It would save a lot of typing time. Over the years we get the same old thing. Just insert name in the template and you're done!

"I can't believe XXXXX is still in it."

"Why is XXXXX still in it?"

"XXXXX should quit now."

"I can't understand why people don't love the Cliftons."

"I can't understand why people love the Cliftons."

"XXXXX is definitely the worst dancer."

"XXXXX is definitely the best dancer."

"You should be ashamed of voting for XXXXX."

"It's about the best dancer."

"It's not about the best dancer."

There must be plenty more.

Priceless! And so true.

Perfect 👌

XXX is a ringer
XXX is dull
XXX is arrogant

Why does Bruno go wild over XXX?
What has Craig got against XXX?

Or just let people live their life and express their views?

I mean it is usually similar themes each year but I love it. The reasons these forums exist is because everyone here is passionate about Strictly or dancing or both. The people in my life don't give two hoots about Strictly so I get to come here and talk about my own viewpoints of the show.

Don't think of it as whinging, think of it as expressions of passion

You missed out, "Time to change Claudia and Tess."

No hang on!

Someone has just done it for you.

"Why is there so much whinging in here?!"

"It's an entertainment show not a dance show"

Too true. However much I might disagree with another FM's views, nothing is more than annoying than the self appointed forum police :

"This topic has been covered before " (no really?)

"If you can't say anything nice ..."

"Just because you are a jellus hater"

"God, is this thread still going"? Yep and you've just kept it going even longer.

Why don't people just ignore the threads or the FMs who bug them so much?

There are whole screeds that reappear frequently that I am sure someone has a Word file, and just cuts and pastes as required

Cant warm to XXXX

There's just something about them I don't like -- I don't know what it is...
Is it only me...?
Their Mask is falling.
Fakey, fake FAKE
#Fact

I love the 'I can't warm to' posters.

It's their way of trying to still appear nice, whilst hoping they are firing the starting gun for others to pour in with some really nasty comments.

For some reason I can't warm to that type of poster.

Aw, the first vulture is really a cute little seed-eater 🐤

This. Those who criticise thread topics with "....... But I wouldn't have started a thread on it" or those who say that never start their own threads but find it so easy to criticise others

Wasn't there a thread just recently with pretty much the same theme and content as this one...hrmmm

Woeful lack of SMUG! this year.

A few years back, if you Googled Smug this forum would appear in top 5 reuslts

James Jordan, is that you?

Usually acompanied by a validation based on the posters ability to "tell from their face" what an individual on TV is thinking. What I wouldn't give for that gift. Can you imagine how much easier life, work, personal relationships etc would be if you could reliably tell what a colleague etc was thinking, just by looking at them?.

Yup, you can guarantee what follows will make no sense, whilst also ripping said celebrity to shreds.

Don't need XXX for arrogant - just the name Kevin

You're right because all the things people complain about happen every year anyway. We'll have another Ed Balls figure next year, just as we'll have some ex soap star or pop princess who clearly have loads of dance experience. And yet it's still fun.

But where would all the fun be in that

Well I was aware of the irony in the fact that the threads which bug me are probably the ones I contribute the most to!
