Tonight - we've recovered the sofas, Paulla and Widdyton will try them out. Behind the scenes and Scott's hairstylist would look right at home in Albert Square; Jared-teasing and Erin sabotaging Gavya!
Paul (A wand-ering star) says he pictured the judges as spitting image puppets and could barely contain himself; Ola (Strictly Dancing Queen) sticks up for her man, he didn't get anything wrong. They're adorable in training. Foxtot next week; it's going well, says Ola. "Who are you doing it with?" asks Paul!
Judges comments, condensed. Craig in the house (Handy-man: it's an armography thing) Overall, celebs are fantastic, loves the new pros, pairings are great. Matt and Pamela impress with the arms, desperate to see Widdyton's salsa!
Chris Hollins' take too (see what I did there?) Peter -good hands, agile, true gent; Gavin - great turn of speed, loves going forward, let's hope he loves going backwards and side to side too; Pamela - good with her head *ouch*; Felicity - oozes class; Matt - enthusiastic, can get down and dirty; Ann, tactical genius; Tina - small and nippy; Kara - loves the pressure of competition; Goldie - exuberant, disciplinary problem; Pasty - from absolute beginner to lethal weapon; Paul - veteran showing touches of magic. Don't mess with the boss! Michelle, big signing from the US; Jimi the bubbly boy and Scott - a players' player.
Widdyton! Ann (Right Foot Forward) has a fantastic attitude - and replies "no-one's ever seen Dumbo dance before" to Clauds assertion that the world was waiting. Anton (Beke in business) says they changed the beginning of the routine, taking out the splits and cartwheels! Re the standing ovation, Ann says: They hoped we'd finished, they'd had enough! Re next week, there'll be things in the salsa that don't belong there - like the waltz, lol!

Snippets: SCD, SYTYCD, GTD
A taster of what's in store on the Strictly Come Dancing tour - I'm thrilled there's a group Charleston number, they look fab!
JLS are confirmed for So You Think You Can Dance, performing their new song One Shot ... Anton and Erin's Steppin' Out show review ... excellent article 'Born to Dance' by Davina Morris in The Voice.
In Got To Dance, judges Ashley, Kimberley and Adam have whittled 98 acts down to just 18, for the three live semi finals, the first of which is January 24th. Two acts will be voted through by the public to the grand final.

News in Brief: SYTYCD, SCD
Katie Holmes would love to see husband Tom Cruise as a judge on So You Think You Can Dance! Take a minute and click the link through to Katie chatting to Cat about the Dizzy Feet Foundation and how she became involved with that and therefore SYTYCD. Ignore the misery guts who wrote the piece, Katie has a lovely voice and the performance is a very happy way to waste a couple of minutes! More about the Dizzy Feet Foundation.
An interview with Debbie Allen - and an interview with choreographer Mia Michaels.
First Canadian SYTYCD winner, Nico Achembault has landed the role of Nureyev.
A lovely interview with Alesha - her side of the stories for a change!
Karen Hardy at the Dance Against Hunger Ball.
Joe Calzaghe rescues military hero and George Cross holder Chris Finney from an insurance call centre. I thought the initial headline meant from a burning building or something, but frankly, working in a call centre is worse, much worse. Trust me.
Darcey Bussell is Godmother to P&O Cruise Ship Azura - for a moment there, I thought she was going into a cruise ship panto!
Anton and his significant others!
Tommy Blaize and Dave Arch are appearing at the 606 Club on 7th Decemeber.
The full line up, including partners for the tour have been released - see here.
Introducing the SCD Professional Dancers, with some nice photos of waistcoats.
We all know Strictly Come Dancing is good for you - now it's official! Interesting to note in there that Jade did dance again afterwards but the BBC physio refused to let her perform! Better not let a certain forumite see that little titbit any time soon ... bye, bye for now, bye!

News in Brief: SCD, DOI, DWTS,
From the Strictly training rooms:
Ali and Brian are excited about having the opportunity to let their hair down this week - there's plenty of flirting, hip swinging and fun in rehearsals!
There have been many points of amusement for Katya in training so far this week, with Phil sniffing his armpits, chewing carrots and blowing his nose throughout rehearsals. Katya has also told him that he looks a bit scruffy and would probably dance better if he dressed a bit nicer for training!
Chris has read up on the Paso dance and discovered that the man is in charge! He took advantage of this by telling Ola she would soon be calling him Mr Hollins! I bet that didn't last long though ...
Natalie is still loving being part of the show since she has reached the halfway point but didn’t quite realise it would get so serious!
According to Anton, he has had shorter relationships than the 12 weeks he has been dancing with Laila! Laila said “Anton and I are sometimes like a married couple. We shout and scream at each other and then he tells me I’ve got to be sexy!” Towards the end of their Rumba routine, Laila started to feel dizzy. Anton, of course, thought this was because she was getting intoxicated by the Rumba and his irresistible charm!
Ricky Groves spoke of his disappointment at losing the public vote and said that you can never tell what will happen, as the last time when the judges slated his dance he still got through! The words Erin used were 'down and out' - come on now, it'll all be different again this week!
Ricky and Natalie had a lot of fun in rehearsals yesterday - Ricky performed a Beyoncé impression which, whilst incredibly entertaining, didn’t impress Natalie apart from giving her the giggles. That clip will probably be tucked away for the end credits on ITT! The fast-paced routine of the Jive seems to be taking its toll on him though, there's a lot of panting, leaning against a wall out of breath and lying flat on his back! Now that's official and not anything to do with rumours touted by the red tops, people - I know how your minds work, now stop it.
In other SCD news, Karen Hardy coaching Phil and Kate from 'The Apprentice' on Live from Studio Five; they'll perform in front of a judging panel on Friday.
Fancy a cruise? Of course you do, and even more so if it's free and you can have dance lessons with Darren and Lilia!
Camilla is a busy busy bee - not only has boyriend Kevin Sacre confimed on Twitter that she's definitely in I'm A Celebrity etc, she's also set to take over from Mr. Motivator as the fitness guru on GMTV!
According to the gossip rags, Vernon Kay is leaving ITV and coming to the Beeb - to take over from Brucie on Strictly! I like Vernon actually, and the only other person I've thought so far that would do a good job is Paul O'Grady. Like I said, that's the gossip rags ...
Ali, Natalie and Zoe have also signed up for the next Strictly tour, joining Ramps, Austin and Kelly, leaving just two places, another from the current crop and one more from an older series presumably. Who would you like to see?

Torvill and Dean say that Dancing on Ice is the toughest reality show on telly - and I'm not going to argue, you wouldn't catch me doing it! Here's a more in depth article with them - ignore the headline, it's not an attack on Strictly *rolls eyes*. It's also reported that Boyzone's Mikey Graham will be taking part as a tribute to Stephen Gately, and that Heather Mills may possibly drop out, due to the pain it's causing her.
Trav's Thoughts are in on both DWTS and SYTYCD, enjoy!

One word: Path-et-ic
So according to this report, both Sharon Osbourne and Richard Madeley are quitting Strictly Come Dancing because of the pay cut. Actually, I've another couple of words: Bye *waves* no-one wants you anyway. According to the message boards I've read, Sharon and Richard are two of the most unpopular possible contenders ever - so BBC, save your money and give us someone we might actually like.
Also in the report it calls Arlene 'popular' - like I've said before - do these people actually watch the shows/read the message boards/have short memories?
Anyway, Sharon, if you feel you're not being valued, bugger off back to America's Got Talent (not BGT - see I noticed my deliberate mistake) and leave Strictly well alone. As for you Richard - got anything else planned for the rest of the year, have you? When's your next TV appearance? When was your last TV appearance, come to that?
I think I like the sound of Jay Hunt - no nonsense and telling the overpaid, full of themselves celebs that, actually, they're answerable to us when it comes to Auntie Beeb. I think she's realised that Strictly is the sum of its parts and its audience don't care who the individual components are. The only issue concerning me is that the pro dancers get a decent pay packet - they are the ones who work the hardest, without a doubt, and are worth every penny. Having said that, without the show they wouldn't earn as much the rest of the year, so I can't see any of them quitting over money either.
Someone we may like is Natalie Cassidy , for example! Fits the bill as an ex-Eastender but comes across as pretty normal and someone who could enjoy taking part without any hystrionics unlike someone else we know!
Anton and Erin are appearing at a charity ball for the Grace House Hospice Appeal, so if you're in the area, don't be shy - buy a ticket and have a great time supporting a worthy cause.

Anton's emergency op, Brian Fortuna and Dancing on Wheels
Strictly Come Dancing's Anton Du Beke is recovering following an emergency operation for a twisted colon, after being taken ill on holiday in Italy. And while they were down there, they took his appendix as well - but there's no stopping Anton and four weeks later he was back and in attandance at dancer partner Erin Boag's wedding. Wonder who choreographed the first dance and what they danced to?
Fortuna's Fantastics fantastic blog popped up today - if you took a fancy to Brian during the last series (as did I) get yourself over there and check out their Youtube account! Brian is also involved with a new series being filmed for BBC3 - with the working title 'Dancing on Wheels', the show is filming now with a transmission date of January 2010. Able bodied stars taking part include Brian's Strictly partner Heather Small, plus Mark Foster from last year's SCD celebs, together with Kevin Sacre, fiancee of 2008 Strictly winner, Camilla Dallerup. Check out the blog link up there, for further info about Wheelchair Dancesport, with which Brian's mother, Sandra is heavily involved.
