It's the remains of the Berlin Wall, lots of room for all of us.

Not a huge Alesha fan, and was never under the illusion that someone from the music industry with her figure and dance ability, never had any dance training.

I am sure the BBC knew this also, and decided it was never advanced enough for her to have an advantage in the competition.

So she came into SCD with a dance background whereas most of the other dancers start with no dance experience at all.

Is that why she dances so well week, after week, after week? Has she got an unfair advantage over the other dancers? (including Matt and Gethin).

I thought there must be a reason why she is probably one of the best dancers I have seen on SCD to date.

So is this fair when all the celebreties don't start from the same point?”

This has been done to death. It could also be said that Alesha and Matt di Angelo had an advantage in that they seemed to have little else to do.

Quite a lot of this year's contestants (like every other year) had little else to do - Kenny, Brian, Stephanie, Letitia, Penny... In fact Matt's recent problems seem to have resulted from him having quite a lot to do, completing his EE work - in effect, he was simultaneously learning 2 dances plus a short play to performance standard in under a week. His experience probably shows is a good idea for actors especially not be be working at the same time as Strictly. The one group of people who seem to be able to carry on working at something like normal level are presenters.
