Strictly Come Dancing It Takes Two: Pace Cadets or Cape Fear?

Ballroom updates: The general consensus: It's very quick and full of steps. Chrola on 95 hours, Ola believes he can do it - slaps his bum to get him moving; Ravona on 85 *whistles through teeth* there's a bit of tension. Rav still hunky, even in those shorts; Alian top of the training hours 121! With a sprained ankle (Ali, you have my every sympathy, I came off my bike last week and I have one too!) but still looking lovely; Phitya on 69.5 and it's a mutual appreciation society! Ianade on 104 and Ian's knackered, Jade's wearing him out. Well, you wanted an athlete Ian! Cravia on 94.5, he's going to be Fred or Gene and he says he's enjoying himself - you have to smile to make us believe it Craig!

Lainton on 105.5, it's beginning to click and she can't wait to get her dress on and be a Princess! They're on Claudia's sofa - Laila (Princess Laila?) *wonders how she'll have her hair up* They wouldn't, would they? Oh, wouldn't it be fab if they did though - long white batwing dress, hair in coils and Anton as Han Solo *squeals with excitement, then collapses into giggles, figuring: I'm quite alone in this* is nervous for Saturday, Anton (Striking Beke) tells her: "It's not the quickstep, it's the tango with different music!"

Latin updates: Looking for their aggresive alter egos - Vinalie on 95 hours, one minute strong, next asleep on the sofa; Darrynda on 56.5 getting into character - Eric Morcembe! Jostina on 105.5 - cape work, looking good! They just raised the roof! Almost; Zojam on 73 - you can do it, you will do it! Liked the twiddly bit James did then; Ricalie on 96, going well until the rugby tackle! Jodan on 73, got to find the aggresive person within her but she's dancing!

Rickin on 68.5 and on the other sofa: There's The Mouth choreography! Claudia wants Ricky to moonwalk, he doesn't need asking twice. Her girlfriends want her to bring him round on Saturday afternoon, he can't go. Ricky (Get into the groves) is married to Hannah Waterman, daughter of Dennis, but you could easily believe he's Dennis' son! He has three red tee-shirts from the Lord's Taverners you know - he's not wearing the same one continually, like you thought. Oh, you did! Erin (she likes to Boagie) says theirs is a Paso you don't want to miss - it has knee pads and Ricky Moments. She doesn't mean the chocolates.

Ianade also pop into see our Clauds. Jade (Hop, quickstep and jump) had much fun in the cha cha, Ian (no Waiteing around) just hopes he can keep up with her on Saturday. On spending so much time together, Ian says: "You could make a whole series on it!

"We are!" says Claudia. "Goodnight!"

  1. Argh! Sounds like a good one - will have to look at I-player :o)

    Incidently, with regards to the 'how bad can she be' Sinitta thing a few days ago. From what I understand they take a lot of health and other factors into it. For example, Colleen Nolan had auditioned before, but was considered too unfit to do it. If it was about talent there's no way they would have let Todd in! Lol :o)

  2. Wonder why she's not made it then?? Let speculation commence ;) Perhaps Simon won't let her ...hm, you may have just given me my DS story for the weekend there, foxy!

  3. Oh that crazy Quickstep! I think this is one of the most difficult ballroom styles because you have to make it smooth instead of hoppy.
