So Strictly started in earnest this week with the first dancer to be dumped off the show. It was inevitably Johnny Ball. But he had a chance to survive the dance off, because Richard Arnold was visibly shaken that he wasn't as popular as he thought he was. He should learn that just because you are over pleased to be on the show, not everyone shares the enthusiasm.
Where do we all sit on the whole Darcey Bussell thing? Not that we are sitting on her. But a Darcey Bussell does sound like something you would sit on. I'm finding her a little hard to warm to with that whole Lady Penelope meets Katherine Hepburn thing. In fact Darcey is so posh she makes Lady Penelope sound like Waynetta Slob. OK, Alesha didn't really know that much about dancing, and Darcey certainly does, but Alesha had a real presence that the school principle (ish ) Darcey doesn't yet. Plus, was it me or did Len get the hump when Darcey stole his fleckle thunder? Len always says fleckle first everyone knows that. But his mood did change a little way into the show was it Darcey / fleckle related? I guess we'll never know.
Thankfully the standing ovations were kept to a minimum. Last week it was getting to the point where the audience were standing for the fat bloke with the hat in the band. But someone should tell Bruce that friends and family getting to their feet does not constitute a standing ovation.
Kimberly Walsh and Pasha must be the front runners for this year's Tess/Claudia lack of chemistry award. While AntonDubeck still has a few weeks of flip comments before he and Jerry get booted out. It seems a long way to Christmas but I'm sure Strictly will drag us there, even if it is kicking and screaming.
