Strictly 2012

Hi Squawk and welcome to the Strictly lounge. 

Hi Squawk

I'm an anti-Denise one I'm afraid - partially because I do see her as a ringer but partly because I just can't warm to her - she's the sort of woman I'd go out of my way to avoid at a party for example!!  Not sure why she just makes me recoil instinctively....

Still haven't caught up with the Louis dance yet though....*sighs*..........having to work for a living doesn't half get in the way of life sometimes! 

Very fickle of me perhaps but what put me off Denise is when she was complaining at the start that she doesn't know why she's the favourite and her Chicago role was just sitting on a chair etc etc etc.  Then she turned up week one and was brilliant so I thought "sandbagger!"  But I have to concede that she is the best dancer, and will probably win it.

I'm still rooting for Louis.

Loved Karen's comments on ITT last night. Wouldn't it be great to have dancing lessions wit her?

She did defend "our Louis" that's for sure.......

........I'd rather have lessons with Ian Waite though, or Brendan...........but my fave was Mathew from all those years ago........................

THat's the boy

Yes. I could never understand why they got rid of Matthew and Ian, unless they felt the need to 'beef' things up for women viewers!

The beefcakes don't really do it for me, I'd rather watch Ian any day!

Another weekend when I get to watch it as it screens instead of on iPlayer the next day

guessing where I am dancing this weekend???!!!

the blackpool tower ballroom!

I was dissapointed too when they got rid of some of the old lot like Ian and Lilya, never really understood it, especially when some have been enrolled like Ian and Karen to do critiques

For me Matt was the best of both worlds - not as muscly as the Artems and Robins of this world but more toned and defined than the Ians and Antons......

In the same way really that triathletes combine the best bits of runners, cyclists and swimmers.............not that I spend my whole life perving blokes in lycra or dance kit you understand.........honest .......................................

The ballroom is amazing! it's such a shame strictly aren't going this year

With a bit of luck (and I DO like James, honest) Ian will be able to dance with Denise tonight!

*opens the Pringles*

looks like James is back, still wish they'd scrap the "humourous" VTs.
