Yes. He's got to Blackpool & his birthday has gone, so his storyline is OVER! I'd be amused after all of it he was voted out in his hometown...but maybe the public will take pity on him in that respect.

I wish I hadn't seen Anton on ITT going on about his and Laila's amazing VW. I ended up being disappointed by it and I'm sure I'd have loved it otherwise.

His face when they "only" got 8s! He was so peed off. Anton really needs to keep his mouth firmly zipped.

The show will be really interesting on Sat to see who copes with best with the new surroundings of Blackpool. The stage is huge & they'll be so many more people.

Yeah, it was embarassing to watch his reaction. He really needs to stop talking

Blackpool should be good, I'm looking forward to seeing who rises to the occasion.

Did you see James and Zoe on ITT? James was much more chilled about it than I thought he would be.

Alaric20 · 11-04-2009, 02:11 PM

Okay after ITT, Craig is officially deluded

"Every week from now is a bonus" & "I'm not allowed to say what dance we're doing next week."

The montage of Craig rambling & talking total nonsense in training with clips of Flavia's eyes just glazing over with a total "WTF?! is this man talking about & "Man, I wish I was elsewhere" expression was one of the funniest things I've seen on ITT

Claudia just flat out saying now you're going to Blackpool, perhaps you should stay there?

Claudia is always so blunt with Craig. I think she is shocked with how delued he is

I love that. I can't remember the exact exchange but one time when they were talking about the judges' comments, Craig mentioned how they hadn't said he was rubbish and Claudia said something like 'not in so many words'

I so love the segment on ITT about the dresses, although sometimes I am totally disappointed by the reality of the dress compared with the drawings

That was so funny. And she kinda screwed up her face as she said it

Craig is doing Cha Cha. God help Flavia.

They always give Laila's dresses the most airtime

Yeah, they do, don't they?

Jade looks like she'll definitely be seen in hers this week

I also loved it when Claudia said "Nicoly and Hilara" by mistake instead of "Nicola and Hilary". Bless her.

I just remembered Craig's doing a Cha Cha this week. Oh lord.

Yeah, that was one bright Jive outfit. Complete with batwing

I've pinned my support now firmly with Jade/Ian, Phil/Katya & Chris/Ola. Loved Phil & Katya on ITT tonight. Katya is awesome. Their Rumba isn't actually looking that bad. I think it'll be better than I (& probably most people) expected.

Craig's Cha Cha looks predictably bad. Ali's VWaltz looks like it's going to be great. Ricky Groves' crazy faces look to be back with a vengeance for the Salsa.

I read Ricky W. has broken up with his long time gf. Queue the rumours!

I do love Katya and Phil, they have a great partnership. I'm warming to Jade, it's weird, I like Ian but for some reason I always have trouble connecting with his partners (Denise, Zoe, Penny) - the only exception being Jodie. Loved her. Chris and Ola are great, although I really want him to keep up his form and not have another off week.

Nooo, not sure how many more showmances I can take

Another gem from Craig tonight in a segment re the competion:

Quote:

Craig: "Some good dancers are going to go".

I wonder if he includes himself in that category?

Hilarious.

Really enjoyed ITT tonight. The lookalikes segment was hilarious

Flavia really is the spitting image of Sophia Loren

& Ian of Gene Wilder

Brian as one of the Thunderbirds, Phil as Tin Tin & Vincent as The Count were spot on

James & Ola having a little kiss was cute.

I awwed at that. They're sweet together.

The lookalikes were so funny. Comparing Chris to Kryten made me laugh. But comparing Ricky Groves to Dennis Waterman when he's married to Hannah Waterman was all wrong

Alaric20 · 11-07-2009, 03:35 PM

Never has a pro been so happy to be kicked off the show

Flavia could hardly contain her smile when they were announced in the dance off

Flavia deserves a medal for having to endure Craig. He reached new levels of delusions tonight

I was shocked at how harsh Alesha was, she was really pissed at his presence there over Zoe!

Brucas4life · 11-07-2009, 04:00 PM

I'm just amazed at how Craig still thought he was good and that he had been marked harshly. He just lives in a different world. Flavia is amazing, but the right couple went. It's just a shame that we lost Zoe and James before them.

I really loved Chris and Ola this week. I thought their dance was beautiful.

Shining Light · 11-09-2009, 07:15 AM

The right person definitely went, I'm going to miss Flavia though, the ovation they got at the end was really nice.

I did not approve of what Alesha said to Craig about not being able to believe Zoe was gone and having to watch him instead, unnecessarily cruel IMO.

It wasn't Craig's fault the public kept him over Zoe, as a former contestant she should know exactly how the voting on this show works, look at her series when Gabby Logan was bottom two over other much less talented people. I think the power of being a judge has gone to her head, I've been liking her better lately but that was way out of line.

**silver lining** · 11-09-2009, 10:30 AM

Nice to see Craig remained delusional to the end. Good grief. I'd recorded it and have started fast forwarding through most of the show that isn't dancing, so I missed Alesha's comment. Does sound harsh, although in the case of Craig I think he probably needed someone to beat the truth into him. I don't really think it's really fair to blame a celebrity for getting through, even though Craig played the Blackpool card to death, it's the great British public who kept him in and I don't think he can be blamed for that.

I loved Ali and Brian's dance, I was quite excited to see Craig give them a 10. I'd rather Ali won than Ricky W at this point.

So pleased Chris did well

I thought Tess looked gorgeous on Saturday, much better than that scary high ponytail last week.

When Craig can find nothing to criticize, you know it's a bloody good dance.

As well as being technically flawless, I thought their personal relationship helped them out too, because IMO they captured the romantic mood of the dance very well.

I know some people haven't really taken to Ali, but I think she's lovely and she's who I want to win at this point.

Very pleased to see Chris and Ola doing well, they have such an adorable partnership and Chris is so charming.

One of my other favourite dances of the night was Natalie and Vincent's quickstep, I love their partnership too and it's lovely to see them improving week on week.
