At least Madness were good....I love em !! :-D

Very disappointed in the vote tonight. Rachel was far better than Dave. I knew it would come to this, that Dave is being kept in to the detriment of others.

Quite honestly I and a lot of others watch it for the dancing, neither Dave or Mark dance so I find it frustrating that they are kept in because a)they are the under dogs and b) people don't like some of those who can actually dance.

They are kept in because the public vote for them and want them to stay if the public want the best dancers to stay then they need to vote a bit more simple as that isnt it and Mark and Dave got more votes than Rachel and Abby, the public dont like smug and trained dancers acting as celeb dances as Denise Van Outen found out last year :-D

I think it is only Natalie who has had some training but she is a pleasure to watch. Some of the others don't have any training. I wish the judges had a bit more say in it but i don't vote so guess I had better keep quiet then.

There is no denying that Natalie can dance and she and Artim have danced some lovely rountines together but all very serious ant they? Every monday morning my friends and I at work re act the saturday show we all fight to be Natalie so easy to do ...if the judge gives a negitive comment she will slightly bow and nod her head and smile ( always a closed month no teeth showing)to accept such critisim, when the comment is positve she will act like a mill worker and mouth THANK YOU head slightly to the left and asif to say yeah I know......if she is told how wonderful the routine was she will turn to Artim slight bow and give him an over acted round of applause....he will then step back oh so every coyly and refuse to accept this in return he will offer her an over acted applause and credit ........the great and wonderful british public yawns and reaches for the phone ready to vote for Dave. :-D

As much as I like Sophie I think her last two performances have pretty poor :-(

Hayley I can't ever see Natalie being nominated for a BAFTA :-D :-D :-D

I voted for three couples this week, Dave and Mark were not among them but Abbey was!

I had a horrible feeling that Abbey would be in the dance off along with another very good dancer.

Can only be pleased that Abbey stayed. Sorry for Rachel though, it really was her best week - and who knows, she might have turned a corner and started to dance well from now on.

Dave and his Karin? both looked very sad when they realised that they were through and Rachel and Pasha were in the dance-off.
They were the only couple not to show pleasure when they knew they were through.
Just shows what decent people they are.
Didn't think that mark was much better than Dave this week - in fact I'm pretty sure that Bruno called Mark "Dave"
YEs, I know that Bruce called Darcy "Dave" I was beginning to think that it was some sort of running joke ... popping Dave's name in wherever possible.!

I might actually vote for a good dancer next week too - and/or one that I think has been under marked and should be higher on the leader board.

Looking forward to Takes Two next week - especially on Monday and Tuesday.

Hayley you comments about Natalie have made me laugh! I shall be chuckling about them today at work! :-D

Yep you are right about the voting, it is a great money spinner too! Someone has to pay for the frocks!

I think if Sophie doesn't buck her ideas up, she will be in the dance off in a few weeks too.

I do hate it when the dance off is an accomplished dancer against a dud one, there is no contest really, and a foregone conclusion.

Still, Take Two tonight will be good, and no fluffs next Saturday!

:-D :-D :-D

I watch avidly OH only half watches whilst reading the Sunday papers. Last night he said "This show is rubbish they vote off the better dancers and keep the rubbish ones. I could dance better than some of them ..... Utter cr** "

Very true in parts, but the jury is out on OHs dancing. ;-)

Not that I am one for gossip as you well know BUT I am sure you have all seen the media attention today with regards the rift between Ola and Karen, however in true media style only half the story has been told.


what the papers have said: " Ola flees rehersals in floods of tears as Karen tears in to her, Ola flew to James arms sobbing as she didnt know what prompt the outburst......hmmmm could be that Ola was slagging Karen off for not teaching Dave to dance and crowing what a wonderful dancer and hit with the ladies Ashley is and when confronted did not like Karens reply.....so here starts the hate Dave and Karen campaigne by the media :-D

Ooooh I love a bit of goss, but no, I have not read that!

To be honest, do we really know the results of the viewers vote? I am not saying it is phoney, but do they publish it any where?

Remember a few years ago, there was a surprise winner, when all along it had been someone else that was tipped to win!

Nevertheless, I shall still keep watching it on Saturdays.

:-D :-D :-D :-D

I haven't seen that either Hayley what paper was it in?

Telegraph I think for 1 Ann.

It takes two this evening Craig was back, when asked by Zoe with regards the results, he said that the judges score them and pretty much that is how the leader board looks, and I quote " the public are the ones that vote and they will always support the underdog(s) " which is more or less what I said last night :-D

Natalie has pulled out of the competition tonight. She fainted twice in rehearsals apparently!

No Brucie tonight either, but I am quite pleased about that.

:-D

Does that mean she will get a bye through to next week

Has Mark really gone bald or is it makeup

I think so GB.

Oh dear I reckon Mark will be in the dance off as little content in that performance

Kill me now.... :-( :-(
