I actually can imagine Kevin being the type that you just think after asking many times, ok I will say eyes to a date and that will be it. Then you go out and you laugh a little and have a decent time. Then he asks you out again and you say yes because you can't think a good reason to say no at the time. And little by little, he becomes part of the landscape of your life and you have no heart to cut him off. And by that time, you have developed some sort of feelings towards him anyway.

Alex Jones

We also had:

Afghan - Camilla Dallerup - so called for the breed of dog being willowy, tall and long blonde hair.

Wiggy - Darren Bennett - his hair looked suspiciously syrup-like.

Ourleona - Aliona. I think Brucie mispronounced her name.

Ricky Nipple - Ricky Whittle

Alibot- Ali Bastian.

Bobby -Robin Windsor.
It was Tess I think, made funnier by the northern stereotype of people calling friends/relatives our (insert name) & parodied in Peter Kay's Britains got the pop factor (etc) with R Wayne as a contestant who gets through after the death of R Gran gives him a better sob story

Others-

Count Fortuna- Obvious one but Brian Fortuna, Count because he had the look of the Count from Sesame Street.

Tiny Tina/Tiny O'Brien- Tina O'Brien, because Tess felt we needed to be reminded how small she was all of the time.

I have a vague recollection that before she became the Goddess, Natalie was Tina Sparkle, after the Strictly Ballroom character, for her perceived Ultra competitiveness.

You know what, everyone has their own taste. If she wasn't with Kevin she would probably be with someone just like him. He's her type. It cannot be explained! My best friend's husband makes my skin crawl, but she adores the ground he walks on. I don't see it, but they are very happy.

That's a nice way of looking at it

Oops

The point stands. We all have our own tastes. I don't know what Janette sees in Aljaz

The Kellie who dances with all of the subtlety and grace of a drunk being thrown out of a pub at closing time you mean? 😱

And choreographed by Kevin with all of the sensuality and sex appeal of Boris Johnson in speedos? 😱

Yep, it's going to be epic and not in a good way, plus she'll be dressed in a housecoat, curlers and furry slippers with a fag dangling from her mouth. I'm welling up already 😢😢😢
Reading this before breakfast explains the phrase "Morning sickness"

Ann Widdecombe is that Widdecombe woman to me. I do not defile the initials BOD with her.

There was something about Harry being a geography teacher? Or was it just that he seemed to be rather geography-teacherish at heart?

What was Denise Van Outen? I remember DeKnees, but I'm sure there was more to it than that.
Denise Van Ringer ("I only sat on a chair")

The question is,

Is this how Karen sees him in her head?

Or

Is this how Kevin sees him in his head and has managed to hypnotise Karen to see him like this?

Or

Is this the real Kevin and he hides behind SCD Kevin as he knows the real Kevin, one dressed like this would be laughed off SCD as an idiot?

Given what we have seen of his goth stage photos I am going towards option 3 and SCD is a carefully contrived persona to hide behind. But really YUK what the hell!

No wonder he doesn't dare bring this persona to work and has to be perennially twee as to do anything else would be too scary
I remember the vid of him proposing to Karen on stage and he was in this full length stormtrooper black leather coat - he just looked rather silly, as though he were furtively trying on the cool boy's coat before the cool boy came back and caught him.

That Fail pic of him in black leather is faintly disturbing, its crinkly texture reminds me of a pair of black vinyl "kinky boots" which I had in the 4th year of junior school (obligatory wear in 1972 - the cool girls had white ones) mum was no doubt relieved they were cheaper than leather so overrode her usual objection to anything "trendy" but the downside was that the feet couldn't breathe so they soon developed a not so trendy smell.

They fault find again and she'll go through, they give it the "that was a very nice attempt dear" damning with faint praise, 2 or 3 points lower than the rest and she's toast imo
God I hope so to the latter scenario. Now if only Craig could be persuaded to overmark her tactically rather than waving the 6 paddle and hissing quite justifiable critique like a pantomime villain... You'd think they know nothing about flushing the worst dancer after all these years.. A little bit of self restraint is all it takes. After all, what price integrity in other weeks? (PP anyone?)

In my context I used it to mean actually physically turning up at her door with forms to fill in, rather than just sending letters
Hi copper top

Just another thought.... Your relative/ you could also make it clear that she will not be leaving them any money in her will. After a certain age charities become voracious about pursuing donors for legacies...and this may be - sorry, no disrespect to your relative - why they are executing a big marketing push..

I guarantee you damning with faint praise is the way they'll go.

My guess is the won't mark Jay down now in the semi's.

They'll damn Anita with faint praise and given that she has a salsa which should be good for her, they'll put her above Katie I think
This will energise Katies fans and Georgia will have bounceback Jay will probably be safe so that should lead to Kellie V Anita

If we get Kellie V Katie I doubt the producers will be worried either but that's my call. J&G top 2 Kellie 3rd Anita 4th Katie 5th

Come off it. I don't think even Strictly bosses think they can get away with claiming Anton's never danced before.
Hilarious

Though sometimes it may well appear that way...

You came in here, we had the decency to answer you politely. Flouncing is what we, in here, call it when we're disappointed that our favourite wozrobbed.
Please go somewhere else if you're going to swear at us.

I'm not swearing at you I'm swearing at Strictly.

Deeply deeply UNappreciating, close to suicidal, unappreciating the fact that the TTF is going to be allowed near the wonderful brilliant voice of Eva Cassidy

Sorry, but I have pulled her up on yt and listening to her atm ............. she brings tears to my eyes every time and I adore Songbird. I can listen to it on repeat.
I shall have a nervous breakdown if he so much as fukks with the arrangement.
If it makes you feel better, technically he'll be dancing to the voice of Emogirl82 on Saturday.
Shep, I feel the same about Montserrat Caballe's tenderly girlish (yes she does girlish very well, she has that twinkle in her eye and girlish soul) version of O Mio Babbino Caro being Strictlified and Antoned. She's a DOT, see how her eyes light up at that little bottle of booze they give her at the end!

Wasn't sure where to post this, but it's an interesting article about Russian dancers on Strictly.

And the pic is of course of Gleb ... the weediness of his beard is at odds with how sexy he thinks he is, it's more like teenage bum fluff than full manlymanmanman.

Here you go - not a DM link: http://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/...hoto/500241130


Karen looks great, but I don't get the matchy, matchy thing. Or Kevin.
Matching leather jackets must be a thing.

If you scroll down to the bottom of that gallery of photos, there is a pic of Gleb and his wife in them. His leather jacket looks really really odd on him.

There is so much wrong with that outfit I'm not ever sure where to start

The camerperson should be shot. Managed to make most people look like they were completely out of proportion with at best over large heads, or worst skinny legs on normal torsos.

Kevin should always wear glasses. His face needs them.

So there.


Course you're not, but we reserve the right to laugh and point 😜

I like Kellie, Kevin scares me, I don't ever want to climb inside his head

For all the taunts of manboy, Jay can grow more in a day than Kevin, Pasha, Gleb, Brendan and Aljaz put together in a month.

Facial hair people, facial hair 🙄😜😜😜

This is the problem I have. It's such a well known aria everyone will have a version in their head, be it Caballe or Te Kanawa or Callas etc etc. As I said on another thread, I'm investing in some ear defenders before the weekend.

And definitely more than Craig in a week, judging by his panto fuzz.

OMG yes. Stubble just long enough to be soft not prickly *swoon* but Gleb just can't do it!
