Exactly. If you're not having fun then you're doing it wrong!

It's slightly repetetive, but what are they supposed to say? "I can't stand my costume, my feet are killing me and the dart-throwing monkeys have shafted me with the music."?

Be interesting to see what reaction they got from the voting viewers if they did!

I can accept that dancing is fun, certainly if you don't enjoy dancing then don't do it because it becomes pointless. But I do get a little annoyed - just a little teeny bit, you understand - when they say "We're having so much fun...." making it sound as if that is a reason they should be kept in the show!

It's probably a bit hard to know what to say sometimes, I think a lot of the time they're asked a question or stuck in front of a camera and told to talk about Strictly. If they get told 'tell the public why you want to be here next week' there's not much else they can say except that they're having fun. They can't say they want to be here because they deserve it. Saying they're having fun also implies that they appreciate the votes that are keeping them in. But they could try saying it in a different way.

BIB Danny did just that tonight on ITT. He said he told them there was no way he wanted Heard it on The Grapevine for their AT.
Wonder how that went down. Mmmm.
Notice they are still dancing to it though.

Not for me it wasn't! It was compulsory at my school... every Wednesday afternoon the boys came over from their school and a very effeminate dancing master with a butch woman in tow took us through ballroom. I had, and still have, 2 left feet no sense of rhythm and little appreciation of music. The only light spot in an otherwise horrid afternoon was watching the man's toupee gradually slip sideways and hoping it would one day fall off.

I did eventually, after I had left school, manage to strangle me way through a waltz and a quickstep but I was never confident on the dance floor

What do you expect them to say?

"We are having a f*cking awful time, I hate this place, the judges, the whole thing is a glittery piece of crud, I'm only doing this to promote myself and get money. I couldn't be bothered about anything else"

Anyone else old enough to remember Stephaine Beacham's closing speech when she was evicted "Thank you for voting me off the show" and she meant it too

Would like to have seen Danny and Oti try to jive to Bat out of hell. They certainly have had it good when it comes to music choices

I don't think I would've enjoyed it at school! As soon as something becomes compulsory it becomes less fun. Also I found myself more relaxed doing private lessons.

It's not the 'We are having so much fun' line that is the issue. It is the inconsistency of how it is regarded by the public. It's like anything done or said.
When one celebrity or pro says such a thing it is pure, genuine and lovely.
When another one says such a line it is disingenuous, desperate, and annoying piffle.

I'll get my coat .

Aplogies. I've a feeling he who shall not be named may end up becoming the new Godwin's Law.

Not exactly but one did blame Craig personally for her eviction. She was wrong because she was rubbish but Jan "I hope you're happy Craig" Ravens did not go gently into the night. Afterwards he tried to talk to her and not only did she tell him to sod off but her husband manhandled him.

Here Stephanie's exit interview : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcKSv1ALRCU

ITT exit interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvuTEGfpd7U

I loved her she's fab.

Sadly I can't find the footage of Jan's exit because it really has to be seen to be believed.

I don't think we'll ever have a meltdown of those proportions again, everybody is too media trained these days, sadly.

You sound quite bitchy so maybe you don't have the joy in your heart to enjoy dance.
