Strictly Come Dancing - Week Ten: The Results

So time for the results and in the bottom two this week were:

Strictly Come Dancing - Week Ten

 

Another brilliant night from the Strictly team. Movie Night was upon us and we got our first 40!!! 

Metro Radio Live!

So, like I mentioned yesterday, SaMeesh were lucky enough to attend a celebration of pour 15 years of our local radio station, Metro Radio! It was such a great night. The energy of the audience was electric and the acts were amazing (most of them)!

Strictly Come Dancing - Alesha Dixon Admits To Over-Marking

Strictly Come Dancing judge Alesha Dixon, who took part in the show 2 years ago and won, has admitted she over-marks the contestants.

Strictly Come Dancing - Week Nine: The Results

So time for the results.

Strictly Come Dancing - Week Nine

So were back from Blackpool and we've left Felicity behind. Nevermind yeah? Moving on to tonight's show. It was good, but not great.

Ratings Roundup

We all watch TV, but sometimes it surprises me how many people watch the same shows!

On Saturday 13.21 million of us sat and watched The X Factor, down about 200,000.
On Sunday a colossal 15.25 million watched Paije be eliminated from the competition. It peaked at 16.42 million!

Over on Strictly, 11.35 million watch the celebrities dance at Blackpool and had a peak with a massive 13.21 million.
On the results show, 11.07 million watched Felicity Kendall be voted out the competition. 






Over in Soapland, Coronation Street and Eastenders usually battle it out for the top, while Emmerdale slightly lags behind, followed by Neighbours and Hollyoaks.


On Thursday night, Emmerdale's 1 hour long show was watched by 7.5 million people. While at the same time just 5.8 million watched Eastenders. Brings a smile to my face. Jack Duckworth's funeral on Corrie gained 9.1 million viewers.


My question is, why do we all watch the same thing? I watch all of those shows said above minus Eastenders. Why do the British Public watch the same thing? Why do you watch them? What do you like best?

Strictly Come Dancing - Week Eight (Blackpool!): The Results

So it's time for the results and in the bottom two are:

Felicity and Vincent

Patsy and Robin

And the couple eliminated was:

Yes Felicity and Vincent have been booted out. It's sad but it was going to happen sooner or later so let's not waste time mourning. Let's spend time ranting how Ann and Anton are still in this DANCE competition! How? She got 13 points. 13 POINTS. Ridiculous.

What do you think about tonight's results?

Strictly Come Dancing - Week Eight (Blackpool!)

This week the show has moved to the home of Ballroom, Blackpool! It's always a good show here and this year was no different! Here's the opening of the show which was brilliant!

Let's take a look at the Blackpool leader-board:

Matt Baker & Aliona Vilani – 38
Pamela Stephenson & James Jordan – 37
Kara Tointon & Artem Chigvintsev – 35
Scott Maslen & Natalie Lowe – 32
Felicity Kendal & Vincent Simone - 30
Patsy Kensit & Robin Windsor – 28
Gavin Henson & Katya Virshilas 27
Ann Widdecombe & Anton Du Beke – 13

Matt Baker finally got a 10! And not just one but 2! And well deserved they were. He was terrific. Scott Malsen took another tumble but not has dramatic as his last one. Pamela Stephenson climbing back towards the top where she belongs after an amazing performance which you'll see further down! Dear, oh dear. Ann Widdecombe. 13 points. 1 from Craig Revel Horwood. Does this not tell you something love? GO AWAY. 


Time to look at the best and worst dances:


Best:





Matt is one of this year's celebrities who is constantly good and usually within in the top 4. While some of his previous dances should have gained him a 10, they didn't until now! It was well deserved because this was a great dance!






Yaaay. Pamela is back! This was fantastic! More 10's well deserved. Great acting here between herself and James Jordan. I love their partnership. Great job Pamela.





Kara caused her partner Artem a serious injury in the rehearsal and they come out with this? Wow! He looked in a great deal of pain in the VT before they danced so god know what was going through his head when they were doing it.  This was brilliant by the way. I really like Kara. I didn't at first but now I do. I also heard Artem is 42? True or false? Great job guys!




Worst:




"Overwhelmingly Awful" - Craig Revel Horwood.


So what did you think of Blackpool's show? Who will go tonight?


Make sure you watch the results show tonight and check back here afterwards for my thoughts!

Children In Need 2010

So Children In Need is over for another year and we're going to take a look at the Best Bits from the night.

I have to say first of all congratulations on raising over £18million on the night! Amazing stuff! You can still donate by calling 03457 22 33 22! 

Let's discuss this for a moment. I previously mentioned they were crossing over. But I never dreamed it would be this good! So many fantastic things happened! Standout scenes for me were Kat and Liz in the Queen Vic and Ellien and Zainab with the Tram comment and Gail and Dawn in the cafe comparing their murderous husbands! What a crease! This was sheer genius and should be made an annual thing with all the soaps. Fantastic stuff.

The newsreaders performance is something to look forward to every year. And this year they went GaGa with a little help from Louie Spence. They are great! I really loved it this year. Well done!

Strictly took part in this years telethon pitting The Saturdays Rochelle Wiseman against McFly's Harry Judd! Both were very good with only having less than 10 hours training. 










Loose Women took to the stage to sing "The Promise" by Girls Aloud. They did a really good job! Not bad singers... most of them anyway! 







And finally. A preview for Dr Who's Christmas special.


Looks good don't it?


So those were my favourite bits from this years Children In Need. What did you make of the event? Did you donate? 

Rachel Stevens Gives Birth

Former S Club 7 member Rachel Stevens has given birth to a baby girl!

The singer, who took part in Strictly Come Dancing and husband Alex Bourne welcomed their daughter, Amelie in the early hours of Tuesday morning. Both mother and baby are doing well.

Congratulations! So much for pop comeback love! Maybe in another few years?

Strictly Come Dancing - Week Seven: The Results

Time for the results show. In the bottom two were:

Michelle and Brendan

Felicity and Vincent

And the person who left was:

Yeah, Michelle and Brendan have finally left the competition after being in the bottom 2, 4 times! I suppose it was time really.


What do you think of them leaving? 

Strictly Come Dancing - Week Seven

What A Show! To be fair I did miss the first 2 dances as I was still watching the first Harry Potter as part of my marathon before the beginning of the end and I'm rambling now. I'll stop. Back to Strictly, yes it was a fantastic show and some great dances!

Let's take a look at this week's leader-board:

Scott Maslen & Natalie Lowe – 39

Kara Tointon & Artem Chigvintsev – 38

Matt Baker & Aliona Vilani – 35

Gavin Henson & Katya Virshilas - 33

Patsy Kensit & Robin Windsor – 32

Pamela Stephenson & James Jordan – 32

Felicity Kendal & Vincent Simone – 26

Michelle Williams & Brendan Cole - 24
Ann Widdecombe & Anton Du Beke - 20

Ssssssscott is back on top! After an amazing performance, Scott Malsen has reclaimed the top position after a disastrous week last week. Kara, who also performed brilliantly took second place. Gavin Henson is the surprise of the week, scoring an impressive 33! Maybe it was his wooing of one particular judge as you'll see later. Ann, again takes bottom place but she's not that far away from Michelle Williams so it's an improvement!

Let's take a look at my best and worst dances:

Best:

(Scott, Kara and Gavin)

For him to come out with this after a terrible week last time, it's amazing. He's such a fantastic dancer and Natalie Lowe is a great teacher! Dance of the series so far!

Kara was been constantly good these past few weeks and this is no different. Brilliant stuff!





And here is the wooing of the judge I mentioned earlier! While, Gavin still made alot of mistakes and his timing was out, this was really good. Very enjoyable. Over-marked but enjoyable. 

Worst:

This was awful to watch. So awaked and just not good. You may be danger Felicity. 

Seriously, time to jog off Ann. You've been funny but come on. Get out now.

So who will make it through to next week and get to perform at the home of the Ballroom, Blackpool?

Make sure you watch the results show tomorrow at 7:30 on BBC1!
