and no steak. What purpose does this farcical elongation of Saturday's live show provide? I have now just started to watch something else and just switch back over for the dance off. Even that is merely a formality. Len's Lens is just plain boring; he is increasinly showing his ability to make you loathe him. The panel going over what their observations were on Saturday. It really might be a time to revisit this and think about a more penetrative format to combine the two. I know it's been argued for and against but Sunday night's viewing is now, for me, a going through the motions jobby.

I enjoy it because Claudia is always a treat & I like the back stage stuff from Saturday. I could do without some of the singing, I would prefer them to showcase dancing (not necessarily from the shows Pros) rather than singers.

agree with that Jan; just get the feeling this is all about them money when they showcase singers who are making comebacks etc rather than provide a platform for what the show is about and it's not singing. The singing from the band complements the show not facilitates or drives it. Thoughts anyone on that or am I wrong?

You make a very good case for an all Saturday night show madetomeasure.

Yes I really enjoy Claudia but I do like some of the music , some, like Andy Williams is excruciating and I hate it when they bring their own dancers .

It doesn't matter to me whether it is on the Sunday or Saturday I am just glad to get 2 shows

I think perhaps they could interchange & have some singing but also some dancing. Last weekend it was nice to see Anton & Iveta dancing & I wouldn't want to loose things like that. I would also like to see some different types of dancing. Some ballet would be nice & I would have loved to see and find out more about those junior ballroom dancers from Saturday.

Anton and Iveta were sublime every year Anton does something like that and I was thinking I would miss it this year without Erin but Iveta worked equally well .

It was stunning

It provides us with lots of spoiler thread fun and a juicy element of jeopardy, that's what!

Will the mole come through for us? Is the mole a troll? Will the spoiler be spoiled? Hours of fun!

Good of them (the producers) to go to so much trouble for us really!

They should scrap the guest artists and have the SCD band perform instead. Free and usually much more musical.

I don't like the dance off and have a standing date on a Sunday now, so I watch the results show on demand, having read the spoiler posted Saturday night.

This is a first for me and I have to say the show is all the more enjoyable for it.

It must make for a very long day for all involved, apart from Bruce. I agree it's almost worth it for Claudia, and if they cut Zoe Ball's sillly promo videos and Len's lens the show could be over much sooner without losing anything of entertainment value. Also, shortening the ridiculously long pauses before announcing which couplesare/aren't in the dance off would help.
