I'm anticipating howls of protest but I love, love, love, Strictly Come Dancing.
So this thread is for all things Strictly. Can't wait!!!!

Annobel.... absolutely! Did I get the impression that the saintly Anton was not quite 'all out to win', he looked as if he were throwing a sack of potatoes around! hmm

Annobel Mon 10-Oct-11 22:01:40

PS. the great advantage of watching a recording of Strictly is being able to fast forward over Bruce's corny jokes and the training extracts which I usually find irrelevant.

Having been away at the weekend, I've spent the evening catching up with Strictly - a good way to unwind after a frustrating journey. I hope Nancy follows Edwina this week. The sight of Edwina flirting with Vincent (and just about any other male within reach, including Bruce) was nauseating. And Nancy's dancing was just appalling! But didn't Flavia get Russell's choreography just right and to give him 'Dancing Queen' to perform to was just genius! Hope it's on youtube!

Oh heck; the thought of Ms Currie and Mr Major 'in flagrante' is worse than thinking of ones parents at such a time. If only Spitting Image had still been going when Ms Curries autobiography was published....

glass.....Yuck! blush

Glad Edwin has gone errgh, do you think John Major was watching and remembering grin

Yes another fan of 'it takes two' getting used to Zoe. Does anyone go on the website? I preferred the old format, now it is just a blog, which you can comment on. I haven't any favourites as yet.

Notsogrand Mon 10-Oct-11 20:10:29

An other sad one here nanachrissy. Zoe is growing on me but she doesn't have the same 'off the wall' quality as Claudia. smile

nanachrissy Mon 10-Oct-11 20:01:45

Do any of you watch "It Takes Two" every evening like me? Or am I the sad one? I miss Claudia W as I found her totally fascinating to watch, with her ridiculous shoes and her smoky eyes.

Usually, the more attractive a woman thinks she is - the less attractive I think she is...confused

crimson Mon 10-Oct-11 16:32:16

I don't understand why some women think they are so attractive; but then I've stated my dislike for Edwina on another thread so I am not unbiased.

susiecb Mon 10-Oct-11 13:10:04

Yes she's gone Edwinas comments about herself as 'hot babe' were excrutiating and don't do anything to enhance the status of all us real hot babessmile
I thought the judges were hilarious although Len is perhaps a little naughty for a family show. I do miss Arlene she at least gave tips on posture and dance technique all Alisha says is @I commend you for this and commend you for that' she doesnt know what she is talking about but she does look good. Bruno is worth his wait in gold but Craig is the only truly constructive critic - harsh but fair.

Brilliant plan notso. I feel sorry for Vincent tho', he normally does so well. I loved his 'farewell jive' - what a mover! Would love to see Ian Waite back. Have a feeling that the 'public' will keep Nancy on which is a shame grin

grandmaagain Mon 10-Oct-11 10:24:53

throughly enjoyed watching the programme with my 3yr old GD not many programmes you can share with a 3yr old apart from Cbebeeies.
felt quite sorry for Edwina I think she was enjoying herself, can"t stand Nancy hope she goes next week. Broadway theme next week sounds exciting, and (ducks and runs for cover) I STILL LOVE BRUCIE grin

Notsogrand Mon 10-Oct-11 08:25:02

I agree that Nancy should have been in the last 2, not Audley, but thank goodness Edwina has gone. Vincent looked quite relieved. smile

kittylester Mon 10-Oct-11 07:32:17

Plan seems to be working so far notsowink

Oldgreymare Sun 09-Oct-11 23:53:03

Notsogrand..... perfect plan!wink

numberplease Sun 09-Oct-11 21:23:54

I`m glad that Edwina has gone, but the last 2 should have been her and Nancy, not Audley.

nanachrissy Sun 09-Oct-11 20:41:40

I think that's a great plan Notso and now Edwina has gone thank goodness!. She was so embarrassing.

Hattie64 Sun 09-Oct-11 19:03:31

Edwina to go tonight, sure of it. Actually I do confess to cheating previous years, I go on a web site, forgotten the name of it, where somebody in the audience texts the result, but today I forgot!!!!

kittylester Sun 09-Oct-11 18:21:00

Great plan notsogrand!! Was impressed by Robbie, who I had expected to hate!

Notsogrand Sun 09-Oct-11 18:03:59

Here's the plan then mrshat...Edwina tonight, Nancy next week. That will free up Anton. A couple of weeks later Bruce will pick up a 'bug' (from which he will make a full and healthy recovery by Christmas) and Anton will step in to present the show. Bruce will announce his retirement next year, Anton will get the presenter role permanently, and Ian Waite will be brought back to fill Anton's place on the dance floor. Sorted! grin

mrshat Sun 09-Oct-11 17:40:22

I agree notso, then Nancy could go next week! Truthfully tho', I think that Brucie has had it - I found his comments last night very uncomfortable and not at all funny. It's time for him to go too.angry

Notsogrand Sun 09-Oct-11 17:35:35

So who do we think will be voted off tonight? I'd originally hoped that Nancy would go first, but I now have my fingers crossed that Edwina goes. She's quite cringey around Vincent and he looks very uncomfortable with her.

Annobel Mon 03-Oct-11 09:38:28

Dordor, you have just planted a bizarre picture in my brain: Russell doing a Paso Doblé. grin
