Anyone else fancy adding their LIST...?  

I've got the week 4 dances & songs too which I'll post shortly  

Haha, you've saved me doing a list, I agree with yours.

I shall be scrutinising your posts from now on in just to check that you're not telling me fibbers!    Mind you, my opinions are quite likely to change as the series continute - and it will definitely be based on favouritism and total bias  

 As will mine!

My favourites, as in the ones I like, are Jay, Helen, and Anita (but I'm wavering on her) and my underdogs are Jeremy and Carol. 

WEEK 4 DANCES as follows:

But first, here's a photo of the judges just in case you want to give this post a swerve

Katie and Anton: Viennese Waltz, If I Can Dream by Elvis Presley

Kellie and Kevin: Foxtrot, Dream A Little Dream by Mama Cass

Ainsley and Natalie: Waltz, What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong

It's half of the fun, isn't it  

Definitely.

I agree with that ....even though I don't like a couple of the front runners ....resists adding a ringers categories  

You can add a 'ringahhhhhs' catagory if you want to, Baz  

You might have to also add a 'Dirty ringahhhhhs' one as well though....1 for those who've admitted their previous experiences, and 1 for those who'd never admit to even going to the school disco  

I clicked the link, but I'm no good with spoilers, so I'm slipping away from the thread quietly. 

I see EC's gone on his weekly posting bender.

The Claudia bit with Dr Gleb made me laugh  I love her. As Yogi says, she's just the right side of bonkers 

Can I put in an extra minus 

Jay for still being too darn smugly annoying  

You made a mistake so I changed it for you, Baz.

There is nothing cute about him  

 @ Yogi and Baz

I think we should mark the date and time of this epic moment of when The Cougars couldn't agree on who to cougar!    

It must make a nice change to have a victim  Strictly pro all to yourself  

No such luck ....she still wants Aliaz, Tristan and Pasha ,

I said 'all to yourself' Baz - not ALL of them to yourself..!  

Well she can have Gleb ....at the moment  

ROFL I'm not lusting after young Jay! My love of him is purely maternal and for his dancing abilities.

 And Gleb!

 I'll fight you for him, he's all mine.

Loving the ever expanding thread title.

  I know.

I wanted to reference Aimee and her special snooping powers....amongst other things    I'm still not happy with the bad punctuation but fear it'll be an edit too far if I change it.

Way I look at it we are posting on a forum, not writing an essay ....and if all else fails , blame predictive text ....works a treat for me  

blame predictive text

D'oh..!  I never thought of that
