This looks better than the version that came out at the time - I think others should read this and give Karen a break .

I am quite enjoying Strictly this year but, as usual, there are the complete beginners and the professionals... all in the celeb camp.
Danny isn't a beginner.

Ashley Roberts. A beginner?
The Pussycat Dolls were a professional dance troupe.
She was a COACH on Dancing On Ice

Why is she allowed to be contestant in this competition?

I agree that there are too many professional dancers this year. Danny has been in West End shows. Too many headstands.

I do enjoy Ashley and Faye, but they have had training too. So dunno who will win this year.

As far as I am aware...……...Kate, Katie, Dr Ranj, Sean and Joe are complete non-dancers.

Sean could have gone first week - he is still not taking anything seriously to do with dancing or judges remarks - He had his card marked on the first show.

I heard Danny had worked with Bruno but no official training for the dances

I think Ashley is a little over the top - but i like her and warming to Stacey now she is a lot quieter. I still have a soft spot for Charles and Dr Ranj is very cute.

I just can not take to Danny or Faye , I am just not feeling it so I do agree with the judges about it not being believable. Love Kate but the samba was not for her.

I do like Ashley and Vick is growing on me , can not help but love Dr Raj and Charles, AJ and Lauren are nice as is Graham and Oti but are forgettable. I am going to have a fiver on Stacy and Kevin to lift that glitter ball.

Faye is on Takes Two. I know she has had some dancing experience, but she always seems very pleasant.

I think it may be Ashley this year, she does not seem to put a foot wrong (no pun intended).

Loved seeing Vincent on Take Two this week, I do miss him and Flavia.

Counting down to tonight's show.

Please don't let Kevin and Stacey do that kick when they are waiting at the bottom of the stairs. It drives me crackers. :-D

Can anyone tell me who was bottom of the leader board please, I blinked and missed it

Don't take it as gospel but I THINK it was Lauren and AJ.

Wasn't Charles and Karen fab-u-lous?

Yes they were. I think Lauren was third to bottom, Vicky second to bottom just couldn’t catch who was lowest.

Sorry Ann, I was so taken with Charles and Karen, I was nattering at the time. :-D

I don't know who will be knocked out this week. Some fabulous dances, but in my opinion, one or two of the celebs are getting a bit over confident.

Just googled it, cos it was annoying me not to know!

Vick the DJ was last in the ratings.

That's it, I can got to bed now, without waking up at 2am shouting the answer. :-D :-D

ah thanks I thought there was somebody below her, she really was not very good last night.

I am siding with Craig and sitting on the fence.

I am not sure about the "Dancers Choice"

I thought AJ & Lauren's dance was clever, but I didn't like it - it was more gymnastics.

I liked Charles and Karen's one it was very entertaining.and kept me awake.and i would have been happy to watch it again, like Danny's Jive.

I would have chucked out Sean on the first night.

Really looking forward to Halloween special.

I actually thought the judges made the right choice last night, Sean (however it is spelt), was the better of the two in my opinion, Vick wasn't good, by her own admission. I think it is time the papers stopped mentioning the problem with sean and THAT kiss. It is showbiz, it is dancing together for hours on end, it happens, they were just seen.

But he won't go on much longer, he is not good enough. Although I am sure he works hard.

I agree with you AnnG about Sean.....difficult for the men as they have to lead.

I didn't see all the dances on Saturday but I did see Charles and I was soooo pleased he got some good comments and marks for a change. :-D

I like Kate not so much for her dancing but she just seems such a genuine and likeable person :-D

I know it's been said earlier on the Thread but I do think it's a shame that they have contestants that have obviously had dance experience as it doesn't really give the newbies much of a chance of winning even though they are making great strides and in my opinion the greater improvement:-(

I also think they made the right decision. I think Vick is a lovely girl, and she really put her heart and soul into it, but there was something missing.

I am bored witless with the Kiss parlarva. I wish they would give it a rest. Really it is none of our business. It seems another dancer has got 'close' to her partner, but none of the endless pages about that.

I don't watch it for the tittle-tattle, I watch it for the dancing. And yes, too many have dancing experience, and I root for the ones who have not. I agree, Kate seems lovely.

I am not bothered who kissed who or why - I just dont like Sean he dons't seem to take anything seriously (well there was one dance i liked) Which I think was the 2nd week .

I agree the judges got the right couple again - goodness who this week, as they have all improved.

So far the people votes have gone with the judges for a change and match the score boards.

I don't like Seann either, he doesn't seem to give it his all and his performances tend to look a tad untidy to me and his face looks as if he thinks he is better than he is. All apart from the magnificent Pasa Doble which was really good. The fuss over the kiss was nonsense in the circumstances, it was the drinking a bit too much that was the problem. Showbiz is always touchy feely with lots of kissing and hugging anyway.

Charles's jive was so good it was hard to see who was the professional. Although he has previous dancing experience, what a performance especially at his age! :-)

I thought they all did very well. Danny's jive was very good, and still keep watching Charle's street dance.

I just cant think who will be booted out this week, but possibly one of the non-dancers. That is to say the ones who have not had previous experience. Maybe Seann, Graham or Lauren.

I think it also depends on how popular they are on tv with the scoring by the general public. It would be good to know what the actual figures are. Don't suppose they will ever be published.
