Strictly Time Again

Only 3 judges this weekend.. The Bruno character has decided that he wants to be elsewhere.  Strange that the show's producers cannot find another judge to stand in for Bruno..

I missed Bruno this week.  Each of the judges add a different dynamic, and they always appear much more knowledgeable than their X-factor equivalents!!

I've given Shirley Ballas a few weeks to settle in before commenting on  her judging skills or what she brings to the show. 

She is just not gonna make it. Her logic is all wrong and her judging lacks common sense. Her combative attitude and favouritism brings nothing to an otherwise enjoyable entertainment show. The term "Snippy" best describes her attitude.   Best thing she can do is to sit the rest of the series out and not bother returning. ---As a viewer I consider that she is just an unnecessary encumbrance which the show can do without.

I've got no strong feelings about Shirley, Kennine, but I do wonder if one of the others ought to have been given the 'head judge accolade' - preferably Darcy?

Alexandra did well again tonight.  She's certainly been the most consistently good contestant, in my view.

I have to compliment Dave Arch, the Musical director and arranger for Strictly.----  His arrangements of the music and the vocals is superb. The four singers are talented and versatile.  Real professionals ....

Makes watching Strictly a pleasure,especially during this year where the celebrity dancing is disappointing and mundane.

You'll win with her David.

Finding all the messing about this year ,between and after dances starting to bore me now. Wish they would just get on with the dance and reduce the show to half the time.

We record the shows and zap through the boring bits before and  between dancing ---. You're absolutely right H.H. , it does reduce the show to half the time.

It's only 15 quid if you win - but 15 quid is 15 quid...  .
