What just happened at the end of Strictly Come Dancing? Did the graphics or voice over give the wrong phone number(s)?

I noticed that glitch with the aston towards the end of the recap. The dance ball had "Name & Other" on it. I suppose that must have been a generic template, and they would put in the relevant celebrity name e.g. Matt, and partner name, e.g. Flavia.


Interesting. Does anyone have a cap of this?

As we all know, since this years Celebrity Big Brother, all reality shows must have a claim of racism (or homophobia - see Hell's Kitchen). It turns out people even look for racism in the most multicultural reality show of them all, Strictly Come Dancing.

Quick poll, which of these quotes do you find [most] offensive?

"It was like the pole and the Pole dancer dancing around him. It was like Poles from Poland. There was nothing there - Kenny barely moved."

"The dragon better not have booked a holiday to Poland in the near future."

The judges comment is here (at around 3:30)

Re the YouTube clip don't you think it's a bit unfair putting up the clip with Bruno's face on it, implying he was the one to make the remark? That's certainly the impression I got when I first saw it on the thread. I know that's how Youtube works and it's not your fault but just a thought? Confused Maybe a usual link would have been better.

Yes, I see your point. I have changed the image now.

Sadly, there probably are people who would see that YouTube image and then make assumptions based on what they want to believe without reading/viewing any further.

I believe the tabloid newspaper industry relies on these kind of people.

Smile Didn't mean to sound ratty or anything - was more aimed at youtube for selecting a picture halfway through clips to put up as a preview. Sorry if I sounded anything but.

This evening I finally got round to watching my video recording of last Sunday evening's Strictly Come Dancing.

Letitia & Darren and Kenny & Ola were in the dance-off. I'd have thought Kenny & Ola would have made it through, as I thought they were a bit more elegant and graceful in the dance off. Still they're out now, and Letitia & Darren are through tomorrow night's quarter-final.

The complete line-up for tomorrow is:

Gethin & Camilla
Alesha & Matthew
Matt & Flavia
Letitia & Darren

Who'll be next to go. Bet it'll be Letitia & Darren, the other three couples are definitely the high flyers who'll go into the semi-final. Difficult to say which of those three should make it to the final.
