And quoted their exact posts. Sorry bendymixer. This is one time it IS DS they're reading.


And why not?

Yep one right here!! 16 and proud!



will's number 1 fan xx

Looking through the forum today it seems we have lost of lovely new members...which I reckon may be because of Claudia (I mean...I know she doesn't say who we are..but it can't be too hard to find us! )

Lots of new people to talk to and so thanks Claudia and welcome to the forum all newbies here...look forward to having a few debates and laughs with you all!

I was just thinking that, and also think its down to lonepiner who got us onto the first page of the forums, instead of being stuck in a little corner and a bit harder to find. Hi to all new comers

Well some of us have already written to the queen, to see if we can get lonepiner knighted.

In fact I am waiting for an appreciation thread to be set up for him soon!

Well done lonepiner!

good for you!

can't stand this elitism on some forums where you feel ashamed of being young or old

i like the mix of ages on here and it's good to hear a teen speaking up for themselves and not feeling they can't.

So up to now then, our youngest member is still older than 14!

Please never suggest such a thing, even in jest The type of people who like that sort of thing been done are not my type of people. Let's keep on message and enjoy the fact that the chat on here is friendly and not bitchy

I was probably just a very small cog in the leviathan-like wheel that makes our DS universe, if that.

And hello all you new dancin' divas who seem to be arriving by the truckload, the more the merrier (hopefully)!

After a couple of days wait, I have had my email address verified today. I am so pleased to be able to join these threads when I read them!

I love dancing (watching, not participating, except for tap) I adore Anton and I love Claudia! The next few weeks will be complete for me (unless Anton goes out too early). I shall look forward to lots more postings....

Crikeys lp..I was only jesting about an appreciation thread. I was only trying to say thanks..obviously that back fired. I do appreciate what you have done.

And am worried as I have an appreciation thread for an x factor contestant (it wasn't meant to be, but people got confused so the mods kindly changed the title) so goodness what you think about me....as I can't be your type of people then.

The threads are a bit crazy today..in a nice way. I'm sure it is just enthusiasm.

Think I'll back off for a bit, got a ton of things to do anyway!

I never meant to pee you off lp..I was only jesting I promise.

I'm also a teenager! **waves** 17 over here lol

i do hate to spoil ppls fun but i have been on another (very small) forum on scd where they mention that they all seem to be 14 year old girls, its one of the first forums that comes up on google. its rubbish but that might be where the researchers have been

Well, not to brag but all the namechecks for posters have been from this site, and the comments they read out are posted on these boards!

Yep don't burst our bubble!

I'm here because of Claudia! Hi Claudia! (fantastic show).

Took me a while to find it though. Had expected it to be on BBC website.

This series is so far the best ever. Some of week three dancing was disappointing but, the two that disappointed were both very busy this week, and the improvements in the others to bring them back into the competition was amazing. That didn't really happen in series two.

Oh, I am 38 and run my own business. I think all the lads are doing an amazing job and were looking fantastic on Saturday. I hope your attitudes to dancing, fake tans and contact can rub off on our own other halves! I'm sure they would look as good too given the right lighting (and perhaps a teensy weensy bit of imagination)!

Was reading over this thread and have to say that I am in total agreement with Nat on this one.......in the words of Bruno "dreadful".JLC is def the man for the job...maybe one day.

I think you'll find there's no access to some of the forums unless you're a member unlike this one where you can read all the posts....that's why that dreadful woman refers to DS all the time.

it is DS which comes out first on many of the stricly come dancing searches even for news - which with respect is weird cos ACTUAL news if very limited on here its more like fansite than news (nothing wrong with that) have always wondred what the criteria is for getting up the search pages

She couldn't really say 'DS' forums though, could she? If she leaves it ambiguous, viewers might assume it's a BBC forum

If you are reading Claudia - or your friendly researcher (!) please could you hint at the fact that there is a big group of viewers who wonder if Fiona actually wants to continue?

Also - sorry to be thick, but who is JLC?

Justin Lee Collins.... he made an excellent job of hosting the daily shows on BBC3 for SCD1.There was also a live aftershow prog every Saturday.......watch any of them and you'll see that there is noone quite like him.

He's good and I loved his programmes in the first series of SCD.

But I love Claudia. Her quirkiness, irreverance and just the tone of her interviews.

Tell you what, Davina McCall would NEVER have got such a frank interview out of Camilla as Claudia did. It's because of her personality that no one takes offence.

I dont think Justin would either.

So, no knocking Justin from me, I hope he gets loads of progs(I'm A Sleb is up for grabs, as Mark Durden-Smith is putting fatherhood before Australia).

But Claudia rocks!

Thank you both - I remember him, maybe just forgot his name - or never knew it. Agree that he was excellent.

Good news about MDS and IACGMOOH - he was never convincing for me, and with TPT it was just too much!
