I’m a grown-up, I’ve got 2 kids, a mortgage, a cat and a shed - that makes me a fully paid grown-up doesn’t it? So why did I shout at the telly last night, honest I know they can’t hear me. I have watched SCD since the first series and I have got used to the manipulation, the favouritism, the over and under-scoring but last night it was taken to a new level. I am in serious danger of tracking Len down and pickling his walnuts myself.
Why Len, just why? I honestly thought at the beginning of the week that they would try to compare Danny and J’s QS but I admit that by Friday it was obvious they were working on an Ore jive being better. I was expecting the 10’s, in a way they didn’t bother me so much as the comment “Move over Jay”. J won the 2015 glitterball why compare the dances? I didn’t see any of the other dancers being compared. Are we now to assume that next week Greg will be compared to Mark Ramprakash, or Louise to Emma Bunton? Is this one of the tweeks that were talked about? Are the fudges suddenly going to whip out an a 15 paddle as another tweek as the scores have nowhere to go? And while I’m on a rant, Craig’s comment “you better be watching Danny” or whatever it was, if I was one of the other contestants I’d have been pretty peed off, has it already been decided that it is a straight contest between Danny and Ore?
I would like to force the fudges to watch both J’s and Ore’s jive on slo-mo and then try to justify trying to make Ore’s the superior one. The out-of-sync parts, the bit in the middle that I’m pretty sure he goes completely wrong in, the lack of pointed feet, the stompy flicks and kicks, the lack of dancing as a couple...do I need to go on Len?
I suppose the only saving grace is that from the comments I’ve seen on twitter, facebook, newspapers etc the vast majority of the public agree that whilst Ore was good it was nowhere in the same universe as J’s. The fudges and Jwanne may have to accept that they have actually harmed Ore by overmarking and over praising and Jwanne didn’t have to put the “little homages” in, they just were screaming “look we can do it better”, they were not necessary.
Anyway rant over, today is another day and the sun has just come out. But I still might make some bread later, knocking hell out of a lump of dough is very cathartic.

last nights comment about " move over Jay " and the 10 for Ore was Len's warped revenge for Jay beating his favourites K&K in the final last year. It's funny how Len's attention to detail about footwork conveniently lapses when he wants it to like Ore's feet in the jive last night and a few of K&K dances last year. Len never did like Jay much did he? can't wait for him to go
