Never watched it but from what people I know say it's not always the best dancer that wins.

I think you're right. The really rotten dancers are obvious and are weeded out fairly quickly, although I'm sure voters at home often support their favourite personalities rather than consider their dancing expertise. There's also the 'pity' vote, that doesn't take into account how well these contestants dance. At times, I'm convinced the voting is fixed. Not sure, though.

Nothing, they are excellent, my post was in reply to someone but the posts have since been merged so it has become meaningless

Yes, I'm a bit lost with the random comments.

Hmmmmmmm.. now someone called Fleur East (???) ex- X factor, rapper and host of some obscure radio station. Ok.

I'm believing more and more that now the producers are fast running out of bone fide celebrities to take part, perhaps going down the route of mixing up any remaining celebrities with members of the public or armed /police/fire/ forces. Celebrities are on at least 50 grand to appear and more the longer they stay in, so I'm sure us plebs would love to have a pay day like that for having the time of their life !

I've heard many contestants say that appearing on Strictly has been one of the best experiences of their lives. A bit of an overstatement? And, it gets my goat when, during their farewell speech after being kicked off, they say they and their professional partner will be 'friends for life'. Sentimental rubbish!

According to Google it was Dancing Club, but I don't remember that. My friend who passed a couple of years ago, was a dance teacher at one of his dancing studios in London . Me and my Mum always watched Come Dancing - in black and white, and loved all the formation dancing, it was always Frank and Peggy Spencers team from Penge that won the trophy. Oh the Military Two Step ! 😂 where the blokes saluted and the ladies curtsied, never see that on Strictly do we !

And whatever happened to Edmundo Ross and his maracas and frilly shirts 😂😂

He morphed into Jill Franks!
 
In the early days it was old Brucie and vote for who you thought danced the best. Then about 5 years or so back it was vote for your favourite.

Last year everyone knew Rose would win as someone said unless they have film of her abusing puppies no way will she not win. Pretty, on a soap and deaf. She was not the best dancer and no doubt knew that. Some of her comments, she came across as quite arrogant but was still lovely pretty Rose in the media.

She’s not even been officially confirmed (at time of writing).
So if she’s supposed to be keeping quiet until properly announced, then I’d boot her off. Annoying mare.

Oh, Helen 'girl next door', 'butter wouldn't melt' knows how to play the game, don't you worry about that mate. Don't get me wrong, I think her husband is a total prick, but any girl who elbows her way onto BluePeter (back in the day) ain't no shrinking violet.
 
And didn't she cause a stir at the 2012 Olympics (was it really that long ago or another Olympics ?) when commentating on the swimming, had her dress ride up to her thighs ?

Hamza Yassin ?????? who ?
James Bye ???? don't watch Eastenders.

Bit spooky this, because I was watching Animal Park (Longleat) one morning this week. Something I never normally watch, and he was on that with a very large telephoto lens. Seemed a lovely bloke and I was intrigued by his very long dreads so I googled him.
Wildlife cameraman, born in Sudan but moved to Scotland when very young.
Next day it was announced that he was on Strictly.

Saw an advert yesterday ,this woman was sat on the loo with a pad in her hand pouring water on it to show how it absorbed liquid.
 
All this lot can obviously clear their diaries (through lack of work) for the next 3 months, so that their 'profile' is upped, with a more than little cash incentive for their trouble. Thing is, they become known for the few weeks in the limelight, but can anyone remember if Strictly actually kept someone in the public eye ? A few do live off their win for a while - like Ore Oduba who even as Strictly Winner as his Twitter headline !

I've seen it too,that and the blood soaked sanitary pad. Advertisers want a rocket up their backsides.

On Tuesday morning I attended a local eye hospital for cataract surgery. Before the op, you have to sit in the waiting lounge for about an hour while they put drops in at regular intervals. On the wall was a ginormous tv screen, tuned into one of the property renovation channels. Every 10 minutes the adverts came on, which every time consisted of the woman sat on the loo with her knickers round her ankles waving a Tena pad , and someone pouring red liquid onto a sanitary pad. Now the average age of the patients was probably 70, and most were men. It was most embarrassing for everyone, you couldn’t escape it, as the screen practically filled the whole wall. It was obvious how uncomfortable it made everyone feel. Those adverts are disgusting.

Mr V is very old school and quite prudish but at 71 he isn`t going to change now. He tuts and complains when the ads for incontinence pads, sanitary wear, viagra and condoms come on the TV. He insists there`s no need for them.
I don`t mind them but I spent many years working for Salvation Army Social Services and came across people with STD`s, all kinds of addictions and the health related problems of those addictions, everything from gangrene, abscesses, collapsed veins, incontinence and skin diseases are just some of them. I also had young men who sold themselves on the street and not to mention a great number of men with mental health issues and once had to chase someone who`d run around the hostel stark naked because he insisted someone had implanted a tracker on him. I also key worked sex offenders who were newly released from jail or waiting to go to court having been bailed pending their hearing ( we were also a bail hostel) and believe me reading some of their files would make your hair curl and their background had to be kept secret because if other residents found out they would probably take the law into their own hands Just some of the sights and plights of working in such an environment and I now reckon I`m unshockable.

Absolutely,(sorry another over used word on Qvc) I would have asked for the channel to be changed to be honest. But,with having surgery and everything else you've got enough going on. Inclusivity,diversity,woke all that crap has gone to the advertisers heads. I'm so glad I'm not young and starting out now😬
