It's much the same as last year



Two groups tonight, and some last night


They were on last night


Pass, they are a complete waste of oxygen, whether "singing" (!) or being interviewed.



Nope, just her normal "off the wall" self


She still is.

The irritating thing for me is the way Westlife are always billed as 'big fans of the show', yet they didn't seem to know many of the answers in the quiz!

They are big fans of the show because they always happen to have a song to plug at this time of year - that's all!

Westlife = boy band = 'nuff said

I like ITT more that SCD!
But Claudia could give more time to the dancers.She keeps saying 'We'll come back to you'and then doesn't.


All for a Westlife quiz :yawn:

All this blaming of Claudia for not giving enough time for things is total drivel. The *director* of the programme is in charge of that, the presenter is merely following instructions through an ear piece.

That Westlife quiz was indeed shocking, but not the fault of the presenter. I got the impression they'd run out of stuff to do and were stringing the segment out.

Claudia is fantastic and I can't imagine anyone else doing it (I do love JLC though!) and I agree there should be an immediate after show show like on series one.

Claudia is at the mercy of the producers and sometimes pluggy celebs bring hilarious moments - do you remember when Michael Ball was on last year and showed a dodgy cheesy cringy video to "Since you've been gone!" -of all songs and claudia asked him if he had shut down all of Habitat to film it?

It just showed though that Westloife aren't "great friends of the show" - cos they knew NOTHING!!!

They do try to cram too much in though - I mean its on EVERY weeknight from now until christmas - so need for the rushing really is there?

I think they should bring back the after show show (!) - they do that for DOI etc and it's kinda nice to hear them all speak directly after.
They seemed to give Gethin & Camilla more air time than normal when they were on (pleasant surprise).
I like Claudia, esp. her shoes, but did like JLC better. I'm never really sure whether she really is thick or just plays the part really well. Whatever, she's funny most of the time, but sometimes a bit too 'nice'.
I would like to see them be a bit more controversial tho and bring up some of the issues that people are really talking about - eg results show on Sundays etc.

That annoyed me too, they'd quite clearly been breifed on what to say, I don't believe they've ever watched the show for enjoyment, why would they? Anyone who knows anything about the show would have known the answer to those What Happened Next ...? questions immediately! Grr.

Should have given more time to Matt & Alesha last night. They're brilliant.

Claudia hasn't changed, though. She's still as random and herself as she always has been.

It's since she grew her fringe out

Yes - and her outfits are not nearly as good, though her shoes as ever, are FAB!
