2 questions: after 6 years, why is it only now that everyone's realized Len Goodman says "Se-ven!" in a funny way? Also, was SCD moved to an earlier timeslot on Saturday to see if Merlin performed better at 7pm (which it did), or to compete against England vs. Kazakhstan on ITV1?
The contest this week focused on the celebrity women, again:
CHRISTINE BLEAKLEY & Matthew Cutler
I really love the sense of fun she exudes with that mega-watt smile, but her banana-coloured dress with floaty arm bits was a disappointment and kept most things hidden from sight. Together with a tight bun-style hairdo, this was unfortunate.JODIE KIDD & Ian Waite
The self-obsessed tomboy went all out to impress; pouring herself into a purple dress with a cut skirt showing off those gorgeous legs. Lots of cleavage on her wide chest, lovely hair and shapely curves completed the look. Excellent stuff from the former-supermodel.HEATHER SMALL & Brian Fortuna
Well, I just don't see any sexual appeal with Heather, but her sparkling white dress with arm tassels was pretty nice.CHERIE LUNGHU & James Jordan
Well, if you covet the older woman I think Cherie's something of a pin-up for you. Superb figure in that wonderful white dress with black borders, very elegant and serene with great facial features. The thinking man's crumpet.JESSIE WALLACE & Darren Bennett
A light pink dress that covered everything up, with tight hair. Forgettable all round, sadly.LISA SNOWDON & Brendan Cole
She must have the best legs in Strictly; they might even give last year's Penny Lancaster a run for her money (on account of not being freakishly long). Lisa was on top form here, in a tight open-backed purple dress showing lots of leg and hugging every contour of her body. Wonderful.RACHEL STEVENS & Vincent Simone
A classy cyan dress that boosted her cleavage, but the S Clubber is still quite conservative compared to the other girls. Legs were covered, hair was up, so it was all a slight let-down."RUEDA" GROUP DANCE
The celebrity men did an unintentionally hilarious group dance, but it was still nice to see the professional dancers strut their stuff; from Lilia's lovely flat belly, to Erin's fine legs, Ola's hot red dress and Hayley's slender back."AMERICAN SMOOTH" PRO DANCE
On Sunday, the professionals all joined together for an American Smooth. The girls were all looking great in elegant light-pink/white ballgowns – which left most things to the imagination, but Lilia always looks amazingly curvy in whatever she wears, and Hayley Holt showed a pleasing amount of cleavage.THE DANCE-OFF
It came down Jessie Wallace/Darren Bennett versus Heather Small/Brian Fortuna. I can see why, as both did rather poorly. I'd prefer to see Jessie stay, but she was unfortunately the fourth celeb to be kicked off the show. A shame, but it could have been much worse. Just keep Lilia and Ola in for as long as possible, please.11 October – BBC1, 5.50pm
