Just watching Monday's ITT on catch-up - unappreciating Hayley Tamaddon. I hope that Strictly keeps to its tradition of not having previous Dancing On ice competitors on the show as she makes me want to throw things.
She does me too. Up mainly.

I'm sure she's a lovely person but she irritates more than itching powder in the gusset.

That is hilarious.

Andre and his people really have no clue do they? I mean he could have performed at a nice theatre, filled it and made a nice profit... but no, it had to be a venue that people like Madonna, Muse, Snow Patrol and One Direction play. You know, acts that some people actually like!
My favourite X Factor winner, Joe McElderry has just recently completed a 50+ date tour, going to small theatres all over the country. The ticket sales were fine - no curtains cutting off part of the auditorium! Last year he did a long tour at mostly different theatres, including the Isle of Wight! He is now in panto in Hull, which is his third one. He is doing fine without even going to these huge arenas. It also means that fans and concert goers can see him and his band. At arenas you need a telescope to see the artist.

He's my favourite X Factor winner as well. I love the way he's just got on with it afterwards.

I'm not a fan of Joe at all, but fair play to him for doing that... 50 dates is a LOT. I get the impression with a lot of pop stars that they don't want to get out of bed to perform in anything smaller than an arena, and they want all their fans to travel miles to see them. Doing a proper nationwide tour like that is a lot of work but at least it shows he's passionate about what he does. The daft thing is, if Andre did that he'd probably shift a lot more tickets as people in places who don't get many 'big' acts perform near them might go to see him, but wouldn't travel to their nearest city.

I've managed to remain somewhat neutral on Kevin thus far but I have a horrible feeling I'll be hiding behind the sofa for this showdance.

Why on earth would any pro choose a dance style they don't actually dance themselves? Is this "Bacofoil 2 the Neoswingers"?


(*snob alert - people haven't Lindy Hopped to the Cherry Poppy Daddies since THAT Gap ad went off air).

Oh god, wardrobe might actually be storyboarding that as a costume for Kellie as we speak...

Not if we all vote I guess.

Trouble is, this has been Jay's to lose for weeks, so every Jay fan is panicking and every non-Jay fan is looking for weak areas to exploit.

But as this is a non-appreciation thread, Kevin & Kellie's dances really don't look good bunched together like that. Plus I can't believe the brass neck of Kevin going for the sympathy vote. Are we supposed to feel sorry for Kellie and her ugly, godawful dresses when it was his stylistic decision to do it? 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Omg, someone took notice of my witterings . .... Faints ........

Picks self up to say on the NAT

Right off to commence world domination, mwah , ha ha!

Swishes wonderfully, looks for the series wig so I can twirl a moustache as well, borrows sons light sabre, off I go, Tim Peake, goodness no competition, today I had people taking notice of what I say, where's the TV programmes about me bloody space station, what's he achieved.

Swish, twirl feels 10 foot tall.

No because Georgia is the greige candidate this year from full on Julia Roberts spotted brown glamour to ghostbusters khaki snot number.

Though if Kevin's choreography isn't 99 % of that advert you will be able to knock me down with a feather, but it needs tables, because Lord knows we haven't had enough of those this series and the last. At least 5 tables. Also a teapot or two just for delta !

Every dance needs 2 at least now,

Unbloodyappreciating that sodding TTF!!!!!

Watching ITT on iplayer (thanks Dad), I have never wanted to smack someone's face like I did his when Zoe Bloody Ball was gushing all over him for getting to his third final.
Then he had the nerve to make out it was all down to him Kellie had a decent dress last week!! I thought it was down to him she had shit in the first place?

Unappreciating even more that bloody Perjurer Pete is going to be on ITT tonight ....... thought we had got rid of him. At least we've been warned.

If anybody - anybody - has so much as a sniff of teapotness this week, I shall hold you personally responsible.

Unappreciating the lost opportunity of how much more likeable Kellie would have been all series if she'd been paired with, say, Tristan - and I didn't even particularly dislike Kevin. But in his own way he's made this partnership as much about him as Anton or Gleb have theirs.

Zoe's mouth will be in default 'you're lovely, we're lovely, everybody's lovely' mode while her brain is off somewhere working out how many sprouts she'll need to peel.

Yep, in their heads it does seem to have been a 'partner's optional' series for them. Anton is choreographing for the celebrity Erin he thinks he has, Kevin is making flesh every routine he ever put together in his Big Book of Choreography and Gleb - well, thats between Gleb and the parquet.

Mine was even more cruel. But won't.
In all honesty, I feel sorry for Peter.
Never thought I'd agree, but so do I. Strictly backfired on him worse than he could ever have imagined with Jameliagate, Kristina's column confirmed suspicions that he was a lazy *#£%&#, and now his self delusions have landed him with huge tour venues which noone wants to fill. He's really doing a fantastic job of shooting himself in the foot...

I did say right from the beginning Strictly was a really bad choice for him to go on, and I was proved right . But why on earth does he have to be on tonight when there's two other couples appearing, why him rambling on, if he had to be on why not tomorrow when it's an hour show, why, why, why

Is it worth offering to buy a ticket for the O2, I won't go obviously , if he promises to not turn up today?

Love to know what she says to Norm and the kids when she gets home after a day of filming 2 programmes and having to be nice to them all. She probably stood there, fag hanging out of mouth, 10 year old sweats and hoody with definitely no sparkle, has a mouth like a Scottish docker, screeching about how she hates them all, that Karen is a diva, Ian is a massive luvvie ham, the celebs are making her teeth rot and she's better than all this, she's could do Tess' job without hanging on them like an unsteady grandma at a Boxing Day sales.

I do wish Zoe had a Claudia twinkle sometimes, so she could insult them without realising they were being insulted. She's far too sweet on an already sugar/saccharine/candy floss laden show. You need to be a bit subversive, not her strong suit.

I think most of us did. We thought it wasn't the right profile and that his usual reality show doe eyed, fake bonhomie just wouldn't work on a show like Strictly. It has a very specific demographic and they don't like the sell my kids/flog a prawn ring reality "stars" especially when they're doing it to so blatantly flog their own tat

Plus the live aspect and the bloody hard work involved, simply knew he'd never be able to keep it up - Celeb Masterchef would have been a far better choice, edited and nothing like the same schedule, although I'd have had to skip that year as him and Gregg on my screen at the same time would be

He can go on that as much as he likes, I don't watch it

I do wonder where his future lies, just idly as I don't really care, but he's a bit like telly poison at the moment. It's the chance you take, I suppose, when you're cynically trying to exploit 11 million people, they could end up seeing right through you.

I have a suspicion that their efforts went down well with viewers last week and this week they might have a crowdpleasing (if nutty) showdance - AND that Star Wars jobbie is being re-released at just the right moment.

I like the idea of showdances that reprise bits of your previous dances (like Jay and Georgia seem to be doing) but I am not sure how well they go down with the masses.

Oh yeah, I'll go back to ignoring him once Saturday is over. His future, gawd knows, peddling his tat in OK and occasional This Morning appearances I suppose. I think live TV, outside of scripted, approved, interviews, is very much off the agenda
