I meant to say, it was nice to see Anton DANCE. Instead of steering someone around the floor. :-D

Got through the marathon just. Enjoyed most of it but the screaming
hordes upstairs and downstairs spoil it for me, that I feel will not
change.
Maddie I will stick with it, keep the coffee and sandwiches coming ;-)

I could not get out of watching last night, as it would have been rude to go out when we had visitors who were fans. I spent most of the time shouting at the telly, "SIT DOWN" every time that weird Italian bloke got up and waved his arms about and spoke in that exaggerated accent he uses. I think he is secretly a Yorkshireman. I am going to modify a Pac dog training collar that is wired to his chair so that every time his bum lifts off the seat it gives him a shock. I await the opprobrium of all you fans.

Oh dear Bob. #lobs over a throat sweet#

Beloved, went and watched something else in another room. :-D

I got more frustrated with all the whooping, squealing and clapping all the time.

Let the dancers dance, then clap. Have a bit of decorum. :-D :-D

I am not alone then Maddie :-D

Certainly not Emma. I see my least fave was going potty again. :-(

Did notice :-)

Obviously not enough people have been watching Strictly it takes two (or whatever it is called) because they have shunted Pointless forward and put it Takes two onto BBC1. Just wish they would not mess around with the programmes. All we will do is record Pointless and watch at the usual time. I can't stand the shouting on it takes two and not keen on Zoe Ball.

Enjoyed the first week, The two tall male celebs (you know who you are) were disappointing. Hope that they can enjoy themselves next week.
Some real surprises, especially the table tennis olympic champion and the CBBC presenter.
Will have to get back into the habit of taking notes.
Looking forward to next week.

P.S. The lady from Lonleat is also a chef. Not sure if I have seen her on T.v in the capacity.

Well hello Tess, how are you?

Lovely to see my 'gal pals' joining in again this year. Bob you are always welcome! :-(

I must admit I was surprised to see Take Two on BBC1 last night! I shall give this a miss this year, I cannot stand all the gurning that goes on.

I'm okay thanks Ann. Time seems to have flown by recently. Haven't done much on my tree (on another site) on been on here.
Just don't know where the year has gone.

Trying to get back into the swing of things now. Perhaps my housework needs to go to pot again (not that I do much anyway).

Looking forward to the complete Strictly season. But I still haven't even started dancing.

Tess.... leave the housework it will still be there a day after you do it!
Is it one to go tonight? Wonder who will be first off? :-D :-D

Flask, check.
Sarnies, check.
Rug for me knees, check.

Another marathon tonight! 2 hrs 10 mins. :-0

Maybe James. :-(

Gosh that was a long haul again. But quite enjoyable.

James had said in interviews that he felt awkward dancing, but he gave it a good go. David said he enjoyed has dance, but they marked him down.

The CBB's presenter Karim was great I thought.

Yes, I agree Karim was very good.:-D

One that is surprising me is Michelle Visage:-0. Wonder if she comes from a dancing background :-D

As you say, Maddie it was a long haul and I didn't see them all dance but my feeling is the person who should be waving bye bye should be James or David :-0 :-0 :-D

Yes I agree with Belle, James or David.

I think we are all in agreement with those two. I wonder what Tess thinks.

I lurve Michelle, she is one sassy lady. I don't know her on the Ru Paul show, but have seen her on another reality show (cant remember which one) and she doesn't stand any nonsense. :-D

Maddie, your least fave seemed very subdued last night and standing at the back....well he was when I started watching it :-S. But Anneka was near the front soaking up the atmosphere :-S :-D. Didn't see them dance :-D

Anneka was quite graceful I thought last night. I didn't know Michelle but she is good and she is certainly a 'worker'. I found that this time the celebrities did seem to be listening to the advice given by the judges. It is a bit strange though with unknown celebrities and also a few professionals we are not used to.
