Strictly Come Dancing 2008

[Ladygardener]

MRH I watched wednesday evenings it takes 2 and totally agree with you. He gave really good critiques on all the dancers and seems to have a good personality. I think he's a very good dancer too Plocket and hope we see him again next year. ;D

[Ruthie]

Wow!! It's really becoming a competition now (apart from one of the contestants who I won't mention and who should be out tomorrow ;D). It was hard to choose between the 7 couples tonight but I had to agree with the judges that Rachel and Vincent were absolutely sensational! I think they make the best looking couple for sure. However, they all have their strengths and weaknesses and it will be interesting to see who comes to the top nearer the end.
It's just such a damn shame that the public has to get a vote. If they can't use it responsibly it should be taken away

[Missredhead]

I agree with you about Rachel and Vincent...they were sensational

[Ladygardener]

It was a great show tonight I agree SR . It was very close too with so many 9's and even 10. It's smashing entertainment. I have to say I agree with Craig more than any of the judges but I thought they were all very nice tonight. Do think it's time for John to go although I thought tonight was his best night.

[JennyWrenn]

Rachel and Vincent - wow and Cherie's figure, and face - she looked sensational

[Auricula]

The standard is very high this year, and apart from John, there is not much between them and no obvious winner. I have, however looked on Digital Spy and seen the results so I'll say no more tonight!!

[Tig]

Naughty Auricula

I even thought John put in a reasonable effort!

[Auricula]

Yes, he was better than usual ( not that that would be difficult!! ;D )

[Tig]

Ooooh you are wicked ;D

[Auricula]

;D ;D night night!

[carolann]

What a fantastic show it was last night, well done to all the couples including JS, I just wish he would not just do that thing with his eyes, its gone past being funny now. He most leave tonight or someone better will go. Is it me or does anyone else think the colours of the dresses was not up to scratch? I love Cherie's but that Pink was not her at all. They should have done that dress in a different colour. Its in the hands of the public god help us but I hope they do the right thing for a change. I hope that Rachael is not in the dance off I dont want to see Len naked

[Plocket]

It was brilliant wasn't it? I didn't rave about Austin's dance but Rachel was awesome Heavens perish the thought at seeing Len naked!!!!!

[Auricula]

Now if it were Brendan it might be a different matter

How do you do that?

[Plocket]

Yeak no - Matthew Cutler though...... ;D

[Auricula]

Oooh yes - he'd slipped my mind for a moment!!
Google Digital Spy and then go to Strictly.There will be a message board thread headed Spoiler Thread followed by the date. The results are usually given at about 10:30pm on the Saturday evening. Someone at the show texts the results to a friend and they post thm on the thread

[Ladygardener]

Thanks Auricula have bookmarked that site. ;D

[Ruthie]

B*ll*cks!!

[carolann]

I'll second that Ruthie. What a shambles. Its about time they stopped the public from getting 50% of the vote, as James said please vote for the dance.

[Plocket]

What a joke! I have to admit that if John weren't in it at the weekend I would have expected Cherie to go out. It would be interesting to find out who and why people are actually voting for John. Being a nice bloke doesn't mean he should win a DANCING competition!!!

[bagpuss]

I totally agree P. I just couldn't and still can't believe it. It is utterly ridiculous.

[Plocket]

Unfortunately boycotting the programme won't make any difference

[Auricula]

It has ceased to be funny when 2 undeserving dancers are in the dance off. Can't say I'm too sorry to see Cherie go as she was a bit "up herself" towards the end.However, it must be said that she is in very good nick for an old girl!! ;D

[JennyWrenn]

I feel sorry really for John - he is getting so much stick and not his fault he is still in it - poor old thing - am sure he will go next week but if they STOP slagging him off he wont get sympathy votes - maybe the judges should give him four 10's ;D

Who actually votes for him I wonder - I certainly dont

[farmersboy]

Its a complete farce,like the voting on the Euro vision song contest

[JennyWrenn]

I agree FB - I just cant watch Eurovision - makes me so mad

I have to say never heard of John Seargent before - or some of the others either

[farmersboy]

Im amazed you never heard of him,saw him most nights when he was ITV political reporter,on the news

[Ruthie]

Just heard on Radio 2 that JS has pulled out of SCD. Apparantly he said that he is in real danger of winning it and thinks that would make a mockery of it.
Part of me says "good for him". The other, more cynical, part says he was probably down to do the Jive or something and realised that he could end up making more than a fool of himself.
Anyway, if it's true I'm well pleased.

[Plocket]

Ooo ooo! There's a whisper going around that John Sargeant has walked from Strictly!

[Barbara]

Yes, he says he will do one last dance this week, then thats it.
