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!

PMSL at Craig, he was taking it very seriously wasn't he? I thought "there goes a stage school child...." Especially after that big finish. Eyes and Teeth boys, eyes and teeth! Anton was great though, he looks like he's good fun

Glitterygookwithchocsonthetree · 20/12/2006 23:23

Ooh, Mark's a good old virgo and same birthday as my dad! Even more reason to vote for him!

Molesworth · 20/12/2006 23:45

omg Craig and Anton were embarrassing weren't they? Especially Craig! LOL

DeepPannCrispandEven · 21/12/2006 00:08

aww..I quite liked it! Nice voice on Craig, but doesn't he look ROUGH these days!!! Working alot and going through divorce??

MistleToo · 21/12/2006 09:00

I thought he was gay?!

multitasker · 21/12/2006 11:14

I thought he looked like he was wearing eyeshadow!! Fab voice though.

Molesworth · 21/12/2006 12:10

Surely Craig is gay?

theheadlessreindeer · 21/12/2006 17:57

If Craig isn't gay, the Pope is a f'ing methodist. He must be, if not, a friend ought to tell him he's giving out the wrong signals

DeepPannCrispandEven · 21/12/2006 18:11

Well, he referred to a call fom his agent, the subject matter being his divorce.....open to different meanings I know.

So, he is as camp as a row of chiffon tents!

Very metro-sexual.......

theheadlessreindeer · 21/12/2006 18:15

Bloody 'ell, metrosexual indeed! btw deeppan I love the xmas name

DeepPannCrispandEven · 21/12/2006 18:29

I am so gutted
Darren and Lilia are coming to do a show in my town and I got the mailing today,went to book it and its sold out already

How sad is my life

multitasker · 21/12/2006 20:16

I have a feeling Matt Dawson could win this...He has grown on me recently, Mark seems overshadowed by Karen - how embarassing was she on Sat night....

DeepPanCrispandEven · 21/12/2006 20:31

Jolly - tragic. Not your life! the sold out thing.

Did I mention I saw them this time last year, after she won with Darren? >

Superb. They MUST have website to check appearances?

theheadlessreindeer · 21/12/2006 20:32

I agree, matt and Lilia are the more likeable couple and he's made huge improvements. I don't think it will be clear cut on Saturday night.

tribpot · 21/12/2006 20:33

Oh! I don't think Karen is embarrassing, I would be as over-emotional as she is and weep buckets on public telly.

JollyOldSaintNikkielas · 21/12/2006 21:44

checked the website our towns not even on it

trying2bgood · 21/12/2006 22:54

I love Karen! She is so sweet and so defensive of her celeb, she was the same with Bill. If I was a male celeb, would want her in my corner if a fight broke out...

Surely, they would not expect them to do 5 dances? I thought it would be their fave dance plus a show shopping show dance!!!

GO MARK! For Karen's sake!!! It would make her so happy and Lillia has already won it? In the next series, they really need to pair her with an oldie who has no chance! To give the others a fair crack!

trying2bgood · 21/12/2006 22:56

I certainly would not say Matt and Lilia are the more likable couple, but as mentioned I used to love Bill in the last series so would really like to see Karen take the title. In terms of purely the celebs, I like Mark more than Matt but would have preferred to have seen Emma or Luisa win!!! Hope they are both in the xmas special!

multitasker · 21/12/2006 22:58

Next series I would love to see Flavia, Ola and Nicole paired up with celebs who were in with a chance i.e under 50.

LittleSarah · 21/12/2006 23:02

Oh I definitely prefer Mark and Karen, although I do like Lilia and Matt... GO MARK!!

Can't wait for the final!!

JollyOldSaintNikkielas · 21/12/2006 23:54

Def 5 dances was on SCD-extra thing on BBC2 tonight

tribpot · 22/12/2006 07:09

Yep - they have to do:

  1. Their choice of ballroom
  2. Their choice of Latin
  3. Show dance
  4. Judges' choice (a piece of music chosen by the judges, both have to dance to the same piece but can choose what type of dance to do)
  5. Viennese Waltz.

I dunno whether they invented the extra dance to cover the absence of a third finalist, but it seems v harsh to me.

JollyOldSaintNikkielas · 22/12/2006 18:57

thought they would have let someone stay in because of losing one.
