Juts read the article in RT (in Smiths don't buy it) re Strictly Come Dancing and it looks dire - no Brucie and a guest list of no-one I have ever heard of except that coarse fruit and veg man and Andy Murray's sour faced mother. I suppose I will get sucked in but I think its a record and wiz through job now - I like watching the professional dancers but can't stand the rubbish that Tess talks. Will you be watching?
I con't suppose Beethoven knew he was writing music for an Argentine tango! However, the 5th symphony worked very well for those dance moves. What an original idea!
I'd say that Tess has got stale now. She's been doing Strictly for too long. Why not make Darcy the presenter and take on Karen Hardy as a judge - she would carry more authority than most.
I agree Whitewave I too try to miss all the dross, especially Tess who says mostly the same things every week such as
'Come on over my darlings' 'they put everything they had into that dance'
I say bring back Katie Boyle, not literally if she is dead. I remember the time when presenters could actually present, or am I just imagining better days ?
Got to the stage of recording it now and then skipping all the nonsense like the judges prancing in and silly chit chat and just watching the dances and points. Do the same on Sunday. It has got very same-y and boring.
I think they were so good they made every performance look easy but it was always filled with moves on the female part, meaning the celebrity had to show their capabilities.
The judges had commented on Simon using 'clicks of the fingers' to hide his sometimes poor hand shape. Len you were wrong on this one!
I think it is fair to say that every dancer left would/could have been in the finals in past contests but Pixie was consistently good and the two of them even won the Waltz Off.
I wonder if the newspaper report swayed some voters too.
Still trying to work out what all the blue stuff at the start was all about. Its all getting increasingly boring. Len appeared to have a bit of a spat. Lighten up, people, its only telly not the holy grail!
I think Len made the correct decision, Pixie's legs have never been good as far as I've seen, and Simon did a good dance. I think Caroline or Frankie could win.
I honestly thought that Jake would be in the dance-off, although I thought that his dance was hilarious and very difficult, his waltz in the group dance was awful. I do not think he will progress much further. Glad Simon is back with us, he has done so well, not too sure about Mark. I would like to see some (what I call) proper ball-room dancing by all of them at some point.
