Fixed for troof.
This is Most Definitely Not An Appreciation Thread **Part 21**

I was grumpy about Austin, but actually that had less to do with the final at the time, and more not seeing an AT from him on reflection. (Edit; I think Tom would've won anyway).
I really was cheesed about Gethin because it did seem not cricket, the whole manner of it and that 40 for Matt's waltz....weird. Just didn't ring very true.

Ricky Whittle - great dancer landed with a storyline (together with Natalie in her first series) of "arrogant, thinks he's brilliant, talking about tens in week one, bring him down to size etc etc"
Ali Bastian - elegant, balletic, showmance with Fortuna, yawnsville.
Laila Rouass - not bad at ballroom, paired with Anton, terrible Latin, fell to bits during her rumba.
Craig Kelly - delusional, awful, dragged to Blackpool on a wave of Alesha vitriol (*giggles*).
Zoe Lucker - decent, dull, paired with the Jordanbeast, early shock(lolnotreally)boot.
Forgotten most of the others...

I blame that for the viewer/judge battle that was series 6 and I definitely blame series 6 for the total grumpfest that was series 7.

Yes the bad feeling over Gethin carried over into the up itself letsmakethisaseriousdancecompetition of series 6. Which in turn, sparked a total viewer up yours to the judges by voting for Cola on 7.
I voted for Cola because Ali and Ricky bored the hell out of me and there was nobody else. Chris could at least talk on camera, if not always dance.

Martina Hingis - danced like all other tennis players then cashed in her cheque and buggered off asap
Richard Dunwoody - crippling arthritis, stuck his face in Lilia's tits, spent the next three months bitching about what a nob Ricky Nipple was
Rav Wilding - Aliona probably shouldn't have tried sharing her wacky baccy choreography with a policeman it was never going to end well

Joe Calzaghe - Kristina's first "victim". At least in this country.

Ricky Groves - midlife crisis on stilts, Erin made him do a jive entirely made up of kick-ball-changes once because he learnt them at stage school and couldn't do owt else, did a James Bond rumba despite looking more like Blofeld in a crap wig
Jade Johnson - amazing sparkly pirate space hooker who once danced in a giant silver glittery cobweb to Destiny's Child but popped her knee out, making all other current athletes too shit-scared to do the show so now we wind up with Iwan Bloody Thomas and a one-armed boxer
Natalie Casidey - the ORIGINAL Funnity Fun Fun, and don't you forget it.

Now that one I should have remembered. Sorry Jade. (But as I said, I was drugged up to the nines.)

Nor me. That car crash of a Charleston. Barf. The hideous simpering and fake bonhomie.
That very silly face and the total and utter lack of anything even vaguely resembling sex appeal. I mean, no one would ever say 'cor' when they saw him. Not like Ricky (robbed I tell you).
He's like your dull cousin who lives with his Mum at 48, wears bad cardigans and never has a girlfriend or a boyfriend or even a pet.
He left me quite unmoved, as did his dancing. Pointless in Penge.

Very true. Like Susanna, I didn't mind him on BBC Breakfast, but after 2 weeks of SCD I was begging for somebody to hand me a shotgun.

I still cannot watch him. If I catch sight of him on TV I switch channels. It's that bad.
I love all the dancers but this girl just plain irritates me.
Everything she does comes over to me as fake. Now I know
that the dancers have to do a lot of "fake", but I just cannot take
it with Joanne. I dislike her so much I just hope she will go away
eventually. Small mercies for me, at least she doesn't have a celeb this year.

I love this conversation. It's like we have the narrative of Strictly! I didn't start watching until series 5 so I just have the myths from earlier series..
Way back at the beginning Natasha was terrified and awkward but Showmance happened and that cast its glow over everything she did! Oh, and Christopher Parker ran around in a batman cape.
Series 2 was Jill Halfpenny and her jive. That's it, that's the only thing that happened all series. She just jived non stop for three months until she got 40 and then she won! (Denise Lewis may have been there as well. Her and Ian had a "thing" according to the Daily Mail.)
Series 3 is COLINWOZROBBED! and occasionally ZoeWasRobbed and the Dancing Wardrobe that Lilia expertly manoeuvred around the dancefloor. Colin did a Good Male Rumba and a quickstep. Zoe did a tango? Darren was a Sportsman and had a Journey, which I believe involved a quickstep.
Series 4 is "When I won with Mark" and the second coming of Lilia (with Matt). Mark did a salsa and an Argentine Tango. Matt did a shimmy. This may also be the season of Louisa and her jive that she nailed after only 10 seconds of rehearsal.
Only just caught up on last night's show, so maybe this has already been put out there....
Can I just say that Kirsty darling that you need to soften those razor sharp edges. Being swung around various parts of Brenda's anatomy does not a dancer make, and bleating " Bizarre" when the scores come in is not particularly endearing.
She makes Gabby Logan resemble a shy retiring violet who tried her best.

Now everyone loves Nat. Back then they thought she was arrogant and over-competitive. And that wasn't terribly British or ladylike so they voted for the Hobbit. And now it's too late! She's sending distress signals to Erin Island.
Pah. I thought she was fab from the start.

I think Brenda has to take much of the blame for that. It's one thing to give confidence but false hope is another.
If he'd been half as supportive of Sunetra last year, it would have made more sense.

This conversation just reminds me how many series I've missed
saw 1 & 2, missed 3 & 4, saw 5 & 6, missed 7, saw 8, most of 9, 10 & 11, missed 12

She is very like Gaby without the talent, just the driving ambition & slight coldness. They were/are both very composed, very controlled, might be lovely people but makes them come across on to shows like this as hard-nosed

Absolutely. I'm delighted that the glee he had at getting another 'this girl' must have so quickly faded when he realised what he'd actually got was Pendledrama Ii. His just desserts for his ambivalence towards a lovely, sexy WOMAN with potential last year.
