Give it a rest Craig - I thought Colin was good 

Give it a rest Craig - I thought Colin was good 

Not sure whether Denise should be on this show at all

Well she's good...what a surprise

typical this post turns up after I've done another one  

Of what I saw he looked a bit stiff, but there's definitely potential for improvement.

(This is about Colin)

I don't think she should be 

Neither could I. which is why I said who my previous post was about.

Oh and another surprise...they voted her top

Is the forum a blunky and goggy for anyone else tonight?

I really hope she's one of the first to be gone which would show the BBC you can't pull the wool over our eyes 

She has danced on stage and although ballroom is different, she knows the impostance of posture and line..so on balance she has an unfair advantage

yes Soozy - I'm having lots of difficulties posting 

but I'm off to bed now as I have a tutorial in the morning so nighty night

Oh yes

Night night all...see you tomorrow if it doesn't clash with football

REMEMBER IT'S ON AT 6:30 TONIGHT!

Does anyone know who the new female professional dancer has replaced?

I mean't the new girl that is with Nicky

NICKY AND KAREN

I think Karen is American she replaces Katya Virshilas.

Karen is around 30 and is actually Venezuelan.

I thought you meant new as in stand-in.

Mind you, another story I'm reading says it is James - Ola's husband, who is in this year because of Katya's departure.

But a bit more digging reveals that James was dancing last year and that it IS Karen Hauer that is in, instead of Tatya Virshilas.

Hi all... just watched last night's show and skimmed through the thread.    Only colin and Denise impressed.    I actually like Denise though, so I don't mind even if she does have a perceived advantage (having two left feet and NO sense of rhythm, I've not idea if she does or not)      See you all 'live' tonight.

See you then Kaffy!

I wish you hadn't mentioned the * ja* Pengy , cos now I can't ignore it !

It was bugging me more and more as the show went on. Along with "Right?" Can I give her a bit of advice? She needs to extend her credit card and get some public speaking guidance right? Yah? It's a shame as she seems lovely and eager to help. 

I have to say ... Colin **rubs hands on thighs gratuitously and leers**  

I have finally realised what it is I can't take to in Mickey Vaughan - he doesn't really have a chin. 

I couldn't decide whether Bruce's comment about it being nice to have a "real dancer" on the judging panel was a dig at Alesha or not. 

I was a bit confused about that too.

Evening allIt appears to be a bit smoother in here tonight - last night was incredibly clunky and wobbly.

Give it time!

Evening all.

Evening all - couldn't type while I was watching the opening dance 

One good thing about watching yesterday's at midnight - I could fast forward through the drivel.

In all honesty. did anyone?

I didn't understand the 50 shades joke. Went totally over my head!!
