An MDF victory the year after a WAG victory might have me flouncing. Next year they would have to stock the show with the likes of Prof Brian Cox, Lucy Worsley and Francesco da Mosto to make up for it. Strictly - The Year of the Middlebrow!
This is Most Definitely Not An Appreciation Thread **Part 21**

I'll give MDF some anti stage fright training for nothing.
Don't torture yourself love. Just pull out - it's not worth it.
Think he'd go for that? *remembers that the point of Mark's very existence seems to be to milk every drop of self-promotional blood from the genre that is reality TV. Answers own question*
I tried talking some sense into my colleagues but I'm afraid I may just have come across as a mildly disturbed, ranting old bat. So nothing new there.

It also doesn't mean that you can't like some things too, it's just more not blindly accepting that everyone is wonderful, the costumes are beautiful, the orchestration is magnificent, the judges are a terpsichorean oracle...
I was in the pub on Saturday lunchtime, well I would be, The point is there was a table of a dozen people having a celebratory lunch of some kind. They loathe Mark and his crying, thought he was ever so fake and hope he doesn't win.
There is hope in the word don't despair fellow DOTS the fakery is becoming obvious
However I unappreciate that story about Mark, as casual conversation in the corridor at best, turned into a wanna be sleaze story.
I also unappreciate that leaderboard with its rash of 10's they didn't really go to the right people.
I thought Pixie outshone everyone, Caroline and Simon next and then Frankie who bless her seems to be a potential DOT with the irritation that she is now showing to TTF. However, her feet are still not good and that Quickstep was not good, when you think of Colin's QS or Chelsee 's that's a proper QS not a trot about the floor with out of time jazzy bits thrown in. Technical terms abounding there

I do agree with you - all Mark cares about is Mark. - and he knows how to get the best air time. I really don't know what the attraction is to be honest. I think Steve, Sunetra and Simon have all been on more than a journey than he has.
You can rant all you want.

I too agree with your marking and assessment. Pixie is a revelation and I do really like Trent's choreography. He pushes her and pays attention to details like foot pointing and hands and arms - and he also includes steps she is good at.

If Mark wins, I'm finished with Strictly. He should NOT be getting any coaching from the judges - very unfair!!!! Anti-stage fright my foot. He should have had it when he started that TV program he's on - or got it from his fiancee. I will call FIX if he wins.

Believe me, the standard would have to be several stages beyond stellar to hook me back in again if MDF wins, in fact MDF making the final might be enough to get me to boycott next year.
I looked again at Sunetra's frockery.
That piece of fabric at the back of the skirt part would be lethal if heavily beaded. It could have had someone's eyes out in the front row if she'd got any closer whilst whanging it about.
And McBusted seem to have been given a Handbook or an A-Z manual of how to play at being rock stars.
They just don't get it. All little boys playing at it.
Still love Dame Shirley.

I think the fact they come across as such nice boys, rather then the rockers they try so hard to be, makes it all very sweet. Underneath that rock n roll exterior, we all know there a group of geography teachers who belong to CAMRA dying to escape

Do you suppose there is a mathematical equation somewhere, there is an inverse attractiveness to Sunetra's dress compared to Caroline's?
Sunetra dress was less attractive this week and Caroline's was more attractive.
Now Judy has gone do both women get a share of her fabulous dresses or will that proportion be shared out with Frankie and Pixie as well?
We need a mathematician, I am sure the formula involves metres of fabric x sequins x length of leg etc etc.
Where the knitted spaghetti came in is anyones guess but I suppose every formula has to accommodate for anomalies.

Tell me why the bow tie and socks look with Robin's vast armhole vest, look with leopard spotted heads look as well?
It was as if all the little boys in nursery raided the dressing up box and each one came up with a different look.
Someone sack,the stylist please or better yet employ one .
I remember the days when I used to think it was a bit unprofessional for Arlene to say things like "I lose all perspective when I watch you dance" to Ramps because it implied a lack of objectivity. I can only imagine the reaction if she'd started an episode of It Takes Two practically dry-humping a cushion whilst dreaming that a particular contestant was in love with her.
Get ready for the theatre tour featuring Nanny Pat doing the lambada......

I hope this isn't true unless she has offered the same advice to Judy/ Steve and all the others that can genuinely say 'it is different than anything they have ever done before'!

End of term, it all got a bit raucous in the staff room, someone broke out the Speckled Hen and, well, that's the result - When Geography Teachers go Wild

Someone on here said that it seemed to be a thing that Vicky Gill was desperate to use... maybe her nan had knitted it & given it to her to be used in one of her costumes & she'd been trying to palm it off on someone ever since

I know she'd tried to palm it off on Pixie, who wisely refused.
I hope no one has told Vicky that Judy went out. That way, with a little shortening of hems, Caroline may get something decent.

Wonder if Vicky belongs to some dressmakers group where they play the material equivalent of that game where someone has to try and work a certain word into their conversation......
If so, I bet she got top marks for the macrame

I agree,Steve,especially ,has been ''on a journey'' as he was a none dancer.full stop.
Simon had only a little experience of dancing lessons ,on the christmas special,but wouldn't come anywhere near the same league of dancing experience of Pixie.(although lovely to watch ,both she and Frankie have been the same expert dancers throughout the series so far from day one.
Sunetra seems to have difficulty with some dances esp latin.She has struggles and
I'd rather support people who have had difficulty in grasping steps etc ,than someone who has a fairly easy time.

Surely Doombar or Hobgobln rather than Chicken.
Im actually kind of looking forward to Karen Hardy being back on ITT tonight - be interesting to see how many 10s she thinks were deserved on Saturday night!
I think they only real way we will know what kind of public support Mark has is if he does a bad dance and the judges have to score him down. I would think that thing with Darcy was her bumping into him backstage before the show started one night and she told him to take a deep breath! But Mark being Mark has made it out to be one on one training!
