I still think it's crass and inappropriate - if the RBL feel they have to resort to such tactics, it's a sad reflection on our society

Personal opinion, I'm not going to the Daily Mail with it.

The more I see Tom, the more he irritates me.

What was interesting was that he mentioned the semi-final at all.

Get a grip he no doubt donated more for that poppy than most people do in a life time.

The cause get publicity and money what the problem

I always let my daughter glitter her poppy she knows all about the cause and what people did for us so where is the harm

I find your comments more offensive

Sorry Ende but the abuse culture is getting way out of control this year! Bit touchy and also so cheesed off with never cathing a couple on here that I am actually interested in watching!

That was a total waste of time.

Think that was the worse show yet.

What's the point of having an opinion if you don't go to the Daily Mail with it???

I wonder how many of the celebs failed Maths at school?

I don't mind the poppy, but I do agree that society's reflection is worth crying over .

Boring show today.
I love the backstage feature normally but this one was rubbish. We barely saw the celebs and pros at all
A really short interview with Andrew and Ola as well and they didn't even recap his entire time (AS?)
Judges bit was okay but not exactly informative.
Tom and Camilla's interview was alright but their not one of my favourites so I found it a tad dull - though I did enjoy the VT of them messing about.

I think I'm just generally in a bad mood.

Exactly. He has her there already.

From the 10 most scathing judges comments, 3 were directed at Mark and that didn't even include Bruno's geek effort; not that I was surprised, just confirmed what I thought - they saved their bitchiness for Mark.

Very telling wasn't it?

One of my all time favourite songs. But dancing a Quickstep to it seems odd.

I'd always thought you could dance a Paso to it.

As for Len, I reckon having re-watched the show he now feels his comments were a tad harsh towards Rachel, when he effectively said that if she didn't wow him with the Jive, she might as well give up because she was unlikely to wow him with any other dance.

And yep, it seems to me Len has Cherie penciled in for the semi-final at least.

I enjoyed getting to see the audience, where they come in, etc. though I agree it wasn't the best backstage report. I really hated the top ten - none of those remarks was funny or clever and they kept showing the contestants' reactions as they winced or looked hurt - how is reliving that fun?

I liked Andrew and Ola's interview, though I think he looks exhausted rather than fit after all that training. He's another example that, no matter how people go on about training hours, if you can't do it no amount of training really makes enough difference. Jodie and Ian are (I think) quite low on the training hours, but they are improving. Perhaps it's actually good not to exhaust yourself?

Tom and Camilla were fine - I can't get excited about them but I don't know why. She didn't really say 'A Town called Malice' though, did she?

A Town Called Malice is a great quickstep choice- I can see where the kicks and the scatter chasses will go.

This could be a great dance

couldn't agree more Ignazio and not a mention of all his hard work, Arlene has already said that Mark needed to get an attitude.

winnie

The only part I find amusing in tonight's ITT is when that backstage guy test his 'joke' out with Austin, he LOL and then straightaway gave a poker face: It's not funny.

I didn't like the backstage report tonight and it's usually my favourite part of the Monday show. We didn't see enough of the couples and the rehearsals.

The last thing any judge should do is reveal that they think someone is going to get to a stage of a competiton

If anything it's more likely to annoy GBP and try put someone in the danger zone

Hi guys

Missed tonight's ITT - could someone tell me if Rachel or Christine was on?

Thanks

Hi Sid. Neither was on. Rachel & Vincent are on tomorrow.

You didn't miss much tonight. Andrew & Ola of course, and Tom and Camilla. A bit :yawn: overall.

In fact I think Christine may even be on tomorrow as well - not sure about that though.

Christine is on tomorrow with Matthew (obv.) and Adrian.

Neither of those two were on other than in the general recap bits.

Studio guests were Andrew & Ola, Craig & Arlene and Tom & Camilla.

Cheers Daisy, Smiley and Cat - smooches all round x x x

I'm in for a treat tomorrow then

(and I'm a fan of Adrian Chiles too!)

Tom seems to have been on a hell of a lot....
