Unappreciating I feel out of step with others, I enjoyed parts of tonight
I hope those who stood out for me are safe this week otherwise I will be in a grump

Last time I complained to the BBC I got a standard reply. Interestingly, Channel 4 actually gets back to you with a personal letter.
My o/h said he is not going to sit through another session of Strictly. He hated the backing dancers and thought one of them caused Jake to have a problem. He is also heartily sick of the ridiculous VTs.

I enjoyed some, coppertop, but as I said they could have happened largely intact in a non-themed night. But the theming ruined most other dances. I think most would agree that Simon and Caroline's dances were good, but equally Sunetra, Pixie, Jake all suffered due to the theme.

Oh hun, I´m right there with you. I just didn´t enjoy the show at all because of the overtheming. But I did really enjoy Caro´s dance, probably my favourite of the series so far.
But as a show I enjoyed last week a LOT more.
I don't think Sunetra would ever have been good in a rumba, but I don't think she was as bad as the judges ,,especially Craig made out.
In fairness her arms were exquiste 4 for them and her legs kept moving 3 for them 7 out of 10 would have been fair, but marking against others I don't think she was worse than Mark or Jake

Me neither - and her timing was fine. Really hope it is Mark against Pixie or Frankie with Mark going!

I think the bad and just plain bizarre were so over the top it took any shine off anything that threw off the shackles of the theming and teetered towards normality.
Let's face it, next year in the Great Round the World Week Reminisences the first thing anyone will take about is a shouty, plate smashing, Greek Argentine Tango. At some point people may also remember that Simon did a dance ...

Whereas Sunetra's involves memorising complex medical terminology and speaking it with authority! (something MDF could never do remotely convincingly
) Abdominal aortic aneurism or whatever it was she came out with the other day.

You should hear the things I come out with at work. You´d be well impressed.
Spoiler is in for those who want to know.

What's your job, AGU? I used to work in cardiac cath lab.
Tonight's show was truly 50 shades of crap. Only Simon and Caroline redeemed themselves.
By the way, did anyone notice Ola snatching the playing card out of someone's hand during Mark's trip to the Clauditorium. I'd been watching Nat playing with an Aussie flag so I didn't see it all but she really looked mad as a snake.

I can just see you walking into a room by throwing the double doors apart and shouting "We've got a Disney Princess situation on our hands here!"

The problem with the BBC seems to be that they underestimate the intelligence of their audience - it doesn't just affect Strictly, it applies to a lot of their 'serious' (current affairs/news) programmes as well. It's a shame because the Beeb used to be the envy of the world.

"No, hang on, the patient is a Ms Clifton from Grimsby, I'm afraid there is nothing we can do here - the situation is terminal. Just give her some privacy, some fairy lights and Sister McCheesy singing "Tale As Old As Time". Oh, and put her in the pink cubicle."

On the other hand, hold 'Tale As Old As Time' - the problem seemed to start when she lost the Battle to be Belle and it could get ugly.

Your guys have been watching our DWTS-US faketastic mess too much. In fact, I think you may have outdone us tonight. Not sure if this or faux-Valmances and Tea Party babies are worse. It's a race to the bottom.

You're absolutely correct Doctor. Hold the prescription for "Tale As Old As Time" and take this one for "Once Upon A Dream" instead. With 5ml of "Bibbity Bobbity Boo" just for palliative effect.

I loved Simon's waltz, and I loved Caroline's Charleston.
They were both odd diamonds in a pile of weirdness, although I'm not dissing the effort made by all the others.
It's the application of themic crap, unevenly, the stupidity of a lot of it, the random unfairugliness, including random extra dancers and impossible expectations.
I laud P and T for actually managing a repulsive and stupid idea to render it merely weird.
I think I HATE the new dancemaester.

That jerk is from Australia. He ruined our show (but not to worry they've found a good substitute ruiner Mandy Moore - when Derek isn't running the show to showcase himself and his family and friends - hey he probably ordered them to send Jason over to you so he wouldn't get in the way here.) But anyway, as indefensible as our lot are, I do NOT want to take undue credit for Gilkiscum.

All of this with bells and whistles on.

Yep, you´re right. I´m a toy doctor.

I know, I just meant he was involved in DWTS, but knew he was from Aus.
He also worked on burn the floor, which is where all of our dancers are from now (mostly) and everything with our show has gone downhill since he came on board and you barely see any ballroom dancing now, it all may as well be showdances.
