Originally Posted By Rsey103 That was my criticism as well. When I would see clips of it I didn't know which was the "star" and which was the dance partner. My actually liking the show is a surprise to me . . .

Plus the Americans who vote seem to mostly keep the good acts in while kicking out the worst couples. Unlike Strictly.

Originally Posted By Malin *** I agree James, although I like both programmes, the US version is far more slick, with a better orchestra and Derek is one of the best dancers in the world (and the US version has hotter females) *** I absolutely agree about them having hotter females. But where is Chelsie Hightower this season? I also like Strictly but don't love it. I feel Sir Bruce as much as I respect the guy and his career. He really does slow the pace of the show down. I also don't think Alesha Dixon really adds much to the judging panal and scores to high in most cases. Still its great Sat night tv.

Originally Posted By Malin Compared to last years X Factor. I absolutely love this years show. May be I am slightly bias towards my views on Gary Barlow after seeing him perform live at Hyde Park last month. But I also enjoy Kelly Rowland and Tulisa to Cheryl Cole and Dannii Minogue on the judging panal. Pop Idol is something I have never really been into but I do watch US X Factor. But don't really feel its better to the UK show at the moment, except for a greater over 30's category. Some great talent. In regards to other imported shows. I happen to be a massive Masterchef fan. And I have watched several versions of the format. For me none of them can match the Australian version.
Originally Posted By Tinkeroon Yeah, as much fun as Carson was, he did deserve to be booted. There are still a few who you KNOW aren't going to be in the final standings, but they're taking it a little more seriously, and really giving it their all. Personally I'm rooting for JR at this point. That man can MOVE! But Ricki is great also. And I agree with you Malin...Derek is a phenomenal dancer!

Originally Posted By chickapin ^^^ain't that the truth! What about Maks and his comments? He may have crossed the line, but I think he has a real point. Derek and Mark are fabulous choreographers and they always get a partner who can be a real contender. Why do neither of them get Kirstie Alley or Kate Gosselin? The playing field doesn't seem entirely level.
