I thought we were trying to leave Katie Price out of this?

I love Alijaz and really like Janette the person, but this is too much!

Is this in OK? Did Pduh help broker the deal?

And Lilia would champion the "never ever done this in their life before" celeb, so it evens itself out
To be fair Darren had his share of duffers, Lilia never had a contender so Darren has more experience of how hard people have to work in relation to prior dance experience.

On an unrelated note, I'm deeply unappreciating the fanwarz raging out there. So many viciously personal threads. Was it this bad last year? I can't remember....

I think the whole 'best dancer' versus 'never danced before' fight is MUCH worse this year. I know Pixie and Natalie got a lot of stick in the last two series but it seems a much bigger issue this time around.

I loved the Georgia & Giovanni thread today because everyone could have an opinion without being shouted down or groups of fans being attacked, it was so refreshing.


But as this thread is against moaning about other threads I'll say no more

Unappreciating the amount of filler in ITT this week I don't know why they can't invite an old celeb back from this series to discuss their time on the show now the dust has settled. I'd love to hear Jeremy or Daniel's opinions now.

Trouble is, I am really beginning to struggle with the fact that she who has never ever danced can perform feats of athleticism to music, albeit music that may as well be playing in the background for all the artistic interpretation of it, but is still by far the weakest dancer left in. Yet...... We are being sold the idea that because she has not danced previously, this should be enough reason for her to win. Dammit... I want someone to win who can at least dance with a semblance of technique in addition to artistic interpretation. Any of the other 4 would be worthier winners..

And, yes, I know this is all deeply unimportant in the grand scheme of things, but the relentless hyping of no experience as a justification for the win on ITT was annoying to say the least. I think what irks me at this stage of the competition is the relentless marketing of each competitor's production storyline as a means to tell us how to vote and who is a worthy winner. Nothing guaranteed more to make me go any other way.

Phew. Sorry. Rant over. Didn't realise the extent of the unappreciation I was feeling...

We always tend to be a haven when it gets rough out there. Usually it's the arguing that gets rough, this time it's the browbeating. 🙄🙄🙄

But hey ho, we've got tin hats, spare pashminas and alcohol on the way, we'll survive

Good idea. I'm obsessed with watching Jay's rumba in black & white slowed down to half speed. I really need a different hobby 😳😁

There's a black & white version out there? I just got lost on youtube as after watching the rumba it decided to autoplay Jive, Tango, Salsa, and Argentine Tango. They've definitely improved their autoplay intelligence

Unappreciating that tomorrow I have a room full of presents to wrap. I'm ok once I start but just looking at the huge pile of bags looks so daunting.

Yeah, in 48 hours. a deeply unpleasant 8 hours in Bluewater with my 16 year old son. But I did make up for it by going mad at the MAC counter 😂

That reminds me, I had to restock on alcohol recently... I was down to my last can after P'duh was eliminated. Thank god I hadn't been playing the 'can I just say' drinking game!

Thank you! That works surprisingly well

And whilst I'm here can I unappreciate the muppets on the ITT panel who think Jay has to gurn whilst dancing a Charleston in order to be "showing expressions"? Idiots!

EDIT: dear autocorrect gurn is not firm. Thank you!
