Strictly Come Dancing - too uncool?

I absolutely love this show and it just gets better every series. But I rarely admit to it in public and none of my friends watch it - they all watch X factor - which I love too but not as much. So would love to hear from anyone who loves it as much as me!

How fake is Emma Bunton? Dont like her

Molesworth · 09/12/2006 23:05

Mark to win!

But I am enjoying watching Matt get better every week: he could do a Darren Gough and steal it :-/

Molesworth · 09/12/2006 23:06

I don't like Bunton either - there's a steely glint in her eye. I think Louisa is a better dancer, and perhaps in Darren's hands Louisa would still be there?

PannintheChristmasPeaks · 09/12/2006 23:07

Bunton - booo

lillypad · 09/12/2006 23:08

Oh Gawd YES!!! I remember now, although I almost wish I didn't!! She was dreadful wasn't she? I think on the whole the standard's a lot better this year. But what about Arlene? She's like 60, and gets younger looking every week I swear. She looks about twelve years younger than when it kicked off three (?) years ago. That woman hit the jackpot when she met her surgeon. Fair play to her! Also luurrvve Bruno - he's hysterical

I think you are all being a bit mean to Emma. And Roisin I actually thought her tango was great. She is consistently scoring high with the judges. Personally I think that the men are finding it easier to pick up the audience vote which is why Louisa went out tonight.

PannintheChristmasPeaks · 09/12/2006 23:12

yep, def. gender imbalance eg men can't dance so big up them.

Honest. Is Matt a better dancer than Louisa?

Non.

Molesworth · 09/12/2006 23:12

I thought her tango was great too, I must admit. The choice of music was inspired! A lot better than her 'chav in a disco' paso doble last week (apologies for use of c word)

wrappingpaperBOwZZAndribbons · 09/12/2006 23:14

And was Darren Gough (or Darren Golf as DS dubbs him) really the best last year?

PannintheChristmasPeaks · 09/12/2006 23:17

Nope. DJ woman FAR better...but not even in the final.(?) - it was Colin against Darren, yes.

lillypad · 09/12/2006 23:19

No way, but everyone voted for him because he was just a big burly bloke who had fallen in love with dancing - altogether - aaaahhh!

multitasker · 09/12/2006 23:26

No way - Colin Jackson was robbed - Erins fault there. Can't warm to Emma, like someone said earlier she looks "affected".Poor Louisa she held her own against the rest, can't help thinking Karens in this to win for herself and Mark will just have to keep up - like what the hell was that jive, obviously her "world champion" choreography. Matt is only there because people love Lilias moves, he hasn't much of a personality, or what we are seeing is a bit too late for my vote.
My God wasn't the Argentinian tango fab - oh to have legs like Flavias.....

ClementClarkeMoore · 09/12/2006 23:29

That's where Craig needs to get real. It is a popularity contest.

Look at that Eastenders buffoon who got to the final, why he was even poplular beats me!

PannintheChristmasPeaks · 09/12/2006 23:31

Argentine Tango. Hot hot. Flavia will be a competitor again next series. Tried to vote for her already!!

multitasker · 09/12/2006 23:35

I'd love to see some of the newer dancers get better celebrity partners, Flavia was never going to last long with Jimmy Tarbuck, and Nicole - is she Matthews wife or do they just have the same name? - stuck with that news reader. Whats the bet Ola will definitely be back, not sure about her psycho hushand though, he was scary

PannintheChristmasPeaks · 09/12/2006 23:38

Ola - gorge.

was hubby the tall one?..bit miserable. Never smiled?

multitasker · 09/12/2006 23:44

He was a real nightmare with the girl with the foreign name from casualty

PannintheChristmasPeaks · 09/12/2006 23:46

yes, Georgina. Him. Got all threatened by Matt - heard him say "think you're tough cos you are a rugby player". Uptight Mr Angry.

bluesky · 10/12/2006 10:59

Well with perfect press timing, Mark's chances of winning are doomed. Love Cheat. Idiot. I bet Karen is furious. (won't even comment on the poor wife).

LittleSarah · 10/12/2006 11:21

What has Mark been up too?? Off to search news!

RussellBrand8930 · 10/12/2006 11:22

Mark was having an affair with me, it is all over the tabloids

RussellBrand8930 · 10/12/2006 11:23

This is Boris not the real Russell Brand

FestiveFrex · 10/12/2006 11:55

I like the lawyer's description of the 6 year affair as "brief" .

LittleSarah · 10/12/2006 11:58

Yes, very strange, although from the sounds of it it was very fragmented, I mean she got a boyfriend and had a child inbetween!

PannintheChristmasPeaks · 10/12/2006 12:01

Boris!!!!

'Twas you last night in guise as RB????

I am soooo sorry!!!!!!
