It's still better than the National Lottery where people are whooping up number 29, and number 33, and any other numbers whatsoever.

Instead of being an indication of a spectacular performance, it's now become common place and the lack of one denotes serious audience apathy. It must be a dagger to any celeb who doesn't get one ... imagine being less enjoyable than Scott!!

I was surprised when Tess didn't say it for one standing ovation last night.
I did say to my wife that "Poor man in the front row was a bit late standing, bet he was thinking, "Oh, Christ, not again!!

I thought we'd hear the end of " Look, ( insert name of contestant here) They're all on their feet for you! " when Brucie left.
..but no ![]() oh thank you tess, i'd never have noticed and i'm sure the couples are the same, there's no way they'd see people standing up a few feet from them. you offer a valuable service to those of us who simply don't see the standing ovations

Well, the Standing Ovations have provided us with a new spectator sport here at phoebefair villas: who is the last one to drag themselves reluctantly out of their seat each week?
There was a classic yesterday - poor bewildered bloke finally stood up only to find the camera was right next to him. Such fun ![]() |

at last someone who sees what i see and hears what i hear ... it's pathetic, change the record love. couple commence walk over to tess with folk on their feet JUST BEHIND HER and elsewhere. and yet, like good old brucie, she feels the need to say to the couple, who as far as i know can all see, 'look ... LOOK, they're on their feet for you, look there ... and there ... and up there!!!!!'

They have been pretty meaningless for some time.

To be fair, she reads that off the auto-cue.
I really can't imagine her ever making a spontaneous comment. |
