Strictly Come Dancing 2023 #17

[Boring Monday]

I wonder if James Jordan ever looks at all the love Anton gets from Strictly fans (not all of course, but plenty) and his getting promoted to the panel, and all of his other opportunities and wishes he hadn't been such a desperate, sore loser prick who pissed off everyone.

Ditto Brendan, although I always found him far less offensive than James, and he definitely chilled out later.

As I said … note to Gio … look after Strictly and Strictly will look after you. Don’t leave under a cloud unless you have a burning ambition to be in panto in Swansea or pulling on the ice skates.

(I find it interesting that the experience of both Brendan and Anton in series one basically set the tone for their whole time on Strictly. Brendan winning with showmance and white knighting a partner falling in lurve with dahnce and Anton getting knocked out by a young lad running round with a pretend cape).

Brendan could have had everything Anton has now if he wasn’t such an objectionable prick. He also looks like a big toe with a face drawn on it.

Yes let AJ Pritchard be the morality tale here.

Yes let AJ Pritchard be the morality tale here.

I think his problem was less being an hole than being too dim to resist the lure of z-list celebritydom.

Speaking of Shirley's new book....
She was a guest on Talk Sport Radio last week promoting her book, and the presenters trying to make her appearance on the show somewhat relevant to an audience that usually tunes in to hears analysis on football/rugby/boxing, brought up previous sport stars that had appeared on Strictly. Mark Ramprakash and Darren Gough were both mentioned as cricket players that had lifted the Glitter Ball, but Shirley instantly dismissed the topic with "I don't know about that, it was before MY time"
I felt irritated by her ignorance to Strictly past winners, and also the relevance to the audience of the show she was on to promote her book

Shirleys appearing at a literary festival near me to discuss her new book.
Shes quite open about using a ghost writer and just supplying the ideas

Fanny Rat will be munching a rats hole in the jungle this time next year. Mark my words.

Probably a combination of the two. He waited the pro dancers had been announced and that he would returning before he said … no, I’m not … leaving them a pro down. Can see that being a bit annoying.

Jesus! I hope that's not true. What would drive him to say something like that?

 

[Fanny Muchmore]

That's some pretty ablist bullshit on Gio's part if that IS true

 

[glasgow27]

If that's true, then Gio's career would be done.

 

[Harlot O'Scara]

Jesus! I hope that's not true. What would drive him to say something like that?

That's horrendous if true.

It's also a terrible allegation to make if not true.

You just know they’re going to dress Vito up as an octopus or something and ruin the weekend for everyone.

More tentacles to ravish you with?

 

[Tanley]

Yes indeed,
And look at Lauren and Krishnan for example. Both happily married afaik. Arms around each other and so forth. No hint of the Strictly curse there imo.

There was a lovely clip of his family plus the dog coming to visit the training room. Aaah, I just love Krishnan and Lauren. I know he isn't the top dancer but my goodness, he is working hard and his sheer enjoyment is something lovely to see.

Absolutely. That shot of Krishnan at the end of Saturday’s dance, arms in the air, joy shining out of his face. That is what I want to see on Strictly. What a wonderful partnership they have.

He is my winner regardless of where he goes from here.

 

[Tanley]

He dumped both Ashley and Georgia pretty brutally I think.

I am loving the idea of an Ex-Wives Club where they all sit round drinking Chardonnay hooting 'God, when he makes you say 'Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!', or 'What about when he goes on about being the King of Halloween?' 'Anyone for some GPVita?'

The Fail are on it anyway, like a rat up a ... fanny. If there is a Strictly source willing to spill they will get to them.

Giovanni Pernice has 'no plans to step back from Strictly'

Strictly professional Giovanni Pernice has postponed the launch of his new brand after his celebrity partner Amanda Abbington was forced to quit the BBC show due to 'personal reasons.'

And Maura. One minute it was all I love you and moving in together. The next she was banished from his presence.

If anyone thinks DS is bad, check out the Rose and Gio FB groups. Actually don't, it will hurt your eyes.

What's DS? I'm relatively new to strictly!

What a cruel thing for giovanni to potentially have said, there is too much detail for it not to have happened.
I just can't imagine him making comments like that

These are Gio's former partners. When its written down like this, it does very much seem like a him problem. Assume he is on ok terms with Debbie and Michelle?
