Never really understood why anyone goes to all the trouble (or the angst) of putting any of them in any sort of ringah-ness bracket in the first place

You look at Aliona and her facial performance level has always been at the Jay end of the scale. I'd put Aljaz, Pasha, Oti, Anya, Giovanni on the understated end and even Gleb, for all his over the top Choreography, he dances with a very bland look on his face.
I'd consider Natalie, Pasha, Brendan, Anton and Ola, for all her starfishes and knee slides, somewhere in the middle, they can gurn, but it's not permanent.
It's only really the Cliftons, Janette and the worst, Kristina, who give me nightmares with their scary dance face. Jwanne is learning to tone it down, I think, Janette too.

Definitely Kristina and Kevin for the worst - Kevin is also starting to seriously irritate with his exaggerated singing every week.

Me too - a train driver or a private investigator. Disney princesses are just too passive for me. Muggsy is a nickname given to me by an ex who reckoned I'm like a gangster when crossed - no sleeping for 100 years for me, or keeping house for a bunch of dwarfs waiting to be rescued by a prince. I take matters into my own hands.

I couldn't care less about dance background
- I'm just trying to understand how or why people differentiate between Katie's and Anita's.

Contact the local Neighbourhood Watch and community policing teams as well. They can/usually do have procedures in place which can be used to stop doorstepping.

I was rung up by a youth charity, and when I said I was not going to give a monthly amount the caller asked me why not, and when I said I haven't got the money she still carried on trying to guilt me into it. I think contacting the charities in question threatening media exposure is the way to go, as high up as necessary.
Jay's on Celebrity Juice on Thursday, I shall be staying in here all day Friday with the curtains shut and in full armour 😜😂

I'm glad I'm only a middle-of-the-road fan of Jay and not a rampant squeeing fangirl, because if I were the latter I'd have to watch it and I utterly detest that cringeworthy Keith Lemon persona, to the point he makes me feel vaguely nauseous.
*wonders if he's related to Peter*...

Again thanks for the advice, I am mid full flow emailing ,letter, and phoning.
Everyone expresses shock and horror, promises no more contact ever , we shall see!
3 more charities to go, back to the slog, huh!

I think I'm going to watch with the sound off 😳😂
As per usual, my poor 16 year old son is my excuse, he loves it and to be honest it is a couple of steps up from Geordie Shore, which I shall be tortured with tonight, and TOWIE.

What is the appeal of these shows? (no offence to your lad), I see adverts for the likes of Geordie Shore and they come across really loud and obnoxious?

I'm a Geordie (albeit in exile), please don't judge us all by that excrement. I even own more than one coat.
See I have always been a quiet Jay appreciator,
He is the best dancer, I like his personality, anyone who doesn't agree with me, well what's to discuss your clearly deluded😃
I defended Helen though, as she got a lot of stick often unnecessary, a lot of it inverted snobbery, a lot of it claiming that she was a bitch, and a lot of it putting down her dancing, when she was no way as bad as some claimed. She brought out my keyboard warriorship as I don't like unfairness and boy was she dealt an unfair deal last week.
Eta actually with regard to theming for many weeks.

Do you know how refreshing, she has admitted her full blown ringer ship as opposed to Anita NDB
