What a post
I have to be honest and say that Tom and Camilla was the only showdance i remember well. But what was failed to be mentioned all that series was the fact the Tom had tap dance training and there was actually a video of him doing practically his showdance routine up on youtube before ever he was in Strictly! I think he may have been the original 'ringer'.
Kristine and Simons showdance looks very like the one she did with Jason - if that dance had gone on a minute longer i fear Kristine would have been naked by the end of it!

Everyone knew Tom had tap dance training. Camilla even added a bit in to their Quickstep. Think the judges mentioned it at one point too.

I don't think that Simon and Kristina's showdance is like the one she did with Jason.

I thought Claire Sweeney from series 1 was the original ringah?

I don remember anyone speaking of 'Rinagahs' back then or maybe i wasn't tuned in fully. I think every year must have had at least one?

I did consider her but then rejected her because it made so little difference

Unappreciating the board being flamin' nearly DEAD this year.
Amazing how slow it all is.
I think it says a lot about the 'excitement' of this series.

I remember Zoe getting a lot of stick in series 3 for being eminently sensible and starting to take lessons when she knew she was going to be in but before the official start.
Emma Bunton was probably the fist to get the official ringer tag? Add to thst the fact she was doing the CiN offical single that year and it all got a bit messy, I recall.

Looks like Goat Wrangling will be demonstrated to the greatest extent during their show dance, with ten to two feet on full flap.
TTF on full log jumping round a lily pad too.

IIRC "teacher's pet" was the accepted vernacular for slagging off women who were good just for the sake of slagging them off, before "ringah".
Times are bad, we can't even be bothered to unappreciate in a series that has MDF and TTF as finalists

I'll unappreciate AK
TTF has got on my nerves somewhat this season but he's nowhere near as grating as Mark Wright. His spiel and endless sales pitches, his insincerity and the fact that I can't believe he's in the final itself.
Last week's contemporary rumba was worse than Jake's dance, even though Jake's dancing skills aren't the best. Len's decision to keep him in, when he wasn't impressed with the dance, left me surprised to say the least.
Some people say Mark is like 'Marmite', I see him as more 'Smarmite'. I just don't like him at all.

Thank you cherry pip for saving me the time!
I unappreciate so much that I really feel pretty disinvested now (with the obvious exception that MDF must.not.win). Trouble is, that doesn't really make for interesting posting on my part
as I haven't even bothered to make time to watch ITT on catch-up, once I'd seen Jake and Caroline/Pasha on Monday's show.

I'm just trying not to look it in the eye
To be honest TTF winning doesn't bother me that much. I couldn't grudge Frankie the win and Strictly does tend to fade away after the final so I think we're over the worst
MDF is a whole different proposition. I am cheered by the fact that everyone I know is bemused he is in the final, not buying his Umble storyline and moans 'nnnnooooo - dooonn'ttttt' like Leonard Hofsteder when someone asks Sheldon why he is using hand sanitiser when Tess/Claudia/Zoe/anyone asks him about his journey.
I think the final is definitely feeling the lack of Pixie and Jake. They were the 2 who brought the pizazz and loosing them straight after each other was blow the final is struggling with, in my opinion.

Biggest pity was having Pixie up against Simon. Had she been up against Mark the whole SF would have had a different dynamic.

I wish Sheldon Cooper was a real person so he could be a celeb on Strictly. I reckon they're saving Rocket Man in case they ever manage to sign up Prof Brian Cox (just as I think they're holding back Paperback Writer in the hope of landing Marian Keyes).
I find the producers' ousting of Jake and Pixie really odd, just as I found the choice of Lisa over Austin totally bizarre. Normally when they manipulate things on talent shows or reality shows the aim is to keep in the audience-grabbing, crowd-pleasing contestants. On Strictly it feels like they aim to keep the blandest contestants possible. I say this as someone who liked Jake and disliked Pixie but feel the final is lacking the partisan divisiveness they would have brought to the dance-floor.
Now if they'd have asked Marian to do the Superfan Quiz (Superfan Quiz!) instead of Funnity, I'd have watched it all. She is so fab and a real superfan herself.

I would happily loose Mark but I suspect Frankie deserves to be in the final and I do think Simon is good. I would hate to loose Caroline.
But I agree without Jake and Pixie it seems very flat .
Len is a wally, he actually does not think before making a decision
Austin will be forever robbed and frankly for the impact Pixie going has had I think she wuzrobbed of the final
