Isn't It Great To Have 'Strictly' Back...All The Better Knowing That Cowell Hasn't...
got his grubby little mits all over it. 'Strictly' has always been better than Cowell's efforts.
Anyway...great to have the series back, bigger and better than before. Favourites from tonight have to be Matt and Fel. Goldie has potential to. Great to see Brucie back where he belongs. I wish I could say the same for Tess. Tess, it is couples not coples. Sort it out love |

Much as I hate the tit for tat rubbish that goes on between the two, I do think that, thankfully, the two shows have a different audience. I am glad to be part of the "older" (33) audience that Cowell and Walsh derisively refer to. At least I know that although the judges may try and manipluate the show on Stricly, it isn't a complete marketing exercise like it is over on the £ Factor.

Yes it is. My main fear before it started was we were going to see less of the footwork this series judging by the paucity of it in the training clips. So was pleasently surprised that it was the same.
Disagree with your last paragraph. Bruce was a pain, only interested in how his crappy jokes are going down, while Tess was excellent and professional as always. |

Xfactor is still the most watched show in the country tbh.
I only watch xfactor when it happens to be on...and there's nothing else but there are endless people i know who find Strictly boring and get surprised that i watch it. Guess it's just taste |

I thought Strictly was excellent tonight and this is gonna be a great series. Had the kinda special feel last seen on series 5
I cant stand Cowell and never watch his tripe... P.S. Im not too much of an oldie... in fact much younger than S Cowelll himself. |

I've been watching strictly since I was in my early 20's. Does that mean I have been watching the wrong show?! I think the difference is SCD has class and the other is trash! People who watch SCD have taste - simple as.

I gave up watching X Factor during the 2nd series in 2005 and now it is TV trash to me (I appreciate millions disagree).

I am 35...certainly not old, past it or whatever...and a musician...now that's a novelty! Is Cowell a musician? musical? can he write music? I doubt it. He is just trying to suffocate the music scene with the drivel that he churns out...namely covers. I would love to be in the audience of, what he passes for, as entertainment, and boo all the way through. I hate him...the rich.... |

Absolutely right on all accounts.Whatever happens, Cowell must not get number 1 this Christmas. He must be stopped. Facebook...facebook... |

The cast of Strictly might be older this year, but the show felt revitalised.
There was a fresh buzz about it. By contrast, I tuned into a few minutes of X Factor on ITV2 earlier and it felt stale to me. It's not all about having younger contestants. Far from it. |

Even when the judges or producers try to "push" a person the public can see through it... (Helloooo Lisa Snowden! ) I dont feel as patronised when watching SCD as when Ive seen extracts of x Factor |

Don't know why I watch it to be honest.
