Strictly Come Dancing 2023 #2

[Elleyunsun]

I know I’m a bit of a fangirl for her and she’s not everyone’s cup of tea on here (which is totally fine), but Rose got an Olivier Awards nomination for her play and I just think that is so cool, and really shows the platform Strictly gave her to launch herself into what she really wanted to do (which obviously wasn’t Eastenders forever).

 

[Boring Monday]

He has to have a tribute. he was there from the start and was a huge part of what it is.

Gemma’s caption impersonating Gorka’s accent cracked me up

What?? That's disappointing if Kai is slagging off Kaye - I thought she gave it a valiant effort. She was far better than some of the other equivalent celebrities in her age group (hey Anneka).

And you've not been unlucky with partners if you've only done 2 series and 1 was with a contender. Please go talk to Anton, Karen or Katya. Or indeed your own girlfriend who hasn't made one final in six series.

@lalalandx21 I'm guessing it was this?

That thumbnail makes him look like the one BNP local election candidate who knows how to use iMovie.

Kai Widdrington’s pledges:
- More British dancers on British light entertainment shows
- Celebrating white…teeth
- Promoting morris dancing over woke European dances such as the paso doble

Don’t forget to vote Kai Widdrington on May the 4th!

Disclaimer: I am not of course, suggesting that Kai is in any way affiliated with the far right, in case anyone from Facebook is reading.

Who is Ellie? I haven't watched much of the show so not much to compare!

Ellie Taylor, who did Strictly just last year there with Johannes.

She was a really good presenter on the Pottery Throwdown: sympathetic without being cloying, and able to poke gentle fun. Most importantly, she knew pretty well instinctively when to ask to ask set questions and when to nudge the interview of an upset contestant in a different direction (which as we have seen from carcrash ITT interviews is a rare skill, not easily learned)

Quite a lot of people were hoping for her to get the Bakeoff gig on the strength of her performance, actually, She could do pretty well on ITT, if she wanted it, I should think.

They need to keep Craig for a bit of drama. He’s the only one that consistently speaks his true mind.

 

[glasgow27]

Ellie T might be a good shout??

I'd be up for her taking it. Think she'd have a bit of the sardonic wit that made Rylan so good at it.

 

[IndominusRex]

I don’t understand why he’s allowed in the country to be honest. I think it’s disgusting he still has a career after what he did.

 

[posy]

Positive they will do a tribute - Len was a legend in the ballroom world - they have to.

 

[posy]

Craig would be only loss judge wise - the others can be replaced.

 

[sparkles710]

Meanwhile, it looks like Tyler and Molly have gone official. On tik tok at least.

Seem a lovely couple

@Fillyjonk you’ve said it far better than I ever could.

The arse wiggling and chest flashing in the last series was the straw that broke the camel’s back for me - irreversible ick.

 

[Open-door]

I suppose they do have to earn a living the other nine months of the year - they are hardly likely to be manning the checkouts at Sainsbury's for a living from Jan to Sept! It's always going to be about touring, teaching, and getting what TV/PR/writing gigs they can. Dancing is a short career.

 

[Woolmercardington]

I really hope Giovanni goes out in the first elimination. I couldn't be anymore bored of him.

 

[DoseofReality]

A hate site? Dramatic much?

What are they going to do you when they find you?

Make her sit through all 3 episodes of Anton and Gio's Sicily programme.

Gio has done so much for the deaf community, no Rose has done so much for the deaf community. They need to stop white knighting him.

 

[Renegadedancer]

Def Amy and Dianne need to be benched, im surprised they didn’t get the boot tbh.

 

[IndominusRex]

I wanted Ellie T to get the bake off job so I would be very happy if she got ITT!

 

[Fillyjonk]

Gorka is probably the least fanciable one to me tbh.

 

[glasgow27]

Someone on DS suggesting that Shirley is in negotiations for more money.

I don't condone anyone who trolls her about judging or whatever, however I will absolutely not stand for her getting more money when her increase in money comes out of a licence fee which people are bullied into paying for when they struggle to heat their bloody homes. Not to mention that the pros and everyone behind the scenes are the real talent who work extremely hard in keeping the show going. Why are the BBC allowing this, a judge sits and gives scores, they are easily replaceable?

Queen of Latin or not, ultimatums need to be made. And if it's "give me more money or I leave" then see ya later.

I say JAYDE!!!
