It's so difficult for a TALL girl...

"How important is the music?"

Pretty much anything that comes out of Arlene's mouth

You are a perfect little package!

This dance is famously difficult to do - about any dance

OMG! Tell me about it! So this series the difficult dances are.... the chacha, samba, jive, rumba, paso, salsa, tango, AS, foxtrot, quickstep, waltz, VW.... so all of them.

The most difficult Latin dance is:

Well, pick 1 out of cha cha, salsa, samba, jive blah de blah.

Not forgetting the most difficult ballroom.
That would be the waltz. No, the VW. No, the foxtrot. No, the QS. No.....

'When will the judges ever learn'

'It's obvious that the judges want Austin / Lisa / Rachel / Tom / Dick / Harry / Bruce / Beyonce...in the final'

'Brendan's just speaking his mind / only being honest / telling it like it is...'

'I didn't feel any emotion / get any connection / feel the earth move / <some other vague intangible excuse for pointless criticism>'

Craig - I can't believe a *sportman of your choice* can dance.

Why? Darren Gough and Mark Ramprakash won, Colin Jackson and Matt Dawson reached the final, John Barnes and Peter Schmeichel finished 7th but both had one outstanding dance.

You are the dark horse of the competition.

any sentence talking about what a journey they've been on!

Definately- the CHAR CHAR CHAR

So annoying.

This series, s/he is so smug!

There was too much messing abhaat
There wasn't enough content
That was SO amazing (everything has to be "SO" in strictly)

Len always says 'you came out .........' before he is about to give a backhanded compliment. As if they should be awarded a seVEN for just coming out onto the dance floor.

Thanks, everyone.

SCD just cries out for a Dawn and Jennifer parody.

Only - it's already so cheesy that perhaps a parody would be impossible. The judges already send themselves up with all that posturing. At least I HOPE that they don't really believe half the rubbish they say!

I'd ban them all from saying "2 dances in one week is so hard", so many soundbites featuring that is so boring.

Can I add a word to the banned list, "amazing", its the only adjective that seems to come out of Rachel's mouth, grrr.

Agree and the Craig version is not much better

I'd add "I've got so much more to give".

'This is the best thing I've ever done'

Really better than winning the world cup, european championships, european cup, being world record holder, olympic champion, playing for England, being number one in the charts, being in the biggest soap on TV or getting married and having children.

(... insert dance here...) is my favourite dance. (Even tho something else was their favourite dance last week.)

Len: some dances just don't suit some people (ie you were rubbish but since I like you I'll ignore that and mark up)

Anything alliterative from Arlene

Damn, you beat me to it!

Any 3-syllable word used by Craig.
Fab u lous.
Terr i fic.
A ma zing.

OR as I prefer to say:



craig shut up

Courtesey of Bruce;
"You're my favourite!"
