Strictly Speaking

gracesmum probably everything you've listed ...but also, the fact that she's not a 'celeb' ...since when does an ex-partner of a football manager receive this "status"??
I know some of the other contestants are maybe only minor ones ...but does this mean any old lawyer can walk in off the street and take part??

could one of us just volunteer? ...now there's a thought!!

Which gransnetter should we volunteer?

Ohh, Notso - conspiracy theory! I like it...

Perhaps the BBC is voting for her? Nothing like a bit of controversy to keep the viewing figures up!

I have just been reading the comments about Strictly on Facebook. Almost all of them were against Nancy. So if most of us and most of the Facebook poster can't stand her, who on earth is voting for her?

All of the above, I think.

What is it about Nancy we all don't like? Is it her total absence of a sense of humour? Is it the Barbie-doll face and body? Is it that she can't dance - or even walk in a straight line? I wonder - all I know is that I want her OUT!!

If only I could think of a way to vote Nancy out... Perhaps we could have a 'set Anton free' campaign?

Yes, Jacey, I`m sure that would work. Don`t know why they try to kid us that it`s on a separate night.

yes numberplease ...wouldn't that be a good idea ... can you remember why they stopped it? or perhaps the studio audience could vote between the final two ...after all ...it is all recorded on Saturday night!!

I think if they went back to the last 2 dancing again, then the judges deciding from that performance, that under those rules Nancy would have gone this week.

Negative voting would be a great idea Jacey but the crafty blighters have used the 'who do you want to see dance again next week' as a great move to make the money!
I know of several people who are currently voting to keep in several people - result = more cash from the phone calls.
If it was a negative vote I suppose they could vote more than once for the one they want out but would they?
I too was surprised that Dan went as I felt he had potential

So agree numberplease ...with all points.

Have often wondered what would happen if we had a negative voting system instead ...voting for the one we wanted to leave!!

When Nancy was in the last 2, I was convinced that she was going. What a shock to hear Dan`s name instead. People are obviously voting for Anton, couldn`t be for her. I would have put Audley in the last 2, not Dan.

OMG - how has she escaped? I have to assume it's a sympathy vote for Anton!
I rather liked Dan; although he wasn't the greatest dancer, he wasn't by any means the worst and has a nice smile.

poor Dan! that was a surprise

I get the impression Anton really does not like Nancy and finds it difficult to work with her. I think it is her attitude more than her lack of dancing skill. Time for her to go. I missed most of last night's show as dear GDs and parents called unexpectantly - which was really lovely and enjoyable - but it was a bit noisey and chaotic around Strictly time. Looking forward to tonight's programme as DH is away and I have the house (and TV) to myslef - bliss!

Will hate to see the back of Anton, he`s lovely, but please let`s get rid of the awful up herself Nancy.

LOVED last nights programme!! Jason was fabulous,and our local boy Robbie just gets better and better,Nancy to go tonight PLEASE!!

Russell was a dream wouldnt it be nie to have him as a next door neighbour?
They have to get rid of Nancy she's not even funny.

Anton always draws the short straw when it comes to dancing partners, though Anne Widdecombe had comedy value. However, he is a winner in that he has acquired celebrity on TV in his own right. Saw him briefly (before I switched off) in a ghastly game show called Hole in the Wall when he was apparently wrapped in tinfoil.

I love watching Strictly at the weekend - it's the highlight of the weekend for me (how sad!). I think they've all improved too, you can't help loving Russell, but Nancy is awful. She looks to me like she's had a few drinks before she goes on! Jason is brilliant but he had an advantage last night, with that song! I think Nancy will go tonight, she doesn't endear herself to anybody, poor Anton.

Everyone improved this week, but Nancy still stiands out as the worst one, don`t know who I`d put in the last 2 with her, possibly Audley. Loved Jason`s dance, and adored Russell`s!

What an entertaining evening! Difficult to pick out particular performances, but I did love Robbie's tango. He looked so wonderfully predatory. And Jason's tango was equally great, but in a completely different way. And as for Russell - what can I say? But Nancy MUST GO!

another fan of "IT TAKES TWO" here and I like Zoe too, she seems to be enjoying presenting the show, reliving her memories of taking part, which she obviously enjoyed very much.Claudia is very special too glad to see her on the sunday show.

I don't think Anton was relating to Nancy the way he did to Ann Widdecombe. At least she had a sense of humour. Nancy hadn't a clue what Alesha meant when she asked if the dance was meant to be funny! Maybe Anton secretly hoped she would slip thorough his hands and maim herself...
