Bittersweet, but so proud...

It's just lovely, jnb, that you get to know how much Becks was loved and admired by all those who knew him.

There's a definite similarity to be seen there

I noticed some new Jay fans don't know about WIJ nor the videos, so decided to post them on McGuinessDaily, since the man himself won't show any love to social media haha.

Also, just thought you'd like to know that WIJ is not Jay's girlfriend, as it was rumoured for a long while when the twitter account got opened. Can't say who it is, but I wanted to share that with you. Even Jay himself has been WIJ sometimes, but I'm guessing some of you knew that

PS Saw that pic of Jay and the fan that was posted on twitter yesterday... but the girl's tweet before that pic had been posted on January! What a better way to make a comeback on twitter than with Jay, right? ”

Oh, do tell!

But then, we're all WIJ!

Pairing up - After the launch I drew Jaliona in the work sweepstake. Thought "Hmm, sweet guy but that walk and the group number. Hrmph, there goes my stake."

Cha Cha - Oh, very nervous but that looks promising, maybe I won't be first out.

Waltz - Wow, those spins! *sits up and takes a bit more notice"

Jive - Eeeeeeek! How did he do that?I'm not parting with my stake money so easily after all!

QS - Oops, setback. Start of the rollercoaster.

I think I really started supporting Jay and Aliona properly half way through the waltz in my "sit up and take notice" moment, because the smile didn't leave my face for the rest of that dance. I know lots of others on here followed Jaliona from that week too.”

I struggled against total investment until jive week, but really he had me at "you're quite cruel, aren't you?"

Oh definitely! I loved all of those early glimpses of his personality, but at the time I was more focussed on hard cash!!

I don't remember much training vids, but with so many couples to cover they're brief anyway. So to the performance. I was not too keen on J's hair but knowing how literal War Drobe can be... Thought Aliona looked fab though.

Off they start & once they start jiving the first thing I notice is J's body positioning. So often the celebs are very upright & it all looks a bit laboured. This was different, an easy loose limbed grace Then a little nod of the head into THOSE what I now know are spinning kick ball changes, ending right on the beat WOW.

The music changes & they go even faster – so completely synchronous, sharp, professional. The side by side moves are amazing how high off the floor is he bouncing? The timing & phrasing are brilliant – musicality even better than last week. The audience are already going wild well before the end. Did I really see what I think I saw?? The judges seemed stunned Bruno is mad as ever & even a genuine reaction from Craig. And in the midst of all the furore a slightly dazed & bemused Jay.

I didn't yet know about re-watching the dances on YouTube but there was a review on my phones news feed on the Sunday with a link to the dance so I watched it again ( & again & again!). It was even better – if it had been a pro routine you would have thought it amazing let alone a pro/celeb combo in week 3!!!

This was the dance that made me think J was quite tall – he seemed very long limbed in this one, with a lean torso & Aliona appeared to be wearing particularly high heels. So I googled him for the first time. Hmm 6'1 should he really be able to jive like that????

What would next week bring.....”

Love this, Whiffle. That loose limbed action and the way he uses his shoulders (we got a good look at that in the VT) is so cool and relaxed, most unlike most frantic SCD jives. What a mover that man is! Oh to be an aggressive Russian blonde...

Rosaportal
I suppose now we have to reframe Where is Jay? to Who is Where is Jay?

I don't suppose it's his sister.....or maybe one of the make up artists he's friendly with?

So not that I'm asking who WIJ is....but do YOU know who she is ?
Also the photos with her (?) outside the Vegas Wedding Chapel, was that real or a wind up?
And the photos of rumpled beds, bras etc taken & tweeted by her......???

I'm just intrigued

Honestly! WIJ has gone MIA even more than Jay, now! Not his sister nor the makeup artists

Edit: Woops! Read that as "WHERE is Where is Jay". Didn't have enough sleep this week. Sorry!

I do, yes. One of Jay's friend's told me. Can't tell anyone, of course, sadly. But letting people know that WIJ is not Jay's girlfriend doesn't really mean I didn't keep the secret, right?

Nah, those pics and others when he's on a bed or shirtless are just to see people's reactions. Pretty sure some of those were Jay's ideas. He always approved the pics and tweets before they were posted and you know the guy likes to confuse people

The bra pic? I guess you're referring to this one? Those are from Lauren Chavez, when Jay crashed at her and her friends' place.

Agreed! and definitely not TMI which it took me a while to work out

Not in a million years, you know he values what his fans think and feel about him.

I do think he likes to have fun sometimes and tweet things that he knows will get a massive response, but then that is no different from all of us really - I know I have tweeted things to see what response I get

* I can read your mind, Hannah

Work is impinging on my posting time tonight, so I'll just leave two short homework assignments and thank Fred for the links, as usual.

Caveman walk, hah hah hah
Nervous talk, wah wah wah
Hairy teddy, rah rah rah
Dancer ready, cha cha cha

---------------------------------------

In the lexicon of dance
The waltz is romance
With lyrical poise
He spins and enjoys
Her beautiful charms

Completely OT, but this is so cool

I do realise that probably only my fellow Dr Who companion TT will appreciate it, oh maybe Ahouch too - think of all those lego bricks that your little darlings could leave around for you to stand on

I think so too.

Mischievous but never malicious - he seems far too respectful for that.

Max is flying back to the UK for six weeks according to the Daily Fail and his girlfriend's Tweets.

DVO also in the DF about her appearance on Lorraine. No mention of BIG or Jay.
