    An ego trip, combined with the growing knowlege that Tess isn't cutting it at all

    Although I though some of the music choices were poor, I thought that chosen for Pixie, was OK.
    I was impressed with the singer, who I believe tried to sing it as would have Edmundo Ros.
    Either he, or Don Warrington, I can't decide which.

    Claudia is hilarious and Tess is getting better at realising she's the straight act in the team.

    I don't know why people don't like Claudia - she's just perfect for Strictly. I really think she tries very hard to engage with people, and sounds very genuine - she's delighted for contestants when they've done well, and kindly when perhaps things haven't gone so good. Tess hasn't quite mastered this really, and comes across as just reading a script.

    Awkward moment with Simon through when he tried to make the point (badly) that they don't do ballroom dancing in Manchester

    That was a bit awkward, Simon seemed to take offence (not that I think that's unusual)

    ... in his side of the tracks. That was petty obvious.

    He thought she meant "You are black. Are you from Jamaica or Nigeria?"

    I was so angry when I first found out Claudia was replacing Bruce, but now I think she's absolutely brilliant! If it wasn't for her the show would honestly be a lot worse! Tess is so dull, they should put Tess up with all the zelebs and Claudia down with the judges

    I'm sure he didn't mean ALL of Manchester as a location but a kind of Billy Elliott thing. And IIRC, didn't Sunetra make a similar point about "an Indian Scouser doesn't dance like that"

    I think it was obvious what he meant and think some people are mischief making and looking for issues that don't really exist.

    As you are obviously telepathic, I can only apologise for what went through my mind when I read your post.:blush:

    I spotted that as well - another reason why I'm convinced he's going in the bottom 2 this weekend.

    Claudia seemed the same to me as ever. She is great, a natural wit.

    I don't know who's idea it was for her to do the 'using the song title' thing, but it was inspired and I laughed out loud at the contestant participation this week! Love her! :D
