Strictly Live Show Week 8 - 20th November 2010

Evening all. Looking forward to seeeing the dancers on the big blackpool dancefloor. Also hoping for extra bling tonight.

Evening Andrew - am I first in?

Looking forward to the dancing..

Evening Andrew

Evening all - really looking to tonight can't wait to see Matt and Aliona,

I remember years ago dancing on Tower ballroom floor with my dad it felt great.

Hi everyone - I have to go out halfway through the show tonight so I am trying to resist the urge to watch half now or leave the whole thing to enjoy when I get back in!



My main hope for tonight will be that the Blackpool crowd are more discerning regarding A2 than the regular audience and give it the reception it deserves (however it goes - it could surprise us all and be brilliant.......) rather than the hideously overblown rapture that it gets normally...

Me too BLC. I thought the sneak peak photo of them looked quite exciting.

Oh I hope this is the week the voters see sense & AW goes! I can't bear to see another decent dancer be sacrificed to keep in the twirling sack of potatoes!

*waves paws* Got house guess, four of them are teenagers. This weekend is like living in a bebo page *sigh*



*passes round some fishpaste sandwiches*



Anyways just off to get coffee and a bar of that new galaxy chocolate with orange and shortcake bits in.

evening folks! I'm ready to go, got my sequin slippers, huge diamonte earrings (especially for dfer) and a king size bucket of pic n mix. Dive in!

hello! i'm new to this forum. looking forward to the utter silliness and sequins that we know and love as strictly!!

Lets see if the judges will actually judge this week. I'm getting bored of the farsical pantomime that goes on every week. Bruce let them speak, and lets have some fair and consistant scoring. Craig is the only one doing it right!

I am so looking forward to the show. I want Patsy to win. My big bag of crisps at the ready! Enjoy everyone.

fish custard! has Dfer's dreams just come true???

Hello everyone. Can't wait for tonight. Spent my dance lesson discussing it with fellow strictly fans.

evening fish custard. great name but no offense, feeling a bit sick :)

Evening all.



[Deep knee bend.]

Off we go. I'm so excited!

hello dfer! sorry but it's just a silly combo of random non associated words. but hey, if it makes you happy :-)

Not sure about your food combos there dfer. fish and chocolate not the obvious choice.

When Flea bends knees it usually leads to a huge jump.



oh drat the show is themed :(

Loving the show dance going on right now.

blackpool vs las vegas? hmmmmmmmm let me think about that

sorry daddyorchips but it just seemed like the winning combo to me :-)



oh wow! elvis, vegas and nearly there frocks. phew! good job i'm sat down.

Evening Play mates hope you have all had a good weekend. Very excited Blackpool & already loving the opening routine.

Evening all. Anyone for chips and gravy? Some left in t'pan.



Let's see how my girl Patsy gets on tonight! Something tells me it could be epic.

Kristina looks a-may-azing

Never sure why in those routine some of the girls have matching dresses and others don't.

WOOP, WOOP BLACKPOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love Blackpool, as a northerner, Blackpool tops it in this country, never mind Brighton for the seaside, its all happening in Blackpool!!



Love the Las Vegas dancing from the pros, why is it when you hear last Vegas you hear ELvis!? lol! Love Elvis too



Cant wait for the dancing now!!!!!

mmmm! lovin the jumpsuit tess. at least it covers her knees ;-)

tess gets earring award. can't possibly be beaten!

If this is Las Vegas should Brucie be dressed as a roman centurion and Tess in feathers?

Not sure about Tess's outfit. It's a bit too Charlie's Angels.

Is it me or is it echoing tonight?

You cant beat a bit of chips and gravy Wheel of Fortuna! that dish is a legend up here! yum! yum!



anyway back to the dancing!

ooops i was wrong!

ooh! Chips n gravy - love em.



some quick changing going on there!

More swimwear for the latin dances

OMG what is Anton wearing?

Ooooh Katya looking good!

omg! i can't breathe with all the feathers and sequins

thank god someone else thought of Charlie's Angels! Showing our age bruce 42!

Early bid for earring award by Tess

Good lord, what is Anton wearing?



Felicity's dress looks lovely.

Anne looked absolutely petrified when she was introduced and she came onto the dancefloor

Spot the canaries!



Loving Felicity's dress.



Not sure about Patsy's.

WheelOfFortuna would love some just had salad and jacket potato :(



what have Anton and Ann got on - they look like bananas

Looks like Antons going for the comic vote tonight. What is he wearing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder how many canaries were sacrificed for the hem of that dress? It so wasn't worth it.

Kara tried but Natalie seems to have won earring award before we start!

Evening peeps. I came prepared this week with some grub

Oooh Bruno you are so VIRTUOUS!



Sure I can't tempt you?

anton's trousers would look wow with my slippers

Ahhh! Evil canaries of doom!

I wasn't there daddyorchips but Farah Fawcett just sprang into my head.

Go Ann and Anton give us a performance to match all the others. Looking forward to a good night all round.

Did I hear somewhere that Felicity has a black eye, good make-up job if she has.

ooooh my girl's up first! fingers, toes and eyes crossed.

i love patsy. we're the same age and i've followed her career since eighth wonder. you go girl!!

This is for Fish-custard (post 40)

just out of curiosity, are you a doctor who fan , with the name fish custard?

best song in the world :) :)

Patsy seems to be clumpy in this dance.

Go patsy !!!!!!!!!

Her name was Pasty, she had no rhytmn. She would cha cha all stompy, but she went a bit too far.



Dfer 6

What has happened to the sound tonight...sounds like they are in a goldfish bowl and the camera angles are all over the place!!!!

i agree fi. not much bounce

Get rid of those black shoes patsy!



Started well but lost it a bit in the middle I think. I still feel that Patsy needs to pick her feet up more. But I think it is her best to date.



8

Oh dear. Well, it wasn't Jo Wood bad but it was pretty clumpy

half an hour to get the blog page to load, 15 mins to actually log in and all I can see/hear is Brucie blustering and flustering, Can we not put him out to pasture? he is so far past his sell by date. and he means we don't get to hear the judges comments cos we're running late, cut his pointless waffle and let us hear the judges.

wish i had her figure. patsy the showgirl! loving the frock too. oh blimey, what's not to like? not as fluid as kara, granted, but striking a blow for women in their 40s. love you girl!!

Cant beat a bit of botofogo

dodgey shimmies to start, but good momentum all the way thru.

Well done Patsy

I wonder how different the Blackpool floor feels underfoot?



Chang of venue, scary etc.



7

Still behind the music, still showing the nerves in her face, c'mon Patsy, too late for all that now

The Tower ballroom looks amazing.



Love the muscles joke for Bruno! a pet name for Gavin, that was actually funny!

Its the standing ovation audience again XD



I think the black eye was a few weeks ago.



That was ok.

CaptainMouse, Bruce is a national treasure. I will love him forever.

Sorry Patsy - not as good as I expected



6 from me

Bit awkward but I still loved it

dizzydanceshoes - i am indeed a doctor who fan. are you mystic meg in disguise???

They're off. Two standing ovations already. But only one side? Perhaps the crowd on the other side are harder to please?

Didn't like it peeps. Patsy may be a luvvely woman, but she ain't a dancer even after these last few months

don't boo craig! he's a bit tough but accurate

I remember the doctor mentioning fish custard in one episode last series.

Look like we are all going to be a consistent in our scoring as the judges are tonight.

please make this a dance contest and get rid of anne tonite

Not bad for first dance although quite surprised that Ann wasn't on first - she said sarcastically!

yep craig 6 like Dfer

Let's wait for people to have danced before we call for them to go!

I dont know what Aleysha saw it wasnt worth an 8

Yeah hopefully she'll live to fight another week on that. I think Ann's fans last week wanted to get her to Blackpool.



Love Patsy!

What is the betting that Ann is one of the last again?

Oooooh ARTEM! *faints*

Kara looks very nervous.

yea kara! love this girl (in a dnace way of course)

Yes Fi I bet she is one of the last to dance !!

Fish custard - I thought so, when i saw the name i thought this person must be a doctor who fan, a non- DW fan might have read my comment and thought what are they on about! lol! Fellow Doctor who fan here as well!



anyway back to the dancing!

A pair of big blue danglers on Kara

Whats the betting on Ann and Anton will dancing last or next to last again this week.

Tell her to blow her nose Dfer.

Is SCD sponsered by Kleenex? All the tears!

no wonder she looks nervous!
