Thread of the week. On any forum! I'm still giggling! WE WANT AINSLEY!
Was the absence of Ainsley Harriott the reason Fern Britton was in the dance-off?

It's one of those 'you had to be there' jokes I think. In 2012 it was brilliant comic timing and made complete sense. Anyone finding it today must be scratching their heads.

Must admit I hadn't looked at the original post date until I got to the end.... And yes, I'm with hippychick - I don't get it either!

Me neither ??
Another who does not get it. I suspect this was a spoof thread of one at the time bemoaning Fern's vote off. Hopefully Monkseal or another forum member who posted here in 2012 will enlighten us. Please.
In the meantime we could treat it as a bit of surrealist, interactive, performance art or should that be Art? *said in reverend tones*.
It is open to whatever interpretation the reader chooses to make. So we have a punch line and are challenged to craft our own joke.

It was in response to a certain FM who had a love of posting similar style threads (until a mass thread merge last year seemed to put a stop to it - thank you Mods!), but I can't remember for the life of me what it was in direct response to, but it was very funny at the time (honest!).
For a second I thought it was in response to the 'Lulu voted off because it coincided with a big fireworks display in Scotland', but that's the wrong year.
I'm having a guess at it being about how Fern was up against Kimberley in said dance off, and how (I think) people were saying that her vote collapsed because Cheryl wasn't there in the audience?
IIRC, that was the week that Cheryl turned up to support Kimberley but she found herself in the dance off (against Fern) and a thread claimed that it was Cheryl's presence that caused people to not vote for her & this was the anti-thread in response.

I think that was it, can never remember who was on which series with each other, then all tend to merge into one for me

Although it wasn't "a" thread so much as about 10.
