BBW can't do apostrophes FACT

[bigbadwolf]

Quidles can't remember to include full stops. Fact.

[????]

True

[Moos]

So EDF - a schoolyard fight over the correct use of the apostrophe. Where's PGC when you need her?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Backing Keef all the way. Elegance is the barometer of good grammar and St. Thomas' is better than St. Thomas's.

[Mick Mac]

Save Martina please,,,

[woofmarkthedog]

Though she's made of wood.

[Ann]

Oops looks like Martina's gone. She was always going to struggle with the voters, not well known as a personality in the Uk.

[woofmarkthedog]

I've carved a little Martina out of balsa & stood her near my lap top.

She looks so graceful.

[daizie]

da da da da da da da dadadadada ..

Very surprised Martina Hingis got booted off as from what I saw tonight she was one of the best contestants. No way was Oxo woman or Big Joe as good as Hingis. I think the show has lost some credibility with that result... although not being a regular viewer maybe this is part of the game.

[Tony.London Suburbs]

Good to see The Meterosexual Man is alive and well.

I'm about to start a Mens Knitting class for the Guys on here, anyone interested?

[Keef]

Never saw last night, but gutted Hingis has gone, she has good legs!

[Mick Mac]

Yes she has Keef. I won't be watching anymore. I just wish I had called in more times though, I could have saved her.

And what was Len thinking? Did he have to be so objective, next time Len, just let Martina stay, not some bloke noone has ever heard of.

Shocking.

Disgruntled from ED.

[Asset]

They are all pretty dreadful so far. The only one with any promise is the woman from the Bill. If next weeks batch doesn't pull a few decent dancers out of the bag it's going to be a painful 14 weeks.

Aleysha doesn't convince me at all.

[Ann]

Asset I agree about Aleysha, especially when she said "you nailed it. " That most irritating phrase belongs to X Factor, I expect a more articulated response from Srictly judges. Arlene Phillips would never have said that.

Rant over.

[matthew123]

I'll not be watching it again either Mick - do you think ITV would have rigged the vote to keep Hingis?

Some people have always voted for who they like as an individual not who is the best dancer - e.g. John Sargeant and Kate Garroway were both utterly hopeless but stayed in for way longer than they deserved because the audience kept voting for them.

Equally some have got knocked out early despite being good dancers - I can recall Gabby Logan getting kocked out way before her husband even though she was clearly the better dancer, but I don't think her competitive nature went down well with the audience. Seems to me guys being competitive is considered to be acceptable but girls who show too much ambition get shown the door - better to bang on about loving the dance and "the journey" if you are a girl.

The boxer should definitely have gone last night, dreadful posture. And yes, Lynda Bellingham's dancing left much to be desired, but at least she showed a little more personality than Joe.

Aleesha wasn't quite as bad a judge as I was expecting (has to be said my expectations were v low), but no way should Arlene have been booted off to make way for her. Arlene's got way more experience, and although she was prone to going gooey eyed over the best looking guys, and could be a bit bitchy, she was generally the judge whose views I respected the most.

They could have saved on Martina's fee and just wheeled a cardboard cutout around instead. It would have been an improvement in the personality stakes.

Aleeeeshar already seems to have run-out of useful things to say. She's way out of her comfort zone. Still, it is at least nice to have someone younger on the judging panel. The old line-up was starting to resemble a queue at a bus stop.
