*Strictly Come Dancing 2008*

This year's SCD phone votes doesn't go to Children In Need. It used to be 25p to vote with 10p going to CIN, but this year it only costs 15p

Yeah and they did it very discreetly I only found out it didn't go to Children in Need anymore this weekend. I'm sure the bbc keep some of the money.

It's insane isn't it ? I hope this all dies down by Saturday

Me too! It seems crazy! Just shows the John Sergeant thing was getting bigger than the programme - IMVHO of course... Let's get back to the dancing...

I thought so too....he just kept saying 'no, she's okay' but she was in tears. In the end Claudia lean't over and held her hand.

Blimey!!!! That's not nice...

I never watch this, might try and watch tonight

Same here, it's bathtime and I still I didn't see it tonight I feel fully "filled-in" though, so thanks girls don't like the sound of Sargents actions towards Kristina, didn't think he was that sort of chap, perhaps he's been "asked" to leave and is a bit peeved

 

[mandymouse]

Aww, poor Kristina

One of the earlier episodes had a segment about the wonderful friendships that develop between the dancers and their partners over the course of the competition. Joh said that she had become very dear to him. Odd that he would suddenly be so cold to her. Perhaps she has more to do with his decision to leave than we know?

Thanks for the info, we didn't know that. I guess it's one of the things you don't pick up on when you get the program over the Internet and not live. We also never get to see It Takes Two, is there a site that streams copies or clips from that show?

You can watch it on http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/ - they stay on this site for 7 days.

It takes two is on in the UK on BBC Two, Monday to Friday for 30 mins per episode (todays was an hour though because of the John situation) have fun watching. Claudia the presenter is funny....although I didn't warm to her at first a few years back but she is hilarious now.

Now that I've had the chance to actually see it for myself (thank you, natalie, for the great YouTube links) Kristina didn't reach out to John, Claudia tried to create a moment. John doesn't seem the type to fall for managed moments, he's been around too long. If you watch the YouTube part 3 it replays
some of the bits I mentioned in an earlier post that shows how close they've become, he didn't have to hug her on national television just to satisfy Claudia.
