Dancing With the Stars - Ireland

Deirdre for the win though Anna will probably get the GAA vote behind her.

How much money did you loose?

Any chance the cult of GAA could have their phones blocked next week? Anna should be gone by now

The dance off assassin has been assassinated.
I still think it should have been Deirdre going tonight. No way was she better than either of the couples in the dance off. All done by use of media in campaigning not dancing.

Haha lady screwed up her voice over during the end credits

Julian's wardrobe... Has he any 'ordinary' clothes:D

I like him though, he seems a very good natured person.

Hope you didn't lose too much:p
But I totally agree with you on Deirdre. Her "strop" won her some sympathy tonight. Now hats of to all of them for the performances they put in but she doesn't deserve to be in the final..

Although I am happy Jake is through he and Erin were matched on dancing skill she was better in the dance off but it was her 4th time

Deirdre will milk the "its my 50th birthday " next week though :rolleyes:

And why wouldn't she!

I think celebrating such a landmark of a 50th birthday doing what she is doing at the moment is far more credible than betting almost 50 quid on Nathan Carter's brother being eliminated !!

Ha!

Previous weeks have or shouldn't have anything to do with it.

Well clearly they did because Stevie Wonder could see that Erin was better then him tonight.

Also what was with Ryan specifically thanking only the pro dancers?

But it shouldn't. It is the same with any of these "dance/sing offs" in competitions anyway. 90% of the time the result of the voting is inevitable, despite the performances so it was expected Jake would go through.

Which is why I was pleasantly surprised to see Brian not following the script and backing his earlier comments

It is nice the 3 different pros got to the final compared to last year so we get to see 3 different show dances, that is one good thing about the result

Hopefully it won't sway things in her direction but fear it might..it would be very unfair to the others.
However..what a way to celebrate your 50th! And she looks fab..

I'd say we will see Anna & Jake bring back their Charlestons that got 30, John's classic ballroom with Deidre was amazing a few weeks ago.

Karen is very good in hiding Jake. Does fk all in first dance so only really has to learn dance two. That didn’t go well so dance off is this dancing like a statue. Where Erin does a dance. For that reason he should go

Free advertising for Riverdance there.

Holy God, the absolute state of Julian :eek::eek::eek:

riverdance is another level to DWS, incredible show.

surprised there isnt an Irish dancing version of DWS, it would be serious.

I think there was a few years ago- "Celebrity Jigs and Reels"

Dance off could easily have gone either way. Thought Erin edged it but she's just not getting the votes.
Anna's to lose at this stage.
Still, we're in for a treat of a final. The finalists are better than last year's in my opinion. Aidan last year <shudder>
Thought the pro dance was very interesting and had a wow factor. Not sure if you'd have got the full benefit if you were in the studio audience. Definitely up there as one of the best this series.

OK, so we're playing the "she's sick" card tonight, are we?

I still maintain that Deirdre must have been sick last week, but we didn't hear about that. (I admit I could be miles wide of the mark with that but that's what I think!)

Deirdre would need a good reason to have reacted like she did last week. She was like a spoilt child. I had liked her up until then - was hoping she would make it to the final, if not to win it, as I think she is a brilliant dancer - so light on her feet. Now, I am 'meh' about her. Don't really care how she does. Anna or Jake to win anyway, I'd say.

The state of Lorraine and Julian lol.

Never saw either of them look as bad as they do tonight. Loraine looks like she is wearing a velvet curtain! Julian's feathers!! :eek::D

That's really not fair and bang out of order.



You'd never see a velvet curtain as horrible as that

Erin's a very good dancer.

I've grown to like Erin quite a bit. She has been very gracious and sportsmanlike when she has had to do the dance offs, even though she did not deserve to have been in them. Much better than Ryan, who sometimes looked like he was chewing wasps!!

I wonder if they feel they can't criticise much because of the Dolores tribute aspect, though I do get the impression Lorraine doesn't like Deirdre very much!

The judges seem to mingle with the dancers during the week. I daresay Deirdre does not pretend to like Loraine after her various remarks about her dancing. She seems to work very hard and does not take criticism well.

They don't really. Not unless there's some PR or media events.
The judges would see a video or two of the rehearsals and training and then see the dance in full for the first time at the dress rehearsal.
The judges have their own day jobs that still continue during the week.

Loved Deidre’s and Johns dance, have a soft spot for contemporary dance and John is looking rather tasty tonight

John's eyeliner suited him! :pac:

Not too sure about the dance. They obviously put their all into it, there were some brilliant moves, but, as a totality, I was not blown away by it, as I was by Anna and Kai's 'Frozen'.

Not Jake's best performance, I thought.

She oozes sex appeal. Something very naughty about her.

Brian certainly likes her! Don't think I have heard any of the judges complimenting the professionals as Brian did Karen tonight. He credited Jake for the fact that his eyes 'were drawn' to Karen a lot during the dance. Had nothing to do with the costume she was wearing, haha!!
