30.11.13 Strictly Annoying

Twats

So, Patrick danced well and got 3x10 and an 8 from Craig (who should have given a 9, even allowing for Craig's stinginess).  So, instead of 39 points, Patrick scored 38.

Natalie danced very well, and was super, although I'd no idea during the dance which one she was actually doing.  This was apparently a view endorsed when Len commented, and later gave a score of 8.  The sore of 8 was described by Tess Daly as "controversial" yet she'd not said that about Craig's stinginess with Patrick?  36 points will see her okay.

How the fuck did Craig justify a 7 for Mark Benton, who embarrassed himself and the whole of the animal kingdom with his Simba doing a Samba.  29 points was overly generous, but Iveta is a welcome vision for any male, or lesbian. Time to go home, Mark, and meanwhile I will try to work out Craig's basis for awarding marks - I'll be here till I die!  Please. please let him go home tonight - he's been moaning about his knees this week and suggesting he has had enough.  This is not a magnanimous approach, but a realisation on his part that whatever he says (or does) he MUST be ejected.

Sophie is the quirkiest and loveliest competitor ever, who has a sense of style that just works.  4x9 was a perfect view on a lovely dance.  At last some agreement between the judges and a fair result.

Bruce made a useless joke about "Stayin' Alive" and I rather wished he would fail on that score as well as on the general ability to entertain.  Abbey was up next with a Salsa - fucking amazing!  After the dance, Bruno siad he couldn't tell the difference between Abbey and the two professional dancers each side of Abbey. Bruce asked Craig if he could tell the difference, and he said "yes - she was better".  40 was so deserved!

Ashley danced with Ola and rolled her buttocks in his hands rather well (yes, I am jealous).  An 8 and 3x9 meant 35 points was very fair.

Susanna Reid is somehow annoying.  She danced something-or-other that was not particularly entertaining but apparently okay.  33 points will mean second from bottom, though.
