Strictly Losing Interest

I am not sure what it is but this year's Strictly Come Dancing just doesn't have the appeal of the previous series'. I think it may be that I am not particularly enamoured of the group of celebrities, or that I don't think enough of them are taking it seriously and not trying hard enough, or it may just be as shallow as the fact that there are not enough sexy guys on it this year.
I can't mention the fact that I am losing interest to my flatmates though as I struggled to keep "possession" the remote today when they three of them came up from the pub to watch X-Factor only to find that I was watching the dancing. I got daggers from Penny, nothing unusual there. Alex, who doesn't like X-Factor either (or Strictly) mentioned that there were people who wanted to watch X-Factor, but I stuck to my guns and carried on watching Strictly. Jessica was kind enough to explain that it was fair enough as I was in front of the television first. She and Penny went to watch the screeching in her room. I was still left feeling slightly guilty though, which is bloody stupid as I pay to live here too!

There was nothing particularly spectacular about tonight's show though. Chris managed to remember his routine, as did Laila. Jade and Ali were the best two performances of the night and Jade still ended up in the dance off with Jo Wood. She obviously had nothing to worry about as it was inevitable that Jo would be the one to go of the two.
One very funny moment was when Alicia Dixon was commenting on Phil Tuffnell's dance and his determination to wiggle his arse in every dance. She said, fairly innocently, "We all like a bit of bum action!" I was pissing myself laughing.

I was a bit worried about Brucie's health though, he kept losing his place on the autocue and seemed a bit lost. I hope he is alright, he is getting on a bit.

I shall almost certainly keep watching the rest of the series, but I will not worry about staying in or getting home from work in time for it. And let's hope that the terrible celebrity dancers (Craig, Phil, Natalie and Ricky Groves) all begin to improve from next week. PLEASE!
