Ah, John you have restored my faith. The judges seem determined that Natalie will win. I thought her charlston wasn't just not very good, but that is was a mess!! Her legs were all over the place, how could the judges not have seen it?

It was hard not to watch Yevetta in 'that outfit' she looked stunning or I thought so, I remember Ola wearing something similar a few series ago and it had the same effect on all you men :roll:

I do think the outfits they wear influence you to a degree ( probably men more so than women ) look at poor old Ann Widdecombe they didn't dress her in anything flattering at all and I'm sure if they had she would have got a few more votes, the voters will overlook someone making mistakes if they look good, the judges won't but then they only have half of the vote, we can all be so fickle when it comes down to how good a person looks or how attractive they are :o

HAHAHA, how on earth could you dress Ann Widdecombe in anything flattering? She is ugly, fat and old. There is nothing she could wear to make herself look better!


Dancing Queen, you did make me laugh!

That's a little unkind Crooze, even larger ladies that have not been blessed with good looks can ....given the right makeover look good.

OK AW was never going to win but she was entertaining.

Thank you for your post Jay, it's saved me writing exactly the same. I would also add Patrick.

Surely those lunatic judges haven't preferred Mark to Fiona? What with Bruno's increasingly crazy antics, Len trying to become a 'personality', and Craig's bizarre scoring, I am finding them losing credibility.

I don't care who goes, just as long as it's not the lovely Ola. :thumbup:

We have a similar taste OBF. I do like Ashley's attitude, and his work ethic.

I expect he has a good incentive. I would. No wonder he practises so much.

I wonder what Ola is like as a person? Has anybody been on a Strictly cruise who has met her?

I thought most of the judges scoring was bonkers last night

I felt they were harsh on Sophie Ellis-Bextor. Out of all the dances, I thought hers was one of the most enjoyable.

I think Fiona will go this week.

Mark probably should go, but he's fun, I like to be entertained.

No but I saw her on a chat show a while ago and she comes across as a lovely person.

Ola was on the SCD cruise on Azura in May. We didn't meet her but went to her audience with the cruise director.

She came across a being very friendly and open. She was happy to have her photo taken both at the sailaway party and in the theatre.

She really is as stunning as looks on the TV.

That's good to hear Sue.

We came across another female dancer on a Strictly cruise who, quite honestly seemed as if she didn't want to be there. She walked around in a baseball cap with large sunglasses and avoided meeting anybody - very unapproachable. This was in sharp contrast to Craig RW who was all personality, or to Ian Waite and Natalie Lowe who were quite delightful.

Go Ola!! :thumbup:

Probably been asked before but can anyone definitely confirm when the results show is recorded
I suspect it's recorded on the Saturday evening but haven't any real evidence of that

Definitely Saturday - you can see the same people in the same seats in the audience.

There are several places on the Internet where you can find out who has been eliminated well before the results show.
