True. It's a pretty ugly word but swearing in Spain is so commonplace that it appears to be less ugly than in England.

Funnily enough, I think I have said the j swear word (f in English) about three times in my live, yet in f word in English somehow I say it not often but certainly more than three times a year.

Actually yes she does, she is one of the 2 weakest dancers now, she should go out in the right order which should be this Saturday or the next, if she goes then she won't get the hot potato drop Mark had to endure.

And also she won't have to endure X was robbed by the dozen threads if she knocks out one of the better dancers.

She can go back to being an excellant presenter and I hope this show has the same boost to her career that Chris Hollins had.

Swearing involves the limbic system in almost the same way as sounds of pain or joy or disgust, so I guess you have to be really natural in a foreign language to get that wonderful feeling of release. If you have to think it and translate it, you're not speaking right out of the amygdala.

Boring factoid from me: that's why stammerers are often able to swear more fluently than with other categories of speech. (A different area of brain supports the attempt.)
Definitely pushing my luck in offering 'further reading'

I think Gleb thinks that everyone in England are moch budr with his obsession with floor bothering and sweeping.

No clues to the language😃

I think swearing is one of those things that has to be in your mother tongue to work. What is they say we return to our mother tongue to swear, count and somethng or another.

I don't say the C word in English because it is too much of a taboo and it makes me baulk to say it. I don't say it Spanish because it serves no purpose because it invokes no emotional response in me, so it is sort of redundant. But I can articulate it in Spanish and in English I really struggle to even utter it.

Not boring at all. Are you a Speech therapist?

Actually you have shot from nowhere right up the league table of favourite posters for me. Not just this post you had already caught my eye in a good way.

Aw, you actually made me blush! No, I'm not a speech therapist, I'm just a greedy greedy reader of anything that interests me. I do enjoy the brain. It sits there in our heads and does stuff we're only half aware of. It knows things that we don't… and I love this paradox because while it's true that the mind is bigger than the brain, who would have guessed that the brain is also bigger than the mind?

I am the same. Anything to do with human beings, their evolution, development and behaviour fascinates me. Language especially butr mostly because it is out there in a way that so much of what the brain does isn't.

Very probably because I could point out that I not sure that sanctimonious was the word you were looking for. Now that is me being a pedant, and going by the Collins dictionary, so I not sure where I am affecting a show of piety or displaying holiness,

However you can feel what ever you like about me ( though I and several other posters have already pointed out, this board is for discussing the show. ,not other posters. )

I was rather hoping that I had portrayed that I really don't care what you think about what I feel about Anita. I am entirely allowed to feel like it when and however I like. I would really rather that in the the unappreciation thread I was allowed to unappreciate in peace.

And actually as a sop I have appreciated Anita in here just recently.

We are a very funny and interesting animal. (Almost as good as dogs or horses. ) And it's kind of satisfying that even though we're supposed to be this wonderfully intelligent being, most of what we can do is hidden from us -- not in any mystical way -- we just aren't aware of our own processes or potential. I like that obscurity at the centre. God, and that's just ourselves. By the time you get on to other folk…

Bravo Aggs, saved me typing out pretty much the same thing

I unappreciate that Kellie isn't getting this dress. What on earth are they putting her in this time?

I'll take a wild guess at something that does her no favours whatsoever

I can't believe I'm saying this, but...

...I'm really, really looking forward to Kellie's VW, and think it could be our first 40.

I must be ill!

Kellie? 40? I want some of what you've been drinking 😂😂😂

I wouldn't mind if she does, but I think Georgia is more likely 😉

I just have a sudden gut feeling about her dance. It might not be a stereotypical VW, but the music, theme, and Kellie herself could combine to make something extremely memorable (for good or bad). Plus, I've a feeling the judges will Snowdon her into the Final...

Or is it just that they'd like to see her go out gracefully with a showstopper?

I am beginning to think that the final will be Jay, Helen, Georgia and Anita.

Totally agree.

Then there is the danger of Kellie being the next Jamelia with more controversy.

Me too. Our only hope is that JoeVarney is forced into full Beast makeup as that would, at least, be hilarious

It would be the pinnacle of all the awful dresses she's had. that this one tries to injure/kill her by having a mains cable trailing after her!

I keep wondering whether the real reason behind the lip is a failed attempt at the shot glass challenge that loads of teens were doing on FB a while back

Agreed. She has gone as far as she can from a dance point of view and I can't really see her improving much more.

This of course is not helped by Gleb not actually bothering to teach her any technique and just getting her through each dance (as she has admitted herself).

She and Katie are the weakest dancers and it would be fairer for them both to go over the others.

I think Anita has rallied support because of the relentless 'never danced before/starting from scratch' storyline and the 'journeeee' that some love so much.

At this stage it really gets very tiresome and is no longer relevant.

Some people will always resent and rail against a natural talent like Jay or Helen. It's a kind of back-handed jealousy of someone who shines too brightly. It was ever thus, in all walks of life, including business. The old Tall Poppy syndrome.

I'd rather see her back in her job where she truly shines - as a brilliant presenter.

I shouldn't laugh at someone with an allergic reaction, but I'm going to In my defense I have a completely weird arse reaction to Avon stuff and come out in strange orange blotches if I ever use it, and I'm not talking looking like a fake tan's gone a bit blotchy, I'm talking the Strictly version of orange



Jay with safety pins, PP's pooling round his ankles. Jeremy was bloody luck his weren't half way up his legs now I think about it.

I'm living in hope, having looked at images from the film, that Jay will be providing his own outfit tomorrow, checked shirt, jeans and a waistcoat pretty much covers it, I'm sure he'll even let them sew the odd sequin on.

I can't remember ever seeing Kellie's outfits during the dresses previews on ITT. I assumed they never actually make her a dress, just ask her to pick up something from the charity reject bin on her way to the studio on Saturday evenings.

That waltz outfit was previewed, with the skirt, even Vicky Giggles seemed apologetic about it and said they might change it, but apparently Kellie gave it the okay

Her dress for Saturday should be so simple, base it on the film outfit and bung a few sequins on, but it won't be that, will it
