Bit of a shock wasn't it! I know Gabby was a bit wooden but she wasn't the worst in the contest and for sure the Samba is a very tough dance to get right in a week.

What a feckin farce

The thing is that people vote for their personal favourites rather than on the individuals performance. Thats why Kate will get to the final three, not because shes particularly good but all the GMTV watchers will vote for her. Come to think of it GMTV will probably rig the vote.

Oh, John Barnes is fat and rubbish.

I'm fuming (again). Trouble is, Bruno giving Kelly a 10 started the farce off. The great British public are ruining a great show.

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Aye, but if you're voting for her looks and body then you'd have to give her 10.

can you two get a room
preferably one with a sprung floor
and sound proofing

In all seriousness I think it should be impossible for anyone on this show to get a 10. They are minor celebs who do a few weeks training. Margot Fontaine or Wayne Sleep should get an occasional 10 but not this lot. Apart from a few they are donkeys in tutus.

i'd give her one.

This has ruined the show for me.

Popularity contest? PAH. KG should resign now and take KL with her

Well Archbishop Desmond should put them in the garden. I wouldn't have them in the house personally.

Seriously - is this what middle / old age brings.? Please tell me there is something better look forward to.....

you will dislike young peoples' taste in most things.
Then you will dislike noisy pubs containing a people concentration of one person per square foot
Then you will dislike having to make your way to and from your place of drinking if it means more than a five minute walk
You will become very intolerant of things not being done the way you would like to see them done
you will enjoy watching educational programmes on tv
you will enjoy winning arguments/discussions with younger people through having more experience of life
you can't be arsed to chat up women 'cos you're too old for it, plus the wife will kill you

"you will enjoy watching educational programmes on tv " I really hope I never sink this low I hate all 'reality TV' other than sport which sometimes is totally unreal .

There is absolutely nothing wrong with Adam Hart Davis or whta he gave us.

Afraid so Jonny. Not forgetting long debates with Darlo_Pete on the merits of his ROH.

I don't think so, but for some strange reason, Jonny does

The RoH was a brilliant idea, it sort of breaks the messageboard month up as you look forward to the first update, then the second update before getting the full picture at the end of the month. It stops people droning on with the same crap points about crowd sizes etc on the other board.....

It adds a bit of drama and excitement and I know some people think it's pointless but if it wasn't there it would be sadly missed......

Not unlike your own good self Jonny.......

Jonny. You need to get out more, and this is from a bloke who likes SCD

Thank you for your kind words Kevin. You have made my day.....

Shit, I've just clicked on this thread for the second time in two days.
I reckon anagrams (that's not the right word is it?) should be banned.
I'd never have done it if the title read Strictly Come Dancing. I couldnt bring myself to open a thread about it.
Devious Mr I

Mr Southend - You can have too much of a good thing so I tend to stagger my social activities, I am thinking of taking up golf to get closer to the clean air and theoutdoors though...

GOOOOLF ....that's not a 'sport', it's a serious case of social climbing and aspirational interaction with the self appointed lower middle classes and new money.

As ever Jonathan, you are fookin' welcome.

Obviously a lot of pent up jealousy there.
