The Politicianist (Vincent Simone’s fabulous* word not mine) is out!
The Old Cougar takes one long last look
And so, with Dell’Olio and Du Beke at the bottom of the leader board and Extra-Lessons-Donovan and Rihanoff at the top, it was Curry the Cougar who the viewers sent home with no Vincent for her supper.
At least now it will be an end to hearing all the ways in which she would like to eat him.
In a week when Christina Rianhoff was channeling Jessica Rabbit, Anita Dobson was channeling a liquorice Allsort on legs and Will Young’s dancers were channeling Flavia Cacace, what else is there to say about the show?
Channeling Flavia as we dance
The Bibsey vote: This week I was loving Jordan and Jones – she looked gorgeous and so much more confident this week, and he grows on me a little more every year.
Clear leaders: Donovan and Rihanoff are on top for another week. He wanted to be “smooth, quick and cool”. I guess that he made it. Who cares if he has had extra lessons? Wouldn’t you have lessons if you knew you were going into a dancing competition? And you know, time and money were no object…
Cringing: Oooo, I don’t think that Nancy appreciated Brucie’s pre-dance boa-based jokes this week do you? Enough with the comedy already from you two! Oh, and while you’re at it we could do without the ill-advised opening lifts, thank you.
It takes Allsorts
Truest word from the judges: From Tonioli, “Nancy, she’s barmier than I am”. Yes Bruno, but the people’ love her’ – or so she says.
Highlight: Len referring Little Harry Judd as ‘my old sausage’.
On the edge of my seat: The moment when La Grant and Cacace nearly came a cropper with a boa but, unlike Dell’Olio, came through unscathed and with a smile. Goodman said it all when he said that Russell ‘put the boy in flamboyant’.
Winkleman: Hooray! As usual all shoes and eye-liner, on the sofa with Len Goodman, where she belongs!
Ok, enough, far too much even, from me. What did you think? Are you in love with one couple already? Me? I’m not there yet. Now here is a question:
If you could chose a partner who would it be? I think for me it would have to be Robin Windsor, as Ian Waite is no longer available.
