Strictly Come Dancing: Week 9 Results


Good golly Miss Molly, what was that?

I'm not talking about Kenny getting voted off. Yeah, yeah. We knew that was going to happen. We don't care. We're moving on. We're mostly just happy this means that there won't be constant cutaways to Gabby / VT of Kenny and Gabby at home / mentions of how Gabby should not have been voted out. YES SHE SHOULD. SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN VOTED OUT. WE'RE GLAD THAT SHE'S GONE. SHE WAS VOTED OUT BECAUSE WE DIDN'T LIKE HER. THAT'S HOW DEMOCRACY WORKS. STOP SHOWING SUCH CONTEMPT FOR YOUR AUDIENCE.

Ahem.

No, I'm talking about the Matt - Flavia - Vincent love triangle.

Think back to Saturday - yes, I know I told you to forget, now remember - where Tess was all jokes about Matt and Flavia being a couple and dancing the dance of love, and Matt was looking panicky and tearful and saying things like "Yes, I pretend I'm in love with her" and Flavia was deploying her best "I'm dancing in uncomfortable shoes but the show must go on" smile. Footage from training, however, showed flirtation beyond the call of duty and some neck kissing. YES. REMEMBER THE NECK KISSING.

Then, in tonight's show - filmed only a few hours later on Saturday, remember - Vincent and Flavia are announced as doing a special solo dance, "a very romantic waltz". That's Flavia, and Vincent. Her (official) boyfriend. They come on dressed as extras from Swan Lake and do what indeed turns out to be a very romantic waltz, which ends up with Vincent holding her and - yes - KISSING HER NECK.

What is going on? What? What? Is Flavia with Matt? Is Flavia with Vincent? Is Flavia with Matt *and* Vincent? Is she in transition between the two? Or back and forth and back and forth and back and forth? Who has the neck kissing rights? Was Vincent stirring up trouble between his ex and her new lover? Was the neck kissing part of the dance? Or was it sincere?

I must know! I must! These questions are never properly addressed on Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two! And what am I going to do if Matt gets voted off and chooses not to sell his story to a tabloid newspaper? I'll never find out! I can't bear it! I cannot be denied!

[long exhalation...]

And you thought this was a dancing competition?

I have heard that Matt is actually getting jiggy with Alesha and the whole Flavia thing is just a front.

Oh, and how many of the male professionals fulfilled a lifetime ambition when they danced with Kylie? One or two I reckon.

And what about Gethin and Camilla? Probably nothing going on but I have my suspicions and they would make a lovely couple.

Omg!! I must know too!! They looked so beautiful in the waltz, and Vincent looked sad, and Flavia didn't really make eye contact, and WHAT IS GOING ON?!?!?! In case you haven't noticed, I'm quite distraught!! Please let me know if you find anything out!!!

I must admit that sitting at home I do think how swoonsome it must be to have a man dance with you like that, and it must be hard not to become a little flirty.
I had high hopes for Alesha and her lovely partner falling in love to make up for that awful LOVE RAT HARVEY.

But talk of the show has to be Gethin getting his groove on, talk about coming out of his shell!

Surely Matthew Cutler more likely to fall in love with Gethin than Alesha? Or am I reading that all wrong?

Well, I do think Flavia is absolutely gorgeous. With a body like that and a talent as great as hers... if you are working with her day in, day out it must be difficult not to fall in love. Remember, finally we are getting dancing styles that are romantic after years of jumping around a floor to crap music. I do like the change. And I for one do love Flavia. Can I call her for a date now? LOL
