You is juss jellus coz you iz the one hez not shaggin'

I dont think they push for their BBC people to win, just to do well.


Is it really not Agincourt? Oh dear! You mean that Jay is not secretly Henry V?

OH I have been deceived!

They've made a big deal this year about a pro winning twice - more than I can remember in previous years when Brendan made the final again. I think they really don't mind now, and would quite like a pro to win twice, because it has to happen sometime.

To be honest, I think they just want contestants that bring viewers and publicity to the show - they may have an idea who they think that will be at the start, but as it goes on and storylines develop they'll let the cards fall as they do - mind you, still think PP had a Blackpool guarantee in his contract

really... i'm just helping to keep the thread on track by pointing out most of the breathless appreciation going on here is largely imaginary... will of steel, heroic refusal to dance his jive, layers so deep and subtle than they can't be perceived except by cats or bats, or writers of lurid slash/ fan fiction

i'm happy to call him the delivery boy. he delivers a perfectly competent parcel around the floor, and occasionally (eg charleston) looks like he hasn't spent the entire time wondering the height to weight ratio of getting it over the back fence without breaking it. which is very thoughtful of him. i imagine he delivers the scouts promise before every dance.

I think Kellie is used to being an ensamble player and sees this as a job in that genre. Not saying doesn't like people or make friends, but understands once it's finished that it's onto the next ensamble.

They made a bit of a deal of it earlier when both Aliona and Aljaž were still in the running but that storyline seems to have died down now.

They gave Artem Natalie, so they can't have been too averse to the possibility. Not so sure Aliona would've been their first choice mind

i may like strictly but i'm not that metrosexual...

Once more unto the floor, dear friends, once more;
Or fill the dance off with our Strictly fallen.
In winning there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility

Cry "God for Harry, Matt and St Jay!" (and OurLeona - said with real affection.)

Awww, I'm welling up

NEVAH, in the field of saturday night entertainment, was so much owed by so many to one, unassuming, if oversized, 12 year old chemistry geek.

<sings> I vow to thee my country...

Nah didn't you hear her on ITT this week? Harry and Matt were crap and she hated every second. Jay's the only one who's really made her cu...feel like a natural woman, she swears it.

There, there...here's some Metoclopramide...feel better soon.
Oh, and jealousy will get you nowhere.

Love the little poisoned gooseberries you throw into the conversation

Who,would have thought the real man out of Matt Baker, Harry Judd and Jay would be Jay? 😱😱😱 Well, me, obviously! 😜😜😜😍😍😍

That's enough about my gooseberries thank you very much.

It his way of trying to keep our ovaries under control, it rarely works, especially not on finals day where I will either be rampaging around the board like Christopher Parker in his paso cape gloating, flicking vs and nur nur nur nur nur - ing in a very mature manner or I will be flicking my pashmina dramatically and claiming JAYWOZROBBED for the next 10 years. Either way behaving maturely is not in my vocabulary for the day and the more annoying it gets, the more I will enjoy either one. 😜😜😜😂

i decline to drink the kool aid...

Yeh but they fitted the speech. I'm not totally bothered about authenticity. I think it goes with the territory around these parts .

Unappreciating discovering a love of Masterchef Pros. I've just binge watched the semi finals. It's addictive.

I'm quite excited about the Strictly Final but in the spirit of the thread, hoping that someone falls flat on their face.

Just watching last night's ITT - unappreciating that little speech by Katie's daughters and husband for making me well up.

Also - who told Georgia that dress was a good look? That neckline looked like a straitjacket holding her arms by her sides.

How much work has Kim Wilde had done? Her face looked a bit odd?

(am only halfway through - I'm guessing there may be more crap to come...)

You're very perceptive 😂 But I thought it was one of the better episodes. Just watch out for the Friday panel though

Is Kim Wilde trying to look like Debbie Harry?
She's much younger and yet managed to look the same age, which is not how her 'work' was meant to make her look.

How much weight has Miranda lost?
Not enough. Hopefully she will lose more and actually disappear.


If she does disappear I hope she takes both Cliftons with her.

If Kevin wins I will scream and scream until I make myself sick.

LOL In our house we call him Wooden Top
