Out of the Glitterball: Your questions on It Takes Two
Do you have a burning question that you've always wanted to put to our celebs or pro dancers? Well now's your chance. It Takes Two has a new regular feature this year, "Out of the Glitterball" - and they're looking for YOUR questions. Leave them as a comment below, and you never know, it may end up being used in the programme!
P.S. - This is the second Out of the Glitterball blog - you can see all of the comments and questions on the first blog post (which was getting a bit unwieldy!) here.

My children are dismayed at their attitude and comments. Having it shown on the tv gives them the feeling that bullies can watch and see adults getting away with it and copy the insults at schools.

Created by the teenage dancers themselves each dance could last for up to 15 minutes. It was great way to get to know one's partner on a very crowded dance floor. The Ted Heath band made a record called The Creep. Today' s youth are missing a trick by not embracing ball room.
It would be good to see The Creep on Strictly
I would be wiling to teach it to the dancers though it is so simple it can be learnt in about 10 minutes . I enjoy Strictly a lot - didn't realise how much I enjoyed dancing especially the quick step & tango & The Creep.

It seemed to be a cross between foxtrot and waltz.

What the judges forget is that this is classed as an entertainment show and it is very entertaining at the moment. I hope Ann & Anto are still there at the very end. I am voting every week as that is what I call entertainment. Keep dancing ANN.

a) Determine exactly who the public like.
b) Ensure the public who pay for the priviledge of deciding who goes get their wish directly, rather than leave it to the judges who will select the best dancer.
Do I like the result the public vote throws up ? Not always. Did I think Chris Hollins was the best dancer last year - No. Did I find him more engaging and entertaining than anyone else - Yes.
What often happens is that a really poor dancer who is entertaining goes a long way with some better dancers, as this week, receiving a 'shock exit'. Eventually though the quality becomes too strong and if they are still so poor the publice do vote them out.
However, this is what makes the program so entertaining, the uproar, controversy etc - If each week the couples were eliminated on ability or performance on the Saturday then the show would be quite staid - who'd bother voting and who'd watch ?
The argument against this is it is a dancing contest and the best dancers should get their hands on the glitter ball and I do have sympathy for that argument but that would have meant Tom and Camilla not winning (apart from a hasty rule change they were out in the semi) and Chris and Olla would not have won last year. Would I swap their magnificent final dances which are still imprinted on my mind just to have the better dancers hold aloft the trophy - no.
If this was a professional dance contest of course my arguments would be all for the best winning but its an entertainment show which is very, very entertaining and a flagship show which the Ö÷²¥´óÐã should be proud of.
Just my 5 pennies :)
