Strictly Who?

"plus the superb dancing skills of the slim nubile young professional female dancers"

You need more bromide in your cocoa,K.

A very large dose!

Yes indeed.  The pound went a week last Saturday.  Didn't even make it to Blackpool.  However, I think the contest is quite close.  Quite a few good dancers left in.

Agree.

I wish I'd drawn Stacey Dooley in your sweepstake - I think she's a remarkable talent 

I think/hope Ashley wins but the trouble is it's not a dance comp but a popularity comp.

I think it's less of a popularity show than the X-factor!.....and at least the judges make some constructive comments on Strictly.  I think the judging on X-factor is poor to non-existent, and the format is floored - essentially, the exit act is determined by two of the 4 judges - the other two appear to think they have a vested interest in 'their' acts!

I think, like most TV shows, it's cleverly rigged for maximum audience participation but it's an enjoyable format. 

Last night that Ballas woman completely screwed up announcing the points scores and got a Professional Dancer's name completely wrong. ---------------As a Dancing show Strictly entertains,, but would be much better without that Shirley Ballas as a judge.

Dont know who's tablet was to blame for Saturday's Lindy Hop cock-up, but what was most fascinating was to see the judges "favourite" Ashley voted into the bottom two by the public!

She is very unpopular on "unsocial" media with Stacey and Joe being firm favourites. Perhaps being a professional dancer to start with is no longer working in her favour albeit she's an excellent one

Is that the stuff they put in our tea when doing National Service?  If so, I think it might be begining to work.
