Sorry for my long absence, internet here is absolutely terrible so haven't even seen any of the vids on youtube (Takes only about three days to download completely). Have also been working my little socks off (16 hours a day for the last month and a half), but I'm glad Brendan is still in. I should be back in a couple of weeks so I'd be extremely grateful if all you lovely angels could keep him in for me Just hit redial!

Just popped in to say that. I'm off before the internet decides to kick me off again.

Oh drat!

I had read the spolier so knew they were out, but at the same time its still sad.

Is it me or are people reading things into things that aren't there? There is a thread in the main forum about saying have Michelle and Brendan had a domestic, I personally think not.

Have to say though that my day out at the guinea pig show made up for the disappointment of Brendan being out.

Poor Brendan another year another dud better luck next year

Thank you!!


Cassie,look forward to you getting back.Sounds exhausting,but hope it's been fab-u-lous!

I have warmed to Michelle but there just was no way she could compete to the level of the top two...Please please please,if he does the show next year please let him get someone that has a big fan base,and is so good that I don't need to spend money on keeping them in the show...

Have a heavy heart this evening,I had thought my being a fan of Brendan had waned a bit but I find not!

I love his dancing and he is a true gentleman.

Yes, me too, I admit I am a recent convert (in the last few years).

I must be mad, we now have a Guinea Pig called Brendan!! (I sucumbed today!)

I have been a fan since the first night he stepped onto the Strictly floor in 2004 - In mourning tonight. Will miss him so much but Michelle not so much.

Way to go 'Brendan' the Guinea Pig! Wonder if he is as good a mover?

A true gentleman - Always!

I'll let you know on that one lol, he's only a wee baby (I say wee, he's about 11 weeks old).

Lets just say the little Brendan cheered me up a bit - along with one of our piggies coming 4th overall - still would like the real human Brendan in though!

I did wonder though, last year he did go to Blackpool with them, even though he was out, wonder if that will happen this year?

What a shame,will really miss them.I hope Brendan is still doing the pro dances every week-thought he and Natalie were fab doing the American smooth.

Sorry to say that's me done for this season now Brendan's out none of the other pros or celebrities interest me that much

Brendan and Zoe last night-they really are a beautiful couple

Thanks Ruth What a lovely photo,they're so beautiful & elegant

I'm in shock - I won a competition where I get to go to a VIP event in london, with dance masterclass with Brendan!!

Very excited.

Hope you have a great time. Just don't try to Jive standing right behind him - it is absolutely impossible! Your eyes get drawn away from his feet by other things!

I entered but haven't been lucky enough to win this time. You are the second person I have seen who won this chance - someone on Twitter too but she can't make it!

Enjoy!

I never win anything!

Need to decide what to wear!

Congratulations KitKat,what a fab prize

Thanks for this! Lovely pictures!

You're very welcome-Twitter is fab

Gutted - Just got tickets through on Facebook an hour ago! Anyone have a helicopter? I live in Glasgow!

Mad because is says on it reply be 22nd November? If I had got them last week or even on Monday I could have made it - would have pulled a sickie tonight for Brendan no problem. Wish I was going!

Off to cry in a corner till its over!

Please let me know how it goes - One of my other friends is going now too and I am gutted.

Very nice club we went to called Amika - slightly tacky and OTT but still lovely. Started off with a strawberry bellini which was ok, bit sickly. Got there at 6.30 and so just sat with my cousin and bitched about what everyone else was wearing til 7 when we went into another room to meet Brendan.

There was about 60 or so women and 2 men who were obviously dragged by their partners as they looked so miserable!

Brendan came out, he is very gorgeous and very funny, he did dance with a couple of women to show some steps but sadly not me.

We started with the salsa, just learning all the basics and I was still sober at this point so can't blame the drink!! No one really knew what they were doing so at least I wasn't alone!

After that we did the cha cha charrrrrrrrrr which I was better at than the salsa I think. We only learnt these two dances before we were sheperded off into another room for the champagne and nibbles, along with manicures and massages - I had one of each

There were two other classes after ours so we had to wait a while before we got to have a photo taken with Brendan, which I have on my camera but it isn't the best. Quite a long way back and he's looking at me, while I looked at the cameras lol. I think he must have said something to me but I have no idea what it was, cos I was waaaaay over my limit combined with nerves and actually being so close to him!

I have no recollection of getting the tube back to paddington which is quite worrying but do remember the next bit as there was the ridiculously loud man sitting near us and he was winding me up, so I started talking loudly back to my cousin - much to her embassasment - but he still didn't get the hint!

That's it really, got some pics and keeping an eye on facebook since there were a few professional photographers there and they were going to put them on facebook.
