Chris Hollins and 'sleazy' would have been a dis-a-s-t-e-r.

Dreadful dreadful dreadful.....There are children watching this show.
I am a great fan of Ola and Robbie, but Ola no more of this cringeworthy choreography please.

But children can watch the original choreography (Michael Jackson) at any time.

It wasn't relevant to the dance at all, I didn't mind it - at first I laughed
but I nearly spat my wine out when Robbie jumped up in front of Craig it was totally unexpected and a bit crude really

Nancy pushed Anton into a coffin Harry killed Aliona James tried to kill Alex Natalie got eaten by a plant whilst Audley played the piano But people are worried that children may be screaming in their beds because Ola used some Michael Jackson choreography during...a song by Michael Jackson? Am I right here? I've already provided an example of a child that wasn't bothered. Can someone provide an example of a child that was or else the 'won't somebody think of the children' argument falls a bit flat. |

there is always the off switch
Why should we switch off? I enjoy Strictly but don't want to see a move like that. Completely unnecessary and didn't add to the dance at all.

Yes it was one of Michael Jackson's "trademarks"...squealing at the same time if I recall right. One reference to that would have been enough from Robbie.
"Moonwalking" was also one of Jackson's moves...why not include this as well? Could it be because Robbie could not manage to do it...but can manage to find his crotch with his own hand. And let's face it....it did the job...we all remembered that..not how poor the rest of the routine was and how lumpen footed Robbie was. Job done Ola ![]() ( BTW I'm not sure words like "children watching/crotch grabbing/Michael Jackson" should ever appear in the same post) |

There are people on other boards who are saying that their grandchildren were with them and they were asking why he did that. Should they have to explain 'thrusting' and 'crotch gripping' to very young, as yet, innocent children. |

It's done to help with the ratings - crotch hugging, hip thrusting male celebs seems to get many a woman in a foam induced frenzy for some reason.

One or two are missing the point.
This is supposed to be a family show and should be setting an example. It shouldn't be about arguing if any children were offended. It was a deliberate and an unnecessary part of the routine. But that's the BBC for you. The wardrobe malfunction can be excused as an accident, but this would have been seen at rehearsal and excluded on the live show. The BBC are making this show even tackier in their quest to beat the X-Factor in the ratings. |

There are adults watching the show! and as an adult I don't want to see that. I'm not sure my dogs or my cat want to see that either....
![]() I thought it was awful. What next Ola, can we expect to see Robbie having a w**k in the middle of the quickstep? I think we should be told Plus all this emphasis on crotch grabbing and hip thrusting makes me wonder "if Robbie doth protest too much" if you know what I mean. Sorry, but tacky stuff like that is going to attract equally tacky comments ![]() Quote:

Agree it was very tacky. It is starting to get as tacky as the x factor. Once maybe acceptable but how many times.

Well said! If I was Craig I'd have been tempted to jab him in the nads with my pen!!

I despair, I really do.

Jeez it was only a bit of thrusting. Since when did DS harbour a bunch of Mary Whitehouse a-likes blasting about censorship and the corruption of our young?

Has anyone who twitters had a reply from Ola or Robbie with regard to this routine being sleazy?

Pehaps it's a good job you're (hopefully) not someone in charge of young children then fefster, if you think that routine was either appropriate for an early evening family audience or even worthy of the show. It was poor, tasteless choreography, revoltingly performed. Everyone who teaches or cares for young children thankfully does not agree with you, and we are NOT Mary Whitehouses. Please keep your offensive comments to yourself, as others have also asked you to do, not just me.
Not EVERYONE thinks the same as you do. I didn't like the routine but it didn't offend me in the slightest neither would I have been concerned about children watching it and I have a three-year-old boy. I'd love to meet these young children who are going to be traumatised by this move. I'd like to know the age of the children watching with their grandparents who asked "what he was doing" and why they couldn't be told he's imitating a dance move done by Michael Jackson. The "sexual" nature of the move would go over the heads of most young children and those old enough to know what it was about should absolutely be getting told about the birds and the bees. |

I loved it it made me laugh, me and my friends couldn't stop we had to pause the judges comments because we couldn't concentrate. My sister loved it and my 2 year old niece was dancing around the room.
Though I probably wouldn't go as far as Alesha and want it in every dance .

There's so much boring-old-fartism from people on this forum.
Everything that is amusing or risky or non-traditional seems to be disapproved of. I thought the crotch grabbing was relevant because it was a Michael Jackson song, and the one at the end in Craig's face was surprising and hilarious (and pretty damn athletic). |

Alesha wants the groinal thrust in every one of Robbie's routines.
I await its inclusion in their Viennese Waltz... ![]() ![]() This forum would probably implode in hysterics, which makes me want it even more.
