Does anyone watch DWTS over there in the UK? Your version.

I can't easily find the celeb list anywhere on Google (most all pertain to the American version). Who are the celebs that are performing?

What is your feedback on the show?

It's a major hitter for the BBC here (goes head to head with X Factor and wins more viewers in the UK.) There's been a few pre series issues this year one of the regular professionals was sacked and went on a mud slinging spree. It has also been reported that the judges have been told to stick to comments about performances and to cut out the personal criticisms as many of the first choice celebs refused to do the show this series.

All that said it looks like being the best series so far. A couple of the male celebs are very good (for a change) and the girls all seem good.

If you want to keep up with the show here's a link to official website

Well with the injury list rising (Andrew Castle & Ola Jordon both have broken toes and Jodie Kidd has a broken rib, Austen Healey's lack of knee cartiledge), the number of people threatening not to return next year (Arlene, Len, Brucie, Karen Hardy and Anton) plus claims that the viewers are racist because Don and Heather were in a Dance off desite being higher in the table than John and Mark will SCD be back for the 2009 season?

Well the question is now emerging is this a dance competition or an entertainment show?

This year the show is not being done for charity (although they have kept the premium rate phone lines!) and we've got to the point where good dancers are being voted off to keep the hopeless but popular celebrity in.

The Judges are in open revolt the public are railing against being told who to vote for.

My question is will this put the whole future of the show in danger. Will the judges and the pro dancers be keen to do another sries?

Christine has left to be honest the four who are left are amongst the best the show has ever produced. The question is what happens now? Lisa and Rachel are clearly the Judges favourites but have little support in the public vote. Tom and Austin are not protected by the Judges in the same way but must have considerable public votes. My prediction is this

Rachel engineered to the top of the Judges vote Lisa and Tom in the dance off, Tom leaves.

Any other offerings

Sounds like a pretty intense heat now!

The USA version ended 2 weeks ago, and Brooke Burke won the title.

I was actually hoping for Lance/Lacey, but that's just me *shrugs*

Well I was nearly correct, the judges did manipulate the scores so that Austin left.
I have nothing against Lisa she is a good dancer trouble is she has no entertainment value.

I'd make John Sergeant look like Fred Astaire!

No Jezer you'd be more like Dick Van Dyke in the Toy Dance from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Back on topic though I do feel cheated that we won't get to see Austin's Argentine Tango he'd be very very entertaining.

As for the final it's a none event now. If it isn't manufactured to exclude Tom then he has the public support to easily win. At least Tom versus Austin would have been a close call!
