Apologies if anybody has done a thread about this (I did a quick search but nothing seemed to come up ) but it seems to me that nothing much has been said about the Blackpool show this year on Strictly yet.

Last year it was all everybody talked about for weeks and all the pros and celebs mantra seemed to be "if we could just get to Blackpool..."

I'm not even sure when they are doing the Blackpool show, although I am guessing it must be in the next few weeks.

Has anybody else noticed this or is it just me?

Except Claudia who said Ann would be doing a salsa in Blackpool .

Ann will be doing a joint 'I want to get to Blackpool where I spent years doing politics' and 'I know I was boring this week but next week I'm doing a Samba, vote me in so you can have a good laugh at me' in this week's show.

Wasn't it Craig who kept banging on about it last year?

While we all dash out to put the kettle on .

corrected

LOL , or simply dash out ....................

I will sky plus and forward through that bit. All a bit predictable :yawn:

Unless of course Alesha comes out with an 'I had to endure that' type comment!

If she does, then I will send Alesha a bunch of roses and an ex politician a bowl of Bavarian cabbage soup (nutritious and possibly slimming)..

Nobody in their right head wants to go to Blackpool. Instead of Vegas the should do a Calamity Jane theme http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MnUrhptPSo

I can't imagine why anyone would want to go to Blackpool.

I adore that film

Doris Day's cute in there, isn't she?

Vegas theme, so the sub-text is

"Cheap and Tacky!"

*shudders*

I cannot begin to imagine how much cheaper and tackier they can get at this stage! Halloween was bad enough!

I wonder what shade Aliona will go this week? What's the Vegas variation of pink? And how much more fake bling can Pammy handle?

Let's guess what props they will come up with in Blackpool Vegas theme!

Slotting machine! *kerching*
Outlandish blond wigs with big fat feather boas! *erm*
Muppets aka Colin's showdance! *argh!*

And it will all end with CSI investigating the blood bath.

Not much fuss being made about getting to Blackpool this year it seems:


I am hoping that Nellie will wander into the circus and get taken
on as the star attraction.

No Circus in Blackpool Just 80 mph winds which could lift Wids into orbit if it gets under those dreadful frocks.

I think she has enough ballast in her chesticles to remain on terra firma

Could be a hot air balloon! Oh and she doesn't need air bags in the car.

Only one I`ve heard mention it is Patsy tonight on ITT

Yes, Patsy was playing the must get to Blackpool card - unnecessarily as she is not the hopeless dancer that Craig was. Michelle to go this week.

The spectacle of it has worn off after just one year.

Did hear Jimi saying briefly he would like to get to Blackpool (obviously not loud enough). Other than that all the talk has been from the BoD about their BP Samba.
