Week 3 elimination spoiler

[Denver]

Annekka vs David

Annekka eliminated

[Beso]

Taking one for the team.

[RileyH]

:(

[GoldHeart]

I haven't watched it back yet but was Anneka really worse than David?? .

[Denver]

I haven't watched it back yet but was Anneka really worse than David?? .

Yes much worse

[Vanessa]

First time I voted like mad for Karim. I didn't want to take any chances. :laugh:

[GoldHeart]

Yes much worse

Poor Anneka she improved a bit last week I thought .

[MB.]

Anneka turning up, running around in a circle for ninety seconds in lieu of dancing, getting one of the lowest scores in history and then immediately pissing off home is the level of iconic I aspire to be

[Denver]

Poor Anneka she improved a bit last week I thought .

All she did was run on a spot for like 2 mins

[Vanessa]

The Twitter spoiler poll gives a good idea of how the vote is going. This week they had it spot on.

When will others favs

[Mystic Mock]

Imo she was, David actually showed some improvement on last week I thought.

Makes a change , usually they keep the worst dancers in for giggles :rolleyes:.

[LukeB]

People are way too harsh on Anneka Rice, she’s 61 who never danced in her life unlike Karim and Kelvin. She tried her best, she was good last week but fast dance isn’t her strength. She tried

[joeysteele]

Imo she was, David actually showed some improvement on last week I thought.

He did Mock.

Really I couldn't believe Anneka's performance.
From start to finish it was nothing like dancing.
I can't believe they did such a routine.

[Vanessa]

Kelvin has a lot of dancing experience. I like him, but it shows.
Karim is nowhere near his level. But I find him more fun to watch.

[Vanessa]

There are a lot of good dancers this year. It's going to be very tough.

[Denver]

Kelvin has a lot of dancing experience. I like him, but it shows.
Karim is nowhere near his level. But I find him more fun to watch.

I mean you do realise Karim is the most experienced Celeb?

[Mystic Mock]

He did Mock.

I can't believe they did such a routine.

Same here Joey, it made me laugh in a car crash kinda way, but I would've seriously thought that this show was having an X Factor if they'd have eliminated David over Anneka tonight when like you've said, how on earth did this routine get created?:laugh:

[GoldHeart]

Kelvin has a lot of dancing experience. I like him, but it shows.
Karim is nowhere near his level. But I find him more fun to watch.

I noticed the men get let off for dance experience but the women seem to get a harder time which isn't always fair. Obviously depending on the person as some are just popular regardless of gender.

I've always said though that strictly has never been a level playing field entirely, obviously they'll be celebs with musical theatre backgrounds & some dance experience but it's still a new ball game for them .

If people want a competition with complete zero experience dance virgins then I think we'd just have politicians & newsreaders which would be boring :joker: :rolleyes: .

[Vanessa]

I mean you do realise Karim is the most experienced Celeb?

No, I think Kelvin is. Karim struggles with everything. But he works hard.

[Vanessa]

Obviously, I know Karim can dance. But Kelvin seems to be on another level.
Hopefully next week Karim will get the scores he deserves.

[Amy Jade]

Karim is a trained classical dancer, he was in big shows like Chitty so how you can make out he's less trained than Kelvin in almost comical.

[Vanessa]

Karim is a trained classical dancer, he was in big shows like Chitty so how you can make out he's less trained than Kelvin in almost comical.

He still doesn't know ballroom and Latin.

[Amy Jade]

He still doesn't know ballroom and Latin.

Have you seen Chitty? the dancing in it is insane! He's highly trained you just chose to ignore it because you're lusting after him.

[Morgan.]

At the end of the day its a dancing show, the weakest dancers get eliminated and the strongest stay.

Also might I add theres a fair amount of hypocrisy in the public when it comes to ‘trained dancers’. Many fawned over the likes of Ashley and Faye last year and defended them with the ‘no ballroom experience’ line, but as soon as two male dancers who also have forms of experience are there suddenly the tables turned.

And thats not aimed at anyone in particular its just a general observation.

[Amy Jade]

Ashley wasn't a musically trained stage actress though, Karim is. Ashley was literally a burlesque dancer.

I have seen 2 of the three plays I know Karim was in, Chitty and The Lion King and if he danced like they did in the shows I saw he has a distinct advantage. Considering this I am far more impressed with the likes of Michelle, Kelvin and Cath who have been great so far and have no experience.

[Amy Jade]

Also Morgan that **** can be flipped too.

Alexandra and Ashley who had some experience were bloody hounded for it, Alex was driven to tears after being relentlessly attacked for 'pretending to struggle' yet very little is said about Karim who went to bloody Sylvia Young and has been in at least three major theater productions.

Fair enough about Karim tbh

My comment was more geared towards the kelvin comments really

Oh yeah totally, although a lot of the hounding came after the first couple of weeks (Ashley especially, she was loved until about 1/4 of the way through i seem to remember).

[Amy Jade]

Ashley was regularly the best performer, if Karim was I would have no issue saying so but tonight for me he was pretty poor when you account for his experience, that's all I am saying.

[Amy Jade]

Danny Mac and Jay from The Wanted had about the same level of training as people like Alex and Ashley had and I don't remember any of those two getting hate like Alex and Ashley either.

The Alex hate was so vicious.

I noticed the men get a pass depending on who they are of course , and certain women get a hard time .

Alexandra was given horrible hate & grief online , yet Joe had a musical dance background and was praised & won .

So yep definitely hypocrisy & inconsistency as Jill Half penny was clearly a trained dancer but was loved yet last year Ashley was slated for previous experience & found herself in the bottom 3 times or something ? .

[Twosugars]

Yeah women are always treated more harshly when it comes to experience
By other women too

[GiRTh]

Strictly hit the movies but whilst some of the couples were a box office smash the others flopped and found themselves in the Dance Off. Fortunately I have all the movie spoilers you could possibly crave. And the results! So here are the results: David and Anneka had to dance off. The judges saved David. Anneka was eliminated! Complaints to the BBC This week’s spoiler has come from an audience mole sourced by one of the groups I work with and should be accurate.

It's clear Kevin was disappointed with Anneka ever since he found out he was paired with her so he didn't even bother putting a good routine together for last night. I'm pleased he is out early this year

[GoldHeart]

What the hell was that routine !???:facepalm: , they just skipped and ran about there was no dancing or Charleston steps .

[Vanessa]

Have you seen Chitty? the dancing in it is insane! He's highly trained you just chose to ignore it because you're lusting after him.

He doesn't know all the different dances. Same as Kelvin. But they have some dancing experience.
I know some of the others have also danced before.

[Vanessa]

It's good that we all have different opinions. Of course we're not going to agree all the time.
I just enjoy watching the show, it's the highlight of my Saturday night. :laugh:
There are so many good dancers this year, we're going to lose some good ones soon. :(

[Nicky91]

glad David survived that dance off :love: i enjoyed watching his american smooth


next week i worry big time for Lady Emma, because then she's due a latin and she could be in trouble if anywhere near bottom half of leaderboard :mad:

[GoldHeart]

Yeah women are always treated more harshly when it comes to experience
By other women too

Like I said if people want a competition with complete beginners with zero experience then all we'll have is politicians & Newsreaders , it would be boring.



It's not the celebrities fault if they have a dance background, they were picked to be on the show. And obviously if they're actors ,singers ,in the entertainment business then obviously they're going to have some experience. I don't like double standards .

Ed Balls was popular because he tried his best, he wasn't in it to be comedy act, unlike what katya now does with breakfast boy bushell


so the diverse celeb slots like politicians, newsreaders, royalty related (although the viscountess qualifies as a fashion model or as a businesswoman or in the chef slot)


what i love about lady emma is she started with no dance, no stage experience, and she is starting to develop into a dancer, last night i thought her effort at performing was good for a non-actress

so i hope producers won't kill her journey by throwing some random stupid too upbeat song onto her

if a latin, i prefer rumba i think, since she has done cha cha in week 1, she can learn from judges critique there in the rumba, and i think she is able to pull off some bit more glamorous version of the rumba



next out should be breakfast boy, and i cannot stand him at all, his whole ''look at me i'm the joke act and being proud of it'' crap :notimpressed:

We <3 Mike bushall!!

[Shaun]

Will be interesting to see who lands in the bottom with David next week, everything else has been pretty obvious so far.

[sleleen]

People in here who put Alexandra and Ashley down for dance experience but having no problem having Karim as their fave is interesting

[Vanessa]

Karim is nowhere near the level of Ashley.

[Morgan.]

Karim is nowhere near the level of Ashley.

:joker:

[Cherie]

Anneka was woeful, there wasn't one dance step in her routine, just running around basically

[Vanessa]

:joker:

He said it himself, he always struggles with the dances. But he does work hard.

[sleleen]

He said it himself, he always struggles with the dances. But he does work hard.

Working hard has nothing to do with dance experience

[Vanessa]

Working hard has nothing to do with dance experience

He has done theatre school, but so as Kelvin. And probably some of the others.

[RileyH]

it's an entertainment show who honestly cares about who has done a dance class before and who hasn't

[Morgan.]

Yeah no idc either just dunno why people have one rule for one and another for another

[Liam-]

Karim is literally trained in ballet like Debbie was, difference being, Debbie hadn’t done it for about 40 years :laugh:

It’s funny what you can get away with if you have a penis

[Vanessa]

He's not the only one to have dance training in there.

[Vanessa]

it's an entertainment show who honestly cares about who has done a dance class before and who hasn't

I agree. I vote for who entertains me the most. And that's Karim. But we all have our favourites

[Morgan.]

He's not the only one to have dance training in there.

But he has a considerably larger amount of it than the others

[Liam-]

On another note though, no more Kevin being rammed down our throats :love:

[Vanessa]

But he has a considerably larger amount of it than the others

I think Kelvin has more. He can dance anything. Karim doesn't find it all easy like he does

[Vanessa]

Most celebrities have been to theatre school. So they may already have rhythm and musicality.

[Vanessa]

If Karim had the most dancing experience, he would be top of the leader board every week. But he isn't.

[Nicky91]

:notimpressed:

umm Lady Emma, David James surely have no experience before strictly, rough starts but they are getting there now, maybe in different leagues compared to ringers Visage, Kelvin, Karim, Catherine, Saffron but i enjoy watching them in training, enjoying every second, every minute of their journeys (from nothing to dancer)

[Amy Jade]

I think Kelvin has more. He can dance anything. Karim doesn't find it all easy like he does

You can think what you like but dealing in facts and not delusion; Karim is by far and away the cast member with most experience, no matter how you try and shift gears. Karim is trained in ballet, has been in the cast of multiple musical theater productions which have multiple dance numbers in them...how are you sitting here telling us Kelvin has more training?

[Amy Jade]

If Karim had the most dancing experience, he would be top of the leader board every week. But he isn't.

Because Kelvin and Michelle especially have better rhythm. Doesn't change the fact Karim is a professionally trained ballet dancer.

[Amy Jade]

I wouldn't say anyone is cheating, over the years we have had people on with different levels of training from before the show.

For my mind ai am always just more impressed with true novices at first, but Kelvin has no dance training I am aware of whereas Karim is a ballet dancer and has theater credits in roles that require dance experience and training so am I as impressed with a professionally trained dancer being quite good or Michelle Visage who has very little if any experience...Michelle 100%

[Amy Jade]

Michelle :laugh3: what a joke to call her a beginner, she has performing experience, character experience, dance experience

she's more the female john barrowman in terms of ringer-level


also that smug look on her face during results show, i saw them sweat at first but then after revealed through ''we knew it we would go through'' VILE

What performance experience does she have? She's 50 and was in Seduction in her 20's but if you watch any of their performances their dancing is clearly very basic.

Is she simply your current hate target who you'll hurl abuse at until called out and then flip and support her?

[Liam-]

You dare come for Michelle!

[Vanessa]

She's not a complete beginner, but I like her.
Now Chris is a beginner, and I think he's doing great.

[Vanessa]

The way Kelvin dances, I'd say he' has definitely had some dance training. He's not a complete beginner at all

[Vanessa]

Because Kelvin and Michelle especially have better rhythm. Doesn't change the fact Karim is a professionally trained ballet dancer.

Personally, I don't mind who has had dance training or not. I support the one who I find the most entertaining.

[Amy Jade]

The way Kelvin dances, I'd say he' has definitely had some dance training. He's not a complete beginner at all

He's actually told those who questioned him that he has no prior experience apart from the Full Monty which is basic. I did gymnastics and competitive dance for 5 years and some people just take to it that quick.

[Amy Jade]

Most celebrities have been to theatre school. They do some dance training in there.

It's literally the basic of basic though, again...Karim is a trained ballet dancer. You don't have to change your opinion, like who you like but that is a fact.

[GoldHeart]

Because Kelvin and Michelle especially have better rhythm. Doesn't change the fact Karim is a professionally trained ballet dancer.

Why does it matter so much? :rolleyes: , there's been quite a few celebs with ballet & other dance backgrounds so what ?.

Its an entertainment show

[Vanessa]

That doesn't necessarily mean he's going to be better than the others. Debbie had ballet training, but she still struggled with some dances.

[Barry.]

That doesn't necessarily mean he's going to be better than the others. Debbie had ballet training, but she still struggled with some dances.

Didn't you have a problem with Alexandra being s dancer though?

[Amy Jade]

Why does it matter so much? :rolleyes: , there's been quite a few celebs with ballet & other dance backgrounds so what ?.

Its an entertainment show

It doesn't matter to me, that's pretty much what I said.

We were just debating the differences between who is trained and not and on a forum dedicated to talking about the show surely that's okay?

Also no need to be condescending, I am aware it is an entertainment show but I can snd will discuss the show as I please.

[Vanessa]

Didn't you have a problem with Alexandra being s dancer though?

I didn't like her. That year I was supporting Aston.

[GoldHeart]

I wasn't being condescending :idc:
I don't care either but I find the double standards silly

[Vanessa]

I do think some of them are being undermarked. Like Alex, her rumba was good. And Karim.

[GoldHeart]

Yeah that happens every year unfortunately , I'm glad YouTube has added the scores after each clip as I never bother with the main show.

Some are also criticises more than others. Chris for a non dancer is doing brilliantly. The more the judges put him down, the more I like him :laugh:

Ive got a feeling Chris is popular with the viewers anyway :joker:

[Vanessa]

I like his close friendship with Karim. These two clowning around make me laugh :joker: He's so nice and down to earth, he's easily becoming my second favourite

[Vanessa]

I'm not voting for anyone who is at the top three. I would rather vote for those who need it. Like Karim and Alex. Who are good, but are undermarked
