Strictly Poor Anton!

[Caribeing]

Tonight’s opening of Strictly was brilliant costumes setting dancing etc everyone give their utmost but feel sorry for Anton think he’s going to have an early exit!

uh oh! NOT the sort of publicity Strictly want.

no wonder he exits early usually.

I put the blame for the performance squarely on Anton. It seems to me his heart hasn't been in it for years, he's just there for the money.

A good choreographer makes the best of their partners abilities whereas Anton seems hell bent on making their routine a joke. From the start of the series he has made 'jokes' that put down Susan's dance abilities and his chance of winning.

He wants an early exit so he can spend more time doing other things whilst raking in the benefits of the show such as money and publicity.

I really dislike him and he will never be judge - he's loose tongue has got him in to trouble before on the show and he can't be trusted to say the right things.

I like Anton, he's always been the one who draws the short straw, not his doing, I think they have earmarked him for that over the years. I wish he had replaced Len on the panel though, I can't stand that Shirley Ballas she thinks she really is summat. OH commentedmlast night she had had a face job since she was last on, but who knows, who cares....just think it's all getting out of hand. The hysteria of the audience too, I think they would go mad with their applause even if someone broke ruddy wind nowadays ...ahem.

Dunnitall I agree with you about the hysteria of the audience. It's ridiculous. Haven't watched any of it yet but if it's as bad as it was last year I might not watch it at all.

Wasn't going to watch it because my favourite Brendan has gone, but got drawn in, as usual! Thought there were some extremely good dancers, particularly liked Jo Sugg's jive. I love the glitz and the glamour of this show. Can't stand Shirley Ballas and mute it when she's on! I actually love the audience participation and all the cheering, it's all part of the excitement of the show for me.
