Regardless they upped the people watching by a large margin. If you want the real elephant in the room it's that she represents a deep undercurrent in society which abhors the society the permissives have produced.

Oh good ole middle England
If her politics don't affect things then nor do anyone else's. I don't like her politics but she wasn't so condensending to everyone, bothered to learn to dance even if she's wasn't much cop and wasn't getting people who do care eliminated I could let that go.

Joining the pact
I will join on the understanding that I can go off to other threads and moan about her.
What was that song in Jungle Book where all the elephants went for a walk trunk to tail ?
Can we have a name for our group ?

I have refused to watch or listen to Nellie
I usually sky+ the show and fast forward Nellie and her ring master while they perform their party piece... I think its the way to go... until Nellie waves goodbye to the circus.

She was afraid to come out in the open
And so a blanket around she wore
She was afraid to come out in the open
And so she sat bundled up on the shore
Two, three, four, tell the people what she wore

The ratings might be up with people watching Strictly because of a certain person, but I reckon they are up far more because it isn't again X-Factor.

No, dear, it's "to whom do you refer as 'elephant'?"
Answer: Nellie, of course.
Here's your armband, and a jigger of whisky to get you going.

Do you want ice in your drink, black_vine, or do you siphon yours straight from the barrel?
I'm really not sure a drink is a good idea right now on account of me seeing or not seeing elephants in this here room.
