But the thing is, it doesn't actually matter. If Alesha gave 9, 8, 7, 6 instead of 10, 9, 8 7, it would have exactly the same effect on the leader-board.

And after she'd already given Chris a 9, it's not fair to a better dance if it can't be given a 10.

IMO, SCD ought to do something about this 10 problem. Either make it clear to viewers that 10 does not mean perfect in SCD, or else make it clear to the judges that they have to stop giving them out.

I think we're all fairly in agreement on the whole question of the marking system.

It's been a strange week - with very little real news on the A&B front, which is unusual. Even ITT seem to be marking time tonight with the Tess interview. Here's hoping for something interesting on tomorrow's show. Wonder how Ali's foot is.

Patchbuncle · 01-12-2009, 21:44

By the sound of it Thursday's ITT will be a bit odd as well. If I remember correctly both Cola and Laila and Anton are on tomorrow, Ali and Brian are in on Friday there so won't be a couple in the studio on Thursday.

Hopefully they will have plenty of time for training updates!

I got the feeling that ITT has taken a different approach this week and is being a lot more guarded about what is going on in training, secretive even. Perhaps that is to hype up the competitive element now that the stakes are higher.

Sorry to change the subject slightly....but I felt the need to share this!!

You know you're a fan of Brian and Ali when
a) What about now by Westlife comes on the radio, and you find yourself saying out loud "Aww, it's Brian and Ali's song!"

b) You get prompted to change your password at work, and the first thing that springs to mind is Team Awesome related

Help!! please tell me I'm not the only one that suffers moments like this!

No its not just you

There was a clip of Westlife on during the ad break of I'm a Celebrity last night and i immediately thought it was Ali and Brians song lol

Haven't done the password thing yet but then again i haven't needed a password. I know i was having a really hard day at work today and kept thinking about them to cheer myself up

Definitely because of your beautiful video Emma

alexgr · Yesterday, 01:11

More pics of Ali and Brian together - no other dance partnerships, other than Joe and Kristina, are spotted out as much as Ali/Brian.

Monkseal's latest blog is very funny about Ali and Brian.

I had never heard of Monkseal's blog before, but after reading this thought I would have a google and see what I could find. I'm not even up to Cola's first dance yet and I've lost count of the number of times I've laughed out loud! Thanks for the tip alex!!

*Goes back to reading*

I love Monkseal's blog! He is hilarious without being offensive, even his vampire jokes about Brian are good-natured.

alexgr · Yesterday, 01:53

Loving a couple of the pics of them on that blog as well!

It's not just you

I have downloaded the songs "What about now" and "Can I have this Dance" (both the tunes just stick in my head following the fantastic videos from Emma) to my phone and can be frequently spotted on the train to and from work listening to these tunes (on repeat!!).

Have also added awesome to my vocabulary over the last couple of weeks

fifi73 · Yesterday, 14:54

Thanks for all the links to pictures from last night

Lemming07 · Yesterday, 15:43

Hey every1, this is a bit random but it seems like all the couples are getting slated at the minute, just seen a thread slating chris, eventhouh i like chris its kinda reassuring that its not just Ali and Brian getting all the hate.

Totally agree with every1 about the what about now song, ive seen that vid so many times i can actually picture the scenes in my head with the music as im driving.

wliag43 · Yesterday, 18:32

From Brian on Twitter

Ali & I are on #ITT on Thursday instead of Friday.

Ali & me are doing well with our dances this week. Wanted to thank you again for your incredible support - means the world to us. x #scd

emmabtvs · Yesterday, 18:34

Thank you guys, you have encouraged me to make a video tonight!!! Not giving away the song but i guarantee it will be an ali /brian song for the future

Veri · Yesterday, 18:48

Ali is getting by far the worst comments from James in tonight's ITT training segment.

alexgr · Yesterday, 18:53

I'd argue that Team Cola got worse comments from James.
