Sonebody on DM going 'remember what happened to.Caroline Flack'Good grief, I've seen it all. Someone on Facebook comparing what's happening to Gio to Philip Schofield's 'cancellation'. Such a ringing endorsement to be lumped in with Phil!
But they are all being nasty to Amanda, Ranvir etc, it’s really annoying me. Amanda is probably the most vulnerable mental health wise. I hope she’s getting help.Sonebody on DM going 'remember what happened to.Caroline Flack'.
This is a very different situation.
Fed up of 'be kind' being wheeled out whenever anybody expresses a differing opinion.
It probably helps that more people have agreed with her. Half the battle is getting heard and believed.But they are all being nasty to Amanda, Ranvir etc, it’s really annoying me. Amanda is probably the most vulnerable mental health wise. I hope she’s getting help.
I see what you mean. Could be. Suggesting that Gio was being a professional and they should listen and not take stuff personally.Is Gorka now doing cryptic insta posts, him re posting Gordan Ramseys 3 non negotiable behaviours is that in support of Gio?
That is my take. Im just not one for motivational speeches or life advice. Makes me eye roll.I see what you mean. Could be. Suggesting that Gio was being a professional and they should listen and not take stuff personally.
That's a good point about Graz. I was just thinking a while back it really shows what a twat Gio is. Graz had a bit of a disastrous first year - a partner who was difficult and didn't have much time to train, lots of criticism of his dancing, choreography and blame for her early exit. Then he's benched for 2 years. He was almost paired with John until the last minute swap to Johannes. It sounds like he was probably the second choice to get Layton as well, and for the second time went out with a duffer at Halloween instead. Only had 1 almost-contender out of 4 partners in 6 years. Zero finals. And the icing on his bad luck cake - two missed weeks with Covid. If anyone could be understandably a little bitter and checked out, it's him. Not to mention Neil and Luba and their rare trips off the bench. But he's still a lovely smiley puppy who puts 100% in and has a good relationship with most of his celebs. FR gets a middler the year after winning and throws his toys out of the pram. Prick.Though he left home at 14 to go to dance school - that has got to be difficult. He seems almost entirely motivated by money, has no other interests except work and spending money etc. Maybe his background made him desperate to be a big success. But Graz also has a humble Sicilian background and has stayed true to himself, working hard and being ambitious but being kind and pleasant.
Seems weird though to quote someone who is seen as a notorious bully?I see what you mean. Could be. Suggesting that Gio was being a professional and they should listen and not take stuff personally.
This is problem with the whole situation, one persons bully is another persons professional.Seems weird though to quote someone who is seen as a notorious bully?
Gorka and Gemma were still very friendly with Gio though, unlike lots of others (Janette and Aljaz anyone?) so I'd be interested to know what they think.
I hate xenophobic crap like this. As if all Italians have one homogenous temperament. And "passionate" is a word frequently used to defend abusive men.Someone talking absolute tripe on Reddit:
"I could probably imagine Graziano being accused of bullying. I can imagine any of the pros, being accused of bullying tbh. If they’re paired with the wrong personality type, just look at Amy and John Jules. Can you imagine anyone not getting on with Amy? When you’re spending 10/12 hours a day with someone and you’re tired tolerance is thinner than normal. I was only saying that in my experience the way Italians approach things are different to how British people approach things. They’re way more passionate about things than we are."
Eh, I agree that he wouldn't have been able to get the most out of Layton, but I think he could have done well enough with John.Graz is lovely, but if he didn't quickly find that niche, I'm pretty sure he'd have been Cameron'd out of there. They'd have been crazy to put him with Layton or John.
It's a lonely furrow for sure. Especially to speak up against someone popular and apparently backed by their employer.It probably helps that more people have agreed with her. Half the battle is getting heard and believed.
Can you imagine any of them being falsely accused by three partners though?Someone talking absolute tripe on Reddit:

I saw that about the husband being straight and not attracted to him, and my eyes rolled so hard, they will probably never come back. WTF!Can you imagine any of them being falsely accused by three partners though?
Why do the defenders keep glossing over that part? I mean, I know why, but still.
I think my favourite comment on DS had to be the lady who responded to a comment that he was getting all this defence because he's attractive with a long blather about her husband not being attracted to him but also thinking it's a witchhunt. Oh gee, I fucking wonder why a (presumably) straight white man might side against three women complaining about mistreatment from another straight white man? No one's calling for him to be burned at the stake, just saying that at this stage it doesn't look good because how likely is it for an innocent person to have complaints from multiple people?
'...dancers with little personality?'Yip people do seem to be abandoning Gio pretty quickly. I mean, even Pip Scofield's friends haven't dumped him and I'd say his actions are more unpalatable.
I think strictly will be poorer for the loss of Gio. And Johannes if he doesnt retirn. We're now left with a lot of dancers with little personality
But then I think that's how the producers like it. Its more about the daft costumes than the actual dancing.
I'll be booking the strictly legends show next week when I get paid. See some real ballroom/Latin dancing
