Oh I have always known this and his most unpleasant trait has been to encourage us the audience to laugh AT his celebrities.

This year he is happy with his celeb so he is encouraging others to laugh at other things,

His behaviour towards Nancy, Jerry and Fiona Fullerton was extremely unpleasant.

This year he seems better because his subversion isn't directed towards his celeb.


You're right, he's kinder this year than in previous years and he's often making himself the butt of the joke which I don't remember too often in the past.

He likes Srtictly but doesn't realise there is a whole lot of stuff going on around it. Thinks you watch the programme on a Sat and that's it.
Where are the man's priorities?? Perhaps a baptism of fire could be an approach.Alternatively, just crack open the laptop and direct him to Monkseal's blog... So frustrating to watch the show with others who look on blankly while one mutters about rigathons, Jameliagate etc with all the obsessive attention of the soopahfan..

Of course we remember it 🙄

We talk about it all the time, it's the serial killer, hair sniffing, Morris dancing AT. Every time we need to refer to a dance that explains our disdain, it's that AT or the Vorderumba 😉

Please remove that link. Anyone with selective amnesia could click on that and be severely traumatised. Why would you do that?

That's received wisdom in some quarters, but it's not a view I've ever espoused. We all perceive things differently.
Actually it's not received wisdom , because I witnessed it frequently with my own eyes, you may espouse any Veiw you like however it doesn't mean that you are right, things are not always about perception

I could say, I perceive my child's art work to be superior than Leonardo da Vinci, I would however be emphatically wrong.

In the case of Anton, his bad manners towards his previous partners are a matter of public record, and I don't hold that manners have any shades of grey, either you treat people correctly and well or you don't. To be rude to or about someone you are supposed to be teaching is the very definition of bad manners.

Judging by the picture on Twitter, Jay is in a checked shirt (possibly one of his own ) and Katie's wig was left out over night and the rats have been at it

Is there anything of that wig left to tinker with? It's been styled for Aliona, Janette, Georgia and now Katie. No wonder it looks like it has mange

Unappreciating that the Anita love seems to be coming back... each to their own and all that but I quite liked not being in a tiny minority by finding her annoying and massively overrated.

I still think her "AT" will be woeful and it will be at least partly her fault.

Good luck to wardrobe getting both Aliona and Georgia back into it (particularly the former), assuming they both make the final and do the jive/Charleston again.

*pictures Aliona* You want me to put that back on? (eyes roll so far back they come out of her mouth)

I don't dislike her - I just don't like the partnership with Gleb and I'm not keen of the 'never danced before' trope that keeps being wheeled out. Would also like her to stop approaching the dances like things to check off a to do list. Anita, away from Gleb, seems much lighter and up for a laugh.

It's another to add to my long list of 'prefer them not-dancing'

It comes and goes with me, she was with Jay on ITT last night, I liked her, no Gleb on ITT on Thursday (?) and she didn't annoy me too much, she was a bit super competitive though. Do an annoying Gleb special horlicks of an AT that scores 10s with the judges and she's right back on my hit list 😂

I tend to be of the same opinion as you Fuschia, I've never felt Anton was being malicious or nasty to any of his celebrity partners.

Just to clarify there are two black wigs, the short one that Anita wore for her AS in week 3, Janette for her Charleston week 7 and today Katie.

Then the one that Aliona wore for her jive week 3 and Giorgia in week 8 for her Charleston.

I think the Donobot AT might meet its match tonight though...

The strictly twitter posted a pic of Gleb with handcuffs, dressed as a policeman, I may have rolled my eyes so hard they nearly fell out of my head.

I imagine there's plenty of swooning going on. As long as the emergency services aren't overwhelmed. There's enough flooding as it is.

Good lord, if this for the AT, should we start worrying now? Horrible feeling this is going to be staging over content. Be afraid, be very afraid.

It's another Anita - Presence Optional routine, isn't it?

Do you think Gleb is just using Strictly as an audition for The Chippendales?

This song is alllllllll about the women, so I'll be interested to see if Gleb steals focus.

It does sometimes feel like he's trying to flog his tacky calendar every bit as much as Ola ever did...

At least Anita has the chance to act out any acts of violence she has imagined towards Gleb during training under the cover of it being part of the dance.

'He ran into my knife 10 times' - Anita stands at judges table looking innocent. Gleb lies on floor unconscious. Audience are all on their feet thinking it's another Gleb special.
