Finally a reasonable voice! Agree with everything. The Appreciation thread is getting filled up with people ready to turn a blind eye at obvious facts and in the same time ready to make up fantasy storylines and projected hate between contestants. So much hate, it's puzzling.
Thank you Amaluna! It's strange how the Strictly contestants are so huggy and happy and supportive of each other, and often talk of what great friends they all are and yet some of the viewers here are the opposite. Maybe dislike binds people together...? I loved a comment on a Jamelia thread, when it was said how she never listened to Tristan and being with her must be such misery for him and the next ITT interview with them confirmed the exact opposite. So their conjecture was completely wrong. There was so much criticism of Jamelia then - and now she's suddenly loved because of the DO comments.

Never mind, we'll be the lone viewers on DS who enjoy the show!

Tuesday: A short film of Emma visiting sick children in hospital.

Matt on the sofa with more chat about his journey.

A short discussion with the judges about the rumours that Mark eats babies. Plus a clip of Mark swearing at Karen.


Wednesday: Emma feeding starving children in Ethiopia.

Matt visiting an orphanage and teaching the children to dance and play rugby. More discussions about his 'journey'.

A short film proving that Mark was responsible for the war in Iraq. Plus a clip of him swearing at Karen.


Thursday: Emma injures her foot in training. Interview with her in hospital. Promises to wow everyone on Saturday come what may. Shots of her X Rays.

More discussions on Matt's journey (yawn).

Discussion on rumours that Mark has slept with every woman in Britain. Plus a clip of him swearing at Karen.


Friday: Emma has made a miraculous recovery. A film of her plaster cast being removed and the doctor saying what a fantastic patient she has been. Craig helps her out to his car and drives her to the studios for a live interview. He tells her not to worry about dancing this week - she was going through to the final anyway.

No Matt today - he's gone on another journey.

Grainy cctv footage of a street mugging. BBC claim the mugger resembles Mark. Invites viewers to vote yes or no. Plus a clip of him swearing at Karen.
Thank you! I will save this now. I hope amelia_lee sees this. I may have to stalk her otherwise.

I like your sense of humour Coronis.

Just caught up with yesterday's ITT. I loved the panel, especially Rufus; enjoyed all the interviews - Pasha is so sweet! - and Xander's singing was amazing.

Gleb reminds me of a young Tom Cruise, when he was all about Teh Pretty and before he became weird and Scientologisty.

And Aljaz in the tanning booth...oh heavens... *fans self* *goes to lie down in a darkened room*
Gleb much better looking than Tom hes more Errol Flynn

Yes! Well spotted. I hadn't made the connection myself but Errol Flynn, with that beard, is apposite.

I really like Gleb.

I don't hate him. I loathe him and everything he represents as a talentless, narcissistic z-list celeb. I felt the same way about Mark Wright last year and it just galls me that SCD now features these vacuous non-entities on a prime-time Saturday night show. Is that enough info for you?
Thank you. That is very informative. I don't loathe anyone, especially a person I've never met, but each to their own.

Whether you like him or not, he is a celebrity and this is about pairing pros with celebrities in any field

Well I am at the point of anyone but Peter to win . I will even go so far as to cope with a Kellie and Kevin win if it means Peter doesnt
One of the most insincere , rehearsed people on Strictly
And his dancing is sh!te . He danced them all like he had lead soled Doc Martins on
I have a feeling that Janette Manrara will be rewarded next year. She'll get someone like Max Whitlock or Adam Gemili or Owen/Lewis Harrison

Rewarded? I know she's having to put up with someone people find annoying but the reality is she was paired with someone who was probably regarded as favourite at the start of the series. I'm not convinced the Pasha rule should apply and she gets given contenders until she wins

Thank you Coronis for this, I laughed so much last night but was sad to see it gone completely today.

Thanks Maggie for asking for it here too.

I'm her to unnapreciate the plethora of 'Jamelia wuz robbed' threads.

Not that I don't think she was, because yeah she danced better than Petey that night, but anyway I don't totally understand the dance off because no one has yet explained whether it's just judged on that nights dances or on the competition as a whole. So, I dunno who or what was technically right. I'm not that bothered that she's gone, I'll admit that, I know it was baaaadly handled though and I anjoy that fact that the other competitors can see that too.

As I posted this in another thread...

...the mistakes that the production made keep on adding because Jamelias Goodbye video has amusingly been mislabeled 'Goodbye Jeremy' ..Oops...

and not only that. Notice how the celebs and pros, who usually stick faithfully to the script. 'Oh he/she is such a lovely person'..'I'll miss their smile..' 'we're all a family' are having none of that guff tonight.
Nope. virtually all of them mention how great Jamelias final dance was, with some being bolder than others. The pros comments are particularly revealing

and special props to Giovanni who goes so wildly off 'Strictly' script that he's virtually calling the judges wrong. You in trouble boy
Presumably the have to judge the Dance Off by the performance of the night. But in reality it gives them right to chose the more promising contestant to go on. Maybe if both performances are somehow equal (which was not Peter's case.) Hence the controversy.

What did Giovanni say?

Sorry Amuluna I edited my post because I actaully put this in the wrong thread But to bring it back to ITT. The show does give us the insight of pros and others in the know but it's almost universally positive 'jiving their socks off in Blackpool' because it's really a puff piece for the main show. And that's fine, wher it does lack is where there is a major controversy like this and fans don't get a chance to see what other professionals really think, but I suppose that can't realistically change.

You do get a sense of what they thought in Jamelias Goodbye video though. where Giovanni and to be fair Jay and Kevin don't agree with the decision (IMO anyway) but just have to go along with it anyway.

I noticed when the result was given that Kevin looked very glum, and he has the same expression in that 'Goodbye Jamelia' video - loved his comment about how much Jamelia had improved and how to him that is what the show is about. I love their honesty and I think nearly all of them make it obvious that Jamelia's dance was brilliant.

Or instead of baby Jay worming his way in amongst the pros and being a little crawler, they all actually just really like him, enjoy his company and wanted him to be there?
I'd say that's more like it! Aliona and Tristan also said on ITT last night how much they like him
