Strictly Result

[vernonk]

Please someone!

I know very well do I ? Thanks for pointing that out to me ! I've had my say on Laura and stand by it. Please feel free to have to have the last word ...

Laura appears to have no shortage of self-adoration, a trait seemingly shared by Gabby LOGAN who made a shock early exit from Strictly years ago despite being one of the favourites. It is indeed a popularity contest more than a dance competition and the British public tend to get turned off by slebs who think they pee eau de cologne and poo chocolate.

....as for Tamika's shock exit following the controversial eviction of Melvyn....how long before a certain card will be raised?

[Eve]

What!! I really wasn't expecting that. I thought it would be Anastacia and Naga in the dance off.

Didn't expect to see either of them in the dance off this week. I loved Tamika and Gorka, some great choreography and they were such a great team and did some fantastic routines. Loved her Charleston. Really sorry to see them go so soon.

Laura's dancing doesn't excite me but she is ok. The Judges really seem to like her, Daisy and Louise. Louise is better but haven't been that excited by Daisy or Laura, or Naga either. Early days though.

Some great choreography this year so far. I loved Claudia's routine, really like her. I think Danny Mac is brilliant too! Great to see a few good male celebrities this year.

[Eve]

Tameka even, sorry!

[ummmm]

The race card, if that's what you mean, won't be raised.

Eve, TV companies favour the beautiful young things because they guarantee media coverage and therefore publicity for the show. Look at any newspaper, magazine, advert, etc, and the dominant images are nearly always attractive young women. So producers of programmes think: " if that's what it takes to get our show known and popular..."

Ed Balls is getting the most publicity so far

[MargoTester]

Did anybody else think that Ore Odubu's 'crying' was a bit false? It made me squirm

[Eve]

I just thought he got a bit emotional. I was more put off by his smirking faces through the routine. I wasn't sure whether that was meant to be a character thing though. Great dance though, Joanne's choreography is brilliant, definitely runs in the family as love Kevin's too.

[Eve]

I think Ed Balls has been brilliant so far! Loved his Charleston last week and although his actual dancing this week wasn't great he was so entertaining, on and off and dancefloor.

I missed the programme - how did Judge Rinder do? He seems to be one of Darcy Bussell's
favourites, from what she said on the Jonathan Ross show last night.

[ummmm]

I thought he was good but they're all good compared to me.

[hc4361]

Ed has absolutely no inhibitions. Great fun.

Rinder is, well, you'll just have to watch him on YouTube or iPlayer. There are no words.

[Eve]

I loved Judge Rinder's routines in the first two shows but was disappointed by last night's. Maybe it was the theme but with how entertaining he is and his skill level I just thought that their Charleston would be much better than it was.

[Eve]

That said, it is something of a spectacle... :)

[hereIam]

Love Judge Rinder.

[Eve]

Me too! I think it's why I was frustrated last night, I had such high hopes for their Charleston. Hopefully he will be back on better form next week.

I always see something different to what the judges see Eve, I thought it was great !
