It certainly seems to have become a symbiotic commercial relationship, but I suspect the
primum mobile for this is JS, as the parasite who feeds off the host. JS won over DB as they survived each week on SCD, and he taught her the advantages of a social media presence, not only through the TV votes, but also the ad influencer income etc After they won the glitterball for every performance bar one on the Strictly Live tour,, I think that is when JS would have suggested DB might benefit more from touring with him, not only because they would be together, but presumably also with lures of increased income Since DB seems to be smitten with JS, it is not difficult to see she may have allowed her professional judgement to be clouded. I think DB has more to lose as an established mainstream entertainer. but JS has inveigled her. You may disagree.
In her shoes, I would doubt JS's commitment. But i doubt if she sees it. Love is blind.
JS is more at risk of being dumped, I think, but that may well be another reason why he has devised this
It certainly explains why many Strictly Pros have been working hard at Social Media since the last series.
I blame the Producers TBH. The voting system was shown to be useless by JS,, not only on the TV series, but also on the Live Tour. When the Producers palpably interfered in the Semis, it made a terrible situation even worse. But to be frank, it is an entertainment show as much as it is a dance show., If it really was all about dancing, then the voting system would be much better, and Celebs with a dance background would have a much better chance of winning. It was nothing short of scandalous in dance terms, that Stomping Sracey Dooley won that last series against Ashley Roberts and Faye Tozer.
You may be right, but I would say it is the other way around. Either way, we both agree there does seem to be a certain distance.
Yeah I can’t really work out the reason they don’t all hang out together, it’s alwags the same people from his group that go to her shows etc like Mikey, Archie and Caspar but the others don’t seem to care
I’ve never seen her hang out with jack...
it's worse than that: many are middle aged Stans. Just look at the dedicated, treacly thread on
Digital Spy.
