With the greatest respect, if that's the only reason you tune into Strictly, you may find you are watching the wrong show ...

Goodness me Daziechain how long is it going to take you to get over the loss of Ali and Brian You are taking this way way too seriously and every time you post such a small minded nasty post about another contestant it means they get another vote on Saturday, so I would give it up if I was you.

Oh and yes he does mention the public that vote and always said thankyou to the camera when their names were called out as safe which Ali and Brian never did.

I only wish he was half as adept at dancing as he is at self-promotion and manipulation.


I'm at a loss as to understand how my post can be perceived as either bitter or cynical when it merely points out how skilled your chosen contestant is at seizing every opportunity to represent himself in a way which his fans find attractive and endearing.

Now off you go and rally the rest of the cybersisters

to shout me down - again!

Incidentally, while I was fond of Brian and Ali and Ian and Jade, and I'm warming to Ricki and Natalie , I'm quite resigned to the notion that Hollins will win - I'm just old-fashioned - I would have liked it to be a dancer!

But Chris is a dancer. He's been scoring, on average, above 30 in his last 8 dances. A non-dancer would not achieve this.

Chris has as much right to be there as anyone else, I've enjoyed his dancing

ok it's not technically brilliant but he puts his heart into it and has done from the start, despite regular appearances in the bottom half of the leaderboard

a quick straw poll taken at my Xmas lunch table today suggests that neither Ali or Ricky have caught the imagination, although they are both good dancers

but Ali is as good at latin now as she was in the first couple of weeks - there's one thing they have kept saying to her over and over about the latin and she still hasn't fixed it

so not really surprised she went

Chris and Ola's partnership sparkles and that's a fact (Jade and Ian were the only others in my opinion)

so don't you worry little Chris, I will be cheering you on and I don't mind who wins on Saturday!

If you didn't mind who won then you wouldn't be cheering on one particular person.

Not necessarily!! I'm cheering for Team Cola only. However, I wouldn;t be surprised nor totally devastated if Ricky and Natalie won.
