I've grown to quite like Brendan this year

So maybe they could be kind to him and let him dance with Jo?! She's a lot more fun than Fiona (but still fulfills the criteria of being not very good).

I bet the ratings would go through the roof with that line up Jan - we'd be in for a treat!

I WANT BRENDAN TO DANCE THE SHOWDANCE WITH LISA IN THE CHRISTMAS SPECIAL CALLED "CHRISTMAS TURKEY"!!!!

in the spoof clip of this dance, wasn't there a reindeer slung around the guy's shoulders, with "hooves"?

would be perfect!

Damn I forgot that......okay bin Fiona and Jo (sorry sid) bring on Lisa BUT only if they do the showdance

You twisted my arm

And the floodgate is opened!

pmsl

Julian and Lilia were hilarious on the Tour... If Julian came back Id prefer for him to dance with her....

Loving the idea of couples from earlier series that didn't win coming back to dance at christmas as I didn't really watch for the first few series, so it would be good to see why some couples remain firm favourites.

I read somewhere that Darcy was replacing Craig in the last few shows so there was still only 4 judges, anyone know if thats true or not?

On Friday's ITT they said the judges' desk had been lengthened this year to make room for five judges once Darcey joins the panel.

Emma and Darren would do a great Christmas Waltz IMO .

Thonk you might have read it on here (someone has previously said it in an Anti-Alesha thread).

There will be five judges from the quarters onwards. I believe that it's to try to get more of a difference between the scores when there are only a few couples left.

Buggers up the stats though!

Im sure i read it in the Daily Mail lol but then i wouldnt be surprised if they'd got it off here

Do hope Alesha doesn't dance

the pattern in recent years is that former winners have been asked back twice (Alesha did 2007 and 2008 Xmas specials so should not be asked back. Ramps did 2006 and 2007 specials).

If this is the case then we should only have the 2009 winner and Tom but personally I can't see Tom coming back if Camila doesn't so they may redamly pick a former winner to particpate (Jill was asked back last year - maybe its Daren Gough's turn again!)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

He always seems to be on it - or is that just my imagination. I would like to see some different couples for a change.

Any couple in particular ?

Wheel her on like young Mr Grace and she can say: You was all my favourite. You all done very well.
