Regarding the pros, didn’t Nancy say on ITT that she knew what week, what dance etc, but she hadn’t told Shayne? Swear one the pros said this. I think the pros if they wish to can have a fair bit of say over the production for their celeb. Sarah has said Vito sketches their costumes.
---
Guess with the pros it depends how assertive and how much control they want.
Sarah-Jane, said Gio hadn’t wanted to do that Charleston with Faye, but she convinced it would work - get the impression if an idea is suggested, the Pro if they are very against can say nope.

I've got to put my head above the parapet to say I didn't enjoy Ashley's dances at all, I especially hated her Taylor Swift Tango and that Jive that looked like a frantic mess.

BUT, I will concede that maybe I don't know what a "proper" Jive should look like because I also thought Karim's 40 Jive was a load of manic tit.

i’m seeing him in his second show so i can’t guarantee that he’ll make the rest of the dates sorry (i joke, i know @StephenTJackson has meet and greet and would never forgive me 🤣)
I'll be finding you if you dare! 😂

That's my man! Most of his shows are before I'm kidnaping him and making him develop Stockholm syndrome and falling in love with me. So most people can see him first.

I think Tasha is an amazing, talented dancer, but I don't think she herself is convinced by the story she's trying to tell sometimes, so of course it will be difficult to convince a viewer.
Must be quite difficult when the story is about your dance partner's toddler.

I wasn't particularly an Ashley fan. I'm old and can't remember but was she a dance off asassin? Did the public like her?

Agree about the age and life experience. Vito and production did a good job making Ellie’s journey be from a girl to a woman. They played on that with her dances.
Her couple's choice should have been "I'm not a girl, not yet a woman"!😁

The pros do normally choreograph on a Sunday. Of course they will already have a solid idea of routine and what syllabus steps they're going to put in, but they would finesse it on a Sunday when they know they're through, know more of their partner's capabilities and know if they want to throw in any tweaks (like Jamie and Michelle referencing their Paso in the mental ketchup Jive). It would be insane to pre-set 14 choreographies in stone in August, when you don't know if you need them all, or whether your partner can do less/more than you hoped. But equally insane to give four days to think of a song, routine and then teach it. I'm not surprised or disappointed that a lot is done ahead, anything else is unrealistic. But I heard (and believed) a pro say that for them Sundays are out: so if you get to a final, you're basically working every day for three months. A pro who takes it seriously does that, at least (no shade, Karen).

I wasn't particularly an Ashley fan. I'm old and can't remember but was she a dance off asassin? Did the public like her?
They did not, she has three consecutive dance offs after Blackpool. She was too American, good and confident (this pissed me off, Faye was equally good, equally a ringer, and I loved her just as much, but Faye got hardly any heat! In a way I was glad Ashley took it from her, but I was annoyed that Ashley had to take it).

BIB I think this is part of my issue with the likes of Tasha and Pete, I’m not really sure why they’re considered a celebrity, same goes for GK Barry on IACGMOOH, they’re basically fame hungry ordinary people. Fully appreciate this is probably because I’m out of touch but what have they actually achieved to make them a genuine celebrity?
Gk Barry was pencilled in for strictly originally

For a very long time Strictly wouldn't have anyone from that sort of background on the show. They were a bit snobby like that but I think once they realised that people like Joe Sugg have millions of followers and attract younger audiences then they had to get with it really. These are the new celebrities.

Oh I don’t know I think I could handle Shitley if I got cunniliftus with Vito - not sure they would even have to pay me.

Very good point if you throw in getting boned by Vito every day for 12 weeks she can say whatever the duck she wants to me.

I’m sad Jamie is out but, after a truly terrible Monday that ended with me being locked out, I will take an ITT line-up that involves Jamie, Michelle, Pete and Jowita being interviewed by Fleur. I just wish it was under better circumstances.
