Goodnight Abivan - careful you don't fall out of bed.

The entertainment's supposed to come from dancing, though.

Damn those contestants for wanting to win! Damn them all! It's a disgrace! An outrage! Etc!

It does with Chris and Ola more than the other two.

For you, sure. If you ignored Chris facial expressions, would it still?

I didn't look at his face all that often so it didn't influence me either way.

hmmm, well it does, from every single couple. None of them are baking cakes, singing, learning lithuanian etc! They are all dancing (which means moving around rhythmically to some music) it's just that some couples dancing appeals more than others! You may like vanilla, I may like phish food (yummy) but there is no denying that we are both eating ice cream! Chris and Ricky are both dancing, just differently.
