Strictly Come Dancing - too uncool?

[ballbaby]

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!

Please, please, please can someone tell me who was knocked out tonight?!!!! Was watching Brokeback Mountain [yawn].

Jan and Anton went out.

And I have to say that I love love love Mark.

Haven't seen it yet just the results show - thought Jay Kay was pretty fab. RTK ho is Claudia's mum?

Oh, boo hoo!! I LOVE Anton, but unfortunately for him Jan was crap so it was only a matter of time!!

no I LOVE LOVE LOVE Mark!!!!

Eve Pollard - journalist person.

Did not know that!! Claudia tries too hard to be witty sometimes, do watch her every evening though.

Blimey, I didn't know she was Eve P's daughter either!

Mark's going to win isn't he?

DS spent the whole of Carol Smilie's dance asking "Where's her trousers?" in a shocked tone of voice. He's quite prudish for a 2yo. She has fantastic legs doesn't she? I could never have guessed what a good figure she has as she so often wears comfortable and slightly shapeless clothes.

You've clearly never seen her when she was a model or a Wheel of Fortune Hostess .

She looks terrible in that photo, what is that thing on her head?. I didn't know she'd been a model and I don't watch Wheel of Fortune so to me she just appeared on the screen out of nowhere on Changing Rooms. Up until last night I'd always thought of her as being slightly frumpy.

I only found out on some other programme where her past was mentioned. Bit like knowing that Geri Halliwell started off as one of the bimbos on a Turkish version of Sale of the Century!

she's got a video diary of her experiences at www.carolsmillie.tv

Did anyone see Claudia today on the BBC2 programme. She looked really strange, that lippy DID NOT suit her at all!!!

Bomper,just watched it from sky+ and thought the very same thing! Is she becoming a goth?? Still don't like Matt, he's too cocky.

Afraid to say I noticed the lipstick too. Not her at all. Hope she will return to normal tomorrow!

Oh yes, she looked a bit mask like tonight.

DH said she looked scary.

Am still very cross with SCD for letting Anton go and sulking about it.

I'd love Anton to get someone with a bit of possiblity next year!

oh, thank god I 'm not the only one that noticed that Claudia looked very diff today!

I just love Anton

But yes agree give him someone with the potential to go all the way - perhaps even a professional in disguise .

I want to start the official Anton appreciation society!

I had to call dh into the lounge to see whether it was just me, or if Claudia looked completely different. He noticed straight away.

A friend at work wondered whether she had something wrong with her eyes, as she normally emphasises them, and de-emphasises her lips (pale lipstick her "trademark").

I wonder whether I should get a life...

I feel right at home here - I'm utterly adicted to this and can't get enough of it.
All gliterry and sparkly - just lovely!

Will add that Claudia looks a completely different person with the makeup change; I had the feeling she knew that we knew too....her eyes seemed to be scrunched together imo.

Even my dh noticed that she had de-emphasized her eyes in favour of her lips (not that he put it quite like that, obviously!).

my sister and I were sitting there wincing at her new look!

The eyes (the bits you could see under that fringe! ooh I sound like me mother) were odd as she had pale pale eyeshadow on with heavy eyeliner on her top lid.

Sis and i decided we wouldn't attempt that look.

Also the lips were incredibly sharp lined with lip liner, she almost looked like the Joker in batman, they had a slight smirk at the corners.

Bet she's back to normal tonight!

Does anyone know when the final is?? (I dont want to be out! - sad i know)
