Strictly Come Dancing 2008

[Lena & Harry Smith]

Gillian Taylforth said she's had a wonderful time. From recent clips of the blood sweat and tears, and then get booted off the first week, she could have fooled me.

[Gray]

I thought Gillian did OK, last week she looked as though she had two left feet but was much improved this week.

[Marian]

I think we got the right result this weekend with Gary Rhodes being booted off. Mark is so tall it is more difficult for him I should think, and Gary definately danced flat footed. Sorry to see Karen go though, although I know she'll still be dancing with the professional dancers.

[Gray]

Amanda and I agree Marian, Gary had to go.
Do you know, I do not know how to waltz, or foxtrot or anything like that at all!

[mariana44]

Yes I agree also--Gary's turn to go.

I am not sure about the girls next week--I think Jessie may go.

[Marian]

Arlene chose Jessie as one that stood out for her in the combined dance this week. Considering she isn't as slight as some of the other girls, she can certainly strut her stuff! I think Jodie might be out this week.
Marian

[Lena & Harry Smith]

We thought after the first week that Heather Small was going to do well, but after seeing the girls group dance she will have to improve.
We can't wait to see the lovely man John Sargeant do the jive or Lindy hop.

[Marian]

Well I was wrong about Jodie. She did well this week. Quite sorry to see Jessie go, as she obviously enjoyed being in the show, but probably this goes for everyone now.
Next week should be interesting when both the boys and girls are judged together.
Marian

[mariana44]

I have to say, I could not see anyone other than Jessie going--maybe Jodie as a second.

[Lena & Harry Smith]

It was a shame that Jessie went, but she's a bit of a lump isn't she and that obviously made it difficult for her with the quickstep.

[mariana44]

Some of those girls seemed very light footed--but not Jessie !!

[mariana44]

I thought that Katherine Jenkins and Darcey Bussell were just spell-binding on last night's results show.

I loved the song that Katherine sang.

[Marian]

I agree Marian, they were wonderful. They were on again on tonight's It Takes Two.
I was quite sorry to see Don, and especially Lilia go last night, but then they all have to go in turn, apart from the eventual winner.
Marian

[mariana44]

I was sorry to see Lilia go as she is one of my favourites of the professionals---I was not really surprised that Don went.

And yes, I saw Katherine and Darcey on "It takes two"

[Lena & Harry Smith]

Heather and Brian performed better than Don and Lilia in the dance off, so it was no surprise really that they were voted off.
John is still there. with his partner .. as he said ( I'm breathing that raw sexuality)
Mark Foster is a lovely guy but will have to improve, and the years must be taking their toll on me ... I thought that vest top was awful.
Jodie was good this week, but for us it's Tom Chambers who they will all have to beat.
