Strictly Come Dancing

And.....she talks in that silly baby voice as though she's still a little spoilt brat girl!

Fiona Fullerton herself HATED being criticised by the judges, didn`t like it at all when they found fault with her performance.

From what we've seen of Susannah's progress on Strictly I can't imagine that she could have found time to orchestrate any sort of campaign. Comments like that just make people look like really bad losers.

Sour grapes!

Yes thanks Ana it was that one. Unnecessary sniping in my view.

Or this one?

Is this the article you read Gaga?

feetle you could be mr glamma's long lost brother with your thoughts on SCD he has only shown interest when I showed him photo of Abbie Clancey modeling underwear (typical male species) & the fact she is from Liverpool made some input to his interest I must add.

Bit surprised to read Fiona Fullerton's piece in the D. Telegraph being bitchy about Susanna - unworthy of you Fiona! (Sorry don't know how to put the link on)

I have not read any newspapers today yet. Try and ignore them if possible.

Thank you jingl, Your words are so much appreciated.

A nice Christmas fire can do wonders to lighten any darkness of the soul.

Tear any newspapers in the house up and take great delight in using them to light your fire.

Oh my God! Haven't read any of it (don't do the papers this early) but it sounds awful.

Take NO notice what so flippin' ever of the British press. Idiots the lot of them. Do not let it get to you.

Why did I think this 'journey' was over. The cruelty of the backlash in today's papers has saddened me. We knew there would be some--that's the nature of the beast. But the untruths that are being bandied around as 'fact'?
Dark nights of the soul are here, but they say: 'there's no pain without growth'.
Have a lovely Christmas

I only watched it from about the halfway mark. When only the likely ones were left in.

feetlebaum you sound so much like my DH on the subject of Strictly. ("Oh, not this again!"]

I think it's pure pantomime and sometimes we need things to take our minds off all the awful things that are happening in the world. It's all gone over my head, really, as I only tend to watch BBC4 [oh and all the wierd channels I keep finding in the early hours of the morning]. The only time I watched X Factor was when I heard about Susan Boyle so I tuned in to the final having heard her rendition of The Stones 'Wild Horses' [wow!!]. But it has been fascinating to get an 'insiders perspective' over the past few weeks [or, in my case, few days].

I didn't watch regularly. I think it's good family t.v for all ages but it's not news is it. My feelings are that it's a light program so doesn't merit a place on a serious news program. I can understand feetlebaum thinking. I get fed up with tuning in to political programs and having to watch the presenters fawning over some celebrity. But it is my personal view and I realise I must be in the minority otherwise it wouldn't keep happening.

"you did not have to watch it or read this thread!"

True... but the damn thing was all over the TV schedules, like some malignant tumour... and my opinions are just as valid as any one else's, aren't they?

Oh, I thought they were. Sorry...

I've always been surprised that we don't see more of Peter Crouch Tegan Capello particularly didn't seem to like him, yet he's made a real difference in some matches. As I've said before I think it's a real boost for Abbey and lifts her out of the "just a footballer's wife" rut.

Although I only watched a bit of it because of this thread, I felt that Abbey 'needed' the win more, the others being so successful in their respective careers [and I've always felt that Peter Crouch should have played more for England and has never been given enough credit for his skills as a footballer].

I like so many things that you like feetle but i won't give up on Strictly!

feetlebaum you did not have to watch it or read this thread!

You sound like my DH, feetle
