Morning

Sorry I have a really random and off-topic question here, but I've been puzzled by it for ages...

On the day the spoiler thread goes up lots of people put in 'times' they want? Has anyone any idea why they do this? Are they guessing what time they think the 'spoiler' will come out? No one seems to mention it after the spoiler goes out, yet people seem so keen to do it week after week....any idea what its all about?
Yes, I think it's just to see who can get the closest to the time that the spoiler comes out.

Thanks wicks, that was all I could think it was. It just puzzled me that once the spoiler came out, it was never mentioned (ie who 'won' it if it was a little game).

I've never posted there but think that's what it's all about. I've never looked that closely (just scanned for the result) but yes, that's odd that it's not commented on.

There's a poll on the main board about which is the best Charleston, Claudia and AJ's or GG's. A poll that Jay can't win, who'd have thunk it?!

Glad you asked that question humpty - I'm a little afraid of asking things as I know I'm 100years behind when it comes to technology. I am a grandmother & know my family get exasperated with me all the time - I have to ask them little biitesize questions!

But here goes for anyone who could help with my silly questions how do get the 'emojis' on to this reply page?
Also writing something in italics or bold? Any help appreciated' thankyou.

I wouldn't pay much attention to polls like that anyway Wicks! - going by some of the stuff you read down there, I'd imagine people are caught up with more negative stuff than the dance itself!

As for the spoiler thing - I've been curious about it for ages! I noticed if I came across it earlier in the day, people seemed really keen to get their 'times' in....yet afterwards I never read anything about it (I thought someone would interject with 'I won! I won!' later on, but maybe they keep their celebrations to themselves)

Maybe it's something to do to pass the time but that everyone forgets about it once the spoiler actually comes in!

When you're typing your reply Kathy, the little emojis are at the right hand side of where you post - just click on them when you want to add them in to your post.

Once you're on the reply page and are typing - If you look up above, there are different icons (in the grey area above) - for bold you click on the bold 'B' button and you'll get a thing that looks like (B) (B) come up - you just make sure that the type you want to be in bold sits between these two signs. The same goes for italics - next to the B button is an I button. You just do the same - make sure that what you want to write in italics is typed in between the two (I) (I) symbols. Hope that makes sense Kathy - its actually a lot easier to do than to describe

I'm not a grandmother, but I often get 'that look' from my teenage daughter when I ask her (what I think) is a really complicated and technical question!

Apologies if this has been posted already but it's a pic of Gorka's new puppy

Isn't that absolutely beautiful ?

That is very much the in breed at the moment - which means they are probably being over bred as we speak.

For the last two weekends everybody has been madly out - the first elimination was heavily delayed because there wasn't a DO, it was reported that there was a 30 minute wait while a decision was made as to how they would proceed.
Last Saturday there was not a known mole in the Strictly audience in advance - eventually someone in the audience responded to pleas for info but it took much longer than usual to get the result.
Usually the result comes in at just after 10.30 but for the last two weekends it has been well after 11 pm.
People do actually say if they got the time right - i.e. the time the first confirmed result is posted - it is just a silly game to keep everyone occupied while waiting !
There is no prize - just bragging rights

Gio looking handsome for ITT tonight😍

Sandy was just thinking myself where is Afton?
I have heard from afton - she has been super busy but is keeping up with the thread but is always behind.
She is now off on holiday but will return to us soon !

It makes sense that they record two nights of ITT at once - Does that mean that they also record Wednesday and Thursday on Wednesday ?
That would explain Karen Hardy on Mon/Tues and Ian Waite on Wed/Thurs for example !

Thanks for clearing that important issue up Sandy, I've always wondered
I've never noticed anyone celebrate their win, which is why I was getting confused as to what it was actually about!

I have read somewhere that Mon and Tues are filmed on Monday but then the rest are live BUT I'm sure I read somewhere last week that someone thought that Thursday's was filmed on Wednesday in the same way (so the only filming days are M/W/Fr) but I'm not sure of that. Apparently you can tell as the announcer says "live from London" on Mondays but not Tuesdays for example! I'll listen out to see what they say on Thursdays.

I can't remember having so many really great dancers in one show before either - not in week 3 !
I would add Louise to your list - and on top of that Greg, Ore and Daisy all have potential and produced good dances on Saturday too.
hello, my favourites are still Danny, Will, Robert, Laura (because of Gio), Louise and Daisy but I like Ore, Greg and Claudia too so, not only is the standard very high for week 3, but there's so many couples whose dances I look forward to ... in prevous series there's only been 2 or 3

Is anyone watching ITT?

Not going to lie, that clip of Gorka handcuffing Gio has done something to me *fans self*
one for the calendar

Talking of dreams; I once dreamt that Gio and I were rolling big wheels of cheese down a hill. He was on the pavement and I was on the grass verge, after that we went shopping. I have no idea what that means or what we went shopping for!

I've been having had a good read around; first of all I'm amazed at how many people seem to thoroughly read this thread (whilst clutching at their pearls). Secondly there's also an awful lot of love for Gorka out there, especially in his uniform. Personally, I think he looks mighty fine in this pic too:
https://www.instagram.com/p/BLWAuqHD_HR/
...... nice picture of Gorka .... unfortunately, I've never dreamed of Gio but did have a dream about Brendan last night, probably because I'd been reading an article about him ......and he's my lest favourite pro dancer

I have heard from afton - she has been super busy but is keeping up with the thread but is always behind.
She is now off on holiday but will return to us soon !
that's good, I thought perhaps she'd been on a Gio tanning course

Lola the cat thanks for popping in and I'll look forward to reading any reviews, by the way, my friend has a cat called Lola

ah, star, I didn't realise that I could correct other people's quoting transgressions in my own quote! I will remember in future - but am not going to correct my earlier crime* against quoting laws as I'm doing this on my phone.

*crime against quoting laws?! Do you think that's enough for a visit from Officer Gorka? Here's hoping!

( speaking of which, Monkseal, in his review of today's ITT has summed up the segment of the programme that showed backstage at movie night, by just posting the picture of Gio being cuffed by Gorka. That was pretty much the only thing in that segment right?)
Do you think the BBC would do a strictly spin off Called officer Gorka?
It would mainly be just Gorka in his police uniform dancing now and again. Gio can have an appearance too, wearing his paso leathers from last year (Still my favourite Gio look 😍... He's had some duff costumes so far this series)

Or maybe a joint calendar?

Here's the link to Monkseal's review of ITT - including said photo - I can't extract it but just scroll down.

https://monkseal.wordpress.com/2016/...es-two-week-3/

He's already posted his summaries of the weekend's programmes but will put up full recaps later this week
Oh my!! 😍😍

Goodness me what a mess that previous page is in, quotes all over the place. Tut!


A number of positive tweets coming out of Malvern tonight!

Ahh he's lovely...almost as lovely as Gorka

That reminds me I found a picture of Maybe mystery man George Alsford with your favourite dog Stewie Sinclair last week Sandy... I don't think I posted it on here. I'll post it later on.

Morning all

gorgeous I'm pleased they're on tonight as the Friday show always seems a bit hectic

have just learned that Laura has a dog called Mick, which is named after Mick Jagger, so she's gone up in my estimation

Popping in briefly. Many thanks for friendly comments yesterday.

I think he used to be pernicegiovann1official or something close to that? He also has a blue tick on Insta now - is that new?
