Strictly Come Dancing

Having watched and enjoyed Strictly for many years I am disappointed in this year's show. It's getting very tired. What is all the fuss about over Angela Rippon. I don't feel she's been tested yet with the more complex dances. I believe the Strictly producers are being selective. Also, let's not forget she has a dance history. A definite advantage in my view. Get her out. Just look at some of the work the contestants with no dance background are producing. They are the real winners in my book. I'm not a producer so I'm unable to make any suggestions but I feel it needs a completely new formula.

this show is fantastic, for me it's the perfect Saturday Night show, a bit serious and loads of fun, music, creativity, talents, entertainments ans emotions.

the 11th series is going crazy, it's just awesome beyond description from the props, production, music, costumes, Makeup, Pro's, themes and fun, as will as genuine lovely people and creative hilarious new professionals.

Iveta was the best Pro of this series in terms of Creativity, imagination, and great choreography.

Kevin Clifton is making the Cliftons, Grimsby, the Whole UK nation proud with his difficult proper choreography and immense energy.

even the Long standing Brendan Cole found a partner whom pushed him to the limit with his Choreography, he's creating lovely pure dance routines this series.

I'm more in love with the show this year because from top to bottom it's mind to perfection, apart from Sir Bruce sadly who get's worse with time.

I never think that the wrong people being voted off, because it's a vote and everyone who puts hours and hours in training deserves to stay whatsoever specially because of the passion they deliver, there's no prize money or contracts or dreams might come true if they win, it's just done for the pure Joy and entertainment.

I envy every single person involved even the tea boy!

enough said That I am Happy all the way through, sometimes, laughing so hard that I might fall from the sofa, and enjoy this Magical world.

perfect Saturday night where I'll never say "my night was wasted" never !

Strictly Come Dancing is by no means a bad show, it is quite fun and the celebrities participating really enjoy themselves but as a Saturday night TV show, I do feel it is taken far too seriously, judges can be quite harsh and often seem to forget it's just a light entertainment show (Len Goodman blaming the viewers for voting wrong for example). So too do some viewers, getting quite angry if their "favourite" is knocked out.

I loved Saturday night TV in the 1990s when I was a kid, it used to be just all about fun and didn't take itself seriously. If they made Strictly a bit more like that, then it would be a great Saturday night show.

I sit through this rubbish to keep my wife company whilst she watches it. I'd rather be anywhere else and I mean anywhere else. It is appalling and the judges are some of the worst examples of human beings ever to be on prime time TV. Plus this drivel is funded by the TV licence which makes it even worse.

With shows like this spanning two hours of a Saturday evening, it's no wonder people go out and turn to drink. I'm appalled by the fact that by paying my TV license I'm helping fund garbage like this. Surely there's a better way to keep families entertained than two hours of people dancing and then cardboard cutout caricatures of judges play the crowd? I swear, the audience is only interested in hearing numbers of increasing value being shouted out, no matter how good or bad the performance was, and if one of the judges threw out the rules just for a moment and gave a contestant a mark of 11 out of 10, the audience would scream so gleefully loud that they'd all tear not only their vocal chords, but also a hole in space and time itself.

"Oh, but you simply must see (insert celebrity name here) do the Charleston!" I hear you say. No. No, I simply must not waste another second of my life watching this show with almost zero entertainment value. This is more the standards of ITV than BBC. In fact, I'm almost certain that this is actually a nationwide experiment for girlfriends and wives to test the patience and loyalty of their partners to the extreme. Can you sit through this without drifting off and staring at the wall for long periods of times? Without completely zoning out to the point of slipping into a coma? Try it. I dare you.

Fortunately for me I have to work Saturday nights. Unfortunately, with the wonders of catch-up, iPlayer and being able to record TV, I now have to witness it at any other moment in time as it's no longer restricted to its allocated slot. However, I do occasionally manage to slip through the net and avoid seeing around 90% of the show if I'm lucky.

I gave it a score of 2 out of 10. It gets one star/point for me and my partner still somehow being together, despite this show. It also gets a second star/point for my TV still being fully intact, no matter how strong the urge is to put my foot through the screen.
