Babycham in it's own special glass, with a cherry. It's allowed to get a bit daring at Christmas

My Mum is too and she's 83! Louise makes her nod off!

Perhaps she represents all the stay at home Mums with the luxury of a well paid spouse. Cos she is nothing like most of the mothers I know, who work blummin hard doing 2 or more jobs just to pay childcare.

I have sussed why TTF is so favoured. He is prepared to wear the outfits from the sale bin, saving War-Drobe a fortune.

In my totally unscientific poll of 'People I know' no one is voting for Louise. Which really says nothing other than people I know can't be in her target demographic - even the working mums in their 40's (friends comment - if I'd wanted to be embarrassed by watching people being mortified on the dance floor, I'd have gone to the Parent/Teachers Christmas disco).

It's actually pretty evenly split between Danny and Ore with Danny possibly just edging it, if the 88 year old aunt is allowed her phone privileges back after the I'm a Celeb ... incident ...

Everything crossed for your dog. We lost our ex-racing rescue Greyhound last year at the age of 14. No dog like them for DailyMailsadface.

My 78 year old aunt is voting for Danny. (She likes him anyway but she's under threat of being uninvited for Christmas lunch if she wavers.)

Unappreciating that the forum is going read only just in time for SCD final!

*pokes thread*

Oooh, looks like we can post again!

Excellent - now we can bitch as we go along on Sat.

In my likewise totally unscientific poll, I've got half Danny and half Louise. Ore's over-emoting seems to be putting people off. I feel that's harsh but harsh is the name of the game when you're a reality show viewer, right?

*pokes back*


Not too hasty. I joked about bifurcation before the final and they shut down on us for two days. *wibbles*

Can I just appreciate how great Claudia looked last night on ITT. Tess not so much.
God you don't appreciate something until it's gone. Missed the thread.

We do real drinks here

Oh thank god, we're back. I thought I was going to have to watch the final without bitching!

And in my totally unscientific poll today, I was wrong to say anyone over 60 would vote for Louise, as many of them are voting for Danny (he's a lovely boy, apparently) and a few for Ore (if he stops crying).

Deeply unappreciating TTF on ITT the other day and Louise saying how scared she was she wouldn't get in the final. I'm also deeply unappreciating the total Ore love that every single panel has displayed.

I have Gin for tomorrow night with Asbach in reserve in case things go badly.

Pokes head round door.
It looks no diff'rent to me
Can't even smell fresh paint

Deeply impressed that you managed to sit through that. My God! The stamina and backbone you have!

I had to switch off. Louise acting scared of attention? Have you seen her early pop videos? Que?

Am also amazed that everyone is falling for the Ore Aura. I thought he was very cute when he first appeared. I'm a sucker for long legs and great hands, but as soon as he began to burble burble burble my interest waned.

And now he is just barf inducing.

That's more like it

Mildly jealous.

I will be dancing so I will have NOTHING! Not a drop. Gaaaahhhhhh!

I'll have to catch up on Sunday and shout at the TV all on my own

Thank Goodness, I was dreading the final without the wit on this thread

So happy to have this place back! I'm planning on joining in with you all tomorrow. Very long time lurker here!

I'm backing Ore to win personally just because Louise and Danny have had some dancing experience whereas Ore has literally come from nothing. So I feel like I've been on more of a journey with him.

I've had to switch ITT off this week.
All far too screechy and childish.



It was my Birthday on Tues and I got some champagne and chocolates - I had to work on my Birthday but I am not working tomorrow night, so I can watch live and quaff my champers and scoff my chocos.

So it will be a good night .......as long as no Clifton wins.

I know I was developing a twitch

In my defence, the Babycham was a suggestion for Louise. It seemed her sort of bland, oversweet tipple. Is it even alcoholic?

I shan't be watching, but will definitely be here! the NAT is the best bit for me now.
