Good. He shouldnt even be on it.

Fair point I guess but then neither should Alexandra Burke or Debbie McGee and then it wouldn't be very interesting tele watching a load of people be dead shit at dancing.

That is the whole point. Then to see which of them actually become good.

We're still getting that as well though with the likes of that Holby guy, one legged guy and Gemma Atkinson, but they need a few ringers in there.

Don't get me wrong though, I'd love if Alexandra Burke went. Can't stand her.

[Stevie-A]

What a great moment last night...

A gay woman refers to her wife.... no subcontract, no agenda.. no nothing apart from it being the way it is.

Watching with kids, I thought it was a pivotal moment of acceptance...

I agree entirely.

[Buck Pete]

Fucking Hell, My missus is a big Red like myself but took Aston's eviction worse than the cup semi result against Villa a few seasons ago. And she was actually at the game!!

Don't get me wrong i Like Strictly myself, think its produced really well as looks bloody tough to compete in but I wasn't that arsed the little fella got booted.

I'm just glad Davood and Nadiya are still in as she is absolutely smokin'

[Crosby Nick]

Is she part owl?

There's a world of difference between doing a few routines in a boy band and having the discipline to dance ballroom properly or some of the latin dances. It may have given him a bit of a head start, but not that much - I would blame Janette really for choreographing such a poor routine - it was nothing like a Viennese waltz.
 I'd agree 100% about Susan's wife being on - it's nice that such a thing can be on prime time Saturday night TV without any problem. I think Susan's great too. She's the type of person who benefits from SCD. A complete non-dancer who progresses.

I don't really like Alexandra - she's too 'X-Factor'y - over emotional and exaggerated.

Just looks like her head is doing weird things compared to her body in that picture you attached. Maybe she’s also in The Exorcist?!

I stopped watching this once Ola, Kristina and Aliona left. I may have to revisit.

Haha yeah see what you mean Nicholas

Thought you were comparing her with Hodge Podge for a minute there!!!

Well her methods to translate from the Foxtrot, to the Tango to the Rumba.

[Red Viper]

Shite result that. Mollie and AJ completely over marked this week. Should have been them going

Casually and thoughtlessly mentioned to the missus I'd seen pictures of that one naked, that got a what the fuck have you been looking at response..

[AlphaDelta]

I am guessing the general public arent big fans of that Alexandra Burke? I dont make a habit of watching it but it was on last night and apparently she was in the dance off last week also?

Dont get that, her and McGee have both been professional dancers, so hows that fair against someone who hasnt. Its like Gordon Ramsey being in the Great British Bake Off.

PS  - Claudia Winkleman gets on my fooking nerves big time!

I don't think either are professional dancers but both have had significant dance experience. Debbie McGee was a ballet dancer when she was young and Alexandra Burke has been a musical theatre star for the past few years.

My problem with last night was that it's not really in the spirit of the competition for Davood, who's never danced a day in his life prior to this, is getting kicked off after attempting probably the most difficult dance. We're now left with 4 women and 1 man and 3 of those women will have had some dance training in their careers. (Mollie King was a popstar so I'm not having that she'd not had a little bit of training at least)

[Zeppelin]

I'm guessing that AB is unpopular (a) because of her perceived dance experience and (b) because she comes across as insincere and too 'X-Factor -y'.
 My wife and I both thought that Davood's routine was sensational and expected 4 tens - we were amazed when the judges marked it so low - it shows how little we know about these things! Sorry to see him go out as he was improving week by week.

It's laughable though Debbie is the one who has the most experience in dancing, more than AB anyway. Yet she sails through the judges and the public. Strictly is more a popularity show than a dance one now, which is a shame. I feel for Davood, its true its harder on the men, as they have to lead their partners.

[killer-heels]

Celebrities with dance training of any significant length should not be allowed on.

They should have separate competitions for the men and women.

[sinnermichael]

Popular but slightly surprising result.

The right result and well deserved. Glad Alexandra and Debbie didnt win.

[TepidT2O]

Popular but slightly surprising result.

Called it weeks ago..

[Alan_X]

Fully deserved. Not really surprising as it’s all on the public vote. Neither Alexandra or Debbie  are massively popular with the public and all the Scottish vote that kept Susan Calman in for so long would have voted Joe.

(Not that I was watching like).

[electricghost]

Deserved winner of a fantastic series

[rob1966]

My dozy missus watched the show then turned over after the last dance had finished as she thought the results were tomorrow, so missed the results 

[Pistolero]

That final was a terrific couple of hours of entertainment ...hats off to all concerned... and well done Joe..great result

[Zeppelin]

Delighted with the outcome - I was at a concert last night, so recorded the final and spent all morning avoiding the result. Just watched it this afternoon. Fantastic entertainment - brilliant performances all round.

[sinnermichael]

Starts tomorrow then when they all find out who they'll be paired with. Obviously struggling for star names this year as I've never heard of half of them.

Dr Ranj Singh
Stacey Dooley
Ashley Roberts
Katie Piper
Lauren Steadman
Danny John-Jules
Susannah Constantine
Seann Walsh
Graeme Swann
Faye Tozer
Kate Silverton
Lee Ryan
Vick Hope
Charles Venn
Joe Sugg

Katie Piper - Acid burn victim/model
Lauren Steadman - no idea?
Danny John-Jules - Red Dwarf?
Susannah Constantine - Posh clothes knobhead
Seann Walsh - hairy comedian (not Justin Lee Collins)
Graeme Swann - England cricketer
Faye Tozer - Steps?
Kate Silverton - Newsreader
Lee Ryan - Blue singer
Vick Hope - no idea
Charles Venn - no idea
Joe Sugg - no idea

Added some expertise for you there. I need to get out more!

Charles Venn is a medic in Casualty, so Mrs P informs me.

[Hazell]

We all know who should win:

[TepidT2O]

I can’t be arsed with all this dancing lark... but the live music they put on on every week is great quality..

So much better than the talent show warbling that seems to be the only other source of live music on mainstream tv,

[Ray K]

Like you pretend not to know if Faye was in Steps.  You're fooling nobody, Nick. Though 'Posh Clothes Knobhead' is a fair description of Susannah.

I swear someone from Blue is on this every year.

Probably will won't he? Wasn't he literally a professional dancer?

[Buck Pete]

I actually prefer Grifters description of her in this classic Rant

"twatting blubber bellied, massive knickered, wankstain, pig faced, family bucket fannied bastard."

Haha much better.

Surely the Pussycat Doll should go far. Was literally a backing dancer for Shirt Swinger wasn’t she?

And yes Ray, Faye was in Steps but I was more of an H man.

And yes, Glen Ponder and Lazarus are great (as we say every year!)

[rob1966]

Had to Google Lauren Steadman, she is a paralympic athlete

Oh, one of those “watch the Olympics, can’t be bothered with the Paralympics” types are you Rob? Shame on you.
