Surely it is high time to put an end to ALL the bitchiness, backbiting and fighting (its beginning to sound just like where I work LOL)

The concept of the show is FANTASTIC best Saturday night TV in a long while. Judges respect the professional dancers, celebrities listen to your professional partner they didn't get where they are without having some idea of what works and if you think you are going to be offended by criticism don't sign up - we all know how the Judges mark and remark by know. Professional dancers by all means stick up for and protect your celeb, but please no more backlash at the judges as that in turn gives them reason to vent their spleen.

The show IS FANTASTIC lets get back to what it is all about and enjoy it.

Okay rant over now

I agree...last week Brendan had a point, but I thought the judging was much better on Saturday so I think they've listened. I think it's done, dusted and everyone (including us on the forum) should just get on with the show now and stop moaning!

That won't happen - the BBC like the aggressive slant the show has taken and want more of the same - that's clear from the stirring edits, and strange half-truth press stories that are constantly being leaked.

But as forumites we could heal some the rifts by stopping unecessary attacks on the celebs,pros and judges now, and yes I too have been quite voiciferous but think enough is enough

Is there anything about a forum that's "necessary" though? I don't really think anything we say here will affect the programme either way. The ratings are superb at the moment, so I wouldn't even blame the producers for doing more of the same.

No and it is a great idea for discussions re favs the dresses the dances etc but it shouldn't be used anymore for a bitchfest

Think it's quite mild here compared to the BB forum in season!!
