Those are just a few I can think of.

Like I said if people hate dance experience ,then the competition would be full of Anne widdecombs & ed Balls .

It's impossible for strictly not to have contestants with some advantages in dance .

It's funny how nobody minds dancing on ice ,which I always found unfair when not everyone has ever set foot on the ice , Clearly some people have dabbled in ice skating though so will have an advantage.

Maybe BBC should axe strictly,seen as there's too much media bs & people get their knickers in a twist every year over "dance experience".

People seemed fine with the sister show 'strictly dance fever ' , as that was always clear about the contestants all being dancers . Difference being they were non celebrity.

The true amateurs to win Strictly were the cricketers Darren Gough and Mark Ramprakash. When a hard ball is being bowled at your head at 90 mph you have to have natural dancing feet.

Strictly is soft as ****e now - the next stage in reducing credibility will be giving everyone 2 X couples choice dances to wave arms and legs around and not make the celebs do anything too difficult like the nasty Foxtrot or Waltz.
