Strictly Come Dancing 2013

C R-H's fan club is now out in full force on DS! There's a thread entitled 'Craig for head judge'...or something like that!

...and there's a lot of appreciation for Kevin's Paso and his moody side!

Hi everyone got the internet back on again after a few days of it missing again, well last night why do they keep giving Nat the top votes?? to me she was out of step on more than one occasion during her number. Mark was a lot better than normal but poor Fiona she should have stayed at home tbh Sophie was back on form glad to see just hope she keeps it up. Susanna was wonderful she gets the faces right every time for her dances, well we seem to be getting down to the best dancers just hope the public don't make a popularity contest.

[Ladygardener]

carolann I agree with you about Natalie.

Jasmine, I must check those threads out in DS. Some folk on there really do get up on their high horses and take things soooo seriously. Still I could do with a laugh.

[Jasmine]

I have to say I agree with the posts on DS about Len having very obvious favourites. I've not noticed it in past years but he really, really didn't want Hairy Dave to go!!

I had to chuckle Ladygardener...lots of forums have high horse folk...there was a right old quarrel about Bloomerang on one forum - life is too short!

[Tig]

When I read some of the posts on DS I wonder what the world is coming to! Some people can be so spiteful and vindictive, there is no need for it in my opinion. They should be able to communicate their point of view without resorting to such juvenile behaviour and insulting people.

Just been checking out the weather in Mauritius - it isn't too bad averaging about 30c

Went to town and got a few more things for the festive season, my plan is to buy well in advance when things are on offer and avoid the late rush Last week I got the cake for half price (back to full price within 2 days!) so saved myself £4.50p, then today they had the luxury puds for half price (£6) so I got one of those, both cheaper than I could have made one. I also took advantage of a couple of alcohol offers, whether that lasts remains to be seen

[Jasmine]

Interesting voting!

[Tig]

Indeedy! Bit of a shame but neither would have been 'winners' and I know who makes me laugh more

[Ladygardener]

I missed the start of it but caught up in time to see both pairs repeat their dances. I did think Mark did a lot better 2nd time round. Interesting voting indeed.

I'm afraid to post on DS and most of the time just lurk. I would'nt want to get my head bitten off.!

[Geranium]

What is 'DS' please??

I wasn't surprised to see Fiona go out. I didn't much like their routine, and she looked a bit 'wooden'. Mark was a lot better doing the jive, I thought. I'd say he was for the chop next, though.

[Jilly]

It's a site called digital spy Geranium, they've got loads of forums for different programs & most importantly spoilers  , like Ladygardener says, it's a bit of a bear pit over there so I don't post either, just lurk... it can make for some very amusing reading, not sure how some people can take a TV program so seriously 

[Jasmine]

'Getting', 'a' and 'life' in some sort of sentence springs to mind!!!
It's the way they round on folk with low posting numbers - crikey you'd never keep anybody as a forum if you carried on like that! It must scare fairly new folk to death...unless they're very hard skinned!

[Geranium]

I've looked at Digital Spy - I didn't see a forum there, though. I must have another look. I saw Corrie and other soap spoilers, and that was all, really...apart from gossipy news about celebs. Am I  going on the wrong site?

[Jasmine]

This is the link Geranium - don't forget your tin helmet!

I loved Iveta and Antons dance - I thought it was magical



Why don't James and Ola wear their wedding rings?

[Jasmine]

Found this from the beginning of this year Pam...

''Their spokeswoman Nicola Brunez insisted: “They haven’t worn their wedding rings for years. They don’t wear them while they perform.”

[Geranium]

Thanks, Jasmine - I'll look later.

[Jasmine]

Oh dear, I think Brucie temporarily lost the plot at the beginning of the show. Tess is good at carrying him along!!!

[Tig]

I might not FF that bit then

[Tig]

Oooh he's getting a right slating tonight on the Strictly pages! www.facebook.com/bbcstrictly

[Jasmine]

Apart from Brucie not being able to read the auto cue I though the marking was a bit all over the place tonight....and Natalie did look like a Quality Street!

Thanks for the link Tig.

I enjoyed reading the comments!

[Tig]

I thought the judges slated Susanna and yet there were others tonight who weren't brill. Some of the music really didn't fit the dances either. And how can you score Ben lower than Mark?

[Ladygardener]

Thanks for the spoiler Jilly.

I must check out that link Tig. I ff BF.

[Jasmine]

Brendan obviously felt quite passionately about the rumba he and Sophie did whatever the judges thought of it

I'm looking forward to tonight's show!

[Tig]

I thought Brendan was back on form too Jas, he's been way too chilled out since getting married Actually, I liked the rumba they did, thought it was very romantic and Sophie is more like a lollipop than 'sex on legs'

[Ladygardener]

It's interesting, for the 1st time I realised how long Sophie's legs are. I liked it and somehow could'nt have seen her in a more raunchy role. I could'nt take to Susanna and her Cha Cha at all.

[Geranium]

It's all very well the judges saying that Ben made more mistakes than Mark, but to Joe Public, i.e. moi, Mark is not nearly as good a dancer as Ben. I think he was very surprised to be voted back in.

[Tig]

I felt the same Geranium - travesty on all counts (and I'd much rather watch Ben than Mark attempting to dance)

[Ladygardener]

I felt this week that it was time for Mark to go. His poor knees are killing him but he smiles through it all. I think he'd have been happy to leave as well. Having said all that I think overall that although I liked looking at Ben, most of his dances were about his partner and I don't like her. I think showing his muscles and or chest just happened once too often. I do think that with another partner Ben could have done a lot better. He looked like he did'nt mind leaving at all 'tho and it was Kristina who was upset and she seemed angry too.

I was going to skip watching ITT because I can't stand Zoe but look forward to seeing Craig and Ian and the other guests.

[Jasmine]

There's outrage on several threads on DS about the Mark/Ben decision.
