I hope I'm not causing offence in starting a new thread, and I'm willing to have it deleted, but several people (myself included) mentioned being distracted by the poll at the top of yesterday's thread, and I have often read complaints about how pointlessly over-long threads can become when someone tries to merge both shows.

Well done Pilgrim! I'm very happy with your new thread tonight

20 minutes to go...

Is anyone performing on tonights show?

Thanks, hun! It's just that I think that many of us 'multi-task' while watching Strictly and threads can move fast. I just find that the less clutter there is on a page, the easier it is to manage

OMG is that woman from that dancing film going to be on again? That's not good.

Westlife, apparently...

I totally agree. I post in 2 places at the same time and find it hard to keep up here with clutter at the top

Thanks for the thread Pilgrim - that poll was an irritation - shame we couldn't delete it. Hope tonights show is enjoyable!

WESTLIFE? I thought they had shuffled off this mortal coil. Or was that Boyzone?

Hm. Same thing.

She'd have to be, wouldn't she, since it was recorded last night. I think she just wanted to be liked. Not a good look for a judge!

And yes - Westlife, Boyzone, same difference. Can't shuffle off to quickly for me... though I think that I rather like the song the RT says they'll be singing Guilty pleasures...

That's what I feared. God, but she was awful.

Whats the bet they will be waxing lyrical on tonights show and ITT about the wonderful Jennifer grey!

It isn't that I don't like her, but a robot or puppet with an '8' paddle could have done as much...

Hi
I agree, I like a new thread, especially as I wasn't here last night. Watched the show earlier today.
Ready for results now. I hardly ever get to watch it in real time.

I watched again earlier, but this time I only watched the dances and fast-forwarded through all the waffle, drivel and Jennifer Grey!

Thank you for accepting it! I know that some take thread starting Very Seriously, and disapprove of 'duplicates'. But yes - watching TV and posting in 2 threads simultaneously is time consuming!

I really liked her on DWTS but I just didn't get why they'd invited her to be a guest judge to contribute so little yet be so, bad at it.

Thanks, Pilgrim .... much better to have a straightforward thread for each show

Polls are annoying enough at the best of times without having to scroll past one every refresh !!!

Looking forward to tonight's show as I really don't know who will be in the bottom 2 (with Audley- pretty confident he'll be there, if not then it will be very interesting!). Most likely candidate I reckon is Lulu (or maybe even Russell!? people will get bored eventually). It would be interesting if Jason is there but he definitely does not deserve it.

Maybe she was a bit out of her comfort zone and didn't want to alienate celebrities in a foreign country...? Still... her presence was a tad redundant...

Looking forward tonight, hopefully some good pro dances

Evening.

Looking forward to seeing Matt Flint in the pro dance

Looking forward to the show. I didn't look at the spoiler thread last night, but the scoring was so bizarre it could be anyone in the bottom two. Just hope it's not Jason he was seriously under marked.

Evening all.

I hope tonight's an improvement on last night.
