LOL I put 'fella' because I couldn't remember his name, sorry! I'm more football than rugby. I think he plays for England too.Stunty it was a kiss after training in a taxi I think that made it to the Sunday papers a couple of weeks ago. Those paps get everywhere don't they. He certainly looked a bit bashful if you ask me ...... awwww, he managed nearly the whole run of SCD before running into the path of our lovely tabloids. Am I being really dreadful wondering if the offending pic is on-line somewhere?

I found DOI literally unwatchable...because I did make an effort thinking I might be in the 'mood' to enjoy it for once.
There's just something really tacky about the production and unsatisfying about the limitations on what the celebs are able to achieve...although I've no doubt they're as accomplished in their way as the Strictly contestants. Plus the team theme was all a bit phony for me. The opening production number, which ended with a child being 'put on top of the tree as a fairy' was quite spectacular, and anything but tacky. But I guess it depends what you enjoy or appreciate. |

The only dances I really enjoyed were Tom & Camilla's (huge fan
- was in tears when they won the final ) - and Kelly & Brian's - I thought that yet again Tom was underscored - I mean 37, come on judges - I think it deserved a 39! ![]() Well done Tom & Camilla though - they won the final ![]() Cheers. |

The team theme is quite common in professional competitions/events in America, and T&D have participated in them many times before. Plus it was just a variation from a 'Champion of Champions' theme, which I personally thought worked really well.

I agree. I enjoyed the DOI xmas special as I always do. I don't get why some people find it tacky? I love the danger element of DOI, you know that one of the celebs could easily get quite seriousley hurt and that makes you appreciate what they do and how much they learn even more.

i only watch it (un=religiously) to ease the withdrawel symtoms of strictly (im really gutted its over). i just cant warm to it the same way i do Strictly, i find DOI all to, i dont know the word for it, i supose 'silly' at times, and i never have a fave, but there you go..

I was thinking, when watching it, how much more physical ability DOI requires from the celebs. You couldn't have had someone like John Sergeant on it, you'd run the risk of them having a very nasty accident.
