Anyone see Oti on celebrity Tipping Point this afternoon? (Yes, I am that bored!)

Her dress is only A-MAZ-ING! Looks like hand painted silk.

The fabulous figure inside it doesn't hurt, mind you !!!

So I missed the show last night so just caught the recap clips and the clip they showed of Oti and Kelvin they were out of time. So how did they get two tens??

Poor Anneka , in fairness she should be the one to go home tonight imo .

iamwhoiam

Anneka is lovely but genuinely had no dance abilities

F'king hell. How does someone even manage to butcher the titanic 'I'm flying jack' scene. Good Lord.

Kevin gave her his all. She couldn’t even be bothered doing anything in the dance off. She should have at least give it a go.

Anneka's attempt at the dance off was woeful. She knew she was gone, was the Saturday night version as bad as that?

It's genuinely one of the worst I've ever seen.

Postgrad10

Even Anne Widdicombe had more moves than that. Susannah Considine too for that matter.

Kevin got a good insight in to what it’s like being Anton.

Have to say that Neil is growing on me. I transferred my annoyance now to Janette. She's so super energetic and enthusiastic!!! It's probably because she's the polar opposite of me but God, she could dial it down a notch.
I like Giovanni and Michelle but not to the degree that others seem to.
Oti and Kelvin are brilliant but I wasn't wild about their Charleston.
I adore Amy and Karim, my absolute favourites. I think they were under marked for their Samba.
And I could watch Johannes all night, I think he's an amazing dancer.

Have you forgotten about Diarmuid Gavin?

I had blocked that one out !!


I think Alex and Neil have a lot of work cut out for them. Even getting her noticed for publicity for a start never mind the dancing.

Rylan is growing on me.

Omg the teeth. I needed oxygen for the laughter :pac:

Tess's totally lost it

Tess was totally unprofessional, no one had really noticed Anton saying they were his own teeth, she just embarrassed Craig and Anton, but mostly herself. She’s a dose.

It did look like Emma was trying to tell her it was embarrassing. But when something like that happens a d you lose it, there is no coming back. Maybe Craig could keep his comments to the dancing :P

Postgrad10

I think Craig was too far away to see Anton’s teeth. He was also too far away to hear Anton they are my own teeth. Craig didn’t say that intentionally.

It was clear as day he didn't say it intentionally.

He'll have that gig before long, he's made the cross over from ITV to the Beeb (he also has a decent weekend radio show on BBC Radio 1 or 2), they'll lock him down.

Zoe Ball's breakfast show isn't doing great either, I'd say she could be a goner.

pinkypinky

It's also possible that she wants to give it up - 5 shows a week on top of the radio job sounds pretty full on.

I felt really uncomfortable watching the comments about Anton's teeth, I felt sorry for poor Anton, he looked pretty mortified during the whole thing. I felt Tess was really unproffessional and the BBC shouldn't have put it up on the FB page afterwards. I know I wouldn't be happy with millions of people laughing and commenting about my teeth!

I'm not getting the love for Kelvin and Oti's charleston, I felt it was a bit all over the place. It was good, but not worthy of 10's IMHO. Same with Dev and Diane, their street dance didn't have a patch on Charles and Karen's from last year, felt to me like it didn't have a huge amount of content.

I think the judges are being harsh on Chris and Karen, I thought he did pretty well this week. Karen looked so beautiful! There are some very forgettable dancers this year, I struggle to remember Alex, Emma and Catherine. Why do they keep giving Catherine such drab costumes compared to the rest of the women???

God but Anneka really was the pits, I don't have a huge amount of rhythmn myself, but jesus, she couldn't even clap in time! My 5 year old has more co-ordination!

Think David will be next to go, god love him, he really is lumbering around the place.

Anneka was definitely better suited to ballroom dancing, if she had a waltz or something this week, she wouldn’t be gone.

I liked Kelvin and Oti’s Charleston but I didn’t think it was worthy of a ten. They were out of sync quite noticeably at times. Dianne and Dev were good but it didn’t really seem like a street dance, it seemed more like a Charleston.

Chris and Karen were undermarked, I thought their dance was beautiful.

I’m getting a bit sick of Motsi now, her feedback is so vague.

Postgrad10

The judges made a habit of being critical with Karen in the past even when she had good partners. Chris definitely has potential and they want him to get better. It’s the likes of Chris that makes it to the final. The underdog, untrained dancer , and with a likable personality. If he cuts out the funny faces and pays attention to Karen, he’s a contender.

Aliaz and Emma , Catherine and Johannes. Two more couples that could get better. They are making a gradual progression and that’s what the public like to see.

Heroditas

Their criticism of Karen is justified. She's by far the weakest of the pros and is a crap choreographer. I know amateurs who are far better dancers than she is.
Two words to explain why she's there: Jason Gilkinson

Postgrad10

I’m not too over awed with Jason
Gilkeson’s pro routines this year. Only dance I’ve enjoyed so far was Aljaz and Janette’s dance to Lewis Capaldi. Camera work is all over the shop too. What’s wrong with letting us see pro dancers up close, their footwork, facial expressions. I thought the movie week one was a mess, a load of different characters running around, doing very little dancing.

Remember that so well!

Postgrad10

Me too. It’s like it was yesterday. Just pure dancing. Those were the days.

I loved Karen Hardy. She always looked like she was having so much fun, especially in latin.

A lot of the current pros wouldn't be technically capable of doing that jive!
