The right couple went.  Bruno is getting grumpier by the week and I didn't think there was much for his sly comment at the end, in fact, I wish they'd all just give the name of the couple they're saving, they've had their 5 minutes with the camera just get on with it

This is freaking me out now!!

hairspray banned from strictly set



PMSL they will be banning gel, wax, shampoo and conditioner next. If it's in the interests of their H&S then fair enough.

Craig actually danced on the balls of his feet and had some bounce tonight.
Whereas Phil was very flat-footed.
If they keep mentioning Blackpool there may be a backlash; it is getting annoying.
I thought the comments about Craig were a bit brutal. A bit of encouragement would have been nice.
But the correct result I thought. Jo Wood was even worse than ever this week.
Appallingly bad.
Ali and Brian were wonderful. Great performance.

I take it that you are aware that most of the spray cannisters are mainly full of Butane gas and if you sprayed enough in a room were there was a naked light the place would blow up.

Plus breathing those fumes is not good for you and for certain people they wouldn't be able to breath at all.
I know I stop breathing if someone uses a spray in a room that I am in.

I hated when Chris got through week after week, but I went to the live tour two years ago, and Chris brought the house down..........He was much better live than he ever was on the show.

Zoe Ball was in the show too, and for me .....she was the one that was robbed by Darren Gough.

He definitely improved week on week, but she was brilliant, and she won on the night I saw it on the tour.

I hope Craig makes it to Blackpool

Hi darlo  

thank god jo went  i've decided i want jade to win  natalie is grating on me and that bloke off bbc news

How are you?, not seen you around for a bit. Who are your favourites?.

He should make it there's plenty of buses and coaches going, mostly to see the lights at this time of the year.

Don't forget to put your clocks back an hour tonight.

I really, really like Jade too.

I do like Jade, but I want Ali to win,

I still don't know who I want to win.  There are too many that I genuinely do like - Jade, Ricky G, Ali, Laila, and Natalie.  I'm like a kid in a sweet shop!  I just can't choose!

Natalie Cassidy was my favourite but I'm getting a bit annoyed with her kissing Bruces hand and generally being so OTT about her SCD experience Craig needs to button it about Blackpool, its wearing thin and Zoe needs to stop with the nervousness - she acts like she's heading to the gallows every week.
I think Laila is goreous and would love to see her and Anton go further, Ali and Brian were fabulous, love the pair of them dancing. Phil Tufnell - don't like him so I'm finding it hard to be objective. Liking Erin and Ricky G too, although he is another who needs to tone the cockney geezer acting down a bit.Jo Wood deserved to go, I was crining for her last night. I think the last three couples will be  Ricky/Natalie ,  Brian/Ali , Jade/Ian.

One of the nice things about this series is that the standard for the majority of them is pretty close. This means each week could be anybody's victory or failure; it makes it wide open. Certainly adds to the feeling of excitement.
I think Ali and Brian are quite splendid (at the moment.)

These are the most fascinating pair I think.  Anton I don't think has ever got this far has he?  It's interesting seeing him do all the Latino stuff, because he really doesn't look comfortable with it

I thought she was rather inhibted last night. She appeared not to dance freely for some reason, and was a bit `restricted`.

Ricky W and Ali are my favourites but I am really liking Chris and Ola also. I suspect Phil Tufnell will probably make it to the final or win as he is popular and the sports people normally do well, liking Laila but gone off her and Anton a bit recently performance wise. Ricky G is really good also but I don't find him entertaining and charismatic as Chris or Phil.

Me too darlo

I think they are quite a way ahead of the rest at this point.

As for Jade i've been impressed by her and starting to like her, could we be in for a Jade vs Zoe dance off next week?. Really hope the public put Craig out of his misery next time.

lily allen confirmed for strictly


, can't wait for that now, really like Lily.

This is going to sound bitchy but did anyone hear Natalie Cassidy say she is a "normal size 12 girl". With the best will in the world and allowing for the camera to add a few pounds, there is no way Natalie is only  a 12. Celebs that lie about their dress size make me mad, Coleen Nolan being one of the biggest culprits! Its a minor point but as I said, drives me mental  do they think the public are fools.

Perhaps she was talking about her shoe size?

She may be a size 12 on top, but she is not a size 12 on the bottom.

This week the celebs are all doing different dances that they haven't done yet, these are the only ones that have been confirmed so far:


Natalie Jive
Ricky G Rumba
Chris Cha Cha Cha
Craig Waltz
Phil Tango
Ricky W Quickstep
Ali Paso
Jade Foxtrot

Well if she says she's a size 12, she may be, she has lost an awful lot of weight.

Lily Should be good, want to see Lady Gaga as well, she's super isn't she?.

SCD Christmas special once again on the special day.


bbc

I wonder who will be dancing in that then.
Is is just dancers of this series, or what?

Hicky it's normally the top 4 out of the current series each year against some of the contestants from the other series, but if theres a pro still in and one of their former celeb partners taking part then they normally go with their current celeb if they are still in the main show, then the other celeb goes with another pro, this happened to Kelly Brook last year she had to dance with Brian because Brendan was dancing with Lisa Snowdon.

I see, I remember now thanks, loved Lisa and Kelly myself.

You're welcome, I couldn't stand Kelly Brook at all always disliked her from Big Breakfast but as you know I liked Lisa Snowdon.


I loved Kelly's Jive last year though, I don't think Alesha will take part now she is judging either but I hope she does. I would love Matt Di Angelo to return or Louisa Lytton to return.

That's what I said Temps - he really doesn't, does he?

Anton has only ever got far with Lesley Garrett and Patsy Palmer so far.

This must be dress of the year.
What a super thing it is as well.

Strictly Come Dancing: Jade Johnson dazzles in a dress which is barely there

Her footwork was certainly fancy but all eyes were on her dress - or the lack of it.

Jade Johnson took to the floor on Strictly Come Dancing on Saturday night in an outfit that looked like a silver cobweb.

As the 29-year-old athlete strutted to the samba with professional dancer Ian Waite, her wispy dress left little to the imagination. 

Brian Friedman says Strictly Come Dancing needs more gloss

October 26th, 2009 by Lisa McGarry.

“The BBC needs to kick it in a little bit and make it a little bit glossy, like X Factor. But regardless if it looks poor or not, I would still watch it if I had time. I love ballroom dancers and I love the whole idea of taking celebrities and seeing if they’re a complete train wreck or whether they can do really well.”

Asked why Strictly is less popular than The X Factor, he commented: “Our show’s better, that’s the only reason I can think of.”
