And another thing ...

Who else doesn't give a damn about the whole Arlene/Alesha business? The BBC Controller's reasoning sounded good to me - Craig the nasty one, Bruno the joker, Len the ..., well, Len - Arlene was the one to go. And all those people now saying how wonderful and fair she was seem to have completely forgotten the 'Dancing Pig' comments and such like. She was out of order on a number of occassions last series, so I'm really not bothered. Ageist? Sexist? Whatever, I'm a woman and frankly, my favourite shows all seem to have those accusations levelled at them - Have I Got News For You, Top Gear - maybe I can just take a joke? Or maybe I was a bloke in a former life. Anyhoo - the judging panel could be made up of Goldilocks and The Three Bears for all I care. Fact is, regardless of who's judging, the public will still vote for who they like best and the nastier the judges are to the worst dancer, the longer they'll stay in the competition. I've read a line about "changes to the way the votes are allocated" which worries me somewhat, so I'll be checking that out. You may or may not know, I've been on me hols and have been cut off from civilisation for best part of this week, so I need to investigate!
