I've enjoyed your tenure - the themed weeks, the abolition of the dance-off, Zoe on ITT, the improved ratings, new pros (minus Jared, but you rectified your grave mistake so won't count that against you) and Len's lens.

You turned down Tristan McManus - are you nuts???!! (Won't mention Doddery Bruce, Useless Anton, crazy song choices and the cringey VTs...)

Yes.
Must be
Nothing else for it, really

1 Harry
2 Robbie
3 Alex
4 Jason
5 Chelsee
6 Holly
7 Anita

1 Chelsee - the most natural dancer!
2 Harry - for his ballroom only!
3 Jason - for his sheer hard work!
4 Holly - so much potential!
5 Alex - another one who has put in the hard work!
6 Anita - so enthusiastic!
7 Robbie - so deluded! But, he loves it!

Messages to Moira (stolen from TuscanSun):

1 Keep Pasha and Artem under 24-hour armed guard – do not let them escape

2 Get Craig to compile a rule book – and enforce it from the off

3 Ditch the 'meddling' from the production team - props, ‘comedy’ VTs and music-choice

being a middle aged (ish) guy I cant say its ever been my ambition to get on to Page 3 but I am delighted we have reached that landmark on here - Thanks everybody (please) keep them coming

1. Jason
2. Chelsee
3. Harry
4. Anita
5/6/7. Robbie/Holly/Alex

Positive:
Zoe on ITT
Sportsmanship between the contenders

Negative:
Inconsistency/erraticism of the Judges
Lack of definition in the rules

Apologies for the multiple messages (there are more! )

If you are happy to do the maths, I would carry on, come with results after Sundays show.

Re a new thread every week, that would keep it tidy but be prepared for people accidently posting on previous thread.!

And I don't find your thread remotely terryish...

LOL! Your thread doesn't have the same tone as Terry's, so I wouldn't worry about that! Of course, it could be that you are Terry under a different ID and taking the mickey out of us all, but it's a good thread, so who cares?

I'd go with your original suggestion of ending this week at 6.00 pm on Sunday, but I'd maybe aim for in excess of 100, as that's still a decent amount of votes on here. Personally I'd vote every week!

Like Zoe on ITT
Dislike scripted VTs, and would prefer to see more training footage instead.
Would like to see a return to more constructive criticism of the dances.

AS work is a bit slow today I just popped back in and i have just discovered the I have unknowingly committed a sin

I have read on one the appreciation threads that "advertising" this post on ALL those Threads is considered spamming which I now understand is a serious no no and the MODS dont like it - all I can do is appologise I didnt know but I have realised i cant appoligise to each individual thread
because I assume that would be spamming too

I will go away and read the rules

MODS all everyone I POSTED i am very sorry

Hi leftfeet2!

Your post was on the Vincent thread, then it just disappeared!

Don't know where...............................

Anyway, I have voted.

Goodness me some of the rubbish abuse and general nastiness that goes on, that is completely ignored and someone gets upset over a perfectly friendly post about a good fun thread, some of the people on the appreciation threads must be very 'precious' souls.

Ah, no, no one complained!! It was more like friendly advice in case the mods getcha!!! That's why my post was peppered with smilies. Not to give the wrong impression

Eh, please don't make the APs sound bad!!

Your post has disappeared now, so the moddies must have been round with a dust-pan and brush. I wouldn't worry about it!

O goodness me - more unintended consequences I deffinatly saw what I saw on on your Thread as friendly advice (thank you)

if anyone else feels like taking part in the Strictly General election & Referendum please feal free

There there there. Shake hands. Air kiss. Hugs!!! We're all right! Sorry, I sometimes express myself in a dopey way. Just ignore me... So to speak. Not ignore, I mean!!!

Just wanted to add another 'negative' to Moira!


Keep the couples dancing the same dance each week, so that all latin dances are the same and all ballroom dances are the same. There is no way a paso (a walking dance) can be compared with a samba (a highly technical dance) - I think that's the reason behind so much 'inconsistent' judging! Bring back the opportunity to 'compare'.

I would like the VT's to be scrapped and back to actual rehearsal room training footage.

I've now decided between 5th and 6th place and thus amended my list as follows:

1. Chelsee
2. Harry
3. Holly
4. Jason
5. Alex
6. Robbie
7. Anita

Am I allowed to say thank you - to have more than 2000 people look at this post in less than two days is fantastic

Perhaps while you are looking maybe you would like to (please ) consider voting too

Thank you
