Griffin Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Mr Griffin got the hump when I said Joes trousers should've been tighter Didn't he look gaaaaaawjuss even if he wasn't a brilliant dancer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 Ali was fab tonight. Joe was pretty dire tbh. I liked Rav's dance but the judges were pretty harsh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jess1merlin Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I didn't like Alesha as a judge, she didn't seem to have anything constructive to say really. Bring back Arlene!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gem_Seb Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Ali was great! and Joe was sooo dull but i think that was more to do with the dance, most boring tango i have ever seen! i used to do ballroom and latin daincing and teach it so i loveeee this programme! OH goes up on the computer while its on!! Didnt like Alesha as a judge she just commented on how lovley the looked and if she enjoyed the dance or not!

chickencam Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I really enjoyed it tonight. I loved Chris oops forgotten his surname he is so sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I thought it was great last night. Favorites were Chris, Ali and Martina. I must admit after all the hype in the press I would have expected Joe's tango to be a bit more passionate. Have no particular views about Alesha yet, I really do like her personality but we did sit there and say, Karen or Camilla would have made more sense (not that she didn't make sense but just that they know what they're talking about ). My OH would love everyone to keep voting for Chris Hollins so that Ola can stay in the competition longer Looking forward to tonight.

Griffin Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 My whole day is revolving around being back home tonight in time for Strictly We're off to visit my parents in MK but coming back early, collecting two Brahma girls on the way so we'll be back and settled ready for round 2 Surely Joe can't be as bad tonight?

redfrock Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I like Alesha per se but as a Strictly Judge? Unfortunately I felt her comments were really quite shallow and insubstantial .... highlighted by the constructive technical criticism made by the other Judges. I also felt she hadn't quite found her own personality and on occasion tried to imitate the other Judges' styles .... even Arleen, when she clicked her fingers and said 'One word .... Fierce!'. It is a real shame - I think Arleen (Sp?) is a great loss to the show. When Alesha did make technical comments it really felt like she didn't really know what she was talking about. I watched it with my best friend and both of us said she could actually put us off watching ... however the draw of Matthew Cutler's hips is simply too great, and as for Rav's chest .... **swoon** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Afraid I agree, Alesha is a bit disappointing, it's clear she can't comment on the technical issues like the other judges can and just saying 'it was lovely' is a bit pointless. Too early to tell really - Lynda Bellingham wasn't great, but very entertaining - Martina's clearly a natural. They all looked so nervous, no wonder. I was all set to watch last night - Marmite cashew nuts, gin - when I got a distress call from a friend who'd developed food poisoning and couldn't face a lengthy Tube journey. Luckily I hadn't started on the gin, as I had to go and pick her up, I had to watch it later and fast-forward through quite a lot of it.

cathybc Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I love Rav it was tough for him to go first so I am sure he will improve. Think Chris was OK but overrated. And sorry Aleesha - I had had my doubts, then someone had posted that she may be good as she could relate to the contestants. So I tried to have an open mind - but no. Patronising and added no value. I had thought she as trying to be Tyra Banks of ANTM with the 'fierce' bit! Going out tonight so hope it is repeated tomorrow, got to try and see X-factor and Casualty too....

chickencam Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 It was a real shame for Martina to go. Joe was awful Chris Hollins is great, I loved the comment from one of the judges that he looked a bit like a dancing Hobbit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 It was great again last night apart from the result. Joe should have gone and should have been in the dance off with either Lynda or Rav. Poor Martina I thought she'd danced well. Jade gave it her all and performed really well but I have a feeling things are not right with her and Ian. She's all over him but he seems a bit 'off' with her. Anyone else notice? Chris was brilliant again as was Ali, who looks like a rabbit caught in the headlights. She seems so timid. My favorite dress of the two days was Ola's tango dress from Friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadietoo Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Totally agree with everyone's comments about Aleesha she is a waste of space..they should never have got rid of Arlene....but I am surmising correctly that she will be replaced by Darcey Bussell for the last three or four weeks? Joe should have gone no doubt about it..although I did agree that Rav was much better than Martina in the dance off...I suppose she ended up there because she just doesn't have enough support in the UK...also I think its very unfair that they are getting rid of a couple before the others have danced....who's to say that they won't be worse and more deserving of being sent off???

Couperwife Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 oh no, I missed it last night I agree, aleeshas "it was lovely" was neither use nor ornament for judging I cant believe Martina has gone , she was really good, there were loads that were poor (Joe Calzaghe for one) - but im not a dancer, so what do I know. oh, what a shame, I must watch next week or ill not know what is happening at all cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I thought it was really unfair that anybody was voted out last night, when half of the competitors haven't even danced yet! Felt sorry for Martina- think she came a cropper because she's not such a 'likeable' character. Joe was soooo wooden! Missing Arlene too... Alesha's comments seem completely pointless!
