I would be so interested to learn the truth about the judges - how much they are puppets or at least given pre-ordained roles to play. People have said how nice Craig is behind the scenes, for example. And I really hope that Darcey isn't as daft as her judgely persona. Perhaps Len's curmudgeonliness (if that's even that a word?) is put on as well. My gut feeling (reinforced by reports from a friend of a friend who was on one of Gareth Malone's programmes) is that the whole shebang is so tweaked and manipulated that nothing can be taken at face value.

I just wish these shows would not try to manipulate votes. I wish they would just let the public choose who their pet is under their own steam. |

Will we be in tears of joy? If you squint through the sequins, sure you can see 'Ski' on the series one judges table. |

She may have 'perfect feet' ( I don't know and care less) but everything above ground level is beige, boring and insipid. She is a BOT, and not a very good one - refurb model, chip needs updating.

I would like to unappreciate the Show Dance (one word or two?) round in general. Can't it be replaced by something else.
In my opinion most of them have been nothing more than an opportunity for the pros to turn in a load of self-indulgent nonsense. I'm hoping for something wonderful and wow from Doti, though how Oti can top that finishing leap off the pier, I don't know I don't think TTF and Jwann will both be allowed to do Fred and Ginger style ones and anyway we've seen that enough already. Will Jwann go kooky or go for another Gene Kelly fest? Will TTF go disco/pop video (like Pasha and Kimbot, with equally struggling lifts) or Jazz/stage school end of term show, to help Louizzz (or Loucheese as minidot 2 calls her) feel comfortable, or angsty contempowaft in bare feet, showing nothing of the previous 14 weeks of training? Are there still unfathomed levels of twee to explore?.....so many possibilities

I really don't believe that she has perfect feet - I know sod all about proper dancing and I've seen her make mistakes - but as you say, if the overall package is insipid then what's the point? Its Saturday night TV, I want to be entertained dammit! Be it by Danny's incredible talent or Ed's mix of dance and comedy, its all vastly preferable to a middle-aged woman plodding about looking like she's thinking about whether she may have left the oven on at home.

I don't know who anyone else is quoting but I'm quoting the post I quoted in which the poster quoted states that they do not believe that Louise has "perfect feet." In other words, I am quoting "perfect feet". Which, as I stated, do not exist.
ETA - Neither do "exquisite feet". Feet are hideous. |

not sure who you are quoting because nobody has said her feet were 'perfect' except for the straw man you are attempting to shore up and shoot down at the same time.

Latest Strictly saga from jo7 over on the BBC blogs Quote:
There's been a lot of new people on this blog for the last couple of days so none of this is going to make any sense. Please feel free to scroll down! For the few who have enjoyed these here is episode...4(?) of Strictly ball****. Hopefully it won't get removed like last week's. Very hard this week to do a parody when the show itself became a parody but here goes.... Mr Beeb - and that people is how it's done! We've worked hard all series to get this result. Nice idea getting Roger the electrician in. How's that for a computer glitch. What did he do in the end? Producer - well he went over the plans. Bypassed a few wires. In the end he gave up and stuck a screwdriver in the system. MB - Ah yes, how is he? P - Still in hospital. But they say he'll come out of the coma soon MB - Excellent. Send him some grapes. Will he be out by the final? P - No but we've got the work experience boy on standby MB - Lovely. Back to the show on Saturday. Oti's suicide jump. What was that all about P- initially we thought it was a reaction to you getting off your sexual harassment charge but it turns out that she had just got the memo about them taking the bullet for the dance off MB - We want it bigger and better in the final. Think of the ratings if he drops her on live TV. Onto the kids. Why wasnt Claudia painted blue and dancing to the smurf song like I requested? P - Well her dress was blue. MB - We did try throwing a few marbles on the floor during her quickstep but the nippy little blighters just zig zagged around it. P - unfortunately Darcy had the same script as last week but I don't think anyone noticed MB - Ah yes. Mrs Beeb does as she's told. I like that you saved a bit of money recycling Ores set from last week for LouIse headdress. Pity you didn't use the whole flower outfit. Might have covered up all of those steps she forgot. And will you tell Kevin that I was only joking when I said he had to style his hair like Donald Trump in order to win. Onto the Argentine Tango. Jo danced beautifully with that prop but where was Ore? P - In the toilet MB. Turns out he's been a bit constipated since the series started. After he got the memo that he'd be top of the leader board he got really excited and bingo. Brought tears to his eyes - and some of the audience too. We figured that he didn't really need to be there anyway MB - OK finals week people. Claudia Monday. Soap poppet Tuesday. LouIse Wednesday. Ore Thursday and Louise and Ore Friday. P - What about Danny MB - he can't make it P - why not MB - because I said so. We'll have a Mr & Mrs style quiz called clifton and clifton. Get Karen in for choreography corner. Usual stuff kev and jo are great. Oti's not blah blah blah. We'll get a few more family members in. Wall to wall Cliftons. Deck the halls with crowds of Cliftons. Baby pictures of jo and Kevin cuddling. Play the always a bridesmaid card. People will either want to vote for them or shoot them P - What about Danny MB - we'll show a clip of him in ' wicked'. P - he's quite a good singer actually MB - oh maybe not then. Stick a clip of him in ' Hollyoaks' P - What shall we do about the bad publicity we're getting this week MB - nothing. There's two sayings I live by. There's no such thing as bad publicity is one of them. P - what's the other MB MB - it's not what you know it's who you know. Anyway the public would have forgotten about it by next year. Memories like fish........ ![]() ![]()

If she managed that much it would actually be progress. She is still at the making a Blue WKD last all night whilst hiding in the kitchen stage.
I think projecting this nice mum image is a deliberate choice on her part, I don't beleive years of stage school makes you embarrassed to perform. Therefore if she knew she wanted to protect this nice mum image she was only ever going to give a limited dance, she was never going to put her heart and soul into it. What she has actually done is deprived someone of the opertunity to do the show who may have been fabulous and provided really great entertainment. I sort of feel it's like deciding you are going to go to the top of Mount Killamanjaro being paid for it, everyone willing you on but starting off knowing you are never going to go beyond 7/8th of the way up even though the party everyone is waiting for can't start without you going all the way up. |
