    I'm sure Jody's leg is doing things it hasn't done before as far as direction and range of movement is concerned.  That being the case it's almost inevitable that he will be getting pressure sores and rubbing on the stump.  I haven't watched this series yet but my missus says Craig in particular has been very hard on him.  I don't suppose he wants preferential treatment, but a bit of common decency wouldn't go amiss.

    Not surprised who went out 
    I think it’s going to interesting next week  , could be down to somebody messing it up

    It's a fleckerl @GWRS and requires specific footwork to do it on the spot.

    I liked Jody and thought he was very brave to have his chest waxed but his salsa was awful.   Whether it was from pain in his amputated leg or just a lack of training or understanding of the dance, his dance off was even worse than his dance.

    I see no reason for judges to be unkind.  They can and should criticise but it's better to offer carrots of encouragement and constructive comments than to demolish with plain negativity.   There's such a lot of technical stuff to learn as well as the routine and the performance that non dancers need help not demolition.

    I didn’t think Eddie was as bad as the judges scores suggested. I bet they’re all nervous for next week.
    Carmarthenshire (mild, wet, windy). Loam over shale, very slightly sloping, so free draining. Mildly acidic or neutral.

    I'm waiting for Angela Rippon to dance the jive that always sorts those with lots of energy out from us shall we say getting on a bit, I think that aunty beeb will want A.R. to get to Blackpool though so not expecting her to get the jive before then.

    I'm with you on that one @barry island - I think they are giving Angela Rippon dances more suited to her capabilities to keep her in the competition longer.

    Do you really thing the Beeb would be that devious and contriving?  Don't answer that. :D

    The Beeb’s job is to make good tv programmes … it’s a light entertainment programme  … not the Olympics 😊

    I was a little shocked to read that Rachel Riley said that strictly is fixed and the beeb knows who is going to win at the start, now whether she was joking or misquoted I don't know but A.R. getting to Blackpool where she used to present Come Dancing would be a bonus for them wouldn't it, lets wait and see if she does.
