Strictly Come Dancing #23

[OtherMoon]

Just watching last nights it takes two. What has Jeanette done to her hair ?

I was more concerned about wondering where she had left her Emotional IQ?! I will have to go back and look at her hair...

 

[KeriRhys]

Oh no! an oversight. We can shoehorn him into the hip-hop number. With Aljaz.

I'd like him to shoehor[comment redacted]

 

[OtherMoon]

I think he's relaxed around her (and she around him) and they obviously work well together, which means that they're both having a good Strictly experience this year. He's said that he appreciates her positivity so I think they're vibing and having a nice time.

I get the sense that AJ and John are maybe more up and down emotioanlly, so while Giovanni has to work hard to adapt his teaching to Rose, he's playing less of Strictly therapist role this series. This is just the vibe I get

I get that impression too. Gio had it hard last year playing Ranvir therapist and body coach whilst also being in a strict social bubble. I am glad this years pairing has been more light hearted for him.

Everybody's like "Gio's a changed man this year!" and I'm thinking 'yes, that's the effect less stress has on a person!'. Not that stress is bad or that he's not working hard, but I think this partnership with Rose is very easy and natural in that respect for both of them.

Gio is a good actor he knows how to work it to get the rumour mill going, I’ve no doubt about that. I think he loves Rose as a friend and they’ve become very close, but to me there is no romantic vibe between them at all.

They have a sweet friendship and it’s nice to see he does have more depth - from all accounts, he’s been wonderful with Rose and working extra hard to support her.

Aw, I am a Ranvir defender. Yes, she had issues and hang-ups but they had a great partnership (her VW, AT and Foxtrot were fab), and she was also a laugh. I hate that she now seems to be remembered as 'sad middle-aged lady with a crush on Gio'.

Completely agree! They seem to have just really hit off as friends, and he's constantly saying how happy and up beat Rose is! I think they have very similar senses of humour too!
Definitely don't get sibling vibes though...they're very flirty and tactile with each other! (Which you can be with friends before anyone comes for me)

No, I really liked them too! (Not even sure she did have a crush, honestly). They did a lot of great work together. It was just a different type of partnership from the Rose/Gio one

I agree it's very different from last year, in that Rose is a great, young dancer and even if he's having to work much harder in terms of her deafness, the dancing itself is easier, plus I'm sure from the start he suspected they might go far so was excited.
And Rose seems super confident, though she said in a post the other day that she had a lot of insecurities about herself and Strictly has really helped her.

Sometimes flirting with your friends is the best type of flirting because you can exercise the old flirt muscle, get the serotonin hit, but don't have to worry about follow through because all parties know it's just for fun

I agree that they do seem to get on very well and like one another. I'll even venture to say I understand why the Rose/Gio shippers are a thing.

As has been said many a time, the casting and pairings really were spot on this series

Considering she was starting a relationship with a twenty something assistant in the studio at that time, it does rather show she wasn’t crushing on Gio!

Heh, indeed! We'll watch as all of the purported ships turn out to be wrong and it turns out the real series 19 romance was Judi and a member of Dave Arch's Wunnerful Orchestra or something

Judi and Man in the Hat 4 ever

I don't think that started till much later! But yeah, maybe she thought Gio was too old..

 

[LennyBriscoe]

I hope Janette doesn’t get another stint on ITT, she’s the only person who could possibly more annoying than Zoe Ball. She’s like a bloody seal, clapping at everything. Why do they need two people to present 5 half hour shows anyway

 

[soccergirl]

Janette's hair is a fright!

Oh, she is dancing with Aljaz to Ed Sheeran on Sat!

I adored Ranvir, voted every week and was outraged Jamie Lang was saved over her. But I did feel it all got a bit too intense near the end.
I know Gio showmance baits every year but Ranvir was the only one I saw any sort of genuine sexual tension with at least in the early weeks.

What on the main show?!

 

[NoImSpartacus]

Straight to Tattle

 

[Miss Begotten]

As much as I want AJ in the final, I really hope she doesn't push it too much and end up even more injured!

they could easily fill the runtime with Gorka in his Dalmatian suit on all fours again

I really feel for AJ and Kai, it’s gutting for both of them but stuff the Dalmatian suit. If this isn’t the perfect time to resurrect Officer Gorka I don’t know what is.

 

[KeriRhys]

Genuinely never know what's going to come out of Motsi's mouth...

 

[LennyBriscoe]

Straight to Tattle

She’s like a sparkly brussel sprout and her hair looks like it’s been dropped on like a shower cap. And THEN she says she was sorry to see Tom go




Maybe a dig at him going out the week she wasn’t there?
