I’ve just spent ages reading and catching up so apologies that some of you (
@calmyourritas and
@YorkshireFox lol) may have an unreasonable amount of Tattle notifications full of me liking all your comments… I already accidentally spoilt it for myself by checking IG late last night and I’m really happy Bill won. I do believe he peaked weeks ago but I love him and Oti is my favourite professional so I can’t complain! As
@honeygnome said, Oti deserves the win twice in a row to make up for the fact she didn’t win with the legend that is Danny Mac. Anyone except Harvey could have won and I’d have been pleased tbh
Here’s my long catch up post that no one asked for:
- Claudia has had a fringe trim and looks fab tonight!
- ohhh Jamie Jamie Jamie. Why did I get tear up watching every single dance of his? He’s the most improved out of everyone. I even liked the creepy Hercules dance this time! His showdance was one of my favourites of the night. Honestly, he is my winner and I will remember this series because of him and how much fun he had dancing. He made me love Karen as a professional too. She is so kind and encouraging and has blossomed since she divorced that leech Kevin.
- when Shirley mentioned Bill’s age in the VT and after his showdance I thought of you all kicking off
Even my mum texted me and mentioned his age and I had to tell her off for sounding like Shirley. Bill’s quickstep is one of my favourite dances of this series, so I was glad to see it again. In their show dance, I loved how they had the queen card in his show dance was drawn to look like Oti, very nice touch. That guitar at the end!!! Epic. Casually name dropping Brian May and Roger Taylor there too.
- what more can be said about our girl Maisie, she’s fabulous and always looks professional. Gorka looking fantastic as per. I enjoyed reading you thirsty bitches account of Gorka during my catchup hahaha. Back to horny jail with you all! I was a bit underwhelmed with their show dance, it didn’t look much different from their usual ballroom. However, their quickstep is my favourite dance from this whole series. It gives me goosebumps, Gorka’s choreo is perfect, his suit is perfect, her dress is perfect. I was fuming when Craig gave it a 9. Piss off Craig. This girl has a bright future in the theatre I’m sure. She is wasted on Eastenders.
- I thought Harvey's show dance was annoyingly good but can’t help but notice Janette recycles choreography. The king of the kicking her up off the floor move is Jake Wood in his salsa, and I will fight anyone who says otherwise. His sparkly suit dance was good. He’s just so irritating as a person with his fake persona, I can’t say much more about him.
-Hilarious how they covered up Liz Hurley’s tits with the terms and conditions banner.
- Can we all agree Katya is a powerhouse and looked amazing in that blue dress!! Tbh I was only watching her not Nicola.
- Agreed with
@Pinkblush and
@glasgow27 - we desperately need fresh new pros who will bring a bit more rebellion to the lineup. I miss Brendan and James Jordan too, and Ola, Kristina (to see whose marriage she’d ruin that year and I will always love her and Simon Webb’s Argentine tango), Vincent and Flavia. I want those two dancers who danced in the results show a few weeks ago to join the line up (sorry I can’t remember their names!) The ones who I said gave my Ola Jordan nostalgic catsuit vibes.
- Oh my giddy god, the preview for best Strictly dances of all time!!!! I am so hyped. My boy Danny Mac, my beloved Jay McGuinness, so pleased they featured Kristina and Simon’s Argentine (weird how I just mentioned it, maybe Strictly read my mind), Louis Smith, Jake Wood (again, creepy how I just mentioned Jake's salsa and it got featured. plot twist, I work at Strictly)… All the legends!!! Except Ore, he can fuck off
I look forward to discussing it all with everyone on here
- I weirdly like Robbie Williams. I appreciate that he knows he is a twat and he just rides with it, which I find really funny. Looks like he’s borrowed Harvey’s sparkly blazer for this performance. Obsessed with the red dresses the female dancers are wearing. Nancy is so gorgeous, I hope she gets a partner next year.
- Oh my god Gio is back in the sailor hat, I am wheezing
- So nice to see Jason again. That man gives me warm fuzzy feelings. And Max too. Oh, the fuzzy feeling stopped when I saw Amy and JJ, ew. Caroline still doing that weird thing with her mouth I see.
- I fully started crying when Bill made his speech to Oti. I love Oti so much. Strictly needs her, she is by far the best choreographer imo. I hope she doesn't quit now she's won twice as some of you predicted.
A big thank you to BBC for putting on Strictly this year and it really has been the highlight of my week to gather here on Tattle to have all our in-jokes together
Have a wonderful Christmas everyone, I hope the recent news about tier 4 hasn't dampened too many spirits or ruined too many plans. I'm going to spend the rest of my day cleaning and watching Danny Mac/Jay McGuinness videos in between. Keeeeeeep dancing!!!
