Strictly Live Show Week 2 - October 9th 2010

Is everyone ready - got your wine and popcorn

Looking forward to it especially Matt :)

Evening all.



Love tess's dress but it is a bit low key for strictly methinks.

Good evening Strictly Andrew, good evening brunoslovechild and pinkavenger.



Oooh, shiny dress Tess.

I agree with you bruce42, she looks quite dull

Evening All hope you have had a good week, great to see Claudia & ITT back on TV, so what do we think of tonights outfits? Love Alionas dress

Anton's not got much chest out - perhaps Ann wouldn't let him!!

Would be a lovely dress for a posh funeral!



Aren't Scotalie salsaing this evening, what's with the line dancing get up?

Ooh, good evening bruce42, you slipped in there (not used to this blog system yet).

Go Matt Go

Evening Flea.



How much hair dye do you think Aliona gets through in a week?

I think in all performance costumes are supposed to add, but some of this year's Latin ones are distracting. Not saying they aren't spectacular or sexy, but saying they don't all

add to the dancing.

having said that about the latin Dresses this music for matt isn't helping the Foxtrot at all

Bit too much rise & fall me thinks & felt more Tango than foxtrot but really liked it, great ending!

Great routine, Matt's concentrating face is awesome!

Liking Flavia's dress too

Dfer 7 for Matt

Foxtrot is supposed to stay in hold what was that at the end? Like it apart from last bit.

I don't think that Len will like that

"How much hair dye do you think Aliona gets through in a week?"



Buckets of the stuff Bruce, buckets.



(Love it.)

I know he was obviously thinking hard there but how fab was that? Brave Aliona letting Matt do that last move. She looked gorgeous as well.



9 from me.

8 from me

Flea 9 for Matt, swoon thud.

Boo Craig

8

really peeps 9! Youse all sure?

Might not have just been marking the dancing. The blood pressure has risen somewhat. I will have to check my Gran's health in a mo as well.

Peter next hopefully more relaxed than last week

I don't hold out much hope for peter.

I hope Peter has improved since the training footage

Yes Dfer, as with Bruce42 it might have been prompted by some blood pressure but I think that was as good as anything Darren Gough ever produced. Lovely frame, lovely arms, pointing his toes, looked like he was leading etc etc.

Hi Strictly Andrew - last year during the show there was guess the judges score during the competition for each couple, is that going to happen again this year??

Not even erin can carry off lime green!

He's watching Erin like a hawk

That'll be a NO then

OMG Dad Dancing or what??

He can't remember the routine, when he knows the steps look adequate. Dfer 4

3 from me

Well at least he was good in goal - we can't all be good at everything 5

No looked a bit lost throughout. Craig will have a field day methinks

Matt Baker :

Baker grew up on the family sheep farm and has one sister and two half sisters. As a boy, he was a Junior British gymnast and sports acrobatics champion.[2] During the late nineties Matt was one of the dancers/characters of a 1970's revival disco show called "Richard and Randy's Disco Inferno"



not exactly a novice then!!!

I thought 3 year old boy dancing. Was it me or was he turning in his left knee a bit.



3.

Very flat footed, plankish.



Ballroom much better for Peter.



3

love strictly. LOVE matt!!!!!!!!

Flea we appear to be sharing a mind.

dont know how to change username

Len and alesha score one more than Dfer as per norm

See that's where Peter is going wrong, he actually believes that he is quite good. 5's are generous.

I thought you were using your next catalogue number U.

17 at least he beat Paul Daniels' cha cha cha!

Wasn't Matt brilliant? Is Tess wearing a pair of curtains tonight?

Hopes Jarred has learned from last week

We are as one so far bruce!



:)



Oooh, Jared.



I am too old to fancy Jared.



(ashameddirtyoldwomansmiley)

Better outfit for Jared this week.

Love the mint green dress

Yep BBC S. Andrew, it suffered with the bandwidth a bit, shame all people comments couldn't get shown, still I thought the look of it was great.

Is it me or does Jared look uncomfortable in ballroom hold?



7

Very Chic from Tina Dfer 7

Did anyone spot a heel lead? I didn't nice routine though

you WAS? i iz swiss but i know how to speak

Flea I agree with you - he looks very stiff and uncomfortable



6 from me

U - go to top right hand corner - 'settings'.



:)

I have seen tickets for next week's show (16/10) and it states "strictly no jeans" in the dress code. Yet, tonight someone wearing blue jeans is sitting on the front row beside the judges. What's the use in having a dress code then?

I din't know what hat was missing but it lacked something for me. I didn't feel Jared had really worked the choreography in with the music enough. She was slightly wobbly as well. I breathed a huge sigh of relief when she relaxed and her mask cracked.



I want to give a 7 but really the lack of sparkle means I am only going to give a 6.

Wot about White Fur, is that dress code?

7

Sounds good Dfer

I think white fur is fine dfer as long as you wash out the fishpaste.

How can you give Peter 5's & Tina 6's I'm Sure she was much better than him

No Dfer it isn't, it's fur.



:D

Hope Patsy relaxes and is not as nervous tonite

" How can you give Peter 5's & Tina 6's"



Quite.

3 hours training? oh dear!

3 hours training - no chance if that's true

OOh attitude - you go girl!

Great body Patsy shame about the disco dancing

Eeek I hoping for much

better Dfer 5

Good show no dancing lots of prancing she would be good with more time practicing

oh yes

Patsy certainly more confident than last week. Thought her arms weren't brilliant out of hold though no finish to them

OOh Patsy, great start, perhaps tired towards the end.



Only three hours training?



7 for techinique, 8 for entertainment,



Er 7.

Good Job Bruno, a lot of flannel, just what she needs with Craig coming

Walks were a bit plankey but SOOO much better than last week, not quite sure the slide at the end worked as it should, but well done 7s from me

She lost it a bit towards the end. Again a bit like a little girl strutting around in her mum's heels. Needs to straighten her legs a bit and learn strut sexily and get control over her arms.



6

A lot better than last week - go girl



6

Hopsacking from len

You ARE ...did i hear that?

Fancy Patsy but not that dance

Torn between 6 and 7

on the money!

Blimey even Craig gave a 7!!

Paulllllooooooooooooh

Time to hide behind the sofa kids!

Just a quick question is Tina's partner ballroom and latin trained?

oh dear Pauls on next - I think I'll go and make a cuppa

Patsy's footwork was as diabolical as Peter's, both clumpy, should of had greater parity in scores

Come on Paul let's see some magic
