Well, that shows how much I know doesn’t it! I can’t help thinking that “my” Denise would have scored higher, had she not been the first one out? How gorgeous is that David Ginola?! Wonder why Darren wore that vile red suit. It did however remind me that I had to post some letters the following day!
My favourite was actually Matt Dawson, and I have never really bothered too much about him. He really dominated his partner, so much so that I felt she was getting dragged around a little bit - and for a split second I was reminded of when Erin and Colin had those puppets as partners! But apart from that, I absolutely loved it. Fingers crossed Elaine Paige will take part as a full competitor in a future series.
I felt sorry for Jade - she was brilliant - and there was no need for Arlene to be the way she was.
Winner of course being Ramps - about time too!
Good job I am not a gambler though, isn’t it!

Don’t forget to turn your dial to BBC1 on Friday 14 March at 7pm, where you will see some old favourites as well as some new people who hope to impress us with their nifty footwork. The dancers are as follows:-
From past series:-
• Darren Gough
• Denise Lewis
• Roger Black
• Mark Ramprakash
• Matt Dawson
New faces:-
• Kara Tointon
• Gemma Bissix
• Elaine Paige
• Jade Johnson
• David Ginola
My money is on Darren Gough to win (again!), but secretly I am going to hope for Denise Lewis,(Runner Up Series 2) who I think was an absolutely brilliant dancer and I think it is fair to say that if she had not been up against the mighty Jill Halfpenny - she could have raised that disco ball! Still, what do I know!
Did you know, Strictly Come Dancing was originally meant to be a “one-off” for Sport Relief. Lucky for us dance people, the BBC know a good thing when they see it, and the magic that started with Brendan Cole and Natasha Kaplinsky blossomed into our favourite show!

“Pink is the colour, cha-cha is the game” !! Good news, dance fans!
I read this in the Sunday papers so it could/could not be true! (disclaimer and get out clause)
Chelsea midfielder “Fat” Frank has been linked to an appearance on this year’s Strictly Come Dancing. (he is called that by my hubby who is an avid Man U fan - not by me!)
I should imagine Mr Lampard to be a natural at dancing. He is of couse no stranger to waxing his chest and getting a tan! He is also obviously not averse to wearing bright colours - that yellow they wear defies explantion!
But seriously - football and dance have a lot in common - both need high levels of fitness and agility.
However, he will have to remember a “deflection” is a hip movement in indian dance and not a way of winning the game!!
Good luck Mr L.. I will be voting for you!

SCD Christmas Special DARREN ALL HAIL THE KING!!! Eh by gum, the gaffer’s dun good!! - or has he? Did I imagine it or did he drop the lovely Lilia on her bonce? …. isn’t “On me ‘ed” a football term? Sorry, but I just don’t get why people rate Darren so highly. I only reached for my 10 once tonight and it was not for the Dazzler. I expect I am in a minority, but it would be interesting to know what the outcome would have been had he:- a) not been the last person to danceb) didn’t bring his fan club to the filming c) strike lucky with an extremely popular professional. From the start I was annoyed with the old “I’m a bloke, this dancin’ lark isn’t me… I’m a bootstrap n’ braces Yorkshire lad born n bred in’t mines!! He is arrogant, smug, self important and so on………… Enough already!!! LETICIA – Nice. But instantly forgettable? I do have a soft spot for her though, she reminds me of myself if I was blonde, a good bit lighter and was able to dance! MARK –Why did you Jive, you gorgeous man!!! It was sloppy and messy, but also stiff and kind of random. I felt cheated. The AT is your winning dance – don’t you remember!!! (I remember every moment of it)…… I am choosing to believe that you were all told what you were to dance… ALESHA – Did you forget to get dressed dear? I have the exact same number in my wardrobe from a different lifetime… As for the dancing, I can only assume you were both just having a laugh and keeping your eye on the main comp – loved the piggyback though – good for you! MATT – I can’t even think about his dance knowing what I know about him now. Yes, Flavia and Vincent’s relationship may well have ended anyway – but that is for them to sort out and not for this forum. GETHIN - Beautiful. My winner – without question. I was enraptured. Not too keen on the song though… I wonder what the outcome would have been if Geth had done this waltz in the semi finals???? JUDGESLen – For god’s sake stop with the macho crapBruno – Stop copying that old fool next to youArlene – Abandon that appalling and abominable alliterationCraig – Keep up the good work The scoring was rubbish – far too high. I can remember when 3 8’s and a 9 was a good score. I wish the judges would remember that for a high score to mean something there has to be some lower ones! I pray for some impartiality and objectivity in the next series. I don’t want to hear “I just want sex”, “you come out, and dance like a bloke”, “I vote with my heart”… etc………… Constructive Criticism – bring it on in 2008 That’s all for now!

This is from another website - I don’t suppose they will mind! The cheek of her! The least she could do would be to keep her head down! (or keep out of Alesha’s life at least)
Singer Javine Hylton is backing Alesha Dixon to win this year’s Strictly Come Dancing.
Dixon lost her husband, MC Harvey, to Hylton last November, after the pair were revealed to be having an affair.
Hylton is now pregnant with Harvey’s child, but has said that she would like Dixon to be happy as well, and wants her to win the dance contest final at the weekend.
She told the Mirror: “Alesha is doing brilliantly and good on her.
“It might sound strange for me to say this but I genuinely want her to be happy and I really hope she wins.”
Talking about her affair, she said: “I’d do it all again. The only regret I have is the hurt I caused. But Harvey and I wouldn’t be together without hurting people.”
Hope Javine remembers the old saying “what goes around, comes around”

Sorry readers, but my ramblings are not going to be uplifting tonight! Tonights result was as expected, but I still feel saddened by what has happened.
It was always to be this way though. Firstly, think back to last night and Aleshas AT, what can you remember? I bet whatever it is is dressed in red? - but what about Matt and Gethin?? Did you look at them at all - or did your eyes keep drawing back to the ladies - I know mine did. In that dance particularly, Alesha was competing against Flavia and Camilla- not Matt and Gethin!! Secondly, Gethin’s Paso - the tune was just too fast and did not lend itself to any of the halts, poses and attitude that is needed in this dance. Gethin did nothing wrong, but was let down by the routine which the speed of the music dictated! Finally, Matt’s waltz. Yes, it was very nice - but it was no better or no worse than a lot of waltzes we have seen over the years and I personally feel it did not warrant 4 tens! I was very disappointed in Len and his one man standing ovation - Judges are meant to be impartial, Len. Sorry but that was anything but!!!! HOWEVER - a thought came to me last night when thinking about these 4 tens. I don’t normally believe in conspiracy theories but heres what I reckon…
The Judges want Alesha to win. It is quite plain that Gethin is getting the vast majority of the public vote (he must have, or he would have been in a dance off by now) Craig and the gang do NOT want to take the chance of having Alesha in a final with Gethin, in case everyone votes for Gethin to win?! They needed Gethin out of the way, and the best way to achieve this was to keep Matt out of the dance off this week - SIMPLE AS!
As for the rest of the show. Well, what can I say!
1) I really cannot abide baby ballroom kids - and this is speaking as a mother of a dancing child! This lot would put people off dancing. Bruce said “everyone’s started dancing” - not this lot! they are from dancing dynasties I reckon - why can’t the BBC go to a normal dance school and see how kids learn to dance.
2) Victor and Hannah - YUK - I like my dancers to dance - I thought I was watching Cirque Du Celeb on Sky, only for the fact it finished last week!! BUT I will forgive Hannah a lot, remember she had to put up with Chris Parker.
3) Lilia’s and Ola’s trousers. They looked like something a person might buy from the back pages of the News of the World!
AND THE WORST THING - To add some weight to the debate as to whether singers mime on SCD, the look on James Blunt’s face when he looked down at his guitar to see the plectrum stuck behind the strings, which would of course “mute” any noise coming out… yet there was noise?!? Miming on SCD, surely not?!
Thats all folks!
