Anastasia had three very obvious mistakes in her routine including missing a turn near the at the end of the routine. Even Brendan shook his head and smiled because he thought they were gone.

Fair enough...didn't spot that....but I stil liked to feel of the dance over naga's

Don't agree at all....I didn't see mistakes in her routine, if they were there they were subtle. Naga's mistakes were obvious.

Plus I thought Anastasia's dance had a real sex appeal to it, wasnt by any means perfect but it was good

Did you watch the dance off?
She didn't know what to do, her dance partner had to grab her to do the right moves.

Like someone else said I read, they want to keep her in cos of the big money being paid.

Don't know if that is true or not, but she was the one to go from what I saw.

Crazy to think that yer man will from x factor or what ever it was called when he won, was just getting 25 grand for this.

I thought all the celebs got paid the same.

Also, Americans never do well on Strictly. Michelle Williams from Destiny's Child did poorly.

Bases on some of the posts since yesterday, I think a few people have been spending too much time in Conspiracy Theories forum

It's the same as Celebrity Big Brother, the bigger the "celeb" the bigger the bigger pay cheque.

Not according to the sun, if it's to be believed.....

God, it’s not a huge amount of money for the amount of time and effort it involves. You’d get a lot more than that for just sitting on your ar*e in the jungle or in Big Brother. I think it’s a testament to the show that it attracts quite a high calibre of contestant considering the money isn’t exceptional. I would presume that the sums mentioned in that article are just for the show and don’t include the tour? It’s fairly crap for the contestants and professionals if that includes the tour.

As an aside, is Brendan really in contention for taking over Len? I wouldn’t be a fan of his at all, there’s something very smug about him. Anton has a good personality and manner about him, I would think Brendan too cold a fish to be a judge.

Go Harvey Go

Well I'm paying no attention to the tabloids or the conspiracy theories whatsoever.

Especially when the latest CT is that Naga went because of her skin colour. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: It is true that no white celeb has been eliminated in the normal way thus far - but, Jeepers H Crackers, is there not such a thing as coincidence??! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

(I like to make a few CTs myself, mind - but certainly not in this situation or the one with Will.)

I would imagine neither will get the job. I recon Karen Hardy will get it.

Brendan and Anton are the two longest serving male professionals on the show so either would seem a natural successor to Len. Brendan was a judge on DWTS in New Zealand for 4 years. Two of those years were with Craig and they had vastly different views and marking styles.

Brendan is one of my fave pro dancers so I would like to see him as a judge. Anton is see as too much of a messer, I could see him similar to Bruno as a judge and I don't think we could handle 2 Bruno's on the panel. :P

I would be disgusted if Anton replaced Len as a Judge. He comes across as a very mean spirited individual.

If it were a choice between Brendan and Anton, I'd choose Brendan every day. (With Darcy being made head judge).

I thought Craig was being promoted to head judge.

I like both Anton and Brendan . Anton I think can get fed up being paired with the "older" contestants most of the time ,which seems to shorten their length of staying time in the competition . Just my opinion on it though.

But both men are fantastic dancers , my favourites to be honest.

Sorry, I just meant I'd make Darcy a head judge if I had the power. I'm sure Craig still is the person being promoted.

I hadn't considered Brendan for judge, thought anton would be a shoe in (pardon the pun) ;-)

But thinking about it, Brendan would make a better judge I think....

I don't however think Craig should be head judge, he's not balanced enough and will favour "showy" elements to a dance rather than score for traditional footwork etc. That's something Len took to the panel.

Darcy and Bruno are not critical enough most of the time so I don't see any of the remaining 3 as suitable for head judge :-/

I was thinking Karen as well. She seems to know her stuff and can be critical when needed. Or bring back Arlene.;)

Arlene was great. Don't like Anton at all - he would put me off watching.

Gorka has been rehearsing with Anastasia this week. Seems that Brendan's lung infection hasn't improved.

Brendan was told to take things easy till Friday, so Gorka has been teaching Anastasia the dance. Brendan is doing the right thing in following doctors orders!

Also, LOVING the two new dancers who are doing the choreography section in Karens absence.

Gorka is now dancing tomorrow night with Anastasia. Poor old Brendan. He hopes to be back if she gets through this weekend.

Wonder how that'll work out. I think Dancing with the Stars show rehearsal footage if a couple can't make the live show and judges judge that. I think!

yogibear77

Oh I do love judge rinder. He really makes me smile

HeidiHeidi

Very tall order to come out first and do a jive after Ore's last week!

HeidiHeidi

First mention of Blackpool :mad:

HeidiHeidi

Oh dear.... this isn't great

Why do they have her arms covered in that flesh-coloured material? Makes her looks like a corpse! I know they fill in gappy bits on the costumes with it, but the whole way down her arms?

Diplomatic Corps for Darcy

Not a lover of the cha cha cha daaaarling....be interesting to see how it goes
