totally agree ...for week 9 it was unbelievably bad all round

OK that was without doubt the weirdest night of strictly scoring I have ever seen.....but I am going to put myself out on a limb here and say that tonight Ann will make her first and hopefully her last trip to the bottom 2 and be eliminated. I think Patsy will be with her.

I think there was method in that complete bonkers madness.

watch me be totally wrong now !!!!!

It really is difficult to believe we're getting to the quarter final point. Not even too high expectations can account for it.

I would be miserable if I gave it my all , trained through pain , trained to the point of collapse , did a wonderful dance , put my heart and soul into it .
And every damn week a woman gallumphs about , plods and stomps and sit in and ungracious heap on the floor , and get standing ovations and sails through
I think I would fling in the towel to and tell them to go to hell . No wonder tonight fell flat on its face . I think they are all rightly pissed off now ,Clebs and Pros must be wondering why they bother .
So who knows who is out tonight, non of it makes any sense .

My sentiments exactly.....and isn't everyone connected to the show being very nice about it instead of coming out and telling the truth?

Gosh....what a dire show that was tonight!

I'm going to catch up with The Apprentice, but I will post as soon as I get the text. May the best woman win footygirl!

Ireckon it was designed to squeeze Ann's vote to get her out. Anyhow Buddy and I have siurces there tonight - and it is kick out time about 9.45 for the audience. So anytime from then on

Totally agree. the joke's wearing thin now.

Absolutely Buddy - It is a bit of fun

Brilliant , Thank you .We can but live in hope . If Ann doesnt go I worry for the rest of thew show .Then who will give a damn anymore .

I was very disappointed with the standard of dancing tonight. When will people realise that Craig is being the sole voice of reason on the panel?

OK, while we wait the total scores and averages after tonight. Averages in brackets.

1. Kara = 305 (33.9)
2. Matt = 303 (33.7)
=3. Pamela & Scott = 299 (33.2)
5. Patsy = 252 (28.0)
6. Gavin = 229 (25.4)
7. Ann = 148 (16.4)

I think that is exactly it. All of them apart from Ann train their little socks off yet its Ann that seems to be getting the votes. If that doesn't knock your morale what will?

All through Ann's 'dance' I kept hoping she would bash into the iceberg and drown

I hope you're right, but the judges made asses out of themselves tonight.

Why the Public keeps on voting for her beats me. I don;t think she should resign though. She was asked to go on the show and is paid for doing it. It is those working for the BBC who invite the Celebs we should be blaming for the farce it is turning out to be.

Me too , I wanted them to sink in freezing water and turn blue !!
But I honestly think they all loooked low and the moral was on the floor , I know I wouldnt bother if I saw Ann sailing through .,I would give up and let her have the blloody thing .

Are you inside my head Abba, my thoughts exactly - theres just no point in running yourself into the ground every day/night in the training room twisting ankles or necks and come out and perhaps get 1 point extra than someone who doesnt even bother. Its like she feels she somehow doesnt have to do any steps.

I have this feeling that Gavin will be in the bottom 2 it's a sad feeling cos i love Gav but who knows i might be wrong

I think Wales might save him. I think Patsy and Ann

It's hard to believe Anne is only 2 years older than Pamela.
Must be in dog years.

Not that I want Patsy to leave by any means - but I hope you're right.

But I do fear for Gav. Although those trousers were pretty unforgivable!

ROTFLMAO.

B*t*hy but hugely funny

I think he could be in trouble as the Welsh have a big rubgy game today and it was on during the show so people may not ahve watched....

you really serious?????????
