Thanks for the link!

Just having a laugh over coffee now.

the Jaypet Army with the burning torches. This is supposed to be us.

Hannah I completely agree with everything you've mentioned, you compare I know we shouldn't really but I can't help it.. but if you really compare the two even though jays was done week 2 I think his posture was superior to Ore now I think the main reason for this could as you say be the fact that Joanne extends her top line up to the point for me it's super painful to watch but hey she's the show dance champion in ballroom so... she made ore look like the amateur he is you know but Aliona knows not to extend her top line as Joanne did she made sure to let Jay stand out in that dance and he certainly did.

Aliona had the right amount of extending the top line thus why I think her waltz and all her other waltzes just looked glorious.

You mean you don't look like this?

We will defend the honour of our Lord and Master Jaypet.

We will slay any Lens that cross our path.

We will never be defeated, just try to cross us Mighty Monkseal and see who is victorious.

I think I better go and have a little lie down now - pity I'm at work

we look beautiful and frightening. It is all good fun.

Forgot to say in last nights long post that I am getting seriously annoyed by the inane and totally random VT's. How did eating in the dark help Daisy's Charleston? Danny at the circus tightrope walking have anything to do with the Rumba? The one that really p#ssed me off was Louise's trip to PARIS, for gods sake. They were Rumbaing across a road. We are paying for that twaddle in our license fee TPTB are having a larf, but I don't think it's very funny. What is next? When Louise or Ore get the Argentine Tango will we see them in Buenos Aires? Fume! Fume!
OT just saw Sir Roger Moore on tv. He was really lovely, just wonderful. So self-depreciating, humble, funny and at almost 90 he still had that very attractive twinkle in his eyes ( reminded of a much older version of someone we know ) Loved him.

What annoys me most about the VTs is not that they are unfunny and not the expense, it's the amount of time they take during which the couple could be rehearsing. They have little enough time as it is without spending hours making pointless filler. And what we used to get was so much more interesting.

Classic Monkseal!

A reminder to self not to try to eat or drink while reading Monkseal...

Oh dear, were you all of a splutter?! Do you need a good scrub down?

I'm saving it for tonight, after tea... 🍜 📱

Just a little bit of cleaning up to do.

It's amazing what Monkseal can make of a fairly poor week of Strictly.

don't read if you're going to read the blog:

Was going to post something about J but see I seem to have entered the Monkseal Appreciation thread - my bad

Where'd you get my picture from girl😈. Are you my paparazzi stalker😂😂😂

ETA Aah. The Monkseal AT. 😊😜

It's funny but I can really laugh at this, don't mind at all: what I like about Monkseal is his wit is never malicious or hurtful, and he's pretty even handed when he's dishing it out. I always got the sneaky feeling he really quite liked Jay last year.....


BIB - I always felt when Aliona got a promising partner she really focused on showing off what they could do, not herself. I think that ability comes with self confidence, don't you think? And I suppose if you're at the top of your game, you don't need to display yourself with future employment opportunities in mind.


BIB - Oh, I wish, I wish.......

Hello, everyone!

I went to see Aerosmith yesterday and I'm a bit sleepy this morning

I have pretty much nothing to do at work this week so I'll try to watch week 5 either today or tomorrow. I read some of the comments written here so I think I know what to expect...

Monkseal gives a bit of appreciation sometimes!

He appreciates Jay training for the Jive.

And he appreciated Aliona (and Ashley Taylor Dawson)

Well, we are making guest appearances in his blog at the moment! Jaypet army, unite!
He liked Jaliona a lot more before they refused to do their jive in the final. That really p****d him off.

Actually, in that first photo she looks a bit like the one Lola posted earlier! She's one of the warriors in the Jaypet army!

Sorry - cut your post to the relevant bits - yes, I think Jo is making the mistake of out-dancing Ore by too much at this point, drawing the focus to her instead of the partnership. But on the other hand, maybe she's not holding back because she wants to push him?

Like you say, Aliona pulled back and was constantly showing Jay off as much as she could (except in the AT). The main thing wrong with Jay's waltz is that he leaned a bit, a common problem with tall men.

Anyone know the height difference between Ore and Jo?

Just popping in from sunny Staffs to say I'm keeping an eye on you all, jobswise. Please note the final date for applications will be Nov 4 (probably)

After reading comments both on here and elsewhere, I was actually pleasantly surprised by the dances on Saturday - pity about the rest of the show!

I remember reading this it gave me a good old chuckle, he is hilarious. Now I'm going off to watch that glorious routine (titanium) also that's like the first time I've actually seen Aliona front and centre to a routine why didn't they give her more important roles I could watch her dance all day. Now I see the pro routines are staring Jannette and co.

Ore is 5ft 10. Not a clue about Jo Jo. But appears around 5ft 6?

I may have to revise my view of his personality. He supports Manchester United allegedly. Now what do I do??😂😂
Keep your mind on the dance hannah.!!!

Oh, lawdy - so love Monkseal. He has said everything about Ore's waltz that went through my mind when I saw it. Still somewhat bemused and baffled by it ..
