Strictly come time wasting!


I accidentally saw some of BBC's strictly come dancing, (or strictly come time wasting as I call it) last night.  After being violently sick for several minutes I got to thinking about the title, how can it be "strictly come dancing?".
Come dancing was a proper dance program with proper dancers, the utter garbage now masquerading as strictly come dancing, is neither of these, it's pseudo-celebrity shambles. First off three quarters of the program isn't actually dancing, it's talking to anybody who'll stand still long enough and showing what the so called celebs did yesterday, so not strictly dancing then!  Secondly about half the contestants seem to be there for light relief, theres more chance of my keyboard winning a dance competition than some of these!.
I mean come on it's called strictly come bloody dancing, so at least find people who can dance or have a fighting chance of learning to dance.  Don't these people realise they are making themselves look bloody silly on national television.... Or is it that they are so far down the celebrity food chain that any exposure is better than none?  Imagine the next casting session...  "What did you last do?"  "Oh I was the left footed twit who kept falling over on strictly come dancing"   "Next please!"  Yeah thats going to help your career then.
The funniest part is Strictly and the X factor have a huge rivalry, each accusing the other of trying to upstage and steal viewers.  Why?  Both shows are a total joke, strictly come dancing has bugger all dancing in it and the X factor insists of having an act with no talent (the standard joke act) who is kept in till the final, the joke act shouldn't get past the first auditions never mind getting in front of the panel.
Scrap them both and put something decent on... If you can remember what entertainment is.

Oh yeah a note to the BBC.   Halloween is on the 31 of October (every year), Strictly Halloween special was on the 1st on November so not Halloween then morons!   What next the Christmas queens speech in July?  And while I'm at it, why is Top gears Christmas special in bloody Easter?  Nip out and buy a bloody calendar.
