Strictly.

I know Brucie is not very popular with some people so no comments. Just wondered why he is not there tonight.

[ethandron]

He's just having a week off.

[wendilla]

thanks. Don't seem the same without him.

[ethandron]

Oh I don't know, I rather like claudia doing her bit.

[weecalf]

Would for the sake of argument, that so call dancing programme have the most irritable panel of all time

[pugthedog]

is claudia the one under the fringe

[Caribeing]

Bruno over the top, a lot of messing about going on I know it is a lighthearted show but it needs to be serious as well, Claudias dress is like a baby doll pyjama top

[owdhamer]

He is sick, of strictly.

[pugthedog]

well done lisa keep it up

[Valmave]

Why on earth do they waste time giving out the phone numbers after each dance - and then say do not use them ! The numbers are given out at the end of the show which is when you would want them.

[DaisyNonna]

Cos wee is thik

[bundleone]

I love stricty but found Claudia very irritating.

[Zacs-Master]

Claudia is a bit 'marmite' isn't she. Personally I like her in small doses and I think she brought a breath of fresh air to the show.

[Robinia]

Bruce's having a rest week...it was much better with Claudia.

[ladybirder]

Well I never thought I'd miss him. But I did.

[johnny37]

With respect to Brucie, and I know he is a national treasure, but the amount of money he is paid is obscene for sixteen shows. A week off because he is tired?

[andy-hughes]

I understand the week's absence was booked in advance to take his (gorgeous!) wife on holiday to recuperate after an op.

[friedgreentomato]

I like Brucie but do think that Strictly was far better this week without him!

[factor-fiction]

mrs factor said it was announced the week before that he wouldn't be doing this week's show.
Claudia seems very comfortable sitting down and chatting to the dancers but looks and sounds a little uncomfortable standing up as a presenter

[legal girl]

I thought it was fab with Tess and Claudia. I don't usually like Tess much but she seemed much more relaxed without Bruce.
