...or for that matter to mention the spray tanning lady by name? They might just as well have shouted "Victoria! Victoria is the mole wot is doing for our Anton!"
Back to serious matters. Ricky Whittle and Natalie - snore snore. Please let me wake up and find they are interesting and that I can start appreciating the best couple in the competition for more reasons than that lovely sky blue shirt.
My sweet little Chris - now there is a man - he even managed to make a 14 hour day sound fun and compelling! The contrast between Ricky talking about his hectic schedule and Chris could not have been more marked if James Jordan himself had coshed the producer on the head and taken over.
What did I learn from the Friday panel? That Bonnie Tyler wasn't that great a guest? That Craig is better at commenting on fashion than dance? That Craig cannot disguise a grimace at the merest mention of Jo and Brendan? That the dress of the series, if not all of Strictly series put together, is about to go to waste?
I learnt very little actually so here are my predictions:-
VW - Phil could do a very nice job, especially as he has the best topline of the competition. Ricky's topline will not match his (and as he is the only other male celeb doing the VW, the contrast may be apparent). Ricky also needs to learn to pace himself: the VW is a marathon not a sprint. Jade and Ian are both aware that her sports training can be a disadvantage in the slower, more controlled dances. They are both working hard to counteract this, and they could turn in a very nice VW. Natalie's footwork is looking really rather good, so I am more hopeful for them than at the beginning of the week. I won't comment on Jo and Brendan.
Jive - car crash city.....honourable exceptions going to Chris and Ola, Ricky and Erin and Ali and Brian. Zoe could just pull it off, and if she does, she will be a real contender.
As for the voting - I think everyone is itching for the first big shock of the competition, and it is hard to predict how the public will go. Most people seem to love a jive, but are immune to the charms of the VW. If Craig is in the dance off, there will be one shock entrant with him; if he escapes, there could be two shock entrants. If Craig pulls it off, but Zoe falters, I am predicting a Zoe/Laila dance off.....and Laila to go home. If Craig falters again, I think it will be Craig/Laila and Laila gets to fight another day.
