chelsea Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Really enjoyed tonights show! Thought Rachel and Vincent's rumba was sensational and it deserved the high marks. and I loved the Paul Weller song they danced to I thought Craig was marking low though thought Cherie derserved more than a 7 ! Tom's hips! Is anyone else like me and enjoys the dresses? (not that I could wear them), but the costume design on the programme is super (Erin's dress was gorgeous) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I'm thoroughly enjoying it! Rachel and Vincent were sizzling!!!!!!!! Tom's ?Samba? was also fab - very intricate! I'm another who loves all the dresses and glitz and glamour - absolutely gorgeous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Fab tonight wasn't it. Surprisingly, I thought Lisa's dance was one of the weaker ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I loved Strictly last night and they all danced so well. Even John was ok but obviously not up to everyone elses standard. I said to OH that I didn't like Lisa's dress this week but her Viennese Waltz dress last week was so gorgeous, she looked like a 40's/50's film star. Rachel and Vincent's Rhumba was so beautiful, she danced so well. I loved Tom (again) he puts so much into it. I agreed with Craig's marks and comments about Cheri though as her dance was too 'tidy and prim'. I don't think she lets go enough. And yet again Jodie did a really lovely waltz with Matthew, he did a really gorgeous waltz with Alesha if I remember rightly. Jodie looked lovely in the red as well. I feel quite nervous about tonight's show now as it could be anybody in the bottom two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Is anyone else like me and enjoys the dresses? (not that I could wear them), but the costume design on the programme is super (Erin's dress was gorgeous) I love the frocks too & there have been some belters this year. Camilla seems to have had some real rotters though - her ress this week was just awful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Christina's dress was lovely last night and so glad it wasn't yellow again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MedusA Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I loved Tom & Camilla and Rachel & Vincent especially tonight. John's dance was sweet and he even almost managed the lifts . Nevertheless, if John doesn't go this week it will be a travesty as there are only so many symapthy votes, surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 As they've all been saying all week.....it's an entertainment programme.... so who knows I'd like him to go now as well - it's entertaining enough with all the better dancers! I'm glad they've given Tess a better wardrobe this year as well - last year she had to wear some truly awful dresses......one was like a bin bag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 hope Jodie doesnt go tonight, she's really improved and I think she seems like a really likeable person , for a model she doesnt seem to have that "diva" im better than you attitude. John should go tonight really. Brendan will be in a right strop if they get voted off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..lay a little egg for me Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I'm glad they've given Tess a better wardrobe this year as well - last year she had to wear some truly awful dresses......one was like a bin bag Gosh, yes, I remember saying just that when I saw it. They are a bit better this year, but why does she never have a skirt big enough to extend her leg properly in the opening 'dance' sequence with Brucie? I voted for the first time this week, to try to keep Lisa and Jodie in...it is definitely time for John to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Same old same old. The great British public in its infinite wisdom have voted John back on. Lisa and Cheri were in the dance off and Cheri has gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I had thought about emailing the BBC about the time of the second programme - because I'm sure quite a lot of youngsters watch the Saturday programme but the Sunday programme is far too late when they have school next day........ Now I don't think I'll bother...... because I won't be watching a next series anyway I hope their viewing figures plummet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paola Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I cannot believe what they've done tonight - I don't think I'll bother watching anymore I agree I did not watch it as we love top gear in our house I thought that Cheri had a good chance of winning I think that John should step down and give somebody deserving a chance.

Guest Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Well. I think John Sargent is a very clever man. He understands how the British public works and is busy pressing all the right buttons without us even noticing. I am sad that someone good has gone tonight but I can't help but admire his tactics. He can't win with his dancing skills so he is playing the game with a different strategy. I am very impressed with the skills he is employing and the way he is using his many years of experience.

Quote from John after a real drubbing by the judges, "It is funny, how judges both in real life and on Strictly Come Dancing lose touch with the views of ordinary people. Here we have a classic example of this; as a political correspondent I know this." I definitely agree and good for him. You can hardly think the results unfair just because you disagree with them unless of course you think the votes are being manipulated and we've been there before.

You can hardly think the results unfair just because you disagree with them unless of course you think the votes are being manipulated and we've been there before. I agree. John himself is hardly to blame. Yes, the people who are voting for him are doing so for quite bizarre reasons given that it is a dance competition but that's the way the cookie crumbles. JS is probably responsible for some good telephone donations to Children in Need! It is a shame that a better dancer has had to go (again!) but imho Cheri was a bit overrated. Great on the ballroom but has been pretty poor on the latin and I don't think would have won the overall competition even without the Sargeant Factor!

redhotchick Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I can't complain because I didn't vote. Apart from John, all the dancers that are left are good so whoever goes at this stage it is always a shame. I missed last weeks programme and was surprised to see that Rachel had been in the dance off! I'm glad she didn't go! Phew! I just hope John goes next week. I might even vote myself!

abwsco Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I haven't voted but John is entertaining. I thought Cheri and Rachel have been overmarked in the past few weeks and Lisa's dance last night was boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 In the next few weeks good dancers will be voted off anyway and it will be so hard as there are so many brilliant dancers. But John should have gone. I wonder what he said to James and Cheri afterwards. Out of the two ladies in the dance off, Cheri has not danced as well. In fact IMO I think the judges on more than one or two occasions have given her higher scores than she really deserved. She went completely wrong in two dances yet managed fairly high scores. Lisa gave it her all in the dance off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
