Will Young quits Strictly Come Dancing.


http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-37622797

Over coffee this morning, my old pal and I had a good discussion about the show - which she loves while I can take it or leave it. However, we agreed that Dan/Danny was the best.

Not nearly as good as last year's winner though! (I hope she doesn't read this cos I'll be in doggy doo-doos.) :-S

She thinks most of this year's dancers are fairly good while I think the majority are too heavy-footed to be good dancers.

We agreed to disagree ....after more than 40 years we still rub along OK. :-D

Seeing as the outcome last week involving Anastasia was controversial and it was decided on the Viewers Vote. Is there anywhere that the actual amount of votes are published?

Oh dear it had to surface - everything else has

Wherever you look - everyone seems to be saying the wrong 2 were in the dance off - well it is down to the viewers -

Lets just face it the public like you even if you are a bad dancer they will keep you in for the entertainment value - if the public wanted to watch a classic dancing program they wouldn't watch Strictly.

You have to have a bit of both - however this week everyone uped their game and the least popular entertainers went in the dance off. Have to admit i didn't like either routine. I didn't like the flashdance one so wouldn't vote for them last week either.

I used my 3 votes wisely - actually i think I voted for the same 3 as last week, 2 of them were favorites but they did have a good routine too.

I note that in the media today the "racist" card has been thrown in the mix - I don't believe racism played a part in those who have been thrown out, but I do think that the two in the dance off should not have been there - but hey ho, that's the way things seem to go!!

Well one of mine was in the dance off

My OH had his own ideas who should go & I disagreed - he thinks it should be on dance quality only - i think it needs to be both dance & entertainment.

At least most of the pros i disliked are gone now.

Have to admit if they got rid of the other Pro I don't like it would lose the celeb i dislike too - two birds in one

I will be away for next week's show so OH has promised not to tell me who is in or out - and i can catch up on Monday while he is at work as i have a day off to recover from a manic three days on a works trip .

That's my headache gone :-D :-D

What?

There was not way Timeka should have left tonight! There was at least two who could have had the heave-ho.

Including my least fave! :-D

Ha ha Tabitha. So there are now FOUR people who are not favourites!!

One of mine is a contestant, the other a pro!

They wind me up something rotten.

;-) ;-) ;-)

Ah MG - mine are both women - dont mind the men as much they are quite fun

Waiting for the program tonight now to see if we all agree with the results

Daisy and that false smile are grating on me
and Tameka still giving me a headache.

Nicks fan off Twiddley :-D I saw him first ;-) ;-) :-D

Len should go.

Claudia and Tess should go.

I agree with the comments about Ed Ball. He seems to be putting everything into it and it's increased his entertainment value.

In my view, Danny was best this week but there aren't half some leaden-foots among the so-called celebs.

Tabitha I will wait until they go out before I admit who they are!

But they are both men. That is all I WILL say.

Ed Balls is turning out to be a bundle of fun, I am amazed.

I sooooo wanted to be in that big ballgown being whisked around by Brendan, in the King and I bit! <3 <3 <3

Danny? Pass me the fan. :-D :-D

I enjoyed it too tonight....it will be hard to choose as they are all trying so hard.

..and I believe the band and singers are very good.

Some dances suit the older ones,so it depends what they get...thought Lesley did well for her age,but don't think she will last too long in the competition.

fab show tonight - Anton and Lesley made me laugh so much

Greg and Natalie were great

Claudia and that schoolboy lookalike were quite brilliant

I'm sick to death of Claudia Winkleman - she's not funny any longer and Tess is a waste of space - get Zoe Ball to do it - just her!!

Does Claudia need specs - she always appears to be squinting?

I really enjoyed it too Ann :-D :-D :-D

Really good show tonight - very had to find a dud

Loved Ed Balls again he is not a dancer but gave it his all and didn't mind making a fool out of himself.

Didn't like Tamika or Naga this week.

Loved Natalie she looked beautiful in that outfit and the dance was good. Also loved the Singing in the rain one. Good old Anton hope he stays in in for a while longer.

Unfortunately the two I dislike are in for the duration I think. I am prepared to name & shame if you are MG. I didn't like either of their routines.

On another point i dont think the singers are up to the songs this year. Its either that or the Microphones are rubbish - they dont seem to have strong enough voices to cope with the wonderful sound of the orchestra.

Good show this week. Third week and nines awarded, even by Craig! :-D

Yes, I don't like the singer spot with the dancers either..........never know which to watch for one thing and the dancers always look to me as if they are trying to steal the limelight.

Claudia's childish fooling around is beginning to grate.....just not funny and out of keeping with the rest of the show.
