Does anyone know where they are filming the demonstration dance sequences with professionals shown on It Takes Two Sorry it's taken so long @caiaphas, old bean, but, as you will appreciate, it takes quite a while to visit every luxury hotel in London. I may be wrong, but I think the Strictly ballroom is actually the Palm Court at The Waldorf. Unfortunately, I'm not yet as IT literate as your good self, but here's the link: www3.hilton.com/en/hotels/united-kingdom/the-waldorf-hilton-london-LONWAHI/event/conferences.html . Please have a look and tell me what you think. |

Will throw in leg warmers for free now. Btw, are you watching The Apprentice? Last night Joanna was wearing... a CAPE!!!!!  |

Footwork, dear boy, footwork, and a process of elimination. Looks fab, doesn't it? I've never made it into the Palm Court, but I have been known to use the lavatory at The Waldorf.
That's very generous of you. I need them in this weather.
BTW, no I'm not. Perhaps the BBC bought a job lot, at a discount. That's three in five days. It'll be Fiona Bruce next!!!

On It Takes Two just now - they said Mollie and AJ are dancing the Rumba to Hopelessly Devoted To You... which sounds a marginally better choice than I Dreamed a Dream! That's at least better in terms of theme if not rhythm! Makes the Strictly website team look pretty stupid if they can't even get that right though! The website now has an "UPDATE", Hopelessly Devoted confirmed. |

Black for Debbie and yellow for Alexandra. Doomed That show is desperate for the Burke-bot to be in the final for some reason. I hope Joe sneaks in and wins the whole thing now. Craig will be beside himself with rage. |

Craig will be beside himself with rage. For what seems like the hundred millionth time, your insistence on referring to Alexandra Burke in a derogatory manner is not only undermining any valid points you might be making, it's rude, childish and frankly offensive. There's no reason for it and I think you should apologise and think before you post next time. |

There's no reason for it and I think you should apologise and think before you post next time. No, I don't think I will. You may of course always ignore as I believe there is a function for it. I myself have done this on many occasions. 17. How can I ignore certain users? We do hope that it won't become necessary, but if you really want to ignore a user, here's how to: a, go to Profile in the menu bar below the banner b, click on the Edit Profile button c, go to the Privacy tab and scroll down to Member Block List d, enter the member-to-block's name in the box, choose them from the pop-up menu and tick the appropriate boxes e, if you want to ignore more members, continue with step d. Once you're finished, click on the Save Privacy Settings button OR you can also ignore a member by clicking on their user name, then click on the small arrow down on the i button on the very right, choose Block Member, tick the appropriate boxes and confirm. If you changed your mind and want to un-ignore a member, click on the small x next to their name in the Member Block List You can of course report the post too and the moderators can take the action they believe appropriate, which can include banning me and which may work better for you: 14. How do I complain about a post that I find offensive? We hope that users of TheatreBoard take care not to insult other users and are tolerant of each other's little foibles. However, if you find a post offensive, select 'Report this post' from the drop-down menu that appears in the top right hand corner of every post - the moderators will then be notified and will take appropriate action. This may include discussing the issue privately with the poster, removing a posting, locking a threat or in extreme circumstances, temporarily or permanently banning a user. Moderators, as poster J has mentioned in their original post above that they find my post "offensive", I think for fairness you should take that message as a valid complaint as per the FAQs on the site and deal with it as you see fit. In case you haven't seen this message, I have also taken the opportunity to report it myself. Rules are there to be followed and the consequences of such rules should be accepted, which I do so fully and wholeheartedly. If, as a result, a ban is necessary I'd like to take a moment to use my last message to thank everyone for the ridiculously enjoyable time I've had on this board and to wish everyone the most delightful festivities. |

I thought that too. Seems a bit odd. They do choose odd songs don’t they? Is Mary Poppins a character from a show...originally..Er, I think a movie. So then why not other movies like Frozen? Or a million others? And Cabaret is so specialised. Then why not 42nd St, a great dance song. Oh well.

Will Rumba be the end of Mollie?

Helly Dolly risks being Farewell Gemma - Nice frock (for once) but there was too much faffing on the stairs at the beginning (which I know echos the original) but she looks petrified throughout. She is not good enough to go much further

Now was get a Hopelessly Devoted Rumba (the gags write themselves with that music choice...)
Costumes look reasonably similar to the film though AJ should be in leather.
Too much pre-dance faffing - again. Very little real Rumba feel - more like a show dance .
Dull and and quite hopeless for her future in the competition.

So goodbye, Molly.....
An illegal lift and she still gets a 9? Ridiculous

It seems that Craig and Darcy are the only ones prepared to be honest about the dance content - which is a shame.

Ridiculous over-marking for that Rumba - 6/7 was right. 9s - ridiculous

Will Joe's Samba be on the Money, Money...?
Hate his make-up.
Slip up at the beginning with the vocal timing. The music is wrong for a Samba - it fits a Charleston
Style is just all wrong. Doesn't work as a latin number.

And shut us Tess.
The judges are being too kind. It is almost as if they have a favourite they are trying to push.
This is a dance that should get 7/8 - but it will score higher.

Will Debbie's American Smooth leave her with a happy Memory?
Great costume for her, his hair looks a bit too Wolverine
The neck spin was spectacular
It had a nice feel overall

Will Davood's AT be the Dance of the Night??
After the clunky and inelegant start, I doubt it. His footwork doesn't seem crisp enough. Some tentative moves in the lifts. The music doesn't allow for that real AT spirit to emerge.
Didn't like it at all. Too much flinging around and not enough real AT content.
