You are all so predictable, and some would say that you are ridiculous because you think that you know more than the judges, who obviously saw more than you saw, or didn't want to see.

Please tell me that's a joke . Surely no one calls him jaypet ? Oh my word .
I agree it WAS dull . The AS is a chance to shine . Didn't Jeremy do a passable one ? Most people do . So yes, j's was nice enough but nothing at all special .

Cheers to the ridiculous. Way better than being blind to a certain trained dancer's faults

They're not currently top of this week's poll, though when I looked just now only 20 people had voted.

They were top of last week's poll,

Did the judges put him top of the leader board then? You just can't seem to stop insulting forum members just because they don't like your favourite. Now that's really annoying.

Actually, I apologise for using that term sarcastically. If people want to use it to address him, fine. I don't take issue with it.

I stand by my point though.

156 votes in the last couple of hours.

Not according to the post below .

Sounds about right . I won't be frantically dashing off to contribute .

You really are clutching at straws now, they are top of the favourite couple poll and favourite dance of the night, take a look if you don't believe me.

You seem to be missing my point .
I couldn't care less where they are in any poll anywhere , because like most posters on here I never bother with them . Think about it logically for just one minute please , if your 156 number is right then out of what must amount to hundreds if not thousands who lurk and post on these Strictly threads a minuscule 156 voted . Big whoopy doo .That's woefully unrepresentative of 'everyone' . Most just don't care . Those who do care tend to be persons rather enthusiastic about one celeb or another . I'm not invested enough in any one celeb (despite people trying to claim I am) to bother voting other than in the official eliminations vote .
Like I said , they topped a poll ? That's nice .

Some of us have been here more than long enough to know that the poll here often doesn't reflect public opinion accurately and there's been many a time when the favourite on here hasn't won.

So there you have it - if you get to Halloween week, do a ballroom, and if you have to do a latin make it a samba.

You appear to be invested enough in Jay - in a negative way - to post frequently and repetitively against him.

Exactly.

The constant bickering between those who think Jay is the best thing since sliced bread and those who clearly despise Jay despite their best attempts to prove otherwise is getting really old now. We get it - some people love him, others do not (or don't like how over-hyped he is, in some cases), but maybe not clogging up the last few pages of the thread by repeatedly shoving your own opinion down everyone else's throat wouldn't hurt now and again.

Otherwise, I really enjoyed last night's show - sure, the theming got excessive at various points, but we not only got a couple of really great routines but the most awkwardly hilarious Rumba I can remember.

Was it a full moon last night as well as Hallowe'en? What a snippy, snipey, snidey, bitchy, unenjoyable thread this has degenerated into. I've just read through the whole thing to catch up, having been out last night and watched the show this afternoon, and wish I hadn't bothered.

Evening All, ( a la Dixon of Dock Green , one for us oldies there )

Good evening

Hoping for Carol v Kirsty tonight ... but think Carol may have too much support (and sympathy for getting such an inappropriate song for a Rumba ).

Evening, fellow oldie!

Here we go again

Good evening,

Is that Joanne and Pasha?

So that's why Michael Flattery was on ITT

Is Pasha dancing with Ola?

Hey everybody.

I'm hoping for a Carol vs Kirsty dance off because to me, they were the worse dancers last night.

This is an interesting pro dance.
