Thanks SQ I've registered, but I can't find where the 5 votes mention (rule) is. Is that 5 votes over the whole series or 5 votes on each Saturday or what? Any help gratefully received!
Hmm, they don't actually say do they? Their tweet simply stated "You can VOTE for FREE up to FIVE times online." It doesn't even clarify anything here. I automatically assumed they meant each show, because across the whole series is just ridiculously mean and waste of time, IMO. That wouldn't even be one vote a show :yawn:

Some people are asking them on Twitter. I'll let you know if I find out

Help needed here, too!!!
I'm already registered to make comments on the BBC SCD site. When I went to register for voting it said that user name is taken (by me, I presume!), but when I tried to log in, it said I wasn't registered

Not sure why I think you should have all the answers SQ but you're a good place to start! (Asking anyone really )

Morning Soupy, maybe you need a different username and pw for voting. Seems a bit silly though.

Yeah, I've no idea but I wouldn't waste your time on it. Just sign up again with other details if you need to. Can't see the problem as long as you just vote from one account.

ONLY[/LIST]
Booooo! to UK only


Yeah, I've no idea but I wouldn't waste your time on it. Just sign up again with other details if you need to. Can't see the problem as long as you just vote from one account.
Ack, it just wouldn't work (refused to match my email to a new user name). Will just hope my existing ID works tonight.

Thanks for that link Scout. Natalie either expresses herself well in words and dance or has a ghost writer.




Thanks for sharing it with Brucie!

Only joking. Hope you are feeling better. I've had a nightmare week so will be chillaxing tomorrow and hoping for a strictly fab show tomorrow/tonight!:yawn:
sorry about your nightmare week. Hope you are chill axing Inthe sun. Enjoy tonight!
.
Bravo seren - or are you Pam Ayres in disguise?!

Hope the poorly people are feeling better today.
. Flu this early. My son and GF both seemed to get freshens flu.

Back in France after brief return to Devon to close up house. after two days of clearing and cleaning, I stuffed the last cranny in the car with forgotten things.
My local strictly support network came to the rescue and helped me return a carpet cleaner that I would have had to balance on roof
So thank you soupster for that and the company until the ferry.
Furniture arrived while I was gone. Packing cases everywhere
Enjoy tonight everyone. I am liking Natalie so far and looking forward to great choreo from Arty

Thanks Yes and no to live strictly. I do have a way to watch I player live, but we are going out tonight as the kitchen and everything in it has disparu.
Some lovely shots, however I find the labels at top of photo rather than under, quite confusing. I was amazed at how well hairy Dave had scrubbed up and how much weight he had lost, before I realised it was Artem. Dave was 1 photo down and just as hairy as ever
I did the same with Abbey and Christina. I thought Ajax must have put abbey on the rackto get her neck so curved.
Poor Tony, War Drobe have been at it again.

Thanks for the good wishes and sunshine

Trying to manage expectations and taking Soupy's advice, Rioja at the ready

Enjoy your evening out Clartem, BV and Rosamunda.

Really! I either had zero votes and wasn't logged in or I voted a gazillion times (well, many more than 5 any way ). No clue if they registered or not!

That's weird. Maybe I was already signed in but I didn't need to put in my username or password. You'll have to have it ready next week lateone!

I wonder if many had problems? I'll go have a look on the voting thread.

Enjoyed the show so much more than last week. Some quick thoughts...

Natalie and Artem deserve top spot. Their waltz was beautiful and they both looked gorgeous.

Sophie and Brendan performed the dance of the night. Brilliant Charleston. Very entertaining and Sophie looked like she just stepped out of the Great Gatsby movie.

Mark and Iveta - sheer joy to watch. Not much salsa but a delight to watch

Abbey and Aljaz. She clearly lost it and was overmarked. However she is a natural dancer and I hope her nerves don't continue to let her down.

Fiona and Anton. She was great and undermarked. Why penalise her for her mistake and not others? Len's marking is NOT consistent and it annoys me.

Like Deborah, a natural dancer who is loving it.

Susanna and Kevin- so long ago I've forgotten....

I thought it was a great show tonight anam - glad you enjoyed it too! Phew!

Agree with many of your comments but especially this ^. Sophie was brilliant and outshone Brendan, I think. I almost felt the lifts interrupted some great dancing and I could have done without one or two of them. Maybe my fave Strictly Charleston.

Evah!

Sounds like a right mess. Annoying this is, I managed to get the site to load on my mobile but of course you can't vote on your mobile. Just my luck

Yeah, it seems a few also couldn't get the site to load. It obviously couldn't cope with the strain of it.

I may be alone here, but I wish they'd given the celebs 2 weeks to bed in and the first vote out was after the third dance. Aliona & Tony, for me, are the easy option to go this week as I can't see him improving very much. However, I have to say that I really like all of them (even Julien) because they all seem to want to learn to dance. Even though I already had a liking for Vanessa I found her VT tonight very touching, because I think it's so true that it's hard to describe how dancing makes you feel until you truly experience it. Then there's also the attachment to the Professional Dancers, which makes the choice of the bottom two even more difficult.

Well, for what it;s worth, my choice for the two in the dance off tomorrow would be - Rachel & Pacha and Tony & Aliona. Purely based on the celebs, they are the two I would miss most. Argue away............

Soupy I had to change my password then it was too late to vote! I did sneak a few in on my phone whilst I waited for the link to change my password.
Agree with you, Sophie outdanced Brendan.
Hi Anam, Glad you enjoyed it. But I'm not a massive fan of Deborah. It always sounds promising then doesn't match expectations. I thought she was overmarked last week.

I wonder if Tony will get a lot of sympathy votes?
