I love Strictly, it does cause arguments in the house though.. Kids get jealous of me paying attention to something else for a couple of hours a week and so does Mr. Asset even though he secretly likes it too.

Anyway, I was a bit disappointed to see Felicity has succumbed to Botox, that forehead cannot move a jot it's so frozen, does a fair bit of yoga though by the looks of it. Michelle Williams is dreadful, so wooden, Pamela was good but I can't bear the luvviness. Who's the guy Scott - he looks like a gangster, good dancer though it seems. Patsy a bit crap but nerves mainly it looks like.

Let's hope the dresses are better this year than last year's.

My guilty pleasure.

No..


But then I don't look at that sort of thing


* ahem *



W**F

I totally *heart* Strictly. Glad to find a thread about it :)

Just some of my thoughts on last nights Halloween special.


Pamela & James - She's got great natural dance ability and can perform it well but HUGE mistake aside, for some reason the jive didn't seem to work for her.

Tina & Jared - Much better job in their Argentine Tango but they seem to lack personal chemistry with each other.

Kara & Artem - For me, this was the Dance of the night. Dramatic, technically very good and finally some performance from Kara.

Patsy & Robin - Bless her, but Patsy always looks like she's dancing at a wedding after 4 glasses of wine.

Felicity & Vincent - Quite flat and boring, and what has happened to her top lip?

Jimi & Flavia - Really great performance piece. Who would have thought a zombie could do the Paso Doble so well.

Michelle & Brendan - The spat between Len & Brendan was the highlight of the dance. And Len was right IMO...lacking A LOT of content which is fair enough as she missed 2 days training. Brendan could have just defended the dance of that basis but threw a bit of a strop.

Gavin & Katya - Gavin, Gavin, Gavin...you are like polished floorboards....flat, shiny & stained. How can a person be that lacking in personality. What a waste of Katya's very impressive charms ;)

Scott & Natalie - Didn't quite understand the high marks, but then i'm not a huge fan of the Viennese Waltz. All that spinning makes me dizzy just watching.

Ann & Anton - Can we start a campaign for a medal for Anton? He needs something for all his heroic efforts.

Matt & Aliona - They are my favourite couple since the start but this was a poor dance. Lacking in content and nervously executed. He is probably the best dancer in the show but the choreography wasn't great. Sorry Aliona...we still love you.


Result show is on 20mins or so and my bet is on Michelle/Brendan & Gavin/Katya in the bottom 2. Probably Michelle will go.

Mr Roar and the miniroars all in agreement about loving the Strictly.


Quite sad about cute little Tina and the even cuter little bloke.


Felicity should have gone I think! agree about the botox, it is quite a 'coming up' look it's given her.


Rooting for Matt & Aliona but Patsy is really growing on me, totally agree about the wedding dancing though, that's part of the charm.


Gavin, Felicity or Michelle to go next week.

Was surprised to see Tina & Jared go, but on Strictly it feels that you've got to be either a very good dancer or very good entertainment to survive....and I guess she was just a little too average in both.


I agree with you mightyroar - Gavin, Felicity or Michelle to go next week. I'm torn though about Gavin. I want him to leave but want Katya to stay in >:D<


Anyway, roll on next week.

I think Strictly Come Dancing has jumped the shark.

For all those out there who don't know what I'm talking about its a reference to an episode when the Fonz jumped the shark while waterskiing as I remember....it was something so ridiculous, the programme Happy Days lost its relevance or at least began to lose it. For Dallas, the equivalent moment was when Bobby stepped out of the shower a series after he died. For Eastenders, I think Dirty Den's return symbolized a moment when the programme makerse had lost their senses. For Brookside, my gosh any amount of moments could be presented as evidence.

This season marks that moment for Strictly Come Dancing. Ann Widdecombe's progress highlights the fact that the programme is not what it was when it began, it's morphed into something else.

Well Gavin's still in. Dancing has improved but personality not.


Ann went out with dignity at last but showed good humour at least, there's no denying she has been a memorable part of this year's show.


Scott in the bottom two so obviously not down to dancing ability. Looking forward to the semi and the final. Can an older woman win for the first time?

Well, Scott only scored two more points than Gavin who was in the bottom two with Ann so I don't think it's THAT which is the main indication the public don't vote based on ability.


Taking ten weeks to get rid of Ann... now THAT is an indication people aren't voting on ability.


As for Scott, I think he's gone off the boil lately, and am getting a bit tired of his complaining he is tired working on east enders at the same time. He's not the only one doing two jobs - think Matt's been doing Countryfile the whole time.

    • Two local ‘High Streets for People’ events happening today: - Southwark celebrates High Streets for People On Saturday 21 June, Southwark Council is bringing residents, families, communities and businesses together to celebrate our High Streets. On Bellenden Road, Peckham, there will be a community event from 11am to 4pm with children’s games, face-painting, live music including a samba band and DJs, food from local businesses, cycling activities and much more. The road will be temporarily shut to vehicles between Danby Street and Choumert Road from 7am to 7pm, with buses diverted during this time to make space for community and family activities. Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets and Waste, said: “What a great way to celebrate the first day of Summer! Streets for People is about putting people first — making our neighbourhoods places where communities can connect, businesses can thrive, and everyone can enjoy cleaner air and safer streets.” Partners in the event include Bellenden Road businesses, London Play, Peddle my Wheels, JoyRiders, Community Cycleworks, the London Samba Band, OurBike, Poetic Unity. North Cross Road market will also be extended on Saturday 21 June, with extra traders taking part. Vehicle access will be restricted up to Lacon Road between 8am and 5pm to accommodate this. Local communities are also organising a number of play streets and street parties to mark the start of summer. The council has approved 18 road closures in June and July, allowing communities to enjoy their streets without traffic for the day. All these activities support Southwark’s Streets for People strategy, which seeks to make streets across the borough cleaner, greener, safer and more welcoming.  Investments are being made in walking and cycling routes, improved air quality, and creating more space for community use. Find out more at www.southwark.gov.uk/highstreetsforpeople As part of its commitment to do something each year that brings residents, community groups and businesses together to take climate action, Southwark Council has also arranged a number of free events as part of London Climate Action Week. You can view the full list of events at www.southwark.gov.uk/climate-week
    • It does seem a common business strategy these days. River Island has just announced a similar restructuring: closing 33 shops and demanding that the landlords of a further 71 locations take a haircut. 
    • If anyone has any spare tickets for Crystal Palace on Sunday let me know!
    • The tenant's business has already failed. If the landlord doesn't accept it, they can have a vacant property, stand in the queue of creditors, and get paid little or nothing. It's a gamble that the restructuring will work and the tenant will start paying rent again. Commercial properties are often hard to let. 🤷
