Who watched The Eurovision Dance contest?

Who thinks Graham Norton is going to take over from Terry Wogan on the next Song Contest?

Who was shocked and awed by the amount of xenophobic comments coming from Len Goodman?

Who wasn't surprised that all the European countries voted for their friends?

Who was surprised that we didn't come last?

I loved Len and Craig. They were spectacularly rude about all the countries that didn't vote for us... *grins* And it was my boy Vincente dancing for us - so of course I agreed with them!!

And did you hear Craig being bitchy about one of the female dancer''s eyebrows being plucked to death? LOL. I almost fell in love with a gay man.

Hehe! I do love Craig. I thought Lex was a bit OTT. He's like the Jeremy Clarkson of ballroom dancing. LOL!

There's a song I love that mentions Terry Wogan. Can you tell me who he is?

That song reminds me of Lex and Clark in the middle. "I charm you and tell you, of the boys I hate, and the girls I hate, all the clothes I hate, how I'll never be anything I hate." (Lex).

"You smile, mention something that you like. And how you'd have a happy life, if you did the things you like." (Clark).

:D

Actually, wouldn't be a bit surprised if Graham Norton took over. I think he'd be good at it.

And where would Eurovision anything be without all the countries voting for their neighbours? That said, I didn't mind Poland winning, given that we were never going to.

I really liked Poland and would have voted for them if I could have been bothered to get up. LOL

God, I wanted to smack Len Goodman!

I can see Graham taking over the Song Contest commentary, but I was kind of hoping that Paddy O'Connell would get promoted from doing the semi final commentary - he can be hilariously snarky at times too.

I wasn't interested enough to bother voting, but Poland seemed like a decent enough winner.

Yeah, I didn't vote either but I thought Poland were good
