Do keep up ”

In a nut shell.

From the Warm and Tranquil Room thread. The humour here is unintentional, it was the juxtaposition that cracked me up.

That was possibly my post of the week, if not the series so far

Clearly it's not all fun...

EDIT- that should have read FUN!

I think I've just found my favourite thread on DS! It's had me sitting here grinning like a loon (dread to think what I look like

)

Thanks peeps!

Purity of dahnce!

Ann and Anton may as well go ahead and do Rumba that week, it'll be scary enough without any added gimmicks.”

From the FLAVIA - WHAT SHALL WE DO THREAD, posted by Dorabella 14. Solely for the part I've bolded!

Quote:
“-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ESPIONdansant - please remember to open your pillbox daily and take the contents.

History has shown that there's no room on the show for more than 6 good dancers, whether pros or contestants - because the collective audience mind is unable to grasp a superabundance of talent? . So what other choice is there? Be unusual!

Needless to say, I have not seen the dance in question, which according to the rules of this Forum perfectly entitles me to comment on it.

But I was thinking more of your sanity. You see, people with dementia are unaware, so not thinking of anything.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- ”

EDIT: Phew! *wipes sweat off brow* - got there in the end!

Found this in the non-appreciation thread, posted in response to Ann's flying stuff

Why don't they just bring in Scott's dead nan as a contestant for Halloween week whilst they're at it? They can hitch her up to Ann's harness and fly her around the room.”

A couple of good suggestions prompted by the news that Saturday week the dances will have spooky Hallowe'en theme...

But this post led to me inhaling my toast this morning...

Perfectly sums up the logic behind the voting patterns...

To me what seems to be the shock elimination is the good dancer who the public does not like for some reason or another, often times for what seems to be insignificant reasons. They don't like their ITT appearances, they raise their eyebrow wrong, hairstyle is all wrong, too much tan, they don't look at their partner they way they should, they look unhappy, they look too happy, they smile too much, they don't smile enough, they aren't saying the right things, they are "smug", the list goes on. It's enough to give them the boot. It's the beauty of a programme where the public can vote/not vote for whatever reason they have.

For me the real shock is the insanely popular celeb that everyone thought their popularity would carry them through who gets the boot. If Ann went on Sunday I would find that shocking.”

From Kmc1978, about 10 minutes ago, but this will be hard to top:

Quote:
“And if we believed everything we read in The Sun (and other red tops/gossip mags) it means that Tess, Claudia, Lilia and Ola have been pregnant more times than it's feasibly possible to be and between them must now have 110 children”

Rare pearl of wisdom from the Craig's acid tongue thread:

They actively choose to do it
Their agent negotiated the contract
They GET PAID to do it
They often need the exposure, usually because their career is not going anywhere
They are not frail, fragile creatures
It takes a massive ego to think you can get away with being a klutz live on TV
If you can't dance, can't learn and can't deal with criticism, you really need to get over yourself (Mr Magic?)”

A nomination from Winehouse on the Non Appreciation Thread (last night).

Had me in stitches.

You know the rules:

- 15 points for an 'amazing' (double points score if it's a long and drawn three syllable delivery)

- 12 for the 'journey' reference

- 10 for the touching and beautifully poetic 'you came 'aht'

- 8 for a 'you really performed that'

- 6 for the completely pointless Tess inspired 'how much do you want to stay in the competition'

- 4 for an Alesha 'My Love' or the kindly 'I don't think that was your dance'

- 2 points for the old favourite 'I really don't want this to end'.

Any reference to nanas, granddads, nieces or nephews, sick or deceased relatives (or indeed pets), juggernauts, large sailing vessels or sizeable and distinctly immobile animals, each net one point.

Please note any weddings arranged to coincide with the series offers you the opportunity of a special bonus 50 points.

But you must subtract one point for every lame Bruce joke, two for Alesha murdering the Queen's English, and [sorry] but it's five away for each time Tess sounds completely insincere.

The show will climax with the band murdering another Abba classic.

Keep Cliché-ing!”
