Does anyone else recognise the top half of Helen's dress from a previous week? I am sure I have seen it before but can't quite work out on who??!
Reminded me of Katie's Jive outfit.

I thought snide and veiled insults were a staple of this forum.

*shrugs*
When they are about other posters they are deeply unpleasant and spoil the board.

They seem to be a staple of those who can't argue cogently, or can't countenance other opinions from theirs without gathering in little groups to be insulting and unpleasant.

I find it boring and nasty and childish, shrugs, you fill your boots.

I think only Anita could cope with that type of approach, but then I wonder if Gleb would behave the same if he was with someone else? Perhaps the dynamic between them is unique and works for them both, though I do get the impression that Anita is more dealing with his approach rather than thriving on it. However she is improving, so who knows.

I think Giovanni can be quite tough on Georgia too, but he seems to have the balance right..pushes her enough to get the best out of her, but maintains a friendship and keeps it fun. You have to enjoy the experience too.
You could be right! I hadn't thought that Gleb could be following cues from her. There's always so much that's undercurrent and intuitive between people. And you'd never really know if you weren't one of them. It just struck me tonight how brave she seemed in contrast to how snotty and upset I would be!!

Gio and Geo, and Kevin and Kellie too... The soundtrack out of both those training rooms would include a lot of giggling, though both are working really hard.

I totally agree. There are many who form groups to harass others. I'm thankful I don't do such a thing.

Anyway, thanks for the advice. I'll leave it to the mods though, and if they deem my comment inappropriate - then that judgement I will happily accept.

From what has been seen of the training, it seems Anita see's Gleb as her teacher in this show. She is learning the routines and wants to do the best she can. Gleb is extremely strict and will give praise, but only when it's deserved. He won't mollycoddle a partner just to ease the tension.

They are the perfect partnership in this and I think the dynamic between the two is the reason we have seen many standout performances from them.

You did.

Fool yourself if you want to.

Not sure what your beef is but you are doing just what you accused the other of, spoiling the thread.

For someone who is so vehemently against disruption to the board, you certainly seem adamant to continue this discussion.

Fooling oneself is clearly a common trait round these parts.

Anyway....

I think they really suit each other. I can't imagine either of them with anyone else from this series. I just wish he'd concentrate a bit more on her footwork, which can be a bit sloppy.

I know even if I'm not her biggest supporter she has definitely won in the dress stakes! I suppose it would have been worse if it was Kellies hand me downs!

Yes, each partnership has its own unique dynamic and I think both Anita and Gleb effect how things are between them. I definitely think Glebs approach has benefits for Anita and Anita being the positive person will focus on those benefits and make it work for her, but I get the feeling (which could be wrong) that shes lost a bit of her fun, more lighthearted side that I saw from her in the first few weeks.

But I agree with you...I'd be miserable in that kind of partnership.

I agree and from the looks of this weeks training, he has purposely been working on that.

It is just his or her opinion . No more no less .
Not one other name there has verified the claim . Now , considering how celebs and press love something to have a moan about things or jazz some minor thing up into a scandal that's just very telling to me .
Not a word . That's all the proof I need .
now why doesn't that surprise me...you don't happen to live in that big river in Egypt?

You could be right - that silver monstrosity she was wearing in the opening routine last Saturday was one of the worst things ever to appear on Strictly!
