It probably sounds a bit strange but I do not like musicals at all. I think there should either be acting or singing on stage, not both. Of course you could say the same about opera but the difference there is that I love the music so I can shut my eyes and simply listen. Whereas I don't really care for the music or the songs which feature in musicals.
It was also a bit strange when it came to the results. Rather predictably it was Mark Benton's turn to go. He has been excellent value and put a smile on my face every week. Maybe he was handicapped by a rather stupid lion costume. But although Abbey Clancey obtained a full house of 10s for her salsa, she faied to ignite the viewers because she is still languishing at 4th favourite 8/1. Maybe the viewers were as bored as I at the total lack of drama or storytelling. I thought 36 would have been more appropriate.
In spite of a dodgy quickstep Susanna Reid manages to be a close 2nd favourite at 3/1. Why she is such a viewers favourite I don't understand. Personally I've seen all I can stand of her 'mumsy' knees.
Natalie Gumede holds on to favouritism despite being clipped by the bookies down to 11/4. Her American smooth was supercharged with emotion, drama and storytelling although gaining a mere 36 pts from the judges. If I didn't have the horrible feeling that Natalie is being set up by the BBC to lose in favour of the ghastly Susanna, I would have a small punt on her as 11/4 is almost a value bet on a favourite at this stage.
The thing that made me laugh this week was this picture of Natalie which she tweeted herself, denying that the bulky dark patch over her right boob was an extra large nipple and stating that it was a mic pack. Sorry Natalie it looks like a pastie to me. Anyway although I have not got a decent pic of her this week, she wins my award for the best filled celebrity dress. The pic above may give you a clue why!

However, what did NOT make me laugh this week was an item in the Mail Online about Tess Daly in which she claimed that she had lactated during a live show and that only the fact that she was wearing a black dress saved her from embarrassment. As far as I'm concerned that falls into the category of way, way TOO much information. If she thought that the colour of her dress successfully hid the milky stain, then she could just have STFU about it and no one would have been the wiser. However I have bad news for her. If the event was during this series, then the black dress did not effectively hide the wet patch because I saw it and thought it was just a shadow from the stage lighting caused by a wrinkle in the material. Now I know better and I really wish I didn't.
In the article she was also complaining about the number of remarks she gets about her nose and her dress choices. Well I don't care about her nose - at least it has character. Nor do I really care about her dress style. I only wish she would keep those scrawny legs covered up. Not too much to ask surely?
