Artem's muscles are too big, his teeth scare me, and he has bigger boobs than me!

Oh, and I don't care about the purity of the dahnce, if it's entertaining, it's entertaining, good or bad.

And the foxtrot and VW are boring, as is the waltz often. I'd much rather watch a charleston than a foxtrot

And Strictly should be sued under the trade description act for their quicksteps, they're barely moderately slow, I've seen anaesthetised tortoises move faster than most quicksteps, but when danced well it's my favourite ballroom

Jake Wood's dancing made me feel nauseous! I couldn't see what the fuss about him at all!

Oh, oh, I don't want more training footage on It Takes Two, there is enough already, I don't want to see the entire dance and know if it's going to be any good four bloody days before it's even happened yet.

No it wasn't.

And I am about to speak sacrilege but nor was Mark's. I love Mark with a passion. My favourite ever winner and I cried when he sprung his AT and got the tens ( still do when I watch it back) and the hallowed salsa was a great dance - but NOT salsa.

Wish I hadn't brought that pile of stones in now.

*reaches for hard hat and body armour*

Man, I miss Artem

I too loved Ola and Chris and I wanted him to win.

I liked Alesha as a judge. But then, I like Alesha!

I really was glad that Darren Gough won, because, good dancer or not, I could never take to Colin (my problem, not his) and once Zoe and Ian came third I was rooting for Goughie.

I adored Tom Chambers and was delighted he won (although I would have preferred to have seen Austin in the final as well).

I adore Craig.

I loathe, loathe, loathe the rumba with a passion. Horrible, posing thing masquerading as a 'dance'. I wish it wasn't included on SCD. Same goes for the awful cha cha cha.

Oh yeah, Artem looks like a foot.

Pamela Stephenson (irritant though she is) did a better salsa than either Jake Wood or Mark Ramprakash.

- Austin really wasn't that good

- Anita is a very average dancer

- Alesha was a decent judge

- Anton should have retired years ago

- Aliona is not that sexy (certain angles, faces; but for the rest not really)

Hadn't seen this.

Agree about Kevin, he does a good job and I don't mind his ottness at all.

And again, this is a good way of putting it. Janette bothers me more than Anton though, but they both give better 'value' than most in the show.

I agree about Pasha - he's dancing beige to me.

I also preferred Matt - even in dances where he forgot half his steps, he showed better technique than Alesha ever managed.

I liked Chris Hollins and Darren Gough.
I think Kevin, Joanne and Karen are all ok. In fact I think Karen excels with the duffers and is very patient.
I also think Anton's latin is good enough for the job.
I think Giovanni is fine (but then I've had Italian dance teachers and so maybe used to that style).
I get bored by celebs who have lots of previous dance experience. Gimme a journey any day.
I like Ola. Didn't mind James.
I don't miss Artem for same reasons eloquently expressed above.
I think Kristina is actually a very good teacher, even though not great ballroom dancer (a bit like the female, latin equivalent of Anton).
I wasn't remotely upset about Austin, although he did dance a nice tango and entertaining paso.
I miss Brucie too.
I liked Lisa S

I think those are all 'unpopular' on here at least. Trying to play the game properly.

Will you be starting on the Bs later?

Karen should always be given duffers. She's far better with them than almost any other pro apart from Anton.

Artem and Alijaz are not handsome - just weird looking in profile or face on.

I love celebrities with dance experience - bring them on in droves

Over 50's and fat people should be banned from the show always

Quite a few I agree with.

I loved Alesha as a judge, best moment was giving Craig Kelly a dressing down, priceless! I still remember his face after she told him he wasn't as good as he thought he was!

I actually liked fusion week, when it works well it works.

I hate halloween, with a passion.

I didn't like Jake's salsa, one lift at the end for me was all it really was, plus, I do not see what people see in him, he is not good looking.

I am now warming to Karen C, say what you want, she is handed duffer after duffer and she does nothing but encourage them, look at their positives and never once even rolls her eyes at having them.

As much as I love him, Pasha to me is edging closer to an exit from the show like Darren B.

Oh, and I don'tmind a ringer, I actually prefer them to be in if we get great dances that showcase the pros and what they can do with a partner.

Could not agree more

I would prefer Alesha as a judge than Darcy.

Bruno is hilarious.

Jake Wood's bum wiggling was as nauseating as it gets.

Pamela Stephenson was an attention-seeking overblown pain in the behind and I was delighted when she was voted out.

Aliona is quite nice and can be a much better choreographer than she is sometimes given credit for.

Zoe Ball ruins ITT.

love this thread

here goes this one will be unpopular

I dislike Natalie and her choreography

never understood the fuss over Artem and Pasha

Although I like Natalie, I was going to mention that her teaching of technique didn't seem so hot recently. May be the celebs she's had.

Tom Chambers was a much better all round dancer than history paints him. He was far better overall than Snowdonia - I didn't mind him winning (although AUSTINWUZROBBED - but notasrobbedascolin).

I LOVE Aliona and her "crazy" choreography.


New York AS!!!!

Darcy always looks like she has never danced a step in her life in the judges 'dance on' at opening of the show.... Ditto Craig.

I never got the fuss over Austin and don't think he woz robbed at all.

As much as I think Jay will be the winner this series, I really don't want Aliona to be the first pro to win twice.

I love a theme week, can't wait for Hallowe'en, and actually don't really care too much for technique or dance purity. I'm more in the 'as long as it's entertaining' camp.

Omg agree on all 3. I love Natalie as a person she seems so genuine and lovely, but never understand the gushing over her when I find Alionas choreo far superior and exciting.

Good, you've reminded me of more:

I hated the majority of Artem's choreography.

I voted for Tom Chambers, loved his showdance and was delighted he won.

I don't mind Kevin.

Ola is my favourite female pro.

I would have liked to see Joanne Clifton with a decent celeb to see what she can do.

I didn't particularly enjoy any of Rachel Stevens' dances.

I don't get the hype about Tristan.

Katie Derham isn't the great dancer she is made out to be on here: and her Cha-Cha-Cha score was as much her fault as it was Anton's.
