And if all else fails, you’ll have to mug someone for their ticket. 
Mmmm … now that’s a good idea 
Does anybody else think it’s all got a bit ‘tacky’ and over the top? I used to love it but they waste so much time with scripted fill-in prior to actually dancing it puts me off.
I still love it countrygirl, I think its X-factor that got unbelievably tacky.
I will admit I record so that I can skip these embarressing cutsey little scenes…I used to record so I could avoid Brucie and its just become a habit…
Showing a bit of practice or a highlight is ok but all the silly stuff is just time wasting and detracts from the show.
I agree Cass, I used to view it as a competition, where one of the best dancers won in the end, but these scripted stories of how they spent their training are obviously marketing gimmicks, and are not working for me!
I record it Annie and skip the first 10 mins of people arriving.
I also fast forward through the little ‘playlets’, I watch the programme to see the dancing not poorly written fluff .
I can’t stand Tess-what’s-her name either with her inane waffling and wish she had gone when the awful ‘Brucie’ and his embarrassingly poor jokes went.
It would be good to have a ‘no nonsense’ Compère preferably male 
.
Strictly come dancing? Is that a TV show or foreplay. God knows what my wife would say, if I tried that on!
Yes, it is a bit tacky and all the contestants sound the same to me. Tried to watch it once or twice but couldn’t hack the squealing. I still watch the dancing even though I criticise it. I love dancing.
You naughty boy.
I also record it, speed up the first few minutes, watch only the dancing and the scores, and then speed on to the next dance.
I call this program, strictly come shouting and yelling because of the ruddy noisy crowd!:twisted:
I do still rather quite enJOY it though! 
Alexander ought to be the next one to go, but maybe it will be Jamelia
Who’s Alexander ? Can’t place in me head …
Don’t know who Alexander is either!Think it’s Jeremy for the chop this week.
Who is Alexander Valice?
Never heard of him!
Yes sorry was thinking of Alexander Armstrong host of Pointless, he was on Take 2 recently and sang.
It was Jeremy Vine I should have said, he hosts Eggheads I think.
Some great dancers this year but some odd marking IMO when one makes a mistake they get told off and 5 points when another does it they get told these things happen don’t worry and 8 points. Another thing what does anyone have to do to get a 10 from Craig I thought Georgia deserved one after that performance !
Georgia definitely deserved a 10 - and she has been consistent throughout
As for Jeremy, I think he should stay another week, he was given a rotten routine to ridiculous music and yet he ‘still’ tried to pull it off
Jamelia has not improved, so for me its her turn - or of course, Antons partner - won’t happen though
I have to wonder what the agenda is with Jamelia…
3 times in the dance off and the judges keep saving her, she isnt improving she doesnt entertain and the public obviously dont think much of her so whats going on?
