Note to self: this is Nigel Harman

...this is not. This is Nigel Havers.

Was wondering why you lot were creaming your knickers.

 

[Geetbo]

It does amuse me that we're all waiting with bated breath for the announcement of someone who shagged Sharon in Eastenders 20 years ago.

 

[LaBlonde]

SCREAMING.

SHAKING AND CRYING.

I AM GOING TO BANKRUPT MYSELF GETTING HIM TO DO A RHUMBA.

Not directly related to strictly but is aljaz getting any kind of rest yet?
He posts near enough everyday with time stamps showing hes up most the night caring for lyra which he seems to love so fair play all whilst janettes always getting a full night's sleep??
And then she keeps emphasising how tired they are but always points out aljaz has busy nights I can see how he must be exhausted sleeping on the floor at first but surely they could be sharing the duties out by now?

Not meant to be hurtful to anyone just curious that's all

Woman carries child for 40 weeks and works throughout much of her pregnancy.

Woman undergoes major surgery to bring child into the world.

Woman needs to be fully recovered from said surgery in a matter of months in order to resume duties as main breadwinner in the relationship.

Doting, non-working father does some night-time baby care and puts it on social media.

Woman is implied to be a piss-taking shirker who isn’t pulling her weight in the relationship.

To be fair, maybe his couples choice will surprise us all and actually be a tribute to his Dad bringing him up to the Postcode Lottery song “someone’s knocking on your door, somebodies ringing the bell”

 

[Woolmercardington]

At this stage I'm now actually hoping for Les Dennis

 

[LaBlonde]

Yes, I remember that too.

Plus they could do with being a bit more specific about what they are saying needs to be improved.
Anton and Motsi often say an awful lot without giving anything specific in their feedback for the couple to work on.

The other thing about Will and the cape was that he obviously thought it had gone well.

motsi very often just goes into: dancing! there you were, dancing! i liked your groove i liked the vibe you were on ffffiiirreee. you could work a little bit on that thing you know what i’m talking about i saw it *wink to the contestant* but you sure were DANCING! we all saw you gggiiirrrll. keep doing your thhhiinngg! *audience applause*

like, what are they supposed to do with that

 

[Libbub]

[UnknownTattler]

I remember when Bobby Brazier was born

 

[Geetbo]

Tbf i would ride Vito like a pony and then take out a full page advert in the sun to tell everybody.

 

[Geetbo]

Chris’ sob story should have been the fact he’s married to Rosie Ramsay tbf.

 

[UnknownTattler]

Les dancing a Couple's Choice to Holden Back the Years in tribute to his ex-wife's many faces pls.

I always think it must be very heady for a celeb on Strictly. They have this pro, this person who is there just for them. They are their safety net, their support blanket, their coach, their psychiatrist all wrapped up in a cheerleading package. They coax them out to dance when they are terrified, they put them back together after a judges mauling and they tell anyone who will listen that this week they are going to be fab, they talk them down in a 4am phone call. For the length of time they are in the show, it’s the most important relationship they have … and for some that’s getting on for 4 months’.

Theres no wonder it can turn into a crush or more … but really the pro is just doing their job. After the final dance it’s ‘cheeribye, then’ (and in the case of James with Dr Pamela, change the phone number, the locks, grow a beard and buy many hats) and again for the celeb it must be like having the rug pulled from under them. I think quite a few struggle to let go.

exactly this!

i feel like i would probably end up falling a bit in love with my pro too if i was a celeb (especially if it was nikita). you go from spending so much time with this person: to them, it’s a job. to you, it’s (at best) an absolute life-changing experience where you exist in a glittery world full of confidence and love. and then suddenly it just all ends. my pro/nikita would probably be taking out a restraining order.

(i do think hamza fell a little bit in love with jowita too)

 

[glasgow27]

didn’t johannes imply this with ellie last year? i can’t remember his exact wording but he said it had been a lovely and relatively easy experience and he hadn’t had to “call my therapist” afterwards

His first 3 partners were Catherine, Caroline & John, I bet having Ellie was a treat for him after those 3. Especially since we've now seen the true colors of Cath in particular.

 

[Geetbo]

The thing I’m most dreading is Shirley basically waving her minge at Nigel.

 

[Fillyjonk]

It's a shame that if a woman wants to channel her sexual energy and wear sexy dresses then she's arrogant or vulgar, while Gorka can flash his boobs for votes and crawl around on all fours in a corset.

 

[LaBlonde]

I honestly saw zero chemistry between them

same. if anything there was a sibling vibe imo, like a little sister teasing her big brother who thinks he is the heartthrob of the school i liked their dynamic for that reason, and because she always sort of brought gio down a peg or two. he was the most likeable he’s been with her, but i definitely saw no romantic chemistry.

 

[Elleyunsun]

This post from ellie t has amused me and do we think it’s a dig at john too

I bloody love Ellie. Loved her before the show and loved her even more after which is rare. Her and Johannes were a lovely pairing and it sounds like just what he needed. I remember him buying her huge stunning bouquets of flowers every week

Will must be my biggest disappointment ever. I was expecting Chris Ramsey vibes but hot af, but got “DADDY’S FINE” to his 20 year old kids.
