We saw Gabby say goodbye to the SCD competition which was the biggest upset so far since the series began in 2004. Clearly Kate or Kenny should have been out of the competition. As people are saying this is a dancing competition and NOT a popularity contest like being on Big Brother or I’m a Celebrity Get me Out of Here. Some of those dancers are putting a lot of effort in training, sacrificing the time they spend with their family, one such example is Gabby and yet she’s out of the competition! Is this fair? And there are others who are just lazy and do only 2 hours of training per day like Kate. Well now the joke’s over, and viewers should seriously vote for the best dancers and not the worst. I don’t know who was the better dancer out of Gabby and Penny, but certainly Gabby was better at technical steps than Penny and Penny can do the expressions better than Gabby. Anyway the judges decided to keep Penny in as Penny’s performance on the dance off was better than Gabby’s. But I think that overall Gabby is better at all the different types of dances and I really admire her for all the cartwheels and splits that she does, being a 34 year old Mum.

Well, I’m not that keen on watching the show anymore. Normally when Friday comes I’m all excited about Saturday’s SCD show, but I think I might just do something else rather than watch that show where a bunch of people are stumbling and embarrassing themselves in-front of the nation!

Last night’s show was a very entertaining show, where we saw the couples either do an American Smooth or a Samba. Matt scored the highest from the judges, 36, for his flawless American Smooth.  Arlene said his dance was ‘absolutely fantastic with smooth lands and lifts’. Bruno said that Matt was in control and charismatic!. The lowest scorer was Kate who got only 16 for her stumbling performance of Samba. Poor Anton had to drag her around the floor, where she seemed to have given up half way through the dance. Craig said to Kate that her dance was entertaining but for all the wrong reasons. Arlene said that she was more like a dancing quail than a dancing queen.

We saw the two brunettes, Alisha and Kelly do the American Smooth where they scored 33 and 34 respectively. Bad boy Brendan had put three lifts into the choreography, where actually they were only allowed two. Craig said that if he had followed the rules then Kelly would have got a 10 from him.

Kenny did a Samba where he scored 18. It was hilarious to watch Kenny do the Samba, to me it looked more like a Paso Doble, where he was stalking behind Ola with his arms flared and had an evil smile on his face. Craig said that it was a dance disaster! Mrs Logan got some funny comments for her Samba, which got 30. Craig said that she was limping around like a wounded mule and Arlene said that she was like a sparrow pecking crumbs.

It was a night full of drama where we saw John nearly drop her dance partner Nicole in the last lift. He got 22 from the judges. We saw Kate nearly injure Anton with her disastrous Samba and Kenny nearly ate Ola with his Samba!

In the results show last Sunday we saw Willie and Erin leave the show, let’s see who will be leaving this week. I doubt it’ll be Kate, as the viewers like Anton, and he’ll be getting the votes which’ll save Kate!

We saw tonight the competition really kicking off with all the male and female celebrities dancing off either the Tango or the Jive. The couple with the highest score was Alisha and Matthew, 36 and the lowest was for Kate and Anton, 19.

Alisha, Kelly, Gabby and Matt got scores which were above 30 from the judges. But there seemed to be a bit of unfair marking from the judges, Arlene gave the same score of 7 to both Gabby and Gethin. The total score from the judges for Gethin was 29 and for Gabby this was 31. We saw that Gabby was far better than Gethin on her dance but Arlene gave the same score of 7 to both of them. I think Arlene fancies Gethin and is just jealous that Gabby can do cartwheels and splits. Even Kenny was much better than Gethin but Kenny only got 25. I don’t think the judges like the

Last week we saw Stephanie and Letitia in the dance off which was very unfair. Kate was the one who got the lowest score from the judges, which was 15 out of 40. I know she has been through a lot with the injury but Stephanie did not deserve to go. Let’s hope the viewers will vote to keep the people in the middle of the score bored. That’s the most dangerous place to be, if Alisha and someone else was in the dance off atleast we know the judges will keep Alisha. But if Willie and Penny were to dance off then we will see Willie saying goodbye to the show!

It’s the first week of SCD and we saw the men dancing tonight . Compared to last year’s first week the standard was a lot better. All the men have done their best to stay in the competition and I thought the cutest was Gethin and the most likable was Willie.

I have to say that Matt disappointed me very much. Being the youngest contestant on the show he didn’t come out and give all his energy.

Let’s see who will be out first on tomorrow night’s results show.
