Is that the same foot that had the bad ankle? Maybe she should not have been dancing on it, sounds as if it is weakened. Not having a good year this lot are they. Hope Ali can get her foot better for Saturday.

Yes Mau I did see ITT tonight. It would be a shame if Ali can't compete this week. let's hope that it's not too serious.
It's good to see them doing different dances, Have any of you been watching the US version, Dancing with the Stars? Can't wait to see the final this Friday, I do know who won, but it will be interesting to see the show.

Don't know if it is the same foot, but it sounds really painful. I'm sure that wearing high heels must make it feel even worse.

I too hope that she is able to get a bye this week.

It seems that they are all to dance two dances on Saturday, so even more pressure on the time to train and the amount of activity required.

I feel so sorry for Ali and Brian. They are so beautiful to watch,
I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for them,

Tess

Ricky Whittle has apparently been arrested in Liverpool for "assault" - it is alleged that he hit a journalist with his car ... so don't know if he will make the live show either.

Think the Beeb should reinstate Tuffers and Ricky G as at this rate there will be no one in the final!

Apparently he is still in custody, stupid man, throwing it all away.

What is happening to the Celebs?

Ricky Whittle should know better. I hope that the journalist is not too badly injured. Although I do think that some of the Journos. sometimes overstep the mark, hitting one with a car is over-reacting.

We must remember though, that in this country people are innocent till proved guilty. I hope that Ricky is given a fair hearing and not cruxified by the press.

I wonder if any of the other dancers will be bought back, if Ricky is unable to continue.

Will watch Take Two tonight with even more interest than usual.

Watched as usual tonight and quite enjoyed seeing the two different dances. I thought they all did well consiering the pros had to learn the routine as well so were no more confident than the celebrities. I did fear for Chris tonight although I thought he dance well. However, I did think it would be Natalie&Vincent/Laila and Anton in the dance-off. Having said that even I - a complete novice - noticed that Ricky Whittle went wrong and also that his timing was out on occasion during his 'new' dance. I imagine now that the end result will be - winner Ali or Ricky W, 3rd Laila and Anton (the judges seem to like her a lot) and 4th Chris. The singers weren't my cup of tea so I nipped and make coffee while they were on although I enjoyed the River Dance routine. Did you all enjoy it tonight .... or not ?

Just watched THE BRUCE FORSYTH SHOW--I thought it was supposed to be Strictly come Dancing

I loved Ali's dance, felt sorry for Vincent and Natalie as she is right they are the same height which makes it difficult for him. I thought Laila would have been in the dance off but Natalie going out was not a surprise.

I really enjoyed the Charleston dance routines,very clever! Thought them much better than the rock'nroll dancers, who didn't keep to the beat and were very disappointing imo

I thought decision was right for Natalie & Vincent,but they will be missed (poor Vincent looked really defated didn't he?) poor comment about their height! Chris and Ola are smaller and they did well!

Still keeping to my favourites Ali & Brian :O)

I think what they wanted to say was as they are the same height, Vincent is much slighter (lighter) than Natalie and therefore lifts are difficult. But I agree the Charlestons were better than the rock and roll and good to see some humour in it.

I enjoyed the show, it got for to a wonderful start with Chris and Ola dancing the Charleston.
Very high energy and joyful, just whatI needed to brighten my day.

Notable that it was the two couples dancing the rock and roll who were (deservidly) in the dance off. They just didn't have the same sparkle as the Charlestons.

Much as I like Natalie and Vincent, I am in agreement that their time had come. Natalie has done well and should be pleased with herself. I will be picturing her hiding behind the seatee next week!
I hope that by Monday she has got over her disappointment, it is good to see her smiling and enthusiastic.

Charleston anyone?

Oh no .. I have got Cable tv and it isn't working. Just turned it on for ITT and Zilch! I've got withdrawal symptoms already.
Hopefully it is just a little glitch in the system that will soon be sorted.

Please keep your fingers crossed for me for Saturday evening.


P.S My gas central heating doesn't like the cold so it won't work.

goodness Tess you are not having a lot of luck then are you. Hope the cable will be back by the weekend. Do you know what is wrong with it?

I don't really know Ann, luckily BBC3 and BBC4 came back on at about 7.30pm.
I'm still being told to try later on other channels, so perhaps some sort of hiccup at Virgin Media.

Now I've got no excuse for not finishing "Secret Scriptures". Unless I go back to working on my (growing) tree.

Luckily I have still got some night storage heaters, so okay for heat today. Was rather cold yesterday, waiting for the Storage Heaters to start giving out heat.
I think that my radiators need to be bled. Now where did I put the bleeding key?

Hiya peeps,
well was so pleased for Chris and Ola last week they were brilliant. felt sorry for Natalie and Vincent, they didn't stand a chance when they were up against Ricky. I think that Laila and Anton will have to dance their socks off this week.

Take care and Keeeeepppppp Dancing.

My cenrtal heating is working, so is my tv, so shall be watching tonight x 2.

Although initially I thought that Laila would go tonight, I now have a sneeky feeling that it will be one of the favourites!

Mind you, my "sneeky feelings" are often wrong.

Ohhhhhhhhh Theresa how often are your sneeky feelings true? LOL.

Well after that performance I definatley think that Laila and Anton will be in the dance off.

Well that was the best celebrity samba I've seen this series. Well done Chris and Ola.
