Never knew Valeria and Vitali are married with a child

A lot of them are couples:
Valeria and Vitali
Curtis and Emily
Kai and Guilia
Darren Bennett and Lilia (the choreographer)

And Ryan and Ksenia are exs.

I'm heading to it this evening so will try and write a comprehensive account of the evening later or tomorrow.

I'd reckon Marty is most likely to go tonight.
Rob doesn't seem to be enjoying the experience that much. He seemed quite frustrated last week. Emily too probably doesn't want to be eliminated early like last year so perhaps there's a little added pressure.

I hope Maia and Erin drop the "woe is me" shtick and start enjoying themselves. Bernard could go a long way in the competition and be this year's Des Cahill.

I wish the media would stop portraying Marty as some sort of national institution. It's getting irritating.

I think the reason why the media focus so much on him is because he's probably the best known and he appears on the cover of the guide/etc because he'd be popular with older people who'll buy it.

We must have more 'National Institutions' per head of population than any country in the world.. 'Marty', 'Dessie'..every show has one.

pjohnson

Meh. I'd prefer people like Marty and Dessie over the likes of McGregor

To be fair often the weakest dancer in Strictly gets idolised as well and I say it would be similar with other versions of Dancing with the Stars if you followed them.

I am a little lost with Erin to be honest. I don't mind her at all to be honest.
Is she a typical working class mam from Dublin or is she a wealthy mam from Dublin due to her brother. Now I have no issue with the families wealth but I got the impression that Conor treated his family very well and I say fair play to him for this.

She wasn't as vocal last week. Though i suppose the show was the busiest one of the season with the most dancers and that was some of it.

Very even bunch of dancers so far this year. Probably none as good as the best of last year.

I didnt mean her. I meant Conor being regarded as a national icon.

Yes and I thought it was stupid the way they had to bring up the dressing gown again!

Amanda has um well out tonight

SeaFields

Jaysus that's a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen.

Mr.Crinklewood

Sorry, this is all I could think of.

Not meant as any slight against the girl dancer.

pjohnson

Rob, Bernard and Tomas look great haha

liam7831

That bodysuit does nothing for her

exaisle

That was atrocious and she looked ridiculous in that jumpsuit...it did nothing for her....mid-table at best tonight I'd say..

freshpopcorn

I think Benson really over marked Erin!

Ridiculous marks. That was utter rubbish and hard to watch

I still think that Marty is more of a natural to the dancing than Amanda is to the presenting.

And surely that dress is a bit inappropriate for the hour. Or did I miss the start where they announced the "Guess Amanda's Breast Size?" text competition

She probably writes her own scripts...

Nice dress though..I wouldn't have any problem with it at this hour.

iamwhoiam

Robs trousers just exaggerated his bad leg work

anthonyjmaher

Nothing for Jonny Vegas to worry about here eh????
