Plum Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 That's why they were so hard on them both. But he really really is irritating. Loved the rest of them especially Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I missed Friday's show, but watched last night's and loved it. I think it's going to be a great year! I actually didn't mind Julien too much, but Dave Myers really made me shudder, I watched peeping out from behind a cushion I was cringing so much..... Although it was actually compulsive watching him dance so badly. I don't think I'll warm easily to Abby, I was slightly annoyed she was so good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Didn't think that last night's dances were as good as Fridays but I really enjoyed Patrick and Abby. Julian is just sooooo annoying. Is he on something do you think? Can you imagine if he was like that all the time. I don't think I could stand to be around him. I hope Vanessa is not like some of the past dancers who thought they were better than they actually were. She seemed most put out to receive some negative comments but her dancing was pretty wooden. I thought poor Deborah seemed like Robin was dragging her around the dance floor which is a shame as on the last bit of the training clip she looked pretty good.

Couperwife Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Vanessa admitted on Chris Evans radio show that she was a shocking dancer, 2 left feet and 2 left arms, I dont think she is under any illusions. Lol But I wonder how many failed due to nerves Its going to be interesting viewing in the next few months Cathy X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chickendoodle Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I think Abby Clancy will be the one this year who the judges favour but the public don't vote for. There always seems to be one who is a really good dancer but just doesn't gel with the voters. Don't know anything about her except she is married to Peter Crouch but she seems to be a bit personality challenged The judges will be lamenting later when they keep her in time after time - "this is dancing competition not a personality contest". Sorry, but it is both Dave Myers made me laugh so much but in a really good way as he was obviously enjoying himself and at the same time trying to do it right. Loved him Still think Tony Jacklin will be first out - didn't like his comment in the Radio TImes when he was asked why he was doing Strictly - he said "my agent told me I needed to increase my public profile so I should take part". Would have been better to say something like "I've always wanted to learn to dance" like everyone else said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chickendoodle Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Ok got the radio times in front of me now - question to Tony Jacklin - why are you on strictly. Answer - I joined a new agency who wanted to raise my profile. They thought it wold be a good idea and I said "why not " . He sure knows how to endear himself to the public Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Finally managed to catch both programmes on iplayer; What has Tess done to her face? She seems to have got new cheeks from the same shop as Kristina, and they make her eyes look tiny. What a shame. A couple of good dances from the newsreader (sorry, don't know many names) who was also really nice; Abby Clancy surprised me by being likeable and a good dancer, but I'm a bit worried about her inability to show emotion on her face, that might count against her in some dances. The fat biker bloke was very funny, but a hopeless dancer, reminds me of Russell Grant. Vanessa Feltz obviously enjoyed herself, but hasn't an iota of natural rhythm. Patrick was as gorgeous as I'd expected, a really nice bloke, and surprisingly good mover. Tony Jacklin is obviously disinterested, and Ben Cohen is a bit big and ungainly. Both must struggle with their deafness though. What the heck is Julien on? I'd be so tempted to slap him hard if I was his partner. Other good and bad ones, but those stood out for me.

chickencam Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Amazing show tonight, Sophie and Brendan WOW. I think Tony will go. Dave in a suit, so sweet, he really had no idea how badly he dances, bless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I only caught the last few dances, but Sophie and Brenda were very good. The Boy commented that Abby Clancy needs to eat more so she has more booty to shake around... he has a point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superkitty Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Agreed! I saw Mark in Hairspray on Saturday last..lord knows how he's managing to tour in a musical and do strictly at the same time...but he was great in hairspray and I can't help but like him on strictly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purplemaniacs Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I wish it was on at a different time, it is when I am cooking and I find it difficult to watch it. I should record it and watch it later. OH who never used to like it watches it now and tells me I am missing it Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sadietoo Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Didn't care for her sulking at all last night. Nor us...don't care how well she dances, change the attitude or leave, love.... Thought that Sophie Ellis Bexter danced very well (but don't really like her either) So many very good dancers it's going to be a tough competition.... As a lady of a certain age, I'd rather like Fiona to do well....she looks great for her age doesn't she? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 Dave Myers' Pasa Doble was the most unforgettable thing I've ever seen on Strictly. Ben Cohen's Rumba was a surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Dave was amazing I laughed all the way through but missed his score did you see who gave him what? Julien was surprisingly good! I don't want anyone to leave now, they are all good entertainment (as long as Julien keeps his mouth shut) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
