I'd like to be in a war but other than Tameka's early exit and people not realising Robert Rinder can dance, there's nothing to fight about. There are lots of average to good dancers. Most are nice TV personalities and there's a group of new pros that I like. Claudia's on form and it's Len's final season. I'm enjoying it all.
Can the "Fan-Wars" calm down a bit?

Who the heck does that camper than a maypole pretend judge think he is? Does he think he's funny, mincing about with that vacuous Russian, milking cows or floating about on wires or whatever other hilar(yawn)ious ruse they've come up with this week?
Mustn't forget the other Olympian. That ginger lamp post attempting to dance with St bloody Natalie. Every week he "cahms ahht" (sorry - he's a sportsman, automatically slipped into Len mode) and every week he's... a bit sh*t. Then one or other of them gives it woobie face and the nation melts.
Oh and finally - the huge (and I mean this literally) standing (well he ain't bloody dancing is he) joke that is the politician. Never has a contestant on Strictly been so aptly named. And that upstart he's shuffling about with is no better. Call that choreography? Pity he didn't drop you the other week love.
Hang on... that doesn't seem like enough people. I'm sure there should be more? Surely there can't be any celebs sooooo dull that I would forget them altogether can there?
Fan wars - what fan wars? I just loathe all of them.
See you Saturday - it's my favourite time of the week

Nice to know Strictly caters for all tastes .
Does Fan-Wars come with lightsabres and a Daft Vader. Does Ed Balls feel the Farce. Will Arlene return as Yoda for some object-subject-verb alliterations ("Rhumba dance of love supposed to be, dance of desperation danced you! Hmmmm!")

Good to see that you are an Equal Opportunities hatah!
There seems to be a regrettable outbreak of common sense and sanity on this thread - this must cease forthwith!
Normal hostilities must be resumed.

No surprise there.

If horses can make a pact aren't we back into mind-reading territory?

The reverse happens too, with some people claiming all fans of X are the same, usually in a negative way. Both these are issues to me because they stifle genuine discussion.
There is also the fact that, when it comes to personalities and human behaviour, we all see things differently as our assessments are filtered through our own life experiences.
For example, some people may find Louise dull whereas others find her sweet and shy, and really we all have to accept each other's opinions in that case because we can't prove otherwise. I see people getting upset about this kind of thing a lot, though.
I don't know. I don't think it's that bad on here at all but I think there is a lot of difference in boundaries of criticism along with levels of fanaticism and that's what causes any issues.”

The problem is that one man's boundary is another's "no man's land."
