I never really got the Pixiewuzrobbed last year, it's my punishment isn't it?

Though seriously I am not sure the lack of Pixie made such a difference as the lack of Helen or am I fangirling and really Helens loss is not that felt?

I meant by the show not me obviously. I will mourn FOREVEAH.

You know I honestly can say I don't think I have ever been so bothered except for Austin by the loss of anyone.

I thought losing Pixie was even worse than Helen, but that's just an opinion... it helps that I marginally prefer Jay over Helen whereas Pixie was my absolute fave.

Partly for that reason, I preferred this year's semis to last year - IMO last year was a mix of mediocrity and utter cack, saved only by Caroline doing VERY well (she got a 40 didn't she? That was probably a bit much, but probably more an expression of relief that she wasn't crap).

I didn't respond to Pixie on a personal level the way I did with Helen. Pixie was a bit aloof, so BUSY so media-savvy, she didn't really register with me as a person. I really liked Helen as well as feeling she had more to give in terms of dance.

Don't get me wrong I loved Pixie, especially with Trent who I would far rather he had stayed than Gleb, but I just didn't miss her so much.

Is it the fate of the posh bird to always get so far and no further. Sophie coming 4th was a shock for me.

Where is Monkseal and his spreadsheets?

Do posh birds have a wuz robbed inherent storyline ?

I'm thinking Katie's is more of a poshbirdwuzlucky storyline for many...

With Pixie I honestly thought Simon danced better, so the outrage bypassed me completely I'm afraid

Ah but she is a posh bird of a certain age, as in Cherie, Felicity and Fiona.

But yes Katie is being dragged to the final , bizarrely enough I sort of don't mind.

I can even live with an Anton win

Sophie is the one I connected with in that series. We posh birds (allegedly ) must stick together.

Holly was effing loaded does that count as posh? She's Australian, so I'm not sure the concept is translatable...

I guess you can't be foreign AND posh...it's a very English thing. Nothing to do with money either, think of all the impoverished aristocrats

Good lord no, take it from a posh bird emphatically no Holly was not posh, not even in her private jet.

She may become posh in time and her children probably will be posh, but at the moment she is not posh

Coughs ahem Luka British , no English blood in me and actually a fair bit of foreign dna with the grandparents situation

And Monkseal thanks for answering the bat signal

I can't appreciate the was robbed idea but that probably because the only ones I really deeply missed leaving were John Sargent and Jade and nobody robbed them.

I've thought some decisions were unfair (the gurner winning) - but then again I don't expect fairness.

She couldn't be arsed to do anything, never mind be posh. Far too much effort love

Ok I don't know what else to say

Same here, I never got the Pixie love tbh, she had a couple of decent routines but I found most of them nondescript


I thought it was her boyfriend who was loaded rather than Holly?

Best not to get hung up on such things. Whenever I complained summat was unfair as a kid, my grandad always used to say "hair on a gorilla's a**e ain't fair either"

ummm...I still feel that the OTHER British do posh differently, *cough-better-cough* to the English...but then, what do I know? Outsider looking in

Welsh don't but then I'm common as muck, what do I know?

The posh Welsh I've met just erase any trace of Welsh accent from their speech and pretend they're not Welsh

Denise Lewis. I see her presenting things now, and she's lovely. I re-watch some of her old dances and they were great. But I just couldn't take to her on the show. And Wardrobe seemed to hate her; everything was neon and hideous.

I didn't like Christine Bleakley or Alex Jones on the show but then I'm not that keen in them off it

They're English, they just stole our land!

I grew to really like Pixie last year, mostly because Trent's choreography was great. (See Gleb, that's how you do modern, innovative choreography.) Yes, she deserved to go in that dance off, but the final would have been much better if she had been in it rather than Mark.

Jay was my clear favourite this year, but Helen was second. I will definitely miss her from the final this year.

Totally agree with you on Trent V Gleb - really wish he'd stayed. I didn't expect to like him much but he was awesome!

I'd have much rather lost Simon (who I found rather smug and seriously overrated) than Pixie, and then to cap it off Jake Wood went out as well, so I was left voting like mad for my 3rd favourite last year! That's why this year feels better for me, even though Helen was blatantly VERY robbed!

PS. Yes I am still bitter about Pixie a year on - although seeing her dance live and meeting her did help a bit!

Unappreciating Anita on Twitter retweeting people making out she was robbed and tweeting herself about how the people had her back.

Had to resist pointing out that not enough of them had her back to keep her out of the dance off. Best case she finished 3rd in the public vote...

Seriously - I like her as a presenter but this whole "never danced before" thing has her taking herself far too seriously as the patron saint of the untrained dancer and it's really irritating
