Heavens, Willie. I thought Tess's dress looked awful. Yes, Flavia and Vincente's dance was amazing. Claudia's a new mammy hence her less slender form. I'm surprised myself but Nancy is growing on me. She is just such a laugh.

Yes, harper, I thought that Chelsee was superb and well done Harry.

I felt sorry for Alex. I don't think that girl is tough enough for this competition but James is not helping with his cheek to the judges. Ola will need to have a word with him.

I was pleased that Jason wasn't top dog this week. Nice to have a change.

It must be pretty easy to make the tall and shapely Tess Daly look good but lately her dresses have been drastic. I'm sure you could do a much better job, Willie.

That's Nancy Doolally gone. She certainly brought out Alesha's bitchy side. Anyone else think that her marking seems to have quite a bit to do with whether she likes the celeb or not?

Alisha certainly had the claws out for Nancy. Her lack of generosity was quite surprising.

Jason's Bewitched routine was faboulous but hardly much of a stretch for a star of musical theatre.

It will be dull without Nancy. Is it my imagination or does Anton always get the duff ones? :lol:

Yes, I thought that Jason and Christina looked terrific. Aye, poor Anton, mind you, Nancy was a treat after Ann Widdecombe.

Nancy's personality was growing on me and I thought her dancing was getting better. Alesha was very ungenerous but dishing out ten's good style. Tens should only be for perfection.

Right you lot, you're a right bad influence. I shy clear of these programmes with celebrities but I watched at the week-end and then saw Zoe Ball's show on during the week. I am mainly enjoying sickening my sister-in-law's happiness she's a snobby so and so thinks the programme is just for those with a low IQ. I'm now annoying her no end and presenting some of your points of view to her. Thank you very much. I think I sound quite the critic.

Willie what do you think of Zoe Ball in the tight trousers with those big lanky legs. Would you consider that to be a good look? The dancer I like best is Pasha. I need to have a closer look at the celebrities but will get back to you.

That is funny about the attitude you mention Canny Lass. The guys in my work think it is a scream that I have watched the programme and that I know the names of some of the dancers and the competitors. They think that makes me a sissy but I wonder if they would call Robbie Savage and Audley Harrington sissies. Moira loves Audley and she cannot stand Alisha now.

Alesha seems to have lost of few friends, rory, and Nancy in none too pleased with her, apparently she is talking to lawyers about seeking an apology from Alesha and the BBC for the nasty remarks.

I think the judges overstep the mark at times.

Others have been upset by the increased sleaziness of the routines and the sexy costumes. Better not tell your workmates that though, rory, or they might suddenly drop their macho image and tune in. :lol:

Jennifer Grey was an asset on the panel. I thought that she was very polite and likeable. She came over as more sincere than Alesha.

What has happened to Willie? Hope he is all right.

I thought Jennifer did a very good job, rory. Poor Lulu, she was having a ball.

Yes, hope Willie will be back. :)

Moira and I watched Zoe Ball last night and Iain Waite is a favourite on her show. I think that Christina is the celebrity with her eye most set on the finals. Chelsee is a natural and in with a shout.

Hi Ladies and Gentleman,
thanks for your thoughts and I am absolutely fine.I am selling my place here, and have bought a place in Ayr,so been involved with that.
I am still thoroughly enjoying Strictly,and yes,I really liked Jennifer too.They go on about her plastic surgery in the press buy I think she looks amazing and knows her stuff,unlike the "singer"Aleisha who sits with those flinty eyes of hers pontificating on stuff she knows little of.
Lulu was improving every week and could have lasted a bit longer,and I think Audley should have gone in preference.Nice guy,can't dance.
It's still wide open who will win with Harry.Chelsee,Jason,(and my god isn't he serious),Anita,also great for her age,and of course the housewives choice Robby.
Can nothing be done with Sir Bruce..theres a time to leave the stage,and that should have been before he murdered that song and dance routine last week.And before you all holler about being great for his age,i'm old too,but I would prefer my public remembered me at the top of my game.I've forgotten when that was right enough.
Anyway I will be tuned in tomorrow evening while eating my Waitrose Finest chicken tikka and rice with a garlic/coriander nan bread.Delicious,and stand well back on Sunday.

Willie.x.

Good to have the Strictly fifth judge back, Willie. :)

Yes, poor Lulu. I noticed no-one was saying anything about her being good for her age. I would say that she is more attractive looking than Anita. Although, she is mighty sprightly. Bruce tends to get on my nerves a bit but I warmed towards him when he kept Holly company on the dance floor when she was having to go through her routine on her own. Poor Artem.

Flinty eyed Alesha, that's a perfect description. For someone who is such a beauty she lacks a generosity of spirit and, never mind Bruce, she certainly has her 'favourites'.

I agree, Jsson is a tad serious, it makes him look a bit daft. I think that he and Christina are probably having the least fun and think rory is right when he says that she has her eyes firmly set on the top prize.

Enjoy your lovely meal and the programme tomorrow. We'll look forward to your report and more about your plans to move to Ayr. One of my friends did the same last year. She has a beautiful home down there with a great garden and can walk to the beach in five minutes. She loves it.

Hi Pat,

yip.Lulu looks fantastic and gets better as the years go on.My friend did her hair a hundred years ago when she first hit the club scene and was singing at the Lindella. Remember that one?She was saying its amazing how she's looking at present.Who cares how she manages it,shes certainly an inspiration.
I know she's been away from Glasgow a long time,but her faux English/mid-west American accent really grates,and it's particularly patronising when she does any Scottish appearances and lapses into her native tongue which now sounds equally phoney.
Might she have attended the same elocution teacher State side as Miss Sheena Easton?Now she was a welcome export to America.
Anyway,sorry Lulu's out of the competition,

Willie.x.

I'm not finding the folk moving ever closer towards the finals all that exciting. The marking is pretty weird as well. How does Jason get such high marks when he made a completely obvious mistake that he didn't recover from too quickly.

The Wimbledon Show wasn't the best for me. You could hardly see the dancing for all the flashing lights. I would like Chelsee to win. Probably the best natural dancer and it would give her career a major boost.

I'm sticking with Harry.

I have to agree, they are quite a boring lot now that Nancy's gone.

What planet is Russell Grant on?
