I sort of feel [through gritted teeth] let him win the damned thing and be done with it. I don't mind Louise. She is a bit wet but harmless.

Greyson really is the most boring man in the world to watch in an interview, isn't he? I'd forgotten. He talks as though he's a character from some weird kind of fairytale where he was cursed to only use words from one specific self-help book and now every time he goes to talk, he has to skim his memory to suitable words that he can re-arrange and put into a new sentence.
I did love Ellie's initial reactions to his performance. She had blatantly never heard that song before in her life and I'm not sure she was terribly impressed by it.
Last week? I thought Louise's audition for Calamity Jane went pretty well and Claudia seemed to thoroughly enjoy her time at the school fete getting her face-painted. Oti and Danny should just give up on individual dances and put on some dance-based plays instead, I think they'd both enjoy it. My only memory of Ore's foxtrot is the flower backing dancers. What happened there? Did someone send the wrong memo to the costume department so they prepped for waltz of the flowers and by the time they realised their mistake, it was too late so everyone just had to style it out?”

I wasn't so sure about Louise's audition. Calamity Jane appeared to have become Gentility Jane and the Deadwood Stage seemed to have transmogrified into a Vauxhall Zafira with child seats.
Anyone who thinks TTF winning this year will be the end of it is being naive. TPTB will then want him to be the first male pro to win twice

He needs a chip upgrade. He's still on v2.1.5, and the newest bots are on v2.4.8.

Jason Donovan, sorry. He was on the Friday panel yesterday. Most boring man in the world so Jason became Greyson on here during his series.

I know what you mean and then I watched ITT yesterday evening and I am now wanting him to keel over with a sudden bout of appendicitis right now would be perfect timing.
I thought both he and Karen were truly awful, I had forgotten how annoying Karen can be, see that's what you get when you go out early you are not so instantly shudder worthy.
I suppose he had better win, I just hope Neil and Katya could become the next big thing, Neil is
but at least he knows how ridiculous he is and is quite self depreciating.
We've got a female Tory PM and Jason Donovan was singing "Too Many Broken Hearts" on ITT last night. I suddenly felt like I'd traveled back in time to 1989.

I honestly think May is as mad as Thatcher, do you have to be clinically insane to be a female PM.
Just for once could we have someone female and sane, sensible things may get done

I think so. She is a bit mental.
The worst thing is they get away with it because anyone who criticises them gets called sexist. E.g. when the Mirror said how can she say she represents normal people when she wears £1000 trousers casually. May immediately called them sexist and questioned whether they'd write about how much a male PM's suit cost. Mirror's response? "Yes, actually, we wrote several articles about Cameron's £4000 suits..."

I think you could make a valid arguement for any of the top 4 winning.
At the minute, all I really want is for Danny to finish in the top 2 so I can see all his dances. Anything after that is a bonus. I appreciate this makes me a jellus hata and possibly vile to boot, but thems the breaks and I'll just have to cope (even though non-Strictly Ore seems perfectly pleasant, Clowdier is a smashing lass and Louise rather lovely).

I thought the three finalists were doing all three dances. One show with a winner and the other two joint runners up.
Sighs, £4000 suits £ 1000 trousers, how, why.
Trousers are the most boring bit of attire, they encase legs that's it!
I bet they are black, plain black £1000 trousers 😭
Talking of which I didn't think much of any of the dresses on Vicky giggles outing as for poor Danny jacket being Artems then dirtied then partially sequinned then vomited all over in sequins.

Really - oh, boo.
Was looking forward to actually knowing the podium placings for a change.

This sounds only too plausible.

You wait until he has won and he's still being paired with ex girl banders and stage school trained soap poppets

Oh yessss! He does things to me. Very sardonic.

My only consolation at the likely prospect of him winning was that he would have to be first boot next year.... maybe if Karen is preggers next year (pure tabloid and totally unwarranted speculation on my part) and Jo is treading the boards, the Clifton phenomenon might lose its cache. Pasha had a similar run, and now taken a back seat.
Come on Doti and Cloudier 👏🙌 Where's a cheer leading emoji when you need one??

You get the feeling if he wins once then TPTB will push for him to be the first male pro to win twice. And then we'll never get rid of him. He'll be the Derek Hough of Strictly (except without the talent, looks, charisma, charm, wit and niceness).
