September 29, 20195 yr Author I'm just going to call it now: Will and Janette will be in it until the end. He reminds me a bit of Ore Oduba in that I think he's gonna grow as the series progresses. Love that Anneka and Kevin are still in, her waltz was lovely and I love her boundless enthusiasm. Not surprised James went, he was terrible!
September 29, 20195 yr personal scores week 2: 8 | Michelle & Giovanni 8 | Karim & Amy 7 | Kelvin & Oti 7 | Saffron & AJ 7 | Dev & Dianne 7 | Emma B. & Anton 6 | Chris & Karen 6 | Emma W. & Aljaz 6 | Catherine & Johannes 6 | Will & Janette 6 | Alex & Neil 5 | Anneka & Kevin 5 | Mike & Katya 3 | James & Luba The only thing I didn’t really like about Kelvin’s dance was that it was so slow, but it fits the style and he pulled it off well. Michelle blew me away and Karim’s dance was also outstanding. I’m gonna be in the minority and say that Saffron was the one who surprised me this week. I thought she’d be much worse in the coming weeks but she’s holding her own. Emma B. was also a nice surprise given Anton ramped up the difficulty, I just want her to get out of her head bc she handled the increased difficulty well! A lot of the 5’s/6’s were decent/good but forgettable, the exception being Mike. Everything else was a big pile of dookie but props to Katya for the challenging lifts.
September 29, 20195 yr James Cracknell's jive is the worst jive I've EVER seen :drama: https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/10030...cracknell-rant/ He apparently had a meltdown backstage after he was eliminated
September 30, 20195 yr “The insider said James had thought Michelle Visage, 51, would be the first to go but “it felt to him like producers were promoting her and giving her a lot of air time”. Why would he think Michelle would go first! Even if she was in the dance off (which mathematically would require the public score to be reverse of the judges for that to happen) who would she get sent home over. I think it’s exaggerated or made up. But James is probably used to be pretty good at everything he does and he sees himself as a leader and someone who likes to tell others what to do, how to improve etc that’s what I get off seeing him on other shows. With it being the other way round on this and it being him getting criticism it’s something he doesn’t take well. I think it’s better for him to go now. He didn’t seem to be enjoying it very much.
September 30, 20195 yr I mean SURELY he knew he was absolutely terrible?! What a spoilt brat :lol: Sounds like he's used to doing well and can't stand that not being the case. Screaming at him saying Michelle gets "a lot of airtime" - EVERY contestants gets their VT and their dance.
September 30, 20195 yr I'm just going to call it now: Will and Janette will be in it until the end. He reminds me a bit of Ore Oduba in that I think he's gonna grow as the series progresses. Yup, totally agree Edited September 30, 20195 yr by Jαsє

October 1, 20195 yr oof I have to see a second rumba to Shallow after James van der Beek set the bar high
October 2, 20195 yr https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/reality-tv/a2...rwood-comments/ His Paso was horrendous tho :mellow:
October 5, 20195 yr Yessss at Catherine finally getting her breakthrough dance. The power of Gaga. Some questionable choices tonight :lol: like the paso to Pokemon lol and a Charleston to Kill Bill. Karim looked fuming that people overtook him as well and he was middle of the board this time. warning spoiler contains result of dance off / who’s out Anneka is out apparently with David being in the dance off again.
October 6, 20195 yr Bowled over by Catherine's Rumba!! For a Rumba this early in the competition that was brilliant and it shows she could really be the Stacey of this series! Statistically I think the Rumba is one of the absolute hardest to do, it's got so much technique and with such a slow dance with that much technique, there's nowhere to hide as well so for someone who struggled the first couple of weeks, that was a real breakthrough, honestly I think she should have had a 9 or two chucked in but that might just be that I was so shook given where she was for the first two weeks compared to that. On the other end of the scale, definitely a step down for Karim. I think he was lucky it was Movie Week and it was fun and entertaining otherwise his score probably would have been even lower. The way that he attacks dances usually and his tricks go well with some dances but a samba just wasn't the one for that. Michelle and Kelvin were my fave this week though, the latter with the highest week 3 score ever :o I think 10s were a little bit OTT for him but that was a bloody brilliant Charleston. It's absolutely mad to think he wasn't even originally cast for this series!! Dev was also great, the couples choice is often great and it really really fit him so he came alive. This series is so strong!
October 6, 20195 yr Yes! Catherine does give Stacey vibes. I think from week 3 or 4 Stacey just suddenly really improved after being in the middle in the first two weeks. Catherine struggled a lot last week so to get 32 this week was a big improvement I definitely think she’s a real contender for the overall win. She’s personable enough that doesn’t come across as cocky, she’s already known to the public so she isn’t one of the ones who people will say who’s she at and I feel like having a hard time at the start goes a long way. Before they even danced she was who I would’ve put a bet on to win I feel I might actually do this now! I also feel Alex might have her real moment too and get like a 8 or 9 point improvement in score. She’s just always at the cusp of showing it but reigns it in slightly. With Kelvins week one dance being THAT good and now getting 10s already just where does he go. If he gets 38 or more now every week until the final it just lacks a journey as great as he is. Like some people don’t even get 38 in the actual final!! Where does he go from here getting that in week three and what’s the chances of him always maintaining that streak?! Kinda wish they’d saved the tens for later on he’s really sort of set himself up how as being the one to beat and it’s gonna bring so much pressure. He’s one of those contestants who I can’t deny the talent but I don’t really enjoy the ones who are always good I love seeing progression.
October 6, 20195 yr Omg I was also absolutely dying at Anneka's Charleston, what on earth was that :rofl: That was surely the worst Charleston the show has ever seen bless her
October 6, 20195 yr I didn’t hear what Aneka’s dance was and said to my husband what is she doing surely that’s not a Charleston is it? P :lol: :lol: :lol:
October 6, 20195 yr Last week we had the worst ever Jive...this week we had the worst ever Charleston :drama:
October 6, 20195 yr Anneka seemed like she wanted to go tbh as did James last week. I do feel for David though two dance offs in a row now I hope he gets a break next week as he is actually trying but it’s probably likely he’ll actually be out next week tbh. Catherine also appeared to Confirm a Charleston for her next week to Single Ladies. Edited October 6, 20195 yr by Jordan Lee
October 6, 20195 yr Author Sad as I am to see Anneka go - she's one of my favourites and I'd genuinely like to be friends with her in real life - that Charleston was a shambles. Kill Bill isn't a natural partner with a traditionally upbeat and smiley dance number. As Miranda Hart once said on It Takes Two - 'What next - a Charleston to Eminem?' I mean really. I hope the Beeb see sense and bring back Challenge Anneka for another run now off the back of this. Mike Bushell is very lucky the focus was on other couples and not him this week because he is by far the most hopeless dancer there this series. Sadly I think he'll be the Balls/Sergeant quotient this year. Will and Janette's Poke Doble was aces, full credit to the makeup and costume team on that and Dave Arch and the singers for actually nailing the theme tune. I still stand by them as my favourites now Anneka and Kevin are out, he has such a love of dance and potential to grow now. Kelvin and Oti were good but he's nothing more than Danny Mac runner up material again, there's no journey with 10s this early on. Edited October 6, 20195 yr by ThePensmith
October 7, 20195 yr Anneka seemed like she wanted to go tbh as did James last week. I do feel for David though two dance offs in a row now I hope he gets a break next week as he is actually trying but it’s probably likely he’ll actually be out next week tbh. Catherine also appeared to Confirm a Charleston for her next week to Single Ladies. That's an odd song for a Charleston but I'm here for it! Michelle is doing a Salsa and Saffron has Couples' Choice.
October 7, 20195 yr the majority of catherine’s dance was pretty good but YOU DON’T DO LIFTS IN A RUMBA
