Re: Strictly 2014

I meant to mention Sunetra last week - such a lovely lady and she can dance
Enjoyed the show very much

Re: Strictly 2014

It was sad to see Jennifer leave, she is such a lovely lady but with the best will in the world, you would not say that she is a dancer.

I was surprised to see Simon in the dance off, he could do with relaxing a bit but not dance off material yet.

Re: Strictly 2014

I agree Jennifer is a lovely lady and I would say not the one who should have gone, she is not a natural dancer but she wasn't the worst.
Simon is having a lot of negative publicity about his split with his most recent girlfriend and also rumours about him and Kristina etc. I don't think he's so popular at the moment.
I suppose it shows that it's not really about the dancing in the early stages, it's more about popularity.
There are about 3 potential winners already I think !!

Re: Strictly 2014

Such a good show last night and so many good dancers - but - so upset with the judges as although Judy has been quite awful in the dancing, she really 'did try' last night and I was so happy to see that, only for her to get slaughtered by the judges ! Absolutely no credit or encouragement given to her - I was fuming to see and hear their childish critiques

Re: Strictly 2014

I've not watched it yet ... got my own Strictly event in Southport this afternoon .... I'm only dancing (with 500 others) ... not competing

Re: Strictly 2014

Smashing !

Re: Strictly 2014

Enjoyed last nights but I don't think they are giving credit when the worst dancers try and when they improve. To me the show is about people improving and the ones who can clearly dance before the shows start don't seem to try as hard.

Scot is my favourite so cute LOL and he is trying !

Re: Strictly 2014

That was my point - give credit where its due ......
Scott - yes very trying

Re: Strictly 2014

Myrtle hope you have a fantastic afternoon in Southport, so envious I wish I could dance !!

With Strictly I though the judges were extremely complimentary about Scott and Judy's dances. Scott does try hard but he is not a natural dancer and he will never look good in the way someone with natural ability for dancing does. That is no reflection on Scott only a reflection on his dancing. It would be unfair to vote someone who has the wow factor in their dancing ability off in favour of someone who is cute, as it is after all a dancing competition.
Sadly it is sometimes the case that the better dancers are voted off in favour os someone who has gained popularity.
I love to see someone perform a wonderful dance so that they almost look as good as the professional dancer, that is what makes a winner to me.

Re: Strictly 2014

I agree Anita. Scott and Judy are not at all good dancers so should come out early to give the good dancers a better chance. I don't think I've known another year with as many good dancers as there are this year. There are five of them in the running IMO.
