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!

what?! she was wobbling all over the place. They didn't do as many lifts and they were nowhere near as clean!

Bloody hell, do you only have to be good looking to win this comp?

ClementClarkeMoore · 23/12/2006 22:02

oh, and that's another thing!

Matt's Higher and Higher dance was better too - so ner!

(he ain't gonna win though

Oh FFS Bruce is singing [rollseyes]

blimey brucie baby is a bit energetic for an oldie!

JollyOldSaintNikkielas · 23/12/2006 22:07

Yeah that dance was good
Did start off dodgy i'll give you that but Marks dances always look so much more fun (I know its not quite the point but [shrugs shoulders])

JollyOldSaintNikkielas · 23/12/2006 22:08

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY

FestivelyFoggyFloss · 23/12/2006 22:10

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

im so glad karen and mark won

trying2bgood · 23/12/2006 22:24

HO HO HO! Am sooooooooooo please that mark and karen won, it has really made my day and means that I can have a happy birthday tomorrow - HOW SAD AM I?

I think the show dances should have both been better, it was all about lifts, and I have no interest in lifts! It should have been dancing only! But for me Mark wins it as he brings dance to life, it has nothing to do with his looks, it is the sheer energy those two give out. Just look at what Graham Norton said! At least Mark has given cricket fans something to cheer about!
Matt was a gracious loser though, Lilia looked gutted though! And Karen cried again - bless, and did you see how huggy karen and Mark's wife were with each other? Wow, these dancers must get to know your whole family so well!

Really enjoyed tonight's final and was crying with Karen! I know Matt was probably the better and more consistent dancer but Mark just had a spark that made him good to watch - don't think it was just about being good looking. Will miss it when it's over - only the Christmas day show to watch.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!

Mark and Karen TOTALLY deserved to win

PS Matt's lifts were not as difficult as Mark's plus Lilia is smaller than Karen AND Matt is bigger than Mark!

JollyOldSaintNikkielas · 23/12/2006 22:28

And Marks daughter danced with Karen!
Who was hugging Marks wife-one of the other dancers?i could see pink arms?

trying2bgood · 23/12/2006 22:28

better ballroom perhaps? I don't think you can call his Latin dance!!! Sorry that is a bit mean but he is bad at it - bless him! Matt did lack personality on the dance floor which is ironic as from interviews on it takes two the other night, Mark at the beginning was painfully shy whilst Matt is a typical outgoing rugby boy!

trying2bgood · 23/12/2006 22:29

It was carole! She is lovely!

Molesworth · 23/12/2006 22:30

I'm surprised Matt and Lilia didn't play to his strengths and do a fantastic American Smooth type show dance. He really did well though

JollyOldSaintNikkielas · 23/12/2006 22:32

Oops at the double posts

trying2bgood · 23/12/2006 22:33

I guess it was not scored so did not matter! I wish instead of the group waltz (which i did love), they would instead spend a little more time chatting to the guests in the audience! Would be interested in what they think, as I only occasionally get to watch 'it takes two'.

multitasker · 23/12/2006 22:33

TBH I was disappointed with both free-style dances - thought Mark was going to drop Karen at the start, and Matt and Lilia did too many lifts.
What to do now on a Sat night?? Have Xmas day special to look forward to!
1st New Years Resolution? learn to dance - properly.

Molesworth · 23/12/2006 22:35

I got the impression that they were all knackered by the time it got to the show dances :-/

trying2bgood · 23/12/2006 22:36

mt - agreed! Would have loved it if Karen and Mark had done their argentine tango again; And matt and Lilia their american smooth.

my dh is delighted it is over! Does not know about xmas special yet - he he he!

JollyOldSaintNikkielas · 23/12/2006 22:38

Like Graham Norton & Mam ?

jenk1 · 23/12/2006 22:39

oh i am so pllleeeaaassseeeddd that Mark and Karen won.

Matt and Lilia,s free dance was just lift after lift and not much dancing whereas Marks and Karens had both and that lift he did at the beginning was brill...........

Im so sad that its finished

BUT, Dancing on Ice is back on in January and i cant wait for that!!!!!!!!!
