Is Strictly still winning the ratings over X-Factor? Hope so.
Yes, I saw something in the paper a day or so ago saying that X Factor is losing out more and more to Strictly. I think as they are getting celebrities who appeal to the younger audience as well to take part, maybe it’s attracting the youngsters to Strictly!
With X-Factor, I’ve about had enough of all the flashing lights, screaming audiences, and the judges, who say the same old things, week after week, and yearn for more attention than the contestants even.
exactly so … I wont watch - cant make me :-p
After x factor last year was not interested in it this year, especially after the endless trailers, which confirmed my decision.
Wondered if Vanessa was voted off to even up the numbers as a male went next week, could be Julian’s turn this week.
I’m away at present, but still able to watch the show, can anyone tell me what time it is on this weekend please?
I think it’s on at 6.30pm tomorrow valice.
It is …
Thanks ladies, we will be watching 
How on earth could they rate Mark Benton as an 8 ?
Yes, that surprised me as well Alan - the marking seemed a bit high all round so early in the show.
My favourites tonight were Ben, Patrick and Abby - they did really well.
When I was watching Susannah (and it did make me smile - that dance was a bit ‘out there’ for her wasn’t it!) it made me think of Angela Rippon losing her job because she showed her leg whilst dancing with Morecambe & Wise! How things change!
Poor old Deborah didn’t do too well tonight did she, I think they were right when they said that dance didn’t suit her.
Isn’t Ben Cohen a handsome man, he’s got a lovely face when he smiles, (and a good body) 
However, I still like dear old Mark Benton too, he has a good sense of rythum, he’s fun, and I bet he’s a very nice person too. It must be so much harder for someone of his build than it is for the little bantam weights that compete.
Didn’t “Hairy Dave” look a smart boy tonight as well!
Deborah looked very uncomfortable throughout that dance didn’t she, I felt really sorry for her. I do think that the pros should take things like that into account and tailor the dance more to the amateur then it wouldn’t have been so noticeable.
Ben reminds me of my ex son in law (photo of him in my albums).
For me last night …
Mark - what a guy !
And, Natalie - she is class and can - so far - tackle any dance, Artem as usual, great choreography 
Because he puts his heart and soul in and has great musicality … 
Craig - was obnoxious tonight in his comments, I wont miss him one bit !
We had company all day yesterday so I missed Strictly last night … so who do you think will/should leave tonight?
My vote ‘out’ would be Julien …
It’s a dancing competition not a likability competition so I think Dave should go…but the public can be quite fickle (NOT feckle Len !)
Julien or Dave to go
I agree ! ‘Dave’ should go - he really believes he is better than he actually is too …
