Strictly Live Show - Semi-Final No.2, Saturday 11th Dec 2010

Woof Peeps, woof SCD Andrew. Due to house guests (gannets) I'll miss the start tonight as dinner is due cooked at 6pm and no TV's allowed in Kitchen or Bedrooms in this Den. But hopefully I'll be around about half six.

*leaves a tray of fishpaste sandwiches for people to help themselves and a plate of Chocolate biscuits, the mint and orange ones with the polar bear on the packet.*

Looks like Gavin, Matt and Scott are in the danger zone now. Anyway looking forward to tonight's show especially since the non dancing AW has gone.



Kara and Artem's Vienesse Watlz was almost as good as Pamela and James's last week so it looks like the girls will be safe unless they do something awful tonight. Can't wait

why is it called semi final No.2, it's the same semi final just the second half!! lol

bit pedantic.....sorry.

Good evening everyone.



Still waiting for dinner, but sausage & chips, yum.

oooh very excited for this, but double elimination tommorrow :S

Lets hope for a better night tonight

So no cleavage tonight for Tess then.

Hi everyone didn't realise it was on so early tonite - can only watch 1st half then out to works xmas party (would rather stay in !!)

Zoe's in the audience :D I miss her....

Evening Andrew Evening Strictly Cyber buddies

Lets hope Matt has a better evening tonight - fingers crossed.

Good Luck Matt

Evening all. Have company this evening, so may disappear midway! I watched last night's in horror at Matt's treatment. So will be voting like mad for him! He's fabulous!

Oh no, not Take That!!

Scott as a sailor, lush ;)

Oh Lord a half naked Artem. I can guarantee I will not be able to concentrate!

Definitely the girls are ahead at the moment.

OOH Kara looks beautiful

Are the judges trying to destroy Matt ?

I was quite disappointed with last night's show

Is the sailor's outfit designed to guarantee another 9 from Bruno?

only 9?

Scott's costume looks like one of my dance outfits. The Sailor's Hornpipe.

scarysaint I agree - I think Matt was treated very badly by the judges

He'll get a ten if he kisses him TC117

Here we go again how are you all tonight.

Thought last nights show was great but what do you think about Matt being slaughtered like that last night ? A bit harsh I thought if you look at Gavin dance and Shhhcot dance last night. At least Matt performs week in week out !

Lets see how they mark Scott tonight......

Scott and Natalie were a bit pants last night but the charlston usually gets the votes. Sorry guys but I don't like him very much anymore. :-(

very good WheelOfFortuna - he does seem to have a very biased view of him

When Scott's bad he's terrible - but we'll still give him 9's.

Nat looks brill in this dance, but I'm not sure about him.

Bit of a lacklustre start- is Scott asleep?

It seems rather slow

website really slow tonight. hope matt has recovered from his mauling. scotts outfit is awful.



Oh well will have a break when take that are on.



The judges are saying scot is inconsistant shame they don't mark accordingly

If this dance gets more than basic points I'll eat dog food. Why does he stand around like that. Wooden and disappointing. Worst charlston i've ever seen. Here we go.....

Did Scott know that was his actual performance because it looked like a run through to me?



6

Thought Scott had blow it at the start & to be honest it wasn't as good as I expected it to be after all the hype he & natalie had given it.



I rather boring 8

Evening all - lets see how many tens Scottttt gets!!! Come on Matt!!

Cute Charleston, loved it :)

average

Bit non plussed - he seemed to falg in that one.

Amazingly awful comments for Matt when they were only about the choreography - of course thats down to Aliona ! Were they trying to destroy him?

High energy??????????????????????

I dont know what Len was watching it was rubbish



6 from me but I bet he gets 9

The judges never seem to see the same dance we do.

Good charleston but not quite as much fun as others.

Classic Chaleston... What is Alesha watching.

WHAT? Len is rubbish. Alesha is rubbish. Did we watch a different dance? If he gets to the final I'll be really cross. :-(

Scott was really average there!

Husands just gone in for takeaway so I am poised sky + at the ready.... I predict final three Kara/Artem....pamela/james.....Matt/Aliona.....OOooohhhh tricky toss up between scott and Matt. Im nervous not sure if I can eat even....well maybe just one or two garlic sticks. How must they be feeling agghhhh. Best of luck everyone xoxo Pleasure reading all ur comments xo

Good evening all. Stew in the oven, smells lovely. Not the best opener from Scott. What a shame. But like Craig "I rather enjoyed it".

Fun and high energy. That's all you need obviously and we'll ignore the mistakes

So Scott has been choregraphed as if he has forgotten it. Poor flicks, but according to the judges it was only a bit bad. Wait for the scores, bet nothing less than an 8 or 9.....

What were the judges watching Scott was more wooden than a Chippendale dresser ! here come the 10's !!!!!

Matt & Kara for the final!

Absolutelu furious. It was NOT good at all but still all smiles and sweetness for golden boy Scott!!

Not a good Charleston -but bet will get high marks

FIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



8 9 9 9

Craig is right. It was a bit wishy washy. He's been eating the dictionary again. Nebulous! Get him!

OVERMARKED - not worth 9's

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Three 9s?

Fix for Scott again!

This is becomming a joke!! Three 9's - got to be kidding

Overmarked again!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wasn't going to comment on here this week, but I am strangely disappointed by Scott's charleston. too like his jive IMO. he was very stiff in places and too many mistakes for that mark.



their argentine tango was flat as well, not sure why they appear to have switched off in the last few weeks, cos I loved em early on

Earlier in the contest Scott would have been lucky to get 6 an 7's.

I thought we were supposed to be watching Strictly Come Dancing - not the X Factor

Totally overmarked - it was not worth 9's

I was gutted for Matt yesterday. They were brutal. They have often been a bit underwhelming towards him for some reason. I hope Aliona gets her finger out tonight and gives him some good choreography.



Oh and Bruce Forsyth does my head in pointing out folk are standing up. 'Look look look' Like they are stupid grr

I think the Judges really must watch something different to me!

OVERMARKED! AGAIN. Here we go again

Oh look, Scott has got 8's and 9's again!! The judges favourite Eastender who was so tired with filming has got good scores again. If Natalie had dragged him around by his neck again he would get a good score. Wobbly out of time and out of it but the favourite may go through.

Just remember guys we have the power so don't get mad get phoning!

Icky Kara next. I used to really like her but I'm getting bored with the cutesy stuff and the will they won't they stuff. Of course they are. They already have if I know my body language correctly. We'll get a perfectly good dance but not worthy of the hype methinks.

How ridiculous are the Judges tonight!! Scott stumbles through the routine and spends the majority of it standing still and yet the judges are gushing over him!!! How can we respect the views of the judges when they are too strict on others but gush over their favourites. It is making a right mockery of a show.

Why does Scott keep saying the public saved him the judges put Gavin and Ann in bottom 2, public switched Scott for Gav?

If people see overmarking they will resent the celeb- harsh but true- and vote them out!

Here we go again indeed. 9's for that lackustre performance???

I can't warm to Kara - sorry

The dress Alesha is wearing for the in-between comments wasn't worn last night and isn't being worn tonight. Last seen last week or the week before, so these are old comments!!

Utterly ridiculous. He made at least three mistakes and gets 9s and 1 8. How did that get a whole 7 points more than Matt last night? It is such blatant manipulation that I am not only not going to vote but I am not watching this nonsense any more. The BBC needs to be investigated because it is not harmless fun. Not only would Matt have to get the most votes from the public, at considerable expense, but he would have to have Pamela and Kara come bottom. Utter disgrace and the BBC should have learned this lesson after previous phone-in scandals.

Agree with Cathie - it's all about the judges 'favourites' and SC-OTTT is one such.

Be interesting to hear what the judges (and I use that term in a very loose sense) have to say about Matt when his turn comes......

Im not prude or anything but why the need for the open shirt?



To get the votes perhaps????

I'll bet my favourite jar of marmite and custard that she'll get four 10s. Finding it a bit bland though, sorry to their fans but I'm bored now.

Samba Pa Ti ooer, .... Nice music couple of wobbles here, But I expect It`ll get 10s!

Kara and Artem making love in public again... but is it a dance or a seduction?

Damn near perfect by Kara I would say

Beautiful!! Now that's worth 40.

Bit of a wobble from Kara, but she is a 'wobbly person'. Not one of their best dances, not a full standing ovation.

WOW! 10 10 10 10

do hope Craig didn't see her foot come off the floor again

Think the word dance is not descriptive of what the contestants are now doing

interesting they're showing these VT's and dancers can see them just before the dance - how distracting is that?



again ref made to Artem's injury, last week it was they want to be together - and the judges overmark them constantly and the public fall for the comments pre dance every time.



she made errors last night, and making some very odd shapes in this which aren't exactly attractive. ( they are more obvious in the VT cos of the tights shes practising in).



not sure I overly liked it, but it will score well. I'd give it 8 ......

bit wobbly in places!Kara!

Technically mastered it? Did she not see the blatant wobbles?

Oh BBC - you need some mathematicians - didn't they realize that just adding 1-5 marks for the swingathon would make NO difference to the positions - what they logically should have done was use the 1-5 marks as positions - of course Matt would then move up the leader board - but it's obvious they want him out - STOP THE BIAS - its so obvious

Alesha talking rubbish again.

Joes Satriani`s "Without you - without me"

is also a good Number..

Think I'm going to be sick now, and not from the marmite and custard overdose to come....
