I don't make a point of watching Strictly every year because I would get bored, I might watch one or two but not the whole series - I've watched all this year's so far and enjoyed them though!
Anyone bored?

And it's the same this year, I absolutely loved last year and the quality of dancing. I also loved Louis & Flavia.
The only think keeping me watching is Natalie & Artem, if she had been too poorly to continue, I would have stopped watching.
I really do think, Natalie apart, that this bunch are incredibly average dancers, lovely, lovely people, but very average and just because they're handing out 8s and 9s like Haribos at a toddler's birthday party, doesn't mean I think the standard of dancing is there.”

Thank Alli F. Im sure come friday I will be just as keen as other weeks for saturday to come and logging my spoiler time on DS in anticipation. Maybe its a 'mid series' apathy and I shall be desperate for it not to end as always by mid December.

Also, some posters might say they are bored as a way of saying they are somehow more superior than others, and could sense something going South while the gulliable mass (i.e. us in general) are still 'in the dark'. The high-horsey-finger-pointy-throwing-head-back-and-laugh-at-the-peasants mentality. Such people should best be left to their own superiority (i.e. ignored).

Lol. I would definitely never dream of saying my expression of boredom mid way on this series is based on feelings of superiority. Just a rummination opened for consideration. Anyone who witnessed my manic dancing around the room and texts to all my friends when I received the congrats you have tickets email for week three, dragging myself out of a sick bed to elstree and shameless sucking up to the crew on the night to try and get moved forward will testify that im a huge fan and I have no sense of wishing to appear superior to anyone on the forum when it comes to this show. Plus if I had any discernible talent I'd be posting on the Ikea catalogue thread instead lol
Watch it every year. Watch every Takes2. It's the best part of the year. This one is as good as any !!! Wheeeeeeeeee .

Not common. In fact rare! Such happy disposition!

This should be discussed philosophically in another forum!
