i can just imagine strictly panicking that they don't have anyone to read the t&cs this week and tess just ringing up her husband to jump in

[99fandomsandmarvelisone]

So strictly rant time is back which is a shame because I've really been enjoying this series.

I don't know what was up with the scoring this week? Molly and Carlos' Argentine Tango was brilliant and I don't know why Anton and Craig didn't score it higher. On the other hand I didn't rate Tyler and Diane's Cha Cha, I thought his hips looked stiff through it.

The other thing is the disrespect to Craig is back too - it's a lot better than last series and the judges don't seem to be encouraging it now more joking with him. I noticed it most with Ellie and Nikita - Halloween is great because everyone goes for the characterisation - their dance was more character than content so I expected it when Craig said that to them. For her to go "I'm not listening, I'm not listening" was childish and rude, Tess shouldn't have told her to cover her ears but that wasn't right. Shirley said a lot of the same things he did and Ellie (and Tess) didn't say or do anything like that to her.

Contestants need to be able to take criticism from all of the judges not just the ones they like. I think sometimes people forget that Craig isn't actually evil and does want the best for and from the contestants. That's why I loved when Michelle Visage was on because she plays the same part as him on Drag Race so understood where he was coming from.

“Princess Kate makes secret visit to Strictly Come Dancing studios – and took Charlotte and Louis”

The Princess of Wales watched Strictly stars rehearse yesterday on a secret studio visit — before her children got the chance to be judges.

Kate took her two youngest, Princess Charlotte, eight, and Prince Louis, five, along with her.

They were allowed to sit in the judges’ chairs and deliver verdicts with scoring paddles for dancers Katya Jones and Neil Jones.

Kate, 41, and the youngsters were then introduced to presenters Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman, and got to meet pros including Dianne Buswell and Nadiya Bychkova.

During their two-hour visit, they were shown the costume department, where Louis tried on a small gold crown, and stood on the balcony where the contestants gather above the dance floor at BBC’s Elstree studios.

A source said: “Kate and Charlotte are huge fans of Strictly so they were delighted to be invited.

“Kate took pictures of the children in the judges’ seats. She seemed really relaxed and was all smiles. She was polite, sweet and charming with everyone and made sure Louis didn’t get over-excited.”

"There was a strict security lockdown on set and staff were told not to take any photos.

“The children were especially excited and got dressed up.

"They were thrilled to be on set and to meet their favourite celebrities.”

King Charles, 75, and Queen Camilla, 76, are also big fans, as was the late Queen.

Still not over Will & Nancy.

I think what makes Nancy so lovely is that unlike the other female pros she doesn’t make ‘I’m so sexy’ faces at the camera. Instead, she’s busy expressing joy, and responding to and connecting with her partner.

The final really needed them. I needed them!
