I can't even remember who Kristina was paired with this series, but there wasn't any "is she pregnant" talk floating around, was there.

I know he was dull but even Kristina managed to pull some personality out of Daniel.
Ah of course it was Daniel - thank you Monaogg - I actually really loved Daniel, greatly to my own surprise! but the start of the series seems like so long ago now, after the drama of the final.

Ah well that makes sense. Something did seem off about Tristan's attitude. Even at the launch, I had the feeling he thought he'd get someone else - maybe Helen? There had been a paparazzi photo of him and Helen laughing together outside the rehearsal studio.
But then I'm always trying to read too much into minutiae. After his exaggerated response to being paired with Jennifer, anything would have seemed understated.

Unappreciating that I'm afraid he won't be back in '16 but he did say, yet again, that Strictly was so loooonnnngggg and he also said the pros don't get paid any more if they stay longer in the show (they do in the States). I guess for him that's a good thing
Though to be fair, 9 weeks with Jamelia was great - his personal best - though he made the quarter-finals in his first series in America with Nancy Grace so I guess that's really his best. Bunch of truly crap partners though - except for Jammie and I think she was pretty lazy, especially the first few weeks.
He was lovely -- thought he'd be cooking but he just watched some guy make sausage stew and then he ate some - and some women discussed the joy of divorce parties
- anyhow, bye Tristan !!!! Fare thee well...”

Thanks for the clip Elsa but I think you're reading him wrong . He said the training is long from Aug to Dec, but he also said it's a great show and he is very lucky to be part of it, as there are lots of other great dancers out there .

Actually Daniel is not in the least bit dull - he is very witty and has a great sense of humor and often 'sends himself up'.
He recently had Kristina on as a guest on his show in Ireland

Ooh, we were spoiled in Series 7 - Katya and Natalie (and Aliona, although I know she hasn't always been everyone's favourite).
Compare and contrast to Series 8 - Jared and Robin....

Yeah I didn't express myself very well. It's just a feeling I have that he won't be back - and I was trying to console myself by thinking about him saying recently, twice, that the show was so long (thinking that if he's not back, in a way, he'll be relieved, but I don't really think he's told them he won't do it.) I hope he's on Strictly (or DWTS Oz or even USA, though I do think he's ruled out the American one ever again) because I want to keep watching him
Deeply, deeply unappreciative of this year so far, David Bowie, Alan Rickman and also though not my cup of tea Lemmie.
That's quite enough for 2016 thank you 😭😭😭😭😭

Watched a bit of Nancy Dell'ollio in zelebrity Big Brother.
She didn't let the DOTS down - the only coherent words I could make out were "I love to drink champagne" - and she wandered round the House looking more glamorous than Rita Hayworth and Lena Horne combined.
She even danced a bit.
Still appeared to be delightfully Batty.
She was voted out, so I think she's gone back into her sparkly coffin now.
Krotchtina seemed to be almost invisible.

She wasn't quiet about it.
She called everyone to gather round her and loudly announced her pregnancy.
That's the most attention she's had in the house, I think.
She won't be back on Strictly now will she.

I don't think Monaogg was meaning Kristina was quiet about it. I think she was talking about the Strictly board here on DS.
During the course of each Strictly series, there's usually a lot of speculation here as to whether or not X or Y is pregnant. It was remarkably quiet on that front this year.

Yup, you got it. In general the pregnancy speculation seemed to be confined to Jamelia of all people. Not even the regular is "Ola pregnant" comments elsewhere on the web either.
I mean on one level I would have appreciated the inevitable shitstorm that would have accompanied speculating over the contents of Kristina's womb on a humour level, but I think it's for the best we dodged that one...

Does that mean that I can't start an "Is Giovanni pregnant?" thread next year?

I'd subscribe to that thread!

Must admit, most of my 'is XXXX pregnant' thoughts this year were mostly about Pasha

yeh I know.
And I meant that SHE wasn't quiet about it. I meant she was pretty loud about it.
Strictly just won a National Television Award, and right there, right behind Tess, were.................................. you guessed it, Peter Andre and Kellie Bright!!!

I know they are the ones who aren't rehearsing in Birmingham for the tour, but
At least lovely Carol was on the sidelines...
And Carol and Brendan! The only ones available I imagine. Kellie was already there for EE in a decent dress for a change. Pity it was black!

Mind you, she did take over for the Eastenders one. It would have been funny if she did the same with the Strictly one.
