Thanks

Eine

(and thanks to Ellmau for last week)

Ian Waite and Zoe Ball is my dream team.
Kevin and Stacey not so much.

Good timing, they’re leaving a sinking ship. I think Claudia is too big for a show that’s dwindling in popularity and Tess will hopefully fade into retirement.

Yes, this is a real pity.

Oh no no not Kevin and Stacey.i wouldn't watch it.

Ian and Zoe id watch them.

maybe Jeanette manrara or Fleur East upstairs not the main presenting i don't think they could carry it.

I actually think them quitting will over shadow the rest of the series im still wondering why announcing now?

Dh just messaged me with an OMG what’s the story?

😂

It's a good time for a proper refresh.

I wonder if Strictly will be rested for a bit now Tess and Claudia are going, its become rather boring and predictable.

Oh god not Zoe Ball. She shouts everything, and has used her father and ex husband to boost her career. She wouldn't be where she is if it wasn't for being Johnny Ball's daughter.

Stacey's voice grates on me.

Yeah It might be set aside quietly after all the scandals and hoha, which is a shame that the pro dancers /crew will lose their jobs.

The format or bits of it have become boring and predictable, but it’s a light entertainment show with a fresh crop of contestants and dances every year so I don’t think the show will be axed. I hope not.

I would rather have a change of judges, theme weeks, music, costumes and contestants!

So change everything 😀 I like the judges they seem a good mix.

I do think this would be a good opportunity to rethink the format.
And ask us for suggestions.

Not sure about Zoe only being where she is because of her dad tbf. Johnny Ball was a kids’ tv presenter, not a massive celeb, and Zoe’s been around for a very long time now, more than a flash in the pan. Generally speaking a lot of people seem to like her.

They've been scraping the barrel for celebs for a few years now. Then you get all the fuss when better dancers don't get the votes and end up in the dance off whilst rubbish dancers are kept in (because they have a fan base and a personality). Then you get the bullying accusations, lewd comments by ex contestants hanging over it, judges favourites, comments about Shirley not liking certain women etc.

The X Factor went the same way before it was binned.

Well, we’ll see. For all its faults, Strictly still has a huge fan base and healthy viewing figures. And I do wonder sometimes, why people who have nothing good to say about the show are still watching.
