EPISODE FOURFeeesh - noo, it's the same as what happened with Baby Jakesipoo last season. I knew he was more useless than everyone else and yet I really wanted him to stay to find out more about him.
There's something intriguingly mysterious about sportsmen and their inability to do anything except excel at their sport and you never get these types of opportunities to see them up close in a different context.
This coupled with seeing those slurpy tatoos on Mark's arms made me grab my phone for the first time this season to madly SMS to save him - which sadly didn't work obviously.
I also had a whole super-juicy story going on in my head about how him and Hayley had to negotiate complicated social dymamics to pretend they weren't attracted to one another. As a result, when Mark said goodbye I couldn't decide whether his relief at leaving was because he didn't have to dance anymore or because his mother-in-law was watching.
The only consolation is that everyone else who remains is starting to get their lurve groove on big time. Freedom and Mary are thick as thieves and if both weren' t so focused on their careers they'd be spending happy evenings together, Riaan's nuzzling Hayley 2's neck and the way Tamara and Brandon kept the floor alight after their bonfire suggested lots of heat between them.
Have you noticed how Brandon's changed? When the series started he was all over the place like a bunny on speed and yet as he and Tamara have danced more he's gotten calmer and gives everything over to her in the same ways a fab lover who knows his stuff does.
And of course there's the whole knee guzzling, teasing "we get along so well but we're just friends who kiss and stare into each others eyes a lot," that's happening between Dingaan and Phemelo.
Dingaan's changed in the most remarkable ways too. At the start he was a skinny stiff frown and yet this week he couldn't stop smiling in delight while flinging himself off all over place in those hysterical pointy heeled shoes of his.
They've defs got it baad and I just don't see them being able to deny it for much longer so I'm thinking that next week the cameras must either skullduggerously snoop in on the truth or they must 'fess-up or something.
The only two who haven't caught it are Jeannie D and Anthony which must be because Anthony's not as
big as Michael Wentink who managed not to drop her. I must say seeing Anthony have root canal was a little more information than I needed to know.
I agreed with the judge who said Jeannie needs to give him more by way of seeing him as her man and I reckon he and Grethe would actually been more suited in both size and general being while Jeannie might have managed to put Horrible Harold firmly in his place.
The actual dances they did were unfairly biased I thought - the Paso Dobla or whatever was very cool but the Fox Trot totally sucks. I thought it would a foxy, trotty upbeat free sort of jive but it was so awkwardly stiff and foot heavy it didn't impress me at all.
It was also the worst thing that the Fishlet could have done to look bad - although if they'd paso'd the doubla things might have gotten way too hot.
As for who I was keen on seeing whacked instead of him - it was either Jeannie D or Riaan.
