X Factor 2008 - Week 4 - Diana Vickers 7/4 Favourite to win 2008-10-28 09:22:01 Big Band week on the X Factor was perhaps going to be a week when favourite, Diana
Vickers, was going to struggle to match the style of the genre to her voice.Think again,Smile was a fantastic song choice for her. One of the more gentler of the Big Band style numbers, this slower tempo song was one she could really get hold of.Another great performance saw her favouritism in the betting market str Read more:Favourite
X Factor - Week 4 - Who will Win? 2008-10-28 04:58:35 This years X Factor competition broadcast on ITV, so far, has been one of the best ever.

BBC Strictly Come Dancing - Week 7 - John Sergeant, Captain Invincible? 2008-10-28 01:50:06 What can one say about Mr John Sergeant
in Strictly Come Dancing
?By dance ability alone, he should have been voted out the competition long ago. But, this competition oddly isn't just about dance ability, it's about entertaining the viewing public.

BBC Strictly Come Dancing - Week 7 - Support for Cherie 2008-10-27 14:18:12 Cherie Lunghi has suddenly overtaken singer, Rachel Stevens in the betting market and now is favourite of the Ladies to win.This is somewhat of a surprise. It follows a week where her Paso Doble didn't go entirely to plan. A slip-up at the beginning of the dance seemed to destabilize her, and from there on, she was just going through the moves and not really living this passionate dance. Her natur Read more:Cherie

Tennis or more accurately, Mark Foster
verses AndrewCastle

BBC Strictly Come Dancing - Week 6, Mark Foster Out 2008-10-26 15:15:40 Swimmer, Mark Foster
, has become the sixth celebrity to be voted out of Strictly Come Dancing

UEFA CUP 2008 - Udinese 2 - 0 Tottenham 2008-10-24 03:52:16 Tottenham Hotspur were not favourites to win away to Italian Club Udinese in their opening UEFA cup game, but would have been grateful for it.

BBC Strictly Come Dancing 2008 - Week 9, The Curse of the Latin 2008-11-17 03:42:00 There is perhaps no doubt, when it comes to Strictly Come Dancing
, the Latin
dances are always a lot harder to perfect than the Ballroom. Because of this fact, the Ballroom dances always score a bit higher.If your favourite celebrity in the show is dancing a Latin performance, then be worried. It is probably time pick up the phone and get voting. This week the bottom two finishers, Cherie Lunghi a
