Strictly come dancing 2018

[ruthlessimon]

Obv only works with a live vote, Strictly result is known at about 10pm on Saturday night.

Yah final only.

Defo got the Voice winner (cos my family backed Donel; then I roll in & tell em they're all wrong - which they still remember ), & pretty sure the other one was SCD 2017

[Dallas]

I watch it every week and not missed an episode since around 2007

My family think I'm this psychic - whenever there's a final vote I'll pop in 5mins early & tell em who's gonna win. There's just enough gap between the market getting suspended & TV delay

They were super impressed when I got the Voice winner right!

I've not actually bothered with trading the Specials for a few years now except for CBB which I still dabble in every now and then or should I say did!

I've traded special markets less in recent years, but always have fun at Eurovision.

I've become interested in this market based upon the unfolding situation with Walsh. You wouldn't think he would be getting any votes from women on the next round.

You'd be suprised. On the daytime TV I've seen opinion is divided with lots saying it's no big deal. Not all women are uptight and unrealistic about how life is. Statistically women are more unfaithful than men too, but bloke culture creates an impression that they're all prudish and frail.

who thinks seann and katya will be leaving now, not me after bbc swept it under the carpet.
I think katie piper will be the one to go. her jive was bad.

[spreadbetting]

They film the knock out on Saturday night so the result is already known, I won't spoil it by posting as it'd ruin Shaun's week.

[ShaunWhite]

The result is on the net from about 10pm on Saturday, I'm savvy about avoiding spoilers sb, esp opening a SCD thread on a Sunday afternoon!

I knew you'd know a good jive from a bad one Memphis I thought she was doing keepy-uppys.

'dance of shame' Right result, he danced well and didn't deserve to go, hope the BBC aren't fixing the show again haha!

I did read somewhere this morning the viewing figs where over 11m for Saturday, I'm not sure what they normally are but expect thats well up compared to regular weeks

[JTEDL]

Yeah saw that, I am sure the TV companies love stuff like last week, as increases viewing figures.

I've just checked and according to Wiki they seem to sit between 9m-12m with a series averaging around 11mill so guess this weekends weren't that unusual

Was always going to be the best dancer but suffers from the curse of people assuming she had a head start. Polls don't look good. Digitalspy, tellymix etc.

yet weirdly, yesterday she was on 10 odds (i backed a conservative £10 ) and is now low 9's. but i get what you're saying about the judgement that she's got a head start.

I've moved the chat here Jim...

I think there's a small risk that Stacey might end up in the bottom 2 (4th best & complacent voters), and if that's with Charles on a week that suits him, there could be a shock. The SCD is a strange phone-in because it's so short, are Joe's fans the type that watch live tv? Put those together and Ashley is probably about right at 9 I think. She was 2nd in IAC too so she's proved herself to be likeable. It's been a bit of a suprise to me that Faye has been so long.

Purely anicdotally from relatives etc they're all about Stacey. Her ace up the sleeve is Kevin, he's 2nd most popular after Anton and lots of people vote for the pro and not the celeb. Diane is new and won't have that support.
