I thought of some more

-Len is my favourite judge
-Just because Craig gives lower scores does not make him more knowledgeable.
-I don't mind the Cliftons, (although I admit Kevin is probably my least favourite).
-I felt like Kartem were overrated, I wasn't unhappy they won, just meh.
-A few ringers are ok, but the ringiest ringers mostly bore me, I like people actually learning to dance.
-Saying that I really liked Natalie despite the ringa accusations and would have preferred to see her with a different partner, someone more fun.

Oh no I have just thought of another one that will require me to hide in the cupboard again.

I thought Gabby Logan had the potential to be an awesome dancer and that her exit was grossly unfair.

I thought she was very overrated as a dancer and had an annoying personality. She often looked a bit gangly when she danced.

I like Kristina, despite the circumstances in her love life

So do I.

Me too.

I like Ola as well.

K...meh

Bring on the new.

Yep, I like Ola too.

I just said to my husband that I wish Gabby had her chance on the show again.

The gimmicks piss me off...a la poker tables , bath tubs they just kill dance time

Bruce frustrated me

I am glad some of the pro girls are ageing makes me feel better!

I do not care if someone went to stage school / dance school..they are in entertainment industry and generally all will have done some kind of shenanigans as that

I WISH they would stop pretending the results show on Sunday was not taped on Saturday ....and just bloody well do it all in one night the stupidest con EVER

Wish the judges were level playing field with scoring if they are poop at dance but good at performing tell them don't gloss then high mark be fairer in scoring


Breatheeees

I genuinely don't care who wins, ever. I just like to watch.

Don't get me wrong I have favourites, but if they don't win I really couldn't care less.

Aw I love Marian! She's the ultimate super fan and LOVES Pasha...she was on ITT last season

I liked Peter's Tango...

I adore Marian! she completely "gets" Strictly including all the manipulation, triple nans, baby warz etc and is a lovely, funny woman. She would be my dream host for ITT!

Cheesy as he is, I don't mind Peter at all and I don't get all the vitriol thrown at him. He's perfectly ignorable.

Tess is getting better, I'd be disappointed if her and Claudia weren't back next year.

As much as I liked his jive, I'm beginning to suspect that Jay is quite an emotionally needy partner. I bet he's hard work at times.

It's not about Anton's success, it's about Katie's.

I wasn't that keen on Louis Smith.

Austin wasn't robbed. By the time he left he looked physically spent and his much anticipated American Smooth didn't deliver.

I like Gleb and Giovanni.

1. I loved Chris & Ola's Charleston and it's still one of my all-time favourite dances.
2. I like theme weeks, especially Halloween week - not all the music choices though.
3. I don't mind a couple of celebs with dancing experience (Jay and Natalie have too much though).
4. I didn't mind Alesha as a judge and she's still my favourite contestant.
5. Darcey is a great addition to the judging panel.
6. I don't care much about using traditional music, but the beat of music should fit the dance.
7. All of the pros can teach the dances to the standard needed for Strictly - even Anton.
8. I too think "Artem was a pretentious sub Bolshoi, arrogant pain, with frightening teeth and a grim persona. Don't miss him at all." (Thanks Rhumba )
9. Ola and Kristina are still in my top 3 favourite female pros (Natalie is No.1 and Oti gets an honourable mention).
10. Kara Tointon is massively overrated and did well because of Artem's (cheating) style of choreography.
11. Tom and Camilla's showdance is the best we've seen - and the only time I picked up the phone to vote during that series.
12. Most of the time I liked James on the show, although he's lost his way a bit at the moment.
13. I hate it when the judges don't pick up the pros on their choreography for breaking hold in the middle of a dance (Aliona and Artem started this trend)
14. I think Tess does a great job at keeping a live show on track.

Fab idea for a thread.

Every mention of Jill Halfpenny's jive makes me yawn loudly.

I like Len's Lens

Georgia is lovely but dull. I thought it was her Corrie character that made her seem so but.............nope!

I didn't like Louis Smith or Caroline Flack.

Kellie's screaming is annoying but I do like Kevin.

Like Kevin - seems kind and patient with his 'celebs'. He takes his job as a dancer very seriously - and he knows the basics thoroughly.

Like Karen - again kind and patient. Don't always like her style of dancing, but she seems a good teacher to the duffers as well as the good ones.

Joanne is probably the best dancer there - why don't they use her ballroom skills?

Kristina is a good teacher.

I thought of another one - I like Dave Arch and his band. I reckon they do a good job considering what the producers ask them to do.

All time favourite dance, Zoe & Ian's Tango
I like Craig
Chris Hollins should not have won
The Charleston is a novelty dance
I would like Natalie to get a contender
Theme weeks only work if there is genuine dance connection
Len should retire with Brendan or Ian taking over
The Clifton's get on my nerves

Well - here's my 2 cents worth.

- Alesha drove me mad, I didn't rate her dances and hated her show dance. Not going there with her skills as a judge.
- bacofoil made me laugh so much!
- The tom chambers show dance was my all time favourite until Caroline and Pasha last year
- I'm not mad about the Charleston
- would love to see the Argentine Tango back as a semi final dance only. It's too complicated for any other stage
- bring back fusion week..
- Chelsee Healy should have won
- Not all ringers can ballroom dance
- I found Artem arrogant - I didn't rate him and KT
- The Cliftons minus Joanne drive me mad...Joanne is wasted on the sidelines

Here it goes...

I miss James Jordan. I think he was one of the best teachers, and always drew the emotive yet masculine line beautifully in dances like rhumba. His rhumbas with Cherri and Zoe are amongst my faves!

Folk that painfully lost their finals for me - Jason Donovan, Ricky Whittle, Denise Van Outen and *gulp* Pammy Stephenson.

Louis Smith, Kara Tointon & Abbey Clancey are amongst the most forgettable winners of all time.

Rachel Stevens bored me to tears.

Adore Kristina - good teacher, intelligent choreographer, and sinuous dancer.

Tom Chambers - best... showdance... ever!

Burn The Floor Come Dancing gets on my tits.

Brian Fortuna's face just makes me angry. There is no rhyme or reason to this!

The rhumba is one of my fave dances, but I do like it dirty!

KfC is adorable. Don't mind Karen, as long as her feet are hidden!

Make the finals harder again - not just 2 repeated dances and a showdance! What happened to a new one eg AT, plus group dances like lindyhop?

I thought Gabby Logan had the potential to be an awesome dancer and that her exit was grossly unfair.[/quote]

Agree. She could have won Series 5. The Brits don't like people who appear to be too competitive or hard working even if it isn't true.

Everyone else has to plaster a cheesy grin on their face, so why isn't Jays' lack of facial expression mentioned by the judges? (I really like Jay btw)

I don't like the hugs at the end of a dance. Bring back the pro "presenting" the celeb to the audience for the applause.
