I have broken off mid programme to post in anger!
What is happening on ITT?
Where are the dancers? where are the judges?
What is this quiz thing with Westlife.... again?
And isnt Claudia really irritating, where once she was fabulous?
Disappointedly yours

I can only think that either Westlife or their agent are in possession of some incriminating photographs of someone high up at SCD/ITT to be given so much airtime every
series.

I still love claudia but agree
Less celebs pluggling albums more profesional dancers and their celeb partners or just more pro dancers or judges or someone

I felt like they had to cut Alesha and Matt off at the end, and all because of that pointless quiz with Westlife, who seemed bored to be there.

Nothing has happened to it.... it's always been crap and Claudia is just an annoying airhead...... (albeit one with nice shoes) BRING BACK JLC

That Westlife segment got on my nerves........it just went on and on and all i wanted was to see Alesha and Matthew

Who are the real star's of this show ?? .........it should be the dancers

I often thought maybe boy band members are not that thick after all.

Tonight's programme changed my mind: those are four prime examples of himbos that we can ever get from a boy band.

I thought the segments with Alesha and Gethin were alright, though.

Don't agree with that, I think it's a good show and Claudia's fantastic IMO. The Westlife section was beyond annoying though. We don't want to see famous faces for the sake of it, we just want the celebs and dancers!!

I'm surprised at this, to be honest. Were people only interested in Alesha and Matt and got fed up? I actually think there have been far fewer filler bits of people plugging their records, books, etc this time than I remember, though it's early days. And I love Claudia - 'Is rumba the dance of love, the dance of romance or the dance of "Hello, I'll see you outside by the bins" - I'm still recovering from that.

But then Gethin and Alesha are my favourites so obviously I loved tonight's show.

The only good thing to come from the Westlife segment was seeing the clip of Mr Cheesy falling during his show dance

Admitedly, having Westlife on was a bit of a low point, but I thought the reast of the show was excellent. Matthew was adorable (Except in the training when he had his hair in a pony tail!!! D: Did I imagine that?) and Camilla and Gethin were so cute! <3
Oh yeah, I agree with allyfree, seeing 'Mr Cheesy' falling over was SO CUTE!!!!

I hate all groups being interviewed. They all think they are some kind of comedians and have to make cringemaking unfunny comments.

No more pop groups plugging their wares!

Good show, like Gethin and Alesha. Gethin is so cute and Alesha is just nuts....but in a good way. But Gethin and Camilla's interview was twice as long as Alesha and Matthew's. They really messed up the timings there.

think it may have been the Westlife quiz thing that took too long

Claudia even said "they were not supposed to take it this seriously" why did they even bother with the quiz thing - talk to the dancers and the celebs so much more interesting

I know we are going off the subject, but so glad to see someone else feels the same way about Ian Waite that I do, he is SO smug

I know..... and what were those "jazz hands" all about once they all came on stage on Saturday night

Apart from the too long westlife bit, I liked ITT tonight as I have done since it started.

who is / was JLC I`ve heard him/her mentioned before but no idea who it is

Justin Lee Collins - the big hairy Bristolian comedian..... he did series 1 and was the best .... EVER. He was so interested in the contestants (not his own hair & shoes), there was never anyone on plugging their latest cd/dvd/whatever.

He also did the immediate after-show programme, same as they did for SDF and Dance X..... another great item from series 1 that was dropped

It's Justin Lee Collins who now does the Friday Night Project. He did the spin off show the first series when there was also a show on straight after the live show on Saturday night.

I really liked him he was really funny, but I like Claudia as well.

Thanks for that info, I`m not much wiser as I`m ashamed to say I didn`t watch series one, and don`t know the man. Everyone speaks well of him tho when his name comes up on the forum. Do like Claudia especially her shoes!!!

I think it's great this year. Less celebs plugging and I love Claudia.

I like Claudia, but I do think they try to cram too much into ITT. Tonight didnt bother me that much but last night when we had that ridiculous Elvis impersonater panel on really anoyed me as without that the interview with Craig and Arlene (which was superb) could have gone on longer and Darren and Letitia wouldnt have been interupted.

I agree they try to cram too much in but Claudia is too off the wall to control things..... e.g. too much drivel with Westlife meant they ran out of time for Matt & Alesha.

She's too busy trying to be funny and then laughing at her own jokes to keep things running smoothly. Don't get me wrong, I quite like her sense of humour, I just think she's a useless host.
