Strictly Come Dancing 2014 (Official Thread)

[NBTBRV8]

Well I've just watched last weeks shows and seen the results (which I didn't know before hand). Jake was the weakest and he had to go. I thought Caroline's Salsa was good, but not as good as her Charleston from the week before, that is the dance of the series for me.

I would have liked to have seen Pixie in the final instead of Mark if I am to be honest though.

I do hope Caroline wins, she has come on strong just at the right time with the right combination of talent, charisma and sex appeal in her dances.

[JonRB]

Looks like everyone is there for the final tonight.



Anyone else getting a little bit excited? I know I am. I may even have to change into a sparkly dress for the evening.

[Fishtigua]

Wonder if Ola will be there?

I wonder if, after she has healed up, she will keeeep dancing?

(I read somewhere that her injuries might be career-ending)

[JonRB]

I'm not saying that I'm really excited and looking forward to this but...


I'm really excited.

[JonRB]

Anyone else think we might see 9 and 10 rather a lot tonight?

[Fishtigua]

Who's beaten Darcy up? Her eye make-up makes her look like a losing boxer peeled off the deck.

[JonRB]

If Strictly were about progression and improvement then Mark would win it. What a journey.

Mind you, Caroline has shown huge improvement too. Frankie least so of the 4.

Yes, I agree about Mark.
A great piece of music for Frankie and Kevin. Lovely dress too.

[JonRB]

All 4 of them deserve to win, to be honest. They're all brilliant.

Frankie is probably my least favourite of them though.

But, yes, what a dress! *swoon*

[JonRB]

Judy Murray trotting like a pony. brilliant

[SPR2]

Surprised they could speak after that !

Dreadful show dance by Mark, Frankie is class.

What, seriously? Frankie's dance was sterile and Mark's had heart & soul.

I can't help but feel a bit amused as she got a little big for her boots and now this. It is hard luck but it does serve her right.

Sadly I can't disagree with you.

Caroline's show dance terrific too; but she can't do ballroom.

It was a little bit "interpretive dance" but so much passion and emotion. That was amazing.

[Fishtigua]

From Day1 one I said Flackers and Webbie. Not far off for a pick.

Been waiting for Claudia's dress to do an exposure

Well, I can't predict how the rest of the public have voted, but I can tell you how I've voted and who I want to win. If that corresponds to what transpires then that will be brilliant.

1. Caroline (I voted 3 times).
2. Simon (I voted twice)
3. Mark (I voted once)
4. Frankie (I didn't vote)

Total cost: 90p

Frankie is a good dancer but Caroline, Simon and Mark have all had the greater journey and the greater improvement. Also I find Frankie a little clinical although she is a good dancer and undoubtedly cute.

Caroline's show dance made me well up (ok, ok, I cried). That was such an amazing dance.
