It takes two is really good if you are interested in the dancing or even the production of the show.

I said before but I'd sack Tess and have Zoe and Claudia hosting

Things I said to the missus last night when we watched it...

"Steve is dancing like a very good dad dancer."
"Caroline's dress was too long and she is constantly looking down to avoid treading on it."
"Sunetra's dress was perfect. It really allowed her to make the most of everything she had" wink
"Bruno should watch what he is saying to Sunetra. She looked very uncomfortable."
"Frankie is double-tapping again."
"Zoom back that camera, we want to see the feet more than the head." banghead
"Stop focusing on the pro, it's the celeb we want to see."
"Jake was awesome. I think we'll watch that again."clapbow

Something I didn't say...

"Caroline was HOT in a Plain Jane sort of way"cloud9

You mean where he effectively told her she was a bit chunky and top-heavy, but she danced round it really well? smile

Claudia is such a pro. She was only just holding the emotion in there. I thought she might burst into tears.
Yeah really felt for her, I think if someone had hugged her that would have been it.

Very random scoring I think this week as well. I think Steve or Sunetra out tonight closely followed by Mark

Isn't that what caused it? One of the female professional dancers (I forget which) threw her arms round Claudia and said "We missed you SO MUCH!" and Claudia was visibly at a loss for words, gathered herself up, said something like "all right" and then only barely held it together thereafter.

I think it was Christina (after their dance) said how lovely it was to have Claudia back which set her off. A real pro to carry on and hold it together. I never really liked her and dreaded when they announced she was stepping in after Brucie retired, but I've warmed to her as the shows have gone on and she does a much job than Tess.

I think we all knew Sunetra would be in the dance-off.

Who will be the other? Steve or Caroline, I reckon. Probably Steve.

Well, there we go.

I think Sunetra will go through because her dance this week really suits her and Steve's doesn't so much.

Yeah. It's inevitable. Sunetra's dance suits her so well this week. She'll be out next week.

Presumably he got old and then had plastic surgery.

Singers are much better this year IMO. I remember last year thinking during a dance "what are they doing to that song?" but no such thoughts this year.

It made me cringe.

I reckon he'd had enough (of Ola?)
Don't say a bad word about Steve wink. He's a really likeable guy, very genuine, hugely knowledgeable on all things wild and a very accomplished explorer and climber.

Must have been hard for him battling against some fairly serious previous injuries.

Hopefully this'll raise his profile a bit more as he's one of the best natural history presenters around.
Right two in the bottom two and the right guy went. Sunetra will be gone next week i would think.

I apparently have a man crush...

Read his Wiki page, he's done some interesting stuff and had a pretty nasty 30ft rock climbing fall in the Wyr Valley.

And what was with Darcy picking Steve over Sunetra purely on the grounds of his 'big guns' !!!!! I was under the impression it was a dance contest but maybe I'm wrong
