He is telling it like is. It is dreadful and its ruining the show.

Imagine the number of threads there would be if you ever found a celeb to take part who was that good
I'm thinking it would take more than a few years at Sylvia Young and a couple of ballet lessons?

Actually Sian asked to see the Pro dance again and bill commented on how it was amazing. I'm sure Craig did make some comment about it but I don't remember that he was directly comparing it to JS or any other Pro/Celeb cha cha. He also said that seeing the pro's dance like that was why he loved the show so much.

Also there was an email in about the fact that if the judges were a little nicer to John it wouldn't drive people in droves to vote for him and they'd then get their wish for him to be out of the competition - Craig did acknowledge that it's a possibility (Blimey Craig, all you have to do is look back over the past series to see that's what actually DOES happen) but said they can't change the way they critique now (don't see why not - you do it for almost every other contestant!)

I know there was loads more but I just wanted to add a bit more in for those that missed it.

No. That way, most of the women celebs will NOT stand a chance, except perhaps Alesha.

I am running a little behind today but I will definitely upload it this evening

*resists the urge to blow Katie a kiss*

*waiting patiently for the clip*

Thank you, Katie! I can't believe Craig isn't aware that being vile to a contestant only compels the viewers to vote in their droves. Not the shiniest sparkle in the wardrobe, is he?

I for one am disgusted that an elderly, portly newsreader isn't as good at char char char as the world champions

perhaps next year they could just have all professional couples dancing with each other ..... oh hang on, that went off the air because no-one wanted to watch it !

Actually, to be more precise, they were aspiring amateurs. But I get your sarcasm...

I've left it uploading now, I'm so shattered I'm going to bed now! But it should be available on my youtube channel within the next hour once it has finished uploading.

If not I will sort it out tomorrow

John's dance was only a disaster for the viewing public.

Sorry for the wait

Thanks katie, you're a star

Eternal Life, full respect for your straight, consistent position openly stating and voting where you stand without innuendo. John-Kristina upon making the Last Eight have become a cause celebre much more than Kenny who made the Last Five in SCD5.

Below are the YouTube viewing numbers for last Saturday's dances. With DS SCD forum readership estimated at below 1,000 (all our polls totalling under 800), the YouTube total viewership of 50,000 replays by 6:30 pm Monday may be a truer reflection of nationwide public opinion. The judges placed John-Kristina at bottom of nine, the public valued them at fourth of nine. Evidently GBP see something the indcandescent judges and their sympathisers do not.

I personally do not hold GBP in contempt.

Thank you, Katie! I must say that it was ridiculous of Craig to compare the pro cha cha cha to John and Kristina's. Those pros have been dancing for most of their life and have dedicated their entire existence to dancing; John and the other celebs have only been learning how to dance for the past couple of months. If any of the celebs had reached that standard in such a short space of time, wouldn't that be a mockery of all the sacrifices, time, heartache, dedication and sheer dogged deterimination which the pro dancers had to have to reach the top!

Well, a good slapstick joke, Laurel and Hardy style, obviously.

Me neither, well not all of them anyway
