Juts read the article in RT (in Smiths don't buy it) re Strictly Come Dancing and it looks dire - no Brucie and a guest list of no-one I have ever heard of except that coarse fruit and veg man and Andy Murray's sour faced mother.
I suppose I will get sucked in but I think its a record and wiz through job now - I like watching the professional dancers but can't stand the rubbish that Tess talks.
Will you be watching?

Argentine tango with Pasha! wink

I did not think so last week or yesterday but Scott is now top of my list- I find him mildly irritating. Also he cannot dance.

papaoscar Sun 05-Oct-14 20:19:21

One ego down, who's next for the chop?

Lona Sun 05-Oct-14 20:07:48

Well, thank goodness Greg's gone, I think maybe Scott should be next.

I have a sneaky feeling that Claudia is going to take over the show wink

Judy seems to be a lovely lady, unlike her eldest son, but it`s looking like her and Greg for the dance off, but it`s Greg I want to see the back of. How any of them could even TRY that cake after he`d stuck his face into it, I`ll never know, YUCK!!

Enjoyed it all so much more without Bruce. Greg to go this week, he really irritates me. Next to go should be Judy unless she improves dramatically next week. Dare I say we can see where her son gets his 'sparkling' personality from ? Plenty of budding talent to keep us entertained.

I'd love to do a salsa, don't know who with. I'd definitely need the magic dress !! grin

ninathenana Sun 05-Oct-14 16:22:40

Greg or Judy to go ?

No please, Scott has to go.

Gagagran Sun 05-Oct-14 16:13:08

I'll book Anton after you chloe but we will be dancing the slow foxtrot and everyone will think it' s Fred and Ginger come to life. I shall have a magic gown too and my hair and make-up will add to the illusion. Oh bliss! wink

I would choose to dance the American smooth with Anton. However I would expect my gown to be of chiffon with layers of crystal beads that enhance my graceful movements. I would also expect my gown to make me appear to be a size 6/8. After make up I would also look at least twenty years younger with absolutely no grey in my suddenly luxuriant curly tresses.wink

HollyDaze Sun 05-Oct-14 13:45:11

Will any of you be hoping you are nominated to join in the public version of SCD?

Just say if you did, what dance would you choose to do (that you think would suit you or that you would do well)?

I would choose the Charleston (suits my personality) but my favourite dance is the Vienesse Waltz (but doubt I'd be good at that).

HollyDaze Sun 05-Oct-14 13:43:36

I also hope Greg goes and I agree with the other comments about sticking his face in cakes - how old is he! He just isn't funny and someone really needs to tell him that.

I hope Judy doesn't go just yet, it might just be nerves and she's received a bit of a negative response and I'd love her turn it around.

I thought there was an over-reation about Jake - he is good but he's far from being brilliant (yet!).

I loved Pixie's waltz but it's obvious she could already dance so that, for me, makes it a bit unfair.

Charleygirl Sun 05-Oct-14 13:26:00

I would be happy to see Greg go tonight. Sticking his nose in the cake for me, was the last straw.

I agree, Judy's figure is fabulous- if she could only relax- Anton is doing everything he can but I do not think that it will be enough.

Jake's dancing was breathtaking, I am assuming that was very unexpected. I did not know who he was until last week.

sparkygran Sun 05-Oct-14 12:35:16

Really enjoyed Strictly tonight Claudia I think is brilliant even the way she had to keep on giving out those boring phone/text numbers became just about bearable with her wit. Relax, Judy, relax.

henetha Sun 05-Oct-14 11:14:47

Whether or not Judy can dance, she certainly has an enviable figure, doesn't she. If she could only relax she might be an o.k. dancer.
I thought Strictly was really enjoyable last night.

Jane10 Sun 05-Oct-14 09:01:32

There seems to be such a clear division between the brilliant ones and the no hopers! Surely Judy will be out tonight? However, you never can tell as, especially in the early days, it can just be a popularity contest. How humiliating to first voted off though!!!

Teetime Sun 05-Oct-14 07:41:38

It all seem to be more of a party this year and more friendly. I loved Claudia's hat too - where can I get one?
Lots of people who could come off and who will never I fear make a dancer- I suppose it comes down to public support. in previous years people who cant dance have gone quite a long way. I agree with you lona I think Greg should go - all that sticking his face in a cake is horrible and he has no rhythm but thinks he's funny - not!! Judy looks as though every moment is agony perhaps she wants to go.

Lona Sat 04-Oct-14 23:42:11

I think Tess and Claudia seemed much more relaxed tonight. Claudia is so funny, especially wearing that Carmen Miranda hat!
Jake was fantastic and his partner is amazingly supple, and I can't wait to see the back of Greg.

annodomini Sat 04-Oct-14 22:55:18

There seems to be a tremendous spirit among the competitors and professionals. They might get more competitive as time goes on. I fear that Judy may be out tomorrow night. She is incredibly stiff.

POGS Sat 04-Oct-14 21:52:05

I still can't believe the standard this year, it's so good.

There are so many runners but I do like Alison, she just accepts she is a big lass and won't probably win but she comes out smiling and enjoys every minute but she actually delivers the goods.

kittylester Sat 04-Oct-14 21:26:06

I can now see where DD2 is comong from blush. Go, Jake!

merlotgran Tue 30-Sept-14 17:25:43

He did, Tegan but in true Andy Murray fashion he said it was a misunderstanding........when they lost!!

Tegan Tue 30-Sept-14 17:10:49

I hadn't realised he'd supported the 'Yes' campaign openly sad.

NanKate Tue 30-Sept-14 08:18:10

I was referring to Andy Murray supporting the Yes Campaign and some in the media saying that would stop viewers voting for her.

Yes I am warming to her too especially after hearing her on Desert Island Discs.
