On the MF.. the DS Pro of the Year 2016 has just been updated by Youhinnchild (for which many thanks .. and Gio is in at No 9 of 15. I guessed he would be at 7 or 8, so I am not too disappointed. A mid-table finish feels about right.Incidentally, I thought the summary of Gio's year in 2016 was balanced and fair comment - some highs and some lows as we all know. http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showt...2195950&page=2 Quote:
09 = Giovanni Pernice = 878pts
Next up at Number 9 is Giovanni who debuted on the show in Series 12 managing to get Georgia into the final and finish up as a runner-up. This year however it was a different kettle of fish and it seemed that there was a lot of tabloid interest in the Giovanni/ Laura pairing. However their time in the competition had many ups and downs including an early appearance in the Dance/Off despite high scores and a week off due to injury. Giovanni also came under attack this year from certain quarters about showboating the dances; however I think may have been to accommodate Laura's injury to take the pressure off her a bit. Will be interesting to see what happens next year as I think the slightly shaky year has meant Gio is a lot further down the list than if this was done last year. |

I bit disappointed Gio came in at number 9 on the favourite pro of the year but I suppose it was to be expected after everything that happened last year. Onwards and upwards this year

![]() Can't wait to see the rest of the poll. I think Gorka is going to be surprisingly high. |

So close! |

He is a great dancer. I would still rather watch him than any other pro on Strictly. No poll can change that fact.

Indeed a great dancer and a man of many talent, Gio playing the electric guitar in his Instagram story. I believe he plays the piano and the drums ![]() Hope that amp is turned down or his neighbours might be less appreciative of the guitar playing than I might be.,... I am resisting making ANY comment about the idea of a photo of Big Ben on one's bedlinen

Lovely shot. I think I'm right.. he found time to teach Georgia how to play the acoustic guitar for her role as Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's?

And another funny thing... the GG thread bought Gio a gift to celebrate the start of Strictly 2016. (At roughly the same time as sending a lovely gift to Georgia for the opening of Breakfast at TIffany's). Now.. I think that Gio's gift was... a hamper from Carluccio's.
And that bedside table.. looks to me like... a red hamper from Carluccio's. So.. the GG thread (possibly) have furnished Gio with a bedside table. You couldn't make it up, really. ![]() (Of course, he might receive many, many Carluccio hampers....., I might be wrong etc). |

Yes I thought a fair summary too. Interesting that AJ and Gorka are above - I expect Gorka might have been higher up my own list had I seen more of him (I am talking choreography not six pack!)
On the other side.. I thought his choreo for the Tango and Paso Doble for Tameka was a bit meh. (Tameka's Charleston was choreo'd by externals, and Brendan put together that lovely QS for Anastacia.) I do want to see more of him next year though and I have a sneaking suspicion that Gorka might get a partner who is finalist material - in which case there will be many weeks of Gorkaness to appreciate. I am not surprised that AJ scored higher, as he had a good run with Claudia who was very popular. I liked AJ more and more as the weeks went on so would have scored him quite a bit lower if Claudia had, say, left in Week 3. Gio needs to stay on his game next year as the two male newbies did very well

I didn't know he played guitar as well as drums, man of many talents. (My husband plays saxophone...try living with that lol!) I love the bachelor bedlinen...at least it's not a Spider-Man duvet cover

You can stay on 'beard watch' Issfan ![]() ![]() ![]() Gio is un-starry - I know exactly what you mean. ![]() The Strictly Pro cribs were hilarious. Aliona and her love of custard was.. memorable. I am trying to work out, if Gorka had partnered Claudia, and AJ had partnered Tameka, whether both would be as popular in the poll. I am thinking that Gorka would still be popular, but AJ might have taken a hit for Tameka's early exit. |

Any evidence of this I thought Georgia was taught independently and it was a normal not electric guitar. I know he played the drums in their paso routine however.
Now.. whether Gio was teaching her from scratch, or whether he was helping her with her guitar practice.. who knows. But I am fairly sure I remember her saying something like that. |

Imagine if Gio 'treats' the neighbours to his singing as well as guitar

hey everyone
![]() is anyone here going to the Strictly tour? I'm going to the last show at the o2, really looking forward to it. My seats are really high up though (4th tier) so I think I might have a really rubbish view which is a shame as I really want to see Gio properly

I haven't been to the O2 before. Are you going to Gio's Tour? I think that will offer the best view of him!!

Less expensive and quite close to the stage. We booked the meet and greet and still a lot less money than the O2 last year.. |
