Why are some of the pros beyond crticism on here, where as others are fair game? |

Quite. I realise there are some die hard "Team GG" fans who are determined to believe that this is a genuine love story (as well as the frankly unpleasant and untrue statements about ex-rocks) but I suspect that most people realise this relationship is being milked for all its financial/careeer worth hence the stream of "spontaneous" bedroom selfies and food fights.
However, just to point out there have been absolutely no 'bedroom selfies' let alone a stream ... and Georgia has only just finished being on the Strictly Tour so even if she is auditioning as we speak any new project will not materialise until the Summer at the earliest. Yes it does appear to be a genuine love story - they have made a home together and appear to spend 24/7 together - which is rather odd if they are in any way pretending to have a relationship. Do you have any criticism of Giovanni's ability to teach dancing which got GG to the finals or are you just focussing on your pathological dislike of the pair of them which manifests itself in post after post repeating the same sort of slurs ? They looked amazing yesterday didn't they - who can blame the tabloids for featuring them ? |

You would think media coverage surrounding Giovanni and Georgia would have moved on. However it seems to be stuck in a timewarp, reporting yesterday about Strictly final night events from months ago as if it's still news, fuelled by GG's PR team and the same old cycle of their daily social media promotion of their relationship.
Why should Giovanni not be eligible for criticism on here when he continues to involve himself in the whole PR mess and seek that kind of celebrity? |

Good luck Giovanni if he tries to end their 'relationship'. He might just found out what it's like to undergo a trial by media instigated by Georgia's PR team.
Deeply unpleasant how yesterday the unfounded allegations against Sean were dredged up yet again to garner interest in GG's Strictly related appearance at an awards show. Giovanni's going to have to work hard to improve his media image as it currently consists of playing a bit part in Georgia's messy personal life. I think Giovanni's media image is fine - there seems little chance of him at present wanting to end the relationship - see his latest instagrams and tweets ! So you can rest easy on that score ![]() They didn't need any story to get media interest yesterday - their appearance was enough as they both looked amazing ! Most of the tabloids discussed that, depending which one you want to quote, some said she was besotted with him while others said he was gazing at her adoringly. The Daily Fail (so often quoted here by you and a couple of others) concentrated on her look and style : thus : "On a cold winter day, it must be hard to look red carpet ready for an awards ceremony, but Georgia May Foote was one star who got it just right. Rocking a two tone lace mini dress from iconic designer brand Self Portrait (everyone's go to brand for red carpet fashion), Georgia had just the right mix of smart and subtly sexy. Styled by Kelvin Barron, the Strictly contestant rarely puts a foot wrong (excuse the pun) in the fashion stakes, and we're already adding this dress to our spring wish list. Wouldn't it be perfect for a wedding?." How depressing for you that they are such media favourites ![]()

Regarding Giovanni's ability to teach I always wondered if Jo Clifton had far more input than we ever learnt about, particularly regarding Georgia's improvement in ballroom.
The longer serving pros were more tested by the old format where they were largely left to choreograph and teach themselves. Now there's lots of outside input with choreography and teaching so particularly with the new pros it's hard to know how much is down to them when all you see is scripted training VTs and tiny bits of edited footage on ITT. |

Just to point out so that you don't continuously make the same claims - Georgia has a very good Theatrical Agent who do not do PR on any level. They deal with acting opportunities and organise auditions etc. While actors are in soaps that Production Team will manage a certain amount of PR not the actor's Agent - it is not their field. So Georgia has no PR team ! I think you are confusing her Agency with the sort of PR Establishments and Managements that deal with glamour models and people from Towie etc. Yes do criticise Giovanni if you must but Georgia was a celeb on Strictly and therefore is rather off topic in this thread.. |

Georgia said that she couldn't stop watching Jo Clifton's videos - but made no mention of her making any other imput. |

All style no substance sums up the whole charade pretty well yes. Hopefully Giovanni will demonstrate more professional substance in his next Strictly partnership.

His name is usually just tagged with Georgia and Sean's, the only mainstream media coverage I remember about him in a professional capacity on Strictly was the Len Rumba saga. There are lots of interviews and articles about him which do not feature Georgia or her ex. He may not be your cup of tea but he is generally thought to be interesting, attractive and jolly good at dancing by us less discerning men and women. We also very much approve of how he has looked after Georgia but that is irrelevant to this thread. . |

What on earth are you talking about? You seem to have forgotten the small fact that he and his partner reached the final of ...........now what was it called? Oh yes, Strictly Come Dancing!! I seem to remember that being covered pretty well in the media! Maybe you were on holiday at the time!

Mark Wright, Chloe Madeley and half the cast of TOWIE are also 'media favourites' in the DM (basically anyone who is prepared to post endless photos of their personal business all over social media) - its hardly an exclusive club.
It is hardly GG's fault that because of their style, age and good looks they are featured in the tabloids more regularly and are given headline status. All the dancers pro and celeb were photographed leaving hotels, arriving at venues and walking along city streets during the Strictly Tour - you can find them all on Photo Agency web sites but unfortunately most of them looked most unappealing and were really badly dressed so the tabloids by and large choose not to use them. When they did show all of the cast the lead couple - just like at the TRIC Awards yesterday - were GG with more photographs of them headlining the articles. Not at all surprising as they really are both gorgeous - or strictly stunning as the Daily Fail said yesterday ... or was it the Sun with so many tabloids featuring them it is hard to remember

On your first point, doubt it, as Georgia and Giovanni were training in Manchester, not London where Jo is based. Giovanni is trained in both disciplines although he specialises in Latin. They are not exactly choreographing or training the celebs to top level competition standard in any case! Giovanni's Facebook shows that he's done quite a bit of teaching work prior to Strictly, some outside of Italy too, so i think he's OK on that front. I'm sure the pros do help each other out from time to time, we've seen it before (Anton was helping Gleb and Anita with something in some training footage, might have been the tango, I can't remember exactly).
As for your second point, I agree about seeing more training footage as in series gone by, rather than some of the silly scripted VTs we have to endure now. Some are OK but not every week. I really dislike all the tacky 'celebrity' around the pros now. That's one reason I'll miss Tristan, he was one of the few pros just there to teach and dance rather than seek personal fame. |

I'd love Strictly to go back to the original format where the pros had much more say, we got to see lots of training footage and really get to know the couples and when they walked out on to the floor it was just them, no props, dry ice or backing dancers. I know it's not going to happen though.

He needs to earn a crust like everyone else and in his profession a certain amount of self promotion is a necessity if you want to be offered high profile work. However I do agree with you about the way dances are now so staged - but then I used to enjoy 'Come Dancing' back in the day ! |

I know style is subjective, but it's interesting that you think their style is why they were featured when in most photos Giovanni was wearing baggy crotched trousers and that awful blue shiny puffa jacket - although he does seem to have been prised out of it now, so good for him
![]() but I agree with Sandy that they both did look super stylish yesterday, as did Aljaz and Janette. Even Kevin looked conservatively dapper for a change!

![]() ![]() However I am informed that the trousers are very stylish and popular with the young men around Europe - the awful puffa (or is it puffer) jacket was more than made up for by the black coat that succeeded it and Georgia managed to look very well turned out every single day. Which was a relief as a certain odd poncho/wooly hat combo appeared every day throughout the tour and didn't look good from day one. |

I've never really got the trouser thing, but they seem to be very popular with the dancers on DWTS as well - it must just be a fashion that's passed me by.

Her relationship with Giovanni appears to still be Georgia's only 'career' at the moment along with clinging on to every last sparkle of Strictly fame she can.
It will be interesting to see who Giovanni's next Strictly partner is, whether the partnership shows him in a new light and to see if he can really make a name for himself as a dancer and teacher on the show rather than most comments being about his love life! I only feel ..... for the ...... who worship these people. Sorry for the blanked out post. Some people can dish out but can't take it. |

Don't think that is totally true about Tristan - who I also like a lot.

Now, if you want someone to criticise, I give you Jason Gilkison (sp?), the props, backing dancers, naff pro dances all kicked off when he joined. I've seen Burn the Floor and loved it but I'm not keen at all on his influence on SCD. |
