After last weeks wonderful show without Bruce, I was groaning within the first few minutes tonight.

He just doesn't learn.

couldnt disagree with you more, Bruce is back and on form he;s my favourite

Totally agree with the OP. Every series I hope it's his last.

Bruce is such a bore - he ruins the show in my opinion.

If I were a contestant I would dread him saying that I was his favourite. It means you were absolutely awful. You then have to smile through gritted teeth and say "Thank you Brucie"

LoL so true. Its very insulting.

I am sure I heard him say something along the lines of "wasn't that dance wonderful".... then as soon as the judges slated it, he said "well I couldn't really see as I was out the back".

I may have dreamt it though. (or perhaps a nightmare would be more accurate)

No you did hear him correctly. He goes and sits at the back while the dancers are on the floor.

Oh yes, that is the worst bit of all. Painful.
