This now needs to happen.

I've got a feeling Iveta would buy all the worst tat and then none of it would turn up at auction and all of it would turn up in her house.

I'm seeing lots of heavily fringed Victorian lampshades. However, she would positively terrify the good people at Hanson's Auction House into bidding.

Trent and Natalie dancing together instantly made me think of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPseTAJh7wg Also this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCdHktd-wzQ I like Trent so far but I do still miss Ian and Natalie dancing together.


Oh, was that what she was trying to do? I thought she'd swallowed something bad and was trying to get it out of her throat without anyone noticing. I'm neither particularly for or against Lady Gaga as a general rule but that wasn't a good performance from either her or Tony Bennet.


Identity theft! Has Iveta been teaching Grimsby new tricks? Honestly, I'm starting to feel as though Grimsby is a character in its own right on Strictly. I wouldn't be remotely surprised if someone announced that Grimsby was taking over as the new producer or the new head judge, such is its apparently power of personality.


Seriously though, can anyone think of a better exit for Nat this year? Dressed in purple and gold, fanning herself furiously to the opening chords of Simply the Best, giving a masterclass in skirt swishing and showing herself off while letting it be seen very clearly that she was dancing with her partner and generally looking like there was nowhere else she'd rather be. Best exit ever. I also adored Tim's leaving speech and dance. I've gone in and out of liking him and his headgear in training mostly makes me think of Mr Smee but that was an incredibly classy exit and I like that he and Natalie got to go out with a bit of a bang, looking like they were having the time of their lives.

I liked everyone just standing round watching them and clapping rather than thus usual huggy scrum

I noticed that the record he picked up at the beginning of their cha cha was "Grimsby's Greatest Hits". Last week in their VT he left a note for her to go up to the rooftop signed "Kevin, from Grimsby". We get it, he's from Grimsby. Now, if on his next visit home (with girlfriend and sister) Grimsby could be somehow swallowed into a black hole, that would be great.

I love Queen Nat and I think Tim does too. Such a lovely speech, and it seemed genuine in comparison to a lot of the speeches about how they'll be friends forever.

That being said, ringer for Natalie next year please?

So glad I set the recorder , going to watch Nat a-swishing and a-fanning over and over

Maybe she is pregnant

Did you see CRH and widdicomb on BH a couple of weeks ago?

That man has awful taste in women,

But oh the irony for that judgemental , bigoted women to become a fag hag

She, Lisa R and Alison can form an SCD novelty act - a trio called the Revelly Sisters (aka Craig's bitches).

(Sorry Alison - I actually don't mind you but there was a gap in the act and you were volunteered.)

Who the hell is voting for him ? I don't do Radio One. Is he promising all his listeners free tickets to see some pretentious band ?

I don't think the self professed Princess of Grimsby wants to go through with it any more than he does. I predict a sudden debilitating illness and we will have to suffer VTs every week of her Mummy and Daddy patting her fevered brow and serving her chicken soup in her childhood bedroom ...... then hopefully they will all turn into zombies and be speared in the head by Rick from the Walking Dead.

I think if FFG suddenly had to take to her bed, we'd find MFG (Mummy From Grimsby) elbowing Aliona out of her way, Aliona being the one who should replace her.

actually I really would not mind FFG having a few weeks off it would be really interesting to see what another pro could do with Scott. I think you learn a lot about a pro from how they deal with a duffer, Natalie managed to make the same man who did THAT jive do the stunning AS at Wembley and Kristina managed to be both sweet and make John Sargeant charming.
Anton went really down in my estimation with how he dealt with Nancy, encouraging people to laugh AT her.
I wonder if anyone could do better with Scott, I know they couldn't do worse.

Sorry, nothing to do with Mark's troosers.

A speaker that goes on the floor facing the arteeest.
Always boring black. So they absolutely cry out to have covers made in sparkly fabric.
It's the new thing don't you know. Notice when famous peeps appear on the show and stand on the floor to sing, they have them in front of them and they are always sparkly.



Nah also got waylaid putting glitter on pumpkins.



Have watched all now though.

Mrs Murray's ironing board stiffness actually served her well.

If Alison Hammond doesn't stop squealing I may have to drop a wedge monitor on her head.

I have three, so the others can be dropped on both of the Grimms.
I'll do it for free.


I had heard that Brendan's troosers spilt before I watched, and when I saw those gaping pockets, I thought THAT was where they'd ripped. I didn't realise there was a proper, revealing your todger rip!!!!!
And yeh, he doesn't seem very into it this year.

Ga Ga was shouty and so was Mr Bennett. Not pleasant.



I think we should start a campaign for Natalie to be given a good dancer next year.
We should not be deprived of her fabulousness.

That sax during Tim's dance sounded like a horrid synthesised sax sound -

But the bongo playing [I forget which song] was sublime - although I'm still puzzled as to why they plonked a set of Congas on stage?????


And why did we have to have the Grimsby Tree Frog going to Cleethorpes?
I bet he's really from Humberstone you know.

What's the bloody fixation with Grimsby FFS????



And I see we have no thread pet this year, but dare I ask, has anyone expressed any eagerness to visit Blackpool yet this year?
I fast forward a lot of it so I miss stuff.

No surprisingly no Blackpool list age this year.

There are a few desperate to go the rest desperate to win so Blackpool appears completely irrelevant

well, when you've got Grimsby in the mix, why bother about Blackpool.

That's the only reason I would inflict him on Natalie (although I suspect she's too tall), because I'm damm sure she would do better with him, and if all else failed she could swish her skirt and fan magnificently

please don't - I'll be unemployed if Grimsby disappears! And what if I were working there when it was swallowed up - you'd have to live with the murder of a DOT on your conscience...

I was rewatching all the dances this morning & noticed Scott's fist clench at the end of the song for the first time. It was hilarious & reminded me of Douglas at his father's funeral in The IT Crowd

I know she's proper pregnant but he needs a Lilia.

I think if he wasn't so obviously actually trying it would be less painful to watch.

The good news this week is Aliona will be doing a dance with Tristan. The bad news is the dance also includes Karen and TTF. How come the Grimsbys get in on everything?

Right ! A good old fashioned non appreciation rant if you please
Craig does my ruddy head in with his fake accent and his poncy Dahling aftrr every sentance
I simply cannot watch him anymore and to mute him . Grrrrrr

uanpreaciating the fact that the more i look at Karen Haurer the more i think of Pocahonta.... and the less i like her :O:O:O

Not appreciating the stupid pointless balloon sculpture segment given to Frankie and Kevin in tonight's ITT. A waste of a few seconds of everyone's time! I know similar has been said elsewhere!
