Austin Healey and Erin Boag - Strictly Come Dancing 2008 Round 3 - BBC One

[brendanbutterworth]

I am also more fit and hotter than him too

[brendanbutterworth]

I could do better than than that

[sootycat21]

My favourite jive EVER on Strictly - I even preferred it to Jill Halfpenny's one.

[sootycat21]

The best duo on Strictly that year. They were robbed!!!

[TheAdelaidehall]

@sootycat21 The best duo on SCD EVER! They WERE robbed!!!

[anygoodatdancin]

I wish my dancing uploads were as good as this

[Raichu234]

awsome jumpy scrum half! Go on Austin! :)

[natalieb16]

He's FIT!!!

[Doctor7865]

He was a bit hesitant in places

[xXanthex]

i hate the camerawork used in scd in general tbh

[xiheartcherx]

he's hot.

[LeopoldStotchRules]

Oh dear, he's very hoppy isn't he? No wonder he didn't win :O

[panzci]

i like the costume girlie

[sootycat21]

My favourite Jive of the whole series! Love it!

[darski2007]

boy this is lousy camera work. let the dancers be the stars

[sootycat21]

Pure class! They should have made it to the final - they were robbed!

[ReelJen]

I never tire of this. *Swoon*

[jesanm]

ohh so nice i love ittt

[kebabqueen17]

LOVE IT!!!

[vickvicki]

This is fun!!!

[strictlygal]

I was gutted they didn't make it to the final, they should have won in my opinion.

[jackburkemusic]

je l'adore

[Bedi99]

Yes, he was better than Lisa. Of course!

But he wasn't good enough to win and this dance was pretty ordinary.

[lobbielou]

ROBBED!

[thexxameliexx]

J'aime !!

[natureangel2]

I must admit I have watched all the series of Strictly and this dance is my favourite and Austin was robbed, he should have won!

[littlesarah24]

now i get why austin and erin danced in this years semi final

when the cast of hairspray performed!

[honeycookie131]

i luv her dress!!!!

[gerrardbabie]

my order for best jive is 1st . jill and darren

2nd austin and erin 3rd louisa and vincent

[phoebegrove]

Mine are

1. Jill & Darren

2. Louisa & Vincent

3. Alesha & Matthew

4. Austin & Erin

But notice that my top 3 are women. Austin has had the best & most memorable Jive from the men.

[Voyeuristik]

My god he so unquestionably should have won.

[mauritani987654]

ppfft. n importe quoi. 0

[LoverNewYork]

Still can't believe Austin and Erin didn't win, this jive was amazing and in week 3 aswell :)

[MelanieSmellany]

He definitely should have been in the final instead of Lisa. YAWN!

[bluedog1123]

The best person on that series he should of won it!!!! he was so much better than everyone else

[Leslie2930]

Totally agree that Austin should have won it!

[mehdikd]

Austin should have won it

[evermore0011]

@mehdikd I couldnt agree more

[rollerballrico]

think this is the best dance on strictly ever!!! for weeks 3 and how it was done is great :)

[scotth4561]

i cant believe alesha is the new judge! NO WAY! Bring Arlene back!

[TheEmmawilliams]

they are both good what were there names again

[trirobyn123]

@ partootie

do you realise.... this is only round 3!?

[Holbyfan23]

My favourite strictly dance so far, I wonder if series 7 will beat it ????

[ThatIzzyGirl]

These two were robbed. I hope we get to see them in the Xmas Special this year!

[xXxScoutxXx]

Wo do! Woop!

[siiemane]

I loved this last year! I can't wait for the new series! :)

[Alishafan1957]

i love his dance amzing seen austin play rugbey i think he is better at dancing !!

[393aliza]

shame, i used to love this show but since the bbc has exhibited such ageism andgeneral stupidity i don't think i could stand to watch it again

[pipkin3]

I know! Not only that, but replaced by someone who has no career as a dancer/choreographer!

[houghton538]

*##

[BST3foReveR]

k so... my brother's name is austin healey.

(yes, specifically named after the car. we have one too.)

[cuando1979]

completely agree

[XxTrollyDolly101xX]

The only problem is that Erin is an AMAZING ballroom dancer, hense why she specifically competed in just ballroom. Her jive may not as look as strong as the other pros that are as good as latin e.g. her amercian spins and drunken sailors were not as strong as they could be, however she still put an amazing performance on and thats why she is one of the PROS, because she is outstanding in ballroom and still looks good in latin

[SendinK9]

Is that guys real name Austin Healey??? Is he related to either Donald Healey or Leonard Lord of the BMC or did his mum have a bad sense of humar... Is he any relation???

[steroidsR4winners]

sub for a sub ?

[musicgeeeky]

why why whyyyyyy didnt they go further?!? they are obviously more talented than Lisa... maybe its cos austin couldnt do the tour and lisa could?

[siwy1991tcz]

oo cool

[lollilollalollipop]

austin should have been in the finals, not bitch lisa snowdan

[lobbielou]

yeah he should but lisa was good you have to admit - i HATED rachel!

[Userabroad]

They were fabulous, definitely should have got further into the final!

[Dancingdaniela]

I love the way Austin has danced this danced he's put fun and energy into it. And a big well done to Erin for making good choreography and music. Well done to them both!

[donny033]

what makes this so good is that Erin managed to get the highest score for a Jive and a Paso which are both latin dances and she's a ballroom specialist, just shows how talented she is :)

[Loufah123]

I completely disagree with you. She got such high scores because she had a superb partener. She in a poor latin dancer - if Len was critiquing her kicks and flicks I don't think he would be very positive. She nearly slipped at one point as well. Austin had more energy than her. Go back and look at their Cha cha cha - the routine was awful and did not deserve the scores it got......

[donny033]

she is not a poor latin dancer shes just not one of the strongest cos shes the best ballroom dancer on the show, and she is the one who is teaching this 'superb partner' she choreographed this jive and not him, she taught him hout to dance and he didnt learn of his own merit and surely the fact that this was the highest scoring jive counts which means that yes she is a good dancer, her routines r not awful and i like to see a trier and she for me is one who tries nd i hope she wins the show soon

[mooeybambooey]

it always makes me smile love austin and his guns he should have won in my opinion

[rayp5]

Also they have to create cheap show's that pull in revenue, charging everyone to call into the show, so they can pay the ridiculous wages, to some of the presenters and actors. If they want to be like like ITV, and Channel four, and the other channels that openly give give us rubbish, but don't contest it, then they should stop confusing the public, a survey showed that the BBC is loosing it's stamp of quality in the eyes of many. (It's a fact) but it's good to debate.

[rayp5]

What a stupid show!!!! BBC selling out as usual now. What has happened to British T.V? all they do is saturate us with old time C list celebs prancing around like idiots..and the BBC wonder why, they loose millions a year because people won't pay the license I wonder why..

[rayp5]

I understand that, this doesn't mean that it is a quality T.V show? the BBC are becoming like ITV, and the other channels that rely on advertising, and cheap formats that require countless, out of work minor celebs to make idiots of themselves, it's insulting that the BBC think of us, as people who will watch anything. Also, it's not a new format, one the BBC just reinvented.

[angelicpenelope]

i am not an austin fan but this Jive was fantastic! could watch it for hours and hours!

[natureangel2]

This is addictive viewing, I absolutely Love it! Shame he was knocked out but glad Tom won!

[mooeybambooey]

HE SHOULD OF ONE LOVE THIS GUNS

[mamitarebulera]

this is ridiculously good. i had never heard of the show because i'm from the states, but i was looking up rachel stevens and got pretty into it, so i wanted to see how the other candidates danced. rachel's good, but this? this is what i call REAL DANCING.

[XxCrazygal2007xX]

anyone else think that this dance deserved a least one 10?

[pguign]

Gorgeous lttle Austin, we love you !

[Charlierosea]

wankers

[missraa1]

who your parents??

[tolgatha]

this is fab wanted him 2 win but glad tom won

[ballroomdancer901]

this was good but it was slowed down so much it turned into more of a swing. One thing I don't like about the show is the outfits. they never play the music or dance style into the outfit. but dancing was good.

[seori]

I think it's slowed down because it's only his second dance. Have you seen this the second time he does it, in the final show? It's played faster (presumably the right speed) then, and it's really excellent.

[ballroomdancer901]

o wow, his second dance. I see. but I have to say even Erin is struggling with the speed, I guess she is used to doing jive fast/normal speed. it's really hard to slow down ur own style to fit ur partners though.

[ballroomdancer901]

ok so second round it was definitly a little faster. but the original song from Hairspray the musical is jive tempo. Its faster than both times he danced it. but dancing jive in full tempo is really hard.

[Gads100]

Paso/ Jive/Paso/Jive - I think the Jive just edged it but 2 fantastic dances

[videos2c]

Austin is a great dancer, what a nice guy too.

[musicgeeeky]

He should atleast have been in the final... seori, yes it was amazing second time round. And he is fit which helps :)

[chaoslord1234]

Austin has nice arms. :P

[forgiveninasong]

Amazing. It's a crime he didn't make it to the final!

[seori]

I know. How great was this the second time round?

[natureangel2]

If you think that then why are you still watching it, metalhead. I think secretly you love it!!!

[21crazygirl]

any1 no the nme of this song?

[seori]

It's 'You Can't Stop the Beat', from the musical Hairspray.

[Gads100]

It'a from the musical 'Hairspray' - you can't stop the beat

[nutter2106]

i think his paso doble was better lol

[enriqueisthebest]

im not middle aged, a queer and my cat hasnt just been run over, does that mean i have no right to watch and enjoy this? oh and leaving a coment on something you clearly hate, dont you think that makes you a bit of a loser?

[nickghosthunter]

well im GAY and watch the show,nothin QUEER about me dickhead,oh sorry metal!!

[TheBlackHorse92]

Still my favourite dance of the series, and the supercharged version they performed in the final was mindblowing, IMO eclipsed the latin efforts of the finalists!

[natureangel2]

Shame he didn't make the final, this was my fav dance of the series, other than Toms show one in the final. Metalhead your sad.

[SaSSyReBeL69]

Yeh people hate watching other people clearly enjoying yourselves. Sorry to hear about your cat.

[ncisrules1990]

I think they made a great couple, people have said they don't have chemistry I believe they do, great dance aswell

[CescRVP]

1:06-1:12 just sums up Austin & how much he enjoyed himself, LMAO. Gutted they are out. Hope they do this jive or the paso when they come back & perform in the finale.

[no1Bean2008]

does everyone perform in the final

[CescRVP]

Yep!

[chaballover]

Haha I lovelovelove Austin! I remember like a year ago telling my friends that he was gorge and they didn't believe me!!

Things have changed a lot since then LOL :P

[mmargaret28]

great dance sad he's gone

[ntube7]

That top makes him look sooo gay! Good dancer though, considering his build.

[molly1336]

A - MAZ- ING

[gazemilia]

you are fantastic and superkalafragalisticexpralados­es

[icecreamvanman22]

Oooooft! Austin is sooooo hot!

[Mrbiggerthanlife]

Love the bit where he walks to towards the judges and does those bits + kick. Its so so funny it almost looks arrogant :D -brill first dance though

[fpeakgirl]

When Erin choreographed this I believe Austin was reluctant to do the 'arrogant' bit. Glad they did as it is great. It was his second dance, the waltz was his first

[JellyFishBoy]

A-Ma-Zing

[bolivianex]

the progromme's for saddo's

[idiophreak]

Why the hell are you rewatching dances on youtube then saddo?

[bolivianex]

You don't think I actually watched this bunch of crap video do you.

(VOMITS UNCONTROLLABLY!!!)

[idiophreak]

You still searched it though didn't you? ;)

[madhousekeeper]

I love Hairspray, Strictly come dancing and I really like Austin marks: 10, 10, 10 and.... 10 (At least that's what It should be!)

I noticed that the singers missed a few words. I loved it all the same

[monkeysshouldbepink]

for some reason i dont like austin!

[gypwin]

sometimes the older ones surprise you.check out 'gypwin' or 'gentleman john on youtube.

[zajocla]

never mind JS what about AH, wow! never watched the show but i think i may now! he's loooooovely! and what a mover. twinkle toes with muscles! mmmmm

[deebee58]

Yes zajocla, isn't he gorgeous?!

Loving Austin!

[1cg12345]

john has left the competition everyone i am being serious! don't watch stricly on saterday!

[HowRoger]

What a strange way for self seeking making yourselves look at absolute idiot with two left feet on prime time TV!

Wake up! it takes real courage to go on to that Dance Floor! The back stage cammaraderie is genuine! JS is a serious political commentator Strictly has shown a charming warm side to him! However he is using sophistry arguments. Dancing is entertainment. JS isn't an honest contender for a Ballroom Trophy. Its simply he is there to Dance if not OFF. Votes for a non Dancers are VOID!

[HowRoger]

Wrong how bigoted can you be!

JS actually danced neatly in the early stages. This is popular ballroom dancing. Larger people are very often lighter on their feet. You are confusing Professional Dancing with Ballroom dancing!

JS entered a Ballroom Dancing Competition for a Trophy! This is for a Ballroom Dancing trophy. They are being marked not a Professional Dancers but as Ballroom Dancers!

[HowRoger]

JS is having nice long freebie FREE Professional Dance lessons and be paid for it by BBC license fee payers!

He signed on to a Dance competition has been paid to Dance! and isn't dancing!

The sophistry arguments is simply to pretend that Strictly Come Dancing is something other than a Dance competition. His appearance is what 2-3 minutes against an hour plus of dancing! Then like a petulant spoilt child he argues I am entertaining the public. Athletes and Dancing have always go together.

[Moggggpiano]

If it's purely a dance competition, why hasn't the worst dancer been eliminated? ALL of these people are being paid by the B.B.C. for nothing more than indulging in shameless self promotion. The B.B.C. invited Sargeant to add a comic element and it has backfired spectacularly because they thought he would be out after a couple of rounds. Now THAT'S funny.

J.S. for prime minister. VOTE J.S.

[Rampraflash]

Shameless self-promotion? I would say self-promotion is one element in a reality show, and yes Strictly is one of them. Do you think John is just taking part purely for the fun of it? BBC couldn't care less about who won the competition. Otherwise it would not have appeared in their own news slot. They only want ratings and more people stupid enough to vote for what ever reason. KERCHING!

[Moggggpiano]

Sargeant is taking part, like all of them, for self promotion. But the faux pa of including a contestant for comic effect who may go on to win the competition is very funny and a justifiable reason for voting I think. But I fundamentally agree with your sentiments. I'm drawing up a shortlist for the next series. How about Johnny Vegas, Heather McCartney or Stephen Hawking?

[Rampraflash]

If you want BBC to laugh all the way to the bank. Go ahead, mate. :)

I'll just sit back and enjoy the show. :D

[Moggggpiano]

Ramp The BBC DO laugh all the way to the bank, with my money and yours. And this is what we get for our investment, dancing rugby players!

[ierogirl08]

heather mills mccartneys allready done it but in america lol watch it shes soo bad!

[Moggggpiano]

Join the revolution. VOTE J.S.

[Iwantvoids]

The revolution for what?? What exactly are you trying to win by voting for the shittest dancer? John Sargent is so up his own arse at this point. He isn;t even trying, he doesn't care and it's an insult to the other contestants and their pro partners who are working really hard, especially the pros....this compettion means a lot to them and they aren't exactly millionaires. The best dancers/team desrve to win. Not the sympathy story.

[Moggggpiano]

The whole show is "up it's own arse". The fact that a public vote can undermine the whole fiasco is hilarious! It has nothing to do with sympathy. Are we so stupid in this country that we can't appreciate the arts unless the performance involves some ex-footballer or t.v. chef? Programmes like this insult the intelligence (for those that have it). If we replaced the "celebrities" with pro dancers, no one would watch. VOTE J.S.

[lavenderfielduk]

Ooops sorry seori I forgot to say thankyou!!

[lavenderfielduk]

Hmmm I never watched this show before, but I may give it a 'whirl' (lol) after seeing this. Sorry I am not being rude but who is he????

[seori]

He's a retired rugby player. Played for England and the Leicester Tigers. Glad he makes you want to see more!

[lavenderfielduk]

Oooh right, well he's very good :-)

[sumbodisosxc]

[adamjec12]

[14154144]

I think it was good but he must have had lessons...there's no way he can just be that good.

[seori]

He hasn't, and he's specifically denied having lessons. His footwork's great, but his arms really aren't yet.

[pratt68]

He studies videos on You Tube to see how the professionals do it.

[STRZADALA]

i love it it is best ever on strictly come dancing

[piprumsey]

I hate what he does at 1.10.

I absolutely love it.
