I know people are saying that James cannot let go of Strictly but there seem to be a lot of people who can't let go of James. They read his tweets and interviews and then complain about them. It's not that he's unavoidable is it? So I don't understand. If I don't like someone I just turn the page and not search to find them on twitter.

Also Strictly was part of James's life for quite a few years. His obsession is a bit more justified than ours.

According to James on Twitter, he and Ola have been married for 11yrs and together for 16yrs. That means she was 21 and 16yrs old respectively. In a foreign country trying to advance her career. James must have seemed like a good catch then....I wonder if she feels now it was "any port in a storm"? To be fair, they always seem to be very happy together ( although it seems to me a bit pimpy/ pervy how he touts her glamour shots/ calendar all over the media ) and Ola has said that she would like to have a baby sooner rather than later, so perhaps that's why this may be her last year on Strictly anyway.
I like both the Jordans but feel he is getting a little tedious with his constant criticisms especially of Craig and Bruno.

I'm very divided on James - he seemed to get on with Brendan and Brian on the show and I think that he does have a point about the over-interference of producers - lets face we all hate the way they imposed silly themes on Ashley and Mark last year to name but two.

I do like reading any ex-pros opinion - it is nice to have someone knowledgable talking the dances and giving a different perspective.

However - there's a pretty bad account of him on the 'nice and nasty celebs' thread on the showbiz forum from a guy who worked at the Jordan's pad - and he does appear to have a bit of a problem engaging his brain before his gob and I think he's got a bit of an ego. I can believe his the sort of guy who wasn't nice to runners on SCD.

I also detect a running grudge match between him and Craig which doesn't portray him in a good light.

Brilliant post and imo it sums up the situation perfectly.

One persons "mouthing off" is anothers making informed and justified comments. He isn't pushing his opinions down your throat, you have to go looking for them.........so just don't!

As for him touting Ola's calender around like a pimp.....couldn't he just be incredibly proud of her and everything she does? I think they are both forthright, honest people trying to earn a living so if you don't like what he has to say move away from his Twitter page ffs!

At the end of the day, we're all entitled to our opinion. James expresses his opinions publically, so it's fine for people to comment, positively or negatively.

Absolutely!! I just don't understand why people who get so enraged by what he says keep going back for more. It's not like it can't be avoided.

Exactly I would not waste my time looking at what James was saying if I did not like him.

The salient point is that the BBC can dump anyone they choose from this programme any time they like, even if they are popular (and they have) and James certainly was too.

Nobody was watching for Bruce but he's a treasure and just because James Jordan is dragging him into the argument is no excuse to have a go. Focus, people, it's James Jordan who's the dick not Bruce.

I think that deep inside James is extremely upset and enjoys keeping the link with the programme via twitter.

Out of curiosity did CBB generate any career breaks for James Jordan in his quest for world domination?

Have I missed all the lucrative job offers rolling in? What is he actually doing with his days at the moment beyond going to the gym and playing golf? Is he a sort of house husband whilst his wife goes out to earn their crust?

And why is he giving his SCD opinions away for free on Twitter? Surely somebody wanted to employ him as a roving reporter and pay for his services? Or not?

Which surely only leaves a SCD exposé / mud slinging autobiography left now?

I believe they were careless with Bruce and Artem leaving not to try to preserve more continuity. In my opinion, more effort should have been made to keep James in house (ITT?) and to retain Anya as a dancer.

Plus they've gone slick with the pro dance techno-palaver, which adds to a feeling of straying away from the core idea.

Personally, I think Arty's departure is key. A lot of people watched for him. But it's early in the series... Way too early to call it a success or a dud.

Totally agree! Artem was a big loss to the show and he is such an amazing dancer. Aljaz is possibly the one to watch in terms of dancing now, but I do find that some of the pro dancing is a bit iffy and more SYTYCD than Strictly.

When I was present at a show in September this year my friend and I both remarked on the way that the pro dance routine (The Frozen one) was far too technical. Shot in very small segments of 20-30 seconds and then edited to look as though it was all done as one for transmission the following week. Not really the Strictly spirit at all!

Was Artem really a big deal? I get he was popular on his first series with Kara but then he got Holly, who I think Brendan did much better with in one week than he did all series then there was Fern who was meh and who did he have last year?

I thought I would miss Artem a lot more than I have done. I see that he is fitting in very well on dwts and think maybe it was best for him to leave strictly and be where he wants to be. He seems to have a great partner on there too.

Nor me, but then I wasn't at all keen on him.

Neither have I.

Not his slightly petulant personality, his apparently avant garde choreography, his lovingly burnished pectoral muscles or his ridiculous teeth.
