Jeremy Vine is the first celebrity to be announced - will he be the first one off?

merlotgran Sat 10-Oct-15 20:46:30

I'm enjoying this year because I actually know who most of them are.

I think Anton let Katie Dereham down with poor choreography. This is his chance to show what he can do and he didn't!!

Anya Sat 10-Oct-15 20:47:25

Is Tess pregnant?

annodomini Sat 10-Oct-15 20:56:47

I've a feeling that Anton is so used to having poor partners that he doesn't give Katie challenging enough choreography. Perhaps he learnt his lesson tonight. She certainly deserved better.

Charleygirl Sat 10-Oct-15 21:02:15

I agree anno he is not used to be given a partner who does not act like a sack of potatoes. Hopefully they will be back next week.

Jay was fabulous, I was sorry that I had not recorded it because I would like to see it again. I suppose I can watch it on iplayer.

seacliff Sat 10-Oct-15 21:02:35

Jay was amazing, he looked like a professional when dancing - but seemed shell shocked by the praise - quite endearing.

NanKate Sat 10-Oct-15 21:57:01

I decided to give up watching SCD from tonight as I cannot take all the daft chat. Anton is the only one who makes me genuinely laugh.

I shall follow your comments each week and enjoy Virtual Strictly through your comments. There is a vague possibility that I will watch the Final.

Goodbye, see you at Yuletime. grin

Anya - IS Tess pregnant? If so, I hope she takes a long pregnancy leave! Oh, hang on though. Didn't she have a falling out with her husband? Are they still together?

I agree about Darcy's scoring of Jay's jive - why wouldn't she award a ten even in the third week? Seems a bit daft to me.

NotTooOld Sat 10-Oct-15 22:03:36

NanKate - do what I do. Sit with the remote and just turn the sound down on the chat. I agree, it is most annoying, particularly the rubbish they show about the training, and I wish they would concentrate on the performance.

Anya Sat 10-Oct-15 22:09:30

NotToo I had a phone call half way through Strictly and hit the pause button. When I glanced back at the screen her stomach looked very rounded. Perhaps, if there's been husband trouble, she just been comfort eating.

Or perhaps my TV needs sorting as I though Pasha looked distinctly tubby in his GI costume hmm

NanKate Sat 10-Oct-15 22:16:53

I liked your idea*Nottooold*.

I looked on Youtube and found Jay doing his jive it was brilliant.

Lona Sat 10-Oct-15 22:21:00

Anya I didn't notice Tess but I thought Pasha looked a bit tubby too! I used to like him but I think I'm going off him a bit now hmm

GreatauntieLinda Sat 10-Oct-15 23:03:17

I just tape the programme then fast forward through the chatty and other parts I'm not interested in.

GeminiJen Sun 11-Oct-15 10:40:39

Me too, GreatauntieLinda.....
Watched the last episode in 20 minutes flat grin

kittylester Sun 11-Oct-15 10:52:54

I'd just like to point out that way up there ^ I mentioned that I fancied Jay (as a good dancer!) - just saying!

librarylady Sun 11-Oct-15 12:49:57

Jay's dance was brilliant, in fact I voted for it. But after 6 years at a dance academy, it certainly should be so not sure the surprise on his face was wholly genuine.

NotTooOld Sun 11-Oct-15 13:17:13

librarylady - Jay has had six years at a dance academy? Is that so? Seems a bit unfair then and I may have to revise my enthusiasm for him.

Anya Sun 11-Oct-15 13:32:27

librarylady if that's true then it does seem unfair.

Jane10 Sun 11-Oct-15 13:33:55

Gosh that's awful. I never actually rated him. Def won't now!

Anya Sun 11-Oct-15 13:39:38

Been googling and it appears he did attend a prestigious dance academy for many years. The look on his face was not surprise then, possibly more embarrassment.

NotTooOld Sun 11-Oct-15 14:10:10

What a shame. I do think they should pick people with NO dance training or experience. Perhaps that's not possible with actor/musician/singer types?

merlotgran Sun 11-Oct-15 19:39:10

I'm confused....I thought Jay had a haircut last week but his ponytail has re-appeared. confused

Ana Sun 11-Oct-15 19:43:48

They did say on the programme merlot that it was a shame he'd had it cut the week before! Obviously he was wearing a 'falsie'! grin

loopylou Sun 11-Oct-15 19:48:10

It's the first time I've not seen any of it, not sure why but sitting watching the vote off tonight I really wonder how much longer it will go on. I don't even know half the contestants....perhaps I'm getting too old!
The judges are irritating me big time hmm!

Gagagran Sun 11-Oct-15 20:18:12

Kellie is another with a dance background. In fact she was teaching at the Sylvia Young Theatre School until she got the Eastender's part so no wonder she looks so professional - she is! I just wish she would stop screeching!

Ana Sun 11-Oct-15 20:25:04

And Peter André must have had a lot of dance/movement coaching during his popstar days!
