Evening all
I'm routing for Alex, Harry & Chelsee - either could win & I'd be happy!

I bring chocolates to the table tonight in the form of chocolate orange segments.

Evening all. Mmm, Stilton.

Evening....I've got a curry on the way

Evening everyone. Hope Harry and Alex have a good night. I have a sweet tooth so an orange segment (or two) please twinklestar18.

I've had me pie & mash ! I might see if I can find some florentines..... Who's for the chop ??

Good luck to Chelsee and Pasha tonight !!

The teddy on the couch is ready, complete with his 3D spactacles. What does he know? We are expecting good performances from Harry and Chelsee and maybe Alex and Holly will surprise us. So, we're ready lets start the show.

Good luck Holly and Artem... you did not deserve to be in the bottom 2 last week. Passion and Fire tonight and hopefully you can win the public over. You deserve it!

Looking forward to Chelsee's jive....Robbie out please

Hi everyone. I've managed to get both internet and a tv to watch Strictly while on holiday!

I've got Apple, Blackcurrent and Custard strudel if anyone wants some.

Nope ! Couldn't find florentines... can anyone tell me if fresh cream cakes (Only 4 of em) are fattening ? lol

thanks Fi I like the sound of your nibbles...I'm passing round the mulled wine.

good luck to all couples, and come on Harry

Ooooh Fi that sounds great could I please have some - do you fancy some stilton?

Glad you managed to get online

Hey Jeff, only if you believe they are!

What have the guys got on their feet?

Craig makes the programme- what a great baddy!!!

Brilliant opening to the show.

I hate this 3 minutes rule about posting comments !!!!!

Tess looking classy for a change. Quite enjoyed the opener.

Help yourself Kicks.

Bonus on a TV Fi, well done you.

Final at Blackpool! That will be brilliant, it might even make up for the horror that was Wembley.

Jeff - anything you eat or drink whilst watching strictly has NO calories

cmon robbie, do it for speedie. x

Robbie first again...Harry looks hot, love the costumes, even Pasha!

OMG why o why have they dressed the gorgeous Pasha as SHREK!!!! Strictly you have gone too far with this. Its bad enough that Chelsee got the Shrek movie!!

Ye gods, where is Robbie's timing tonight? Wait, that's better, it was just the opening segment.

Not too bad an effort, Robbie ruins the effect by smiling and the skinny trousers were a bit off putting.

Evening peeps, wonder what will happen tonight.

I thought that Robbie and Ola were meant to be the Blues Brothers not Reservoir Dogs

8 from me

Too much walking around for me I'm afraid, should've taken a leaf out of Harry's book last night & just danced the whole thing.

Robbies outfit awful, film in training awful, quickstep very mediocre for this stage in the competition. Shame, feel sorry for him

Robby, there is jumping, there is walking, there is running and sometimes there is some dancing. But overall it was very moderate. The teddy on the couch gives 6

Those trousers are not flattering. A bit chasing around the floor. I think the evenings dancing can only get better.

I thought it would have been Men in Black as they didn't have the Blues Brothers hats.

I think Robbie or Holly goes tonight.

I meant last week, not last night!

Absolutely love the show but HATE the silly whooping and screaming, it's just not necessary - really spoils the viewing for me

Craig is right, don't start Len with those silly looks, you'll be out next

At least Robbie kept his strides on, a pity Ola didn't get hers off !

Bratties and gingerbread for me . . . .

Robbie and Ola off to a good start - 7 from me

Hi Everyone - Tinasparkles here from Sydney Australia - haven't been around much this year as our Nat got knocked out early so am now supporting Pasha and this is the only way I can get to read any of the action .... so lots of descriptions pelase. I can offer tea and toast as it's 6.20 am here..

Rumba was ok 9 for me!!

I think that was beautifully danced, me gives it a 9.

Some ugly hip movements at the start but apart from that quite good for a male sleb rhumba.

8

Beautiful dance this week for Harry.

10 for me.

Harry, there was nearly no content but it was clean . For us it lacked much rumba. The teddy on the couch gives 7

9 from me

Good rumba. A 9 would be fair. Well done Harry. Definitely not an easy dance for a man.

So I missed Pasha? what was their score please? I can share some mangos too

After watching every show since the very start of Strictly, I have just switched over to Channel 4 half way through the Robbie/Ola QS. You have lost me forever for these reasons:

1: Audience clapping along and whopping. Why has this started? It totally ruins the experience for the viewer. Tell them to shut up
2. Camera angle showing the upper body only. I want to see the feet of the dancers throughout the dances. This has been happening more and more and I am sick of it
3. Camera swirling around and around on the dancefloor which makes me feel like I am on a rollercoaster.

Totally PEED OFF and not watching any more after the dreadful series. That awful yank woman from Dirty Dancing, horrible show from Wembley and now these points.

Harrys rumba didn't do it for me - 8

Hi Tinasparkles, good to hear from you again and nice of you to join us at such an early hour. Might just pinch a piece of toast if that's alright, not had tea yet. It's damn cold here, how is weather down under, am passing Thornton's chocolates round and some mini mince pies if anyone wishes to partake.

Has Dfer got caught up in some football somewhere.

Pretty woman seems an odd choice for a AS.

Go James

Go Alex

My fave movie

Teresa du Feu I totally agree with you too much shouting and screaming

This isn't a criticism... I have yet to see a dance tonight I have really Liked. They have been ok, but nothing to rave about.... C'mon Alex & James !

just got in can someone please give us a quick up dates on scores gone
cheers

Hi all, a bit late,just having a domestic over who cooks tea!been watching though, tess looks lovely, robbie did his best and Harry is fab,getting a bit fed up of extended lead ups to the dance.

Hi Tango now mince pies for brekkie sounds good - its a nice 24C here in Sydney and that's good for this time of the morning

Love this song...Roy Orbitson. But this song is a Cha Cha song not for an American smooth. Alex is dancing pretty well actually so it worked. 7 from me =)

OK, I was dubious about doing an American Smooth to Pretty Woman, but they're making it work.

Didn't set the world on fire for me

I feel as if something was missing from that dance, they danced it well but mmmm. When she comes out of lift her feet are terrible ugly and misplaced and I still think at times James pulls her round a bit. 8 max.

No you haven't missed Pasha Tina.

Alex looked like she was leaning too far forward in places. Lost timing a bit.

7

Alex, major problem with centering whilst turning. And there were lots. It was the same standard as last week. The teddy on the couch gives 7

That was much more fluid from Alex. Little fluff but very good. Good Dance. Well done Alex.

good dance by Alex and James

James, fluttering your eyelashes is not pretty :-)

Thanks Bruce - we think he is a real cutie here and when he was dancing Comps I used to watch him a lot. So now you have 3 or is it 4 Ozzies in the show this year? Nat has to still be my favourite tho

Haha....my friend called her car Zorro because it was black. Aww Zorro now deceased it was taken to the car pound.

Tina, this year there are 3 from Australia. Natalie, Holly and Jason.

Still holding back hol!

Fi and Pasha!!!!

This Paso is fantastic, I feel like Im watching the movie. However there needs to be more stamp in her stacatos. 9 for me....best dance Holly has done IMO

Agreed, Annie. That was a bit nice.

I love Artem, but there was too much showiness and not enough dance steps for me. Also she is a lovely girl, but Holly has about as much passion as an iceberg, for me a 8 max.

Holly is so frustrating - you think she had finally has some passion and then she goes a bit insipid then she gets it back then loses it again. Much better though (quite strictly ballroom methinks).

8

Holly still looking down. Quite a lot of passion there though. An improvement from Holly, felt she was much more engaged with the dance.

Holly, The teddy on the couch thinks she looks nice in 3D.mmm. For Holly's standard a very nice paso. It could have more power and moor fire but for Holly this really was good. The teddy on the couch gives 8

wow - fab dance from Holly - if she gets in bottom 2 again will be a travesty

What the ****!

Kees, you watching this in 3D? I'm watching in analogue, but Alesha, Bruno, what are you doing? That was NOT a 10!

Did Len like Holly's Paso and how are the judges comments going? I only have your commentary and can't see a thing from Oz!

Tina Pasha is Russian not Aussie! Nice try in claiming him there.

I get the impression that the judges do not see the same dances as us.

Jason now dancing to singing in the rain.

Agree it was her best dance so far, will it be enough to keep her out the bottom two though?

that was GREAT Holly! well done.
first live show for three weeks- can't fast forward!!!!!!1

Huh. Maybe the judges are doing some tactical voting to push Robbie into the bottom two? Holly's routine was decent, but it wasn't a 10.

But Pasha lives here inn Sydney - Bruce

It's skippy!

Right everyone is making a big deal of the Gene Kelly classic 'Singing in the rain' Christine Blakey used this before 3 yrs ago. Yes they could have used 'Raindrops keep falling on my head" instead. Strictly stop recycling songs!!

Rant over was this a solo piece. Sorry Jason solo part could have been a bit lighter on the feet.

9 from me.

Too much faffing about at the beginning not enough dancing

The main body of the dance was excellent but the faffing at the top was not as crisp as it could have been.

9

Jason and Chistina-what a wonderful routine!

Khristina looks Monroesque delish. Good of her to let Jason dance the intro solo.

Dear Fi, The teddy on the couch looks in 3D since he has 3D spectacles on his nose. W e know better and look in old fashined 2D to a tube.
Now, lets see Jason, well we do not know what to make of it. It was not sparkeling but it was not bad either. It did not wow us The teddy on the couch gives 8

I loved that, it could not have been better, me feels a lot of tens coming....

Lovely lift. It was good but I just didn't feel was properly joined up, Guess its me but I wasn't overwhelmed with that.
