46

I'm beginning to think I am on the wrong thread! I thought this was for us sad souls who enjoy Strictly Come Dancing! there seem to be an awlful lot of unhappy people who are'nt enjoying it at all and I'm wondering why they still watch, nobody HAS to. Come on everyone lighten up! this is fun, frothy fluffy ,sparkly, silly saturday night entertainment it does'nt mean a thing it is just for fun! smile

numberplease Mon 07-Nov-11 16:23:56

And I LOVE it!

grandmaagain Mon 07-Nov-11 20:37:02

me too grin

Jacey Mon 07-Nov-11 22:38:14

Well ...Artem could butter my toast any day of the week blush

silverfoxygran Mon 07-Nov-11 23:16:58

Reading this has really cheered me up - I thought I was just being a bit bitchy by longing for Lulu to be voted off. I think she really showed-off during her last dance and I can't help thinking Brenden was glad to see the back of her.

It makes me sick how women like her claim that a good skin-care routine prevents her from looking her age ... well it's not working on me! Now don't go thinking I'm in the least bit jealous will you?envy

nanachrissy Tue 08-Nov-11 10:22:25

Come on Grandmaagain, half the fun of watching SCD ( and I love it too) is having a good old bitch about it afterwards! grin

kittylester Tue 08-Nov-11 10:25:09

Well said nanachrissy I love Strictly because I love some people and love to hate some people smile

grandmaagain Tue 08-Nov-11 14:34:07

well it takes all sorts I suppose but I don't get the bitchy thing at all confused confused

Jacey Tue 08-Nov-11 15:04:06

Oh Artem!! shock

uk.tv.yahoo.com/strictly-dancer-artem-chigvintsev--may-leave-show-following-spine-injury-daily-tv-round-up.html

But didn't Matthew Cutler stand in for someone? Does that mean the original professional wasn't allowed back? Does anyone know the rule for this?? confused

The show will not be the same without him ...though Brendan is following Artem's choreography at the moment.sad

Hattie64 Tue 08-Nov-11 20:14:11

I hope Artem recovers, mind you I never felt he looked comfortable with Holly, not like last year!!! I have forgotten her name, but they are a couple aren't they? well they were.

numberplease Tue 08-Nov-11 21:11:36

Kara Tointon, I think they still are a couple.

dontcallmegramps Wed 09-Nov-11 08:57:08

Given the media gossip about Kara being jealous of Holly with Artem I wonder how he got his injury
