chicken bark Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I really like Len and I usually don't mind it when he has an off show with his grumpiness but last night was too much. I agree I think there will be complaints. Len seems to have been making suggestive comments more this series and his outburst last night made me cringe for him. Does anyone know what he was doing last week when Jennifer Grey stepped in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Wasn't he judging something in America last week? Hence the comment about him being jet lagged. I agree, he was awful this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I usually like Len too - he is the voice of reason, and always finds something positive to say however terrible the dance. But last night was too much, it was totally unnecessary to be so snappy and rude to Craig and totally unhelpful to Harry and Aliona. I also thought Harry and Aliona's Argentine Tango was amazing, in fact I couldn't help wondering if there might be something going on between them...? Or maybe the dance was just that convincing!

bellekatz Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I must be the only one who didnt like Harrys dance last night. It was good, but I didnt think worthy of two 10's. I thought Holly and Brendan looked great together, better than Holly and Artem as she seemes to have a great time. Its amazing how Brendan has calmed down this year... lots of smiles at the end of the dance. Bad boy job seems to have gone to james Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I must be the only one who isn't keen on Harry?! Loving Jason, Anita's enthusiasm and warming to Holly. Russell is getting a bit predictable. The film intros in the middle of each dance are getting longer and tedious!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The intos are awful, its ok for the actors but the non actors must find it hard.... and what happened to seeing the dance progress?? Very litle of that this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I don't mind seeing a bit of mid-week training in the intros to give them time but there's no need for the cheese! It's really cringeworthy at times. Glad it's not just me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicken bark Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Another one here Chelsea. I think Jason is great, other dancers are improving which I love, Russell now seems to be playing it more for laughs which is so disappointing as he seemed to have the makings of a good dancer. I love to see the training and I'm not getting to watch ITT now so the pre dance bit is all I get to see. Why waste their time and our money on montages that are not funny and have nothing to do with anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I don't see what all the fuss over Harry is either. His Argentine Tango was good, worthy of nines but not two tens. I love the AT, it's probably my favourite dance, and each time I see one on Strictly I have to compare it with the best AT I've ever seen on there, Karen Hardy & Mark Ramprakash who scored 39. Was Harrys as good as theirs? I don't think it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Can't agree I think Harry's is sharper, more intense and skillful. We'll have to agree to disagree http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00ltkjh shame to see Audley go but it was fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching Mark again I have to say there was so much more male action in his dance than Harrys. Thats why I dont think it deserved 10's. Each to their own I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 It's interesting to compare the two - Mark and Karen definitely had some chemistry going on and it really showed in their AT (besides, Mark is HOT stuff). Harry is a lovely boy, but he doesn't have the same connection with Aliona, nor the same testosterone thing going on. Just my opinion and taste. Harry's was a very good dance but the 'emotion' and raw sexuality wasn't there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 My judgement is impaired slightly by the fact I don't rate Aliona as a professional dancer anyway. Others that have been and gone were much stronger and still missed.

Tweety Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I agree with Griffin about Aliona - and I think Len does too, he appears to be fairly non-plussed by her routines! I also agree about Mark and Karen's Argentine Tango - for me, the benchmark of that dance for the male celebs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seagazer Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 We all loved Harry's AT in this house, really intense and full of passion - didn't get it from Anita's. I'm not a prude but I'm getting so fed up with Len and Bruno making crude comments to the celebs, it's a family show. Len's outburst to Craig was awful and he should know better. Thought Chelsee was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
