323 days and counting.....
Heaven forfend that this blog should become a running commentary on Strictly Come Dancing but Spanglepuss has indicated to me that I should comment on the furore that seems to have been generated by the result last weekend.
For those of you with better things to do (i.e. everyone but me - well, actually I do have better things to do but it's a good displacement activity) what happened on the last round of Strictly Come Dancing is that two good dancers got the lowest score overall and one of the likely prospects to win (Gaby Logan) got voted out.
(Oh, and one of the other dancing couples performed one lift more than they were allowed and got top marks. This is apparently a crime on a par with genocide if you're a ballroom dancer).
Some people seem shocked by this. Other people think that it is a tragedy.
I think that it's great simply because it shows that no matter how weighted the contest has become in favour of a particular outcome the great British public can always do something completely random.
This is a good thing, people!
All in all it's probably not surprising that two tall, thin, attractive blonde women didn't attract many public votes from a largely female audience. I leave you to decide why this might be and it will be interesting to see how the other good dancer who obviously had little public support last week - Penny "What first attracted you to millionaire Rod Stewart?" Lancaster Stewart - does from now on.
Blessed are the Geek!

Thanks, Geek. You've clarified a highly confusing, if ultimately entertaining, issue nicely. Hurrah for displacement activities. Any bets on who's next out of X Factor? Or does that slide ickily beneath the Geek's high standards of reality TV?
